Some welfare recipients should work The Durham Social Ser- vices department wants to . reform fifty hardcore wel- fare recipients. Social Services Commis- sioner Doug Johns is work- ing on a program to instill work habits in a group of perpetual welfare recipients. The idea is to take people who have been on welfare for six or seven years and to give them jobs people ordin- arily wouldn't do. These people would receive about $2.50 a day for their labour in addition to their welfare payments. "The job will involve some re-education but most of it will be motivation," Mr. Johns explained. The average welfare recipient in Durham receives about $5,000 a year. These men would do a wide range of work including things such as repairing furniture and publice work projects.
