cost that branch 6 500 maintain for the first year one third of its budget and predicted a home making vice in georgetown would cost the sponsoring group approxi raately 1 000 to operate the first year there is greater need for a home making service in this area here nght now than there was in toronto township when the service there was inaugur ated he said in urging its for mation mr tisdale

trial and residential clinics last year compared to georgetown s 358 for three clinics his opinion drew questions from a number of the george town branch members which brought out that the wide diff erence in costs was due to diff erences in bookkeepers proccd ures the local brarich includes numerous expenses in their ell nic costs such as advertising hall rental and others which the toronto twp
