Canada The committee which groups representatives of business labor and the general public and is affiliated with the private Howe Research Institute said government spending must be restrained and

will no longer be taken for granted under new legislation expected to be approved by the Ontario cabinet this week John Anderson deputy minister of community and social services said in an inter view that under the legisla tion both men and women will have to prove their need to stay home rather than work In the past only men had to prove they should stay at home The legislation calls for all ablebodied welfare recipients to work when full or parttime jobs are available and ap propriate for them Mr Anderson said there are about 40000 female heads of families collecting municipal welfare in Ontario The onus of determining who should work will fall on the social worker The deputy minister said ear ly encouragement to take job is in the womans best interests because many women on welfare are frightened by the prospect of working They remain on allowances until their children finish school and it is too late for them to find job so they go on individual assistance he noted Mr Anderson said the pro Wnce is experiencing steady growth of women receiving longterm assistance par ticularly deserted wives and single women with children 015153 SHOWN AT 7008 850 Adult Entertainment IHLVSHL
