the city separated by 1200 feetwith max imum of seven persons Group homes are governmentsponsored and are meant to eventually replace institutions throughout the province They can be comprised of virtually every segment of society including persons with drug or alcohol problems unwed mothers or children without families PUBLIC RESPONSE But Ald Parker said theres no way shell support the concept until the public has been heard from She said that because the provincial government says there should be group homes doesnt mean the city should go ahead and allow them everywhere You might

Womens Bureau of the provincial ministry of labor lot of male managers still believe women work just for pin money women arent career oriented and young married women will only work for while then get pregnant Marnie Clarke said here Saturday Speaking to group of about 100 people at con ference of the Ontario Pro gressive Conservative Association of Women Ms Clarke said these attitudes must change SECONDARY EARNER She said men in manage ment must realize there is no such thing as secondary wageearner and women will no longer accept that idea twoearner family is paying bills and buying things keeping people work ing That is one of the factors keeping our economy as healthy as it is she said There is traditional not intentional bias in job evaluations that maintains the wage gap between men and women with women ear ning about 53 per cent what men earn Ms Clarke said Studies have proven that 10 to 25 per cent of that figure is straight sex discrimina tion she said Sex discrimination has been part of society since recorded history and its the only worldwide discrimina tion Too often man defines all women in terms of one perhaps his mother or wife and cant relate to women in the workplace Ms Clarke said women must fight all forms of discrimination and when group is discriminated against the government must get involved she add ed The Womens Bureau is ac tive in working with employers to determine how the needs of working women can best be served Ms Clarke admits unless there is top level commitment for change little happens She is encouraged by employers response to her suggestions but says shes still talking to very small number of people 1m concerned about the others who dont want to be bothered she said SMALL BUSINESS RESEARCH While working with employers the bureau also does research into op portunities for women in small business Many women have become frustrated with large structures because they cant get ahead and are starting out on their own Ms Clarke says She said the bureau en courage women to get into nontraditional jobs because employers have always relied on immigrants in the workforce and that source is drying up At one time the govern ment thought single mothers shouldnt be encouraged to leave their children and was content to have many stay on welfare Ms Clarke said Now it realizes most mothers dont want welfare but cant support their families working at low pay ing jobs These women must be trained she said In the long term Ms Clarke is confident the status of working women will im prove but she finds the short term discouraging The economic downturn is being used as an excuse for inactivity she said It is harder to get work and women are being told theyll have to wait for changes Zoning bylaws she said would really serve little purpose if group homes were allowed into areas designed primarily for single families for exam ple In addition theres been lack of information and study on the problem she said In other developments the committee will look at tentative recommendation from administra tion for the 1980 roads program ROAD LIST The list submitted by the administration is ten tative and will not all necessarily get done in 1980 says the administrative report The widening of Bayfield Street from Highway 400 to Cundle Road leads the list The widening of Dunlop Street East from the Lakeview Dairy to Blake Street is next The Dunlop Street project however is subject to public meeting with residents date for the meeting will probably be decided tonight Other streets on the agenda include Anne Street from Donald to Dunlop Street Wellington Street from Bayfield to Toronto Street and Well ington Street East from Bayfield to Owen Street Simcoe Street from Toronto to Bradford Street and Ferris Lane at
