people were added to the welfare role since last month a report to the community and services health committee last week showed the number one reason people give for needing welfare assistance in york is the inability to obtain regular employment followed by uic benefits exhausted uic benefits not adequate and ineligibility for uic the number one reason shown in the report that york caseload workers terminate a persons claim is that their income is too high to qualify for assistance followed by vol- untary client withdrawal from the program of the 967 unqualified applications last month

correspondent the political arena has shifted from the sunday evening dinner table to the candidates office of the markham-whitchurch- stouffville reform party joe sherren elected last fri day as party riding leader says his jump to politics was motivat ed by disillusionment with the federal government at dinner on sunday nights with the family i would be frus trated with what was going on a lot of friends and coworkers said you should run you should do something about it so i did sherren was bothered by canadas seemingly endless eco nomic woes and in his opinion a lenient justice system and moneywasting immigration policies i saw my future my childrens future and my grandchildrens future being taken away from me the 45year old father of three says i didnt like that what sherren does favor how ever is reform party policy it just hit me this party affirmed what i had been spoutingoff about as an armchair politician for years and years although hes the new leader of the 800member party sher ren has little time to sit back and relish his election victory theres too much work to be done we have to prepare a new list of riding officers and of course theres the impending federal election but the most important thing of all is the vote the oct 26 vote centres on the charlottetown accord a package of constitutional proposals sup ported by federal provincial ter ritorial and
