I welcome an op- portunity to set the record straight for your readers. Those critical of the changes have lost sight of our major ob- jective — breaking the cycle of welfare dependency by provid- ing the maximum incentives to independence, There is not a person on welfare who would not applaud these objectives because they want to.be contrib- uting members of their com- munity, they want to feel good about themselves and they want to improve their situation. This is a positive and meaningful ap- proach. Everyone who is reclassified and has their benefit rate re- duced by $50 a month will, at the same time, be eligible for ad- ditional benefits and services to assist them to become self-- supporting. Many of these recip- ients are young, single, mobile people. | . After three months on GAIN, To the Editor; We are at the end of another very successful soccer season. As ithe parents of three enthusiastic soccer players, we would like to extend a public ‘Thank You”’ to all those involved in the Terrace Youth Soccer Association.

The first $50 (for a single person) or $100 (for a per- son with dependents or on GAIN for the Handicapped) earned per month doés not af- fect their GAIN benefit rate and 25 percent of additional earnings is not deducted from their bene- fits. This encourages recipients to find part-time work which not only supplements their income but also. provides work ex- perience. There are babysitting jobs, and casual and part-time work available. We are also providing training and employment opportunities, — help with daycare and transpor- tation costs, and we assist single parents with the transition from assistance to employment. I am determined to make all possible efforts to help recip- ients become independent and self-supporting and the change we are making to the income as-. sistance program will help to do this. Claude Richmond Minister of Social Services and Housing Youth Soccer Association - should inspire pride = group in the area. And registra- lions are increasing every year! Terrace should be very proud of. the Youth Soccer Association because of the tremendous recreation opportunity it pro- vides for so many young people at such a reasonable cost, The cuaches and teams are also great ambassadors for our city.
