families with small incomes:
The oldest girl in a large
family is born into a life of
slavery. From the time she
can toddle she is looking
after the younger ones -
dressing them. bathing them,
changing their diapers. At
an early age she becomes a
second m mot er" helping
with cooklng, scrubbing,
cleaning and ironing. Then
she has to get a job on the
outside to help put the
younger ones through school.
Then she has to turn around
and spend the best years of
her life supporting a sick
mother and a senile father.
I ask you, is this fair? This
was the story Of my life and
I wonder how many others.

tervene Eva and my brother
told me I was in no emotional

the shock wouldn't have been

I can't see how my brother

THE COUNCILS VIEW
1t is evident that Eva and
her brother made their deci-
sion in good faith and based
it on medical information.
Judging from Grace's reac-
ton, we believe she was not
consulted because they feared
a wild emotional outburst
which might seriously affect
their mother.
Now it is quite likely that
Grace is using her sister and
brother as ScapegoatS for
her own guilt feelings. De-
spite her long devotion to
her mother, there were prob
ably times during which deep
