Original Toronto Star caption: Camping is the last straw; says 39-year-old divorcee Ruby Barry; who last night moved her six children into an 8 by 8 tent in the Humber Valley because they can't afford to pay rent on $139 welfare every two weeks. Mrs. Barry says she applied June 20 for a house from Ontario Housing Corporation but has received no reply. We'll be here until we get something; she said in a interview today.
