Editor,

I’m impressed with the government’s initiative to introduce a senior citizens grant of 5,200 francs a month to elderly people who don’t have a pension.

The spirit of this kind of grant is one that I totally adhere to. I believe that we, as a community should be able to show our appreciation to our elders and make their last few years in our midst as comfortable as possible. I only wish it was possible that we could afford even more money.
