“I’d like to be through with this but I’ll stick to it until we get it thrashed out,” Mrs. Buntin went on. "A key factor in the demand for local funds is companion services.” She reported that the welfare department did a public survey a couple of years ago on which services should be given priority and found that local people consider services to the aged most important. “So therefore we put the emphasis on companion services.”
