In the homes where they were liv- ing in Canada the children were cared for as members of the fam- ily but there would be costs of hos- pitalization and extra clothing which some of the foster parents could not meet. "It is the responcibility of our committee to see to it that these expenses for the reception centres (set up to receive tne children on their arrival in Canada) rent needs are paid," Dr. Wallace said.

"The best known example of this network development is the work of Sir Adam Beck, who developed the Niagara system of the Hydro-Elec- tric Power Commission, shipping power from the Falls at 110,000 volts and serving a large part of Ontario.
