war policies w ith tiie average experienced obscr vcr being aghast at the lack of force fu or strong opposition in tbe ntw membership of he nineteenth parlia ment of canada not only is he opposition in tho house of commons rather of a limit ed or futile nature ccn barren at timus but the national drama is producing what is typical of llfes iron- ltin that at this moment of waning opposition ihere is concerted drive against the last refuge of resistance in the red chamber of the senate which both major political parties have been reducing in past few generations as a donkeyengine u help run a political machine or as a state of political vas salage or appendage of a party both major political parties have used strategic plots against the senate at one time or another por the first time since the period towards the tlose of the 15 year regime of sir wilfred uiurier it appears now that the liberals will shortly attain a ma jorlty n the senate when premier king comt into office in 1935 there were 62 conseravuves and 34 liberals in the upper chamber but the pres ent standing ls conservatives 50 and liberals 45 with one more seat to be filled soon by the king government when it is remembered that all fu ture senators for the next few years will be liberals and that most men appointed to the senate are of ad vanced age it is clear that this last hope of opposition from the senate as a good and proper check upon any precipitate legislative acts ls now completely lost being nothing short of a handy party instrument this s an accurate report of the sfatmanshlp and political situation which now prevails on parliament hill in this momentous period of canada s history where events on tbe national stage are moving faster and faster in tune with the accelerated pace

ward commitnirus to the society through court orders by our county judges 1 of these being permanent commit ments 3 temporary and 2 temporary ordtrs extended for a further period in the case of the permanent wards 3 were du to the dea h of both par ents 2 the parents unfit and unable to propcrh maintain 2 children bom out of lawful wedlock whose mothers were unable or unfit to properly prrj- vidc for them in the case of the 3 teinporarj wards 2 different famues in eacn instance the motherjs in an ontario mental hospital and the fa ther ls unable to properly care for them the 2 temporary commitmenus were due to the separation of the par ents and neither parent having a suit able home for the children i would point out here that where a child is permanently committed to the care of the children s aid society through a court order the society be comes the legal guardian of the child until 21 years of age unless released through legal adoption or released from guardianship with the approval of the provincial superintendent per manent commitment to the care of the society deprives the parent or par- enl- from all nuthorlty or claim over the child children under care at the end of

boarding home system of oaring for the child ren tills has been ample time for a fair trial of this program and i am safe in aylng thai to date the so ciety is most pleased with the re- suite the children adjust themselves very readily to their new homes and surroundings and the older ones take an active part in the school and com munity jife of their particular neigh bourhood some of the older children will soon be ttirougft school and it ls hoped positions may be found far them as they grow older and leave their pres ent homos no matter where they may be the private home life and training which they have enjoyed will be most helpful to them and ttiey also will have the assurance that there is a home to which they may return wltth welcome awaiting them the wards of school age attend school regularly and we- endeavour to- see their teachers at leastttwlee a year ttiree of the older wards are attend ing high school a general rtport on each ward has to be submitted to the provincial department twice year ly we also visit tbe wards in the different homes as frequently aa time will permit during the year each of the wards in boarding homes and a number in free homes had a complete medical and dental examination with neces sary treatment provided ten of th wards had their tonsils removed la peel memorial hoslptal a word of thanks here to dr w w barlett of brampton who performed the opera tions and who takes a very special in terest in the health of the children i wish ere- to express thanks to the foster parents who without exception take a whole hearted interest in the- children placed in their care and give them all the advantages of home life taking a special interest in their school work church and sunday school attendance and training them to eventually take their places in tba uorld as worthwhile citizens 4 children of unmarried parents act the problems arising out of the ad ministration of this act demand a great deil of time and attention an he work ls most important as every child born out of lawful wedlock is potentlill a neglected child a total of 104 cases were contacted during the ear a decrease of 4 ram a year ago 38 of these being new cases and the remainder carried over from the pre vious vear present indications are that the war sltua ion will materially inert s the work under this act all agre signed bv the putative fathers pertaining to the support of the children and anj court ac ion is sublet o the approval and direction of the provincla officer recentlv we have dealt with the cast of a young unmarried mother who is mi ntallv defective arrange- menus have now been completed for her admission to an ontario hospital for superv lsion and training tho- civlld 111 this particular case will have to bt tared for by lhe society as the maternal grandparents are totally in capable of doing so and the putative father ls unknown six agreemenus were obtained from alleged fathers making provision for the care of the children one court order and 2 variation orders made through the courts a number of the children in the above cases have already been placed for adoption in very splendid homes first having obtained the mothers consent to adoption these place ments are supervised by the society during the twoyear probation period it ls still most difficult to procure financial assistance from the putative fathers of children bom out of lawful wedlock in many cases due to lack of corroboriton of the girls story and in others due to lack of employment it would be quite impossible to give full details of the work involved through the enforcement of this act including many interviews with the girl and her parents the man in ques tion court attendances and interviews with solicitors fuu details of each case are submitted to the provincial officer adoption aet the work arising out of this parti cular act ls without doubt tbe most gratifying branch of the work twen ty seven legal adoption orders were completed by our county judges art increase of 13 over a year ago v the work under this act is also handled through the provincial officer all documents being forwarded to his office previous to presentation to the judge it ls most remarkable the love and affection that ls bestowed upon children in adoption homes pos sibly most especially in tbe case of formerly childless homes with our status of an officer under the adoption act we have been able to assist in the completion of adoptions in the case of older persons who were taken into homes previous to the adop tion act coming into force the ontario adoption act is most binding when the final order is sign ed by the judge the adopting parents assume ell responstbilltt end control of natural parents and the former parent or parents lose all
