the georgetown herald wednesday june 7th 1944 between two loves by duford jenne bctcclur syndicate wnu srvlca o uth i dont believe itl gladys said quickly startled and shocked by her friends words but its true gladys and i thought i ought to tell you if el more doesnt love you enough to take care of your mother i dont think he la worthy of you for we all know of the love between you and your mother yes i was in the office and elmore was chatting with blake and i heard him say dis tinctly i dont know what to do with gladys mother and the fact that you have been engaged for three years shows something too he has been making a fair salary right along what is he doing with it after ruth had gone gladys sat alone in her room and pondered the situation and as she thought her mood darkened something was wrong it had been a long engage ment and when out of her longing to have elmore with her she had suggested in indirect ways that she wished they could have a home to gether he had evaded her sugges tion it never occurred to her that her mother might be the obstacle not even elmore is dearer to me than you mother dear and between you and him i can make a quick choice gladys thought to herself but i dont i dont want to give him up her heart told her almost with a cry the rest of the afternoon the prob lem raced back and forth in her mind it seemed so logical the ex planation of elmores action on the basis of what ruth had heard yet gladys had never dreamed that el more had ever thought of separating them they had been so happy to gether over the many years since her father died if mother knew that such a thing as tiiis was happening it would break her heart gladys warned herself and i must not let a hint of it reach her i will talk with el more though that evening when her fairhaired smiling lover held her in his arms just before leaving after his visit she ventured to touch upon the sub ject that was troubling her dear is there any reason any real reason why we cant have a home together now i hate to ask you this way she said gently but i want you to be frank with me his gray eyes grew suddenly so ber and his manner changed in good time sweetheart in good time its the waiting that bothers i know but well work it out now you leave it to me troubled in mind and in heart she did not know what to do but by the end of the next day she had reached the decision and alone in her room she wrote elmore a brief note telling him what she had heard and informing him that she could not bear to think of leaving her mother or living apart from her after their long years of companion ship then after effort she added the sentence that broke the engage- mmt htwn them as she slipped down the stairs her mother came into the hall gladys elmore telephoned that he was coming over her mother childrens aid society prepared by the association of the childrens aid societies of the pro vince of ontario we have traced during vbe course of this series just what are the statutory duties responsibilities and day-to-day- work for your children a aid society the society has very definite obliga tions to fulfil under the csuldrens protection act the unmarried parents act and the adoption act neither must it be forgotten that the society has a very close relationship to a juvenile or family court unfortun ately such courts for the hearing and disposition of cases of juvenile delin quency are not widely established in ontario and we can generally find that where these have been established it has been the children s aid society that has created the public opinion which has brought them into being and thereafter cooperated in develop ing and maintaining them as- in norfolk county and terord county where such courts have been estab lished comparatively recently it has been the strong body of public opin ion interested in and informed on the work of tne childrens aid society that has seen the need and pressed it home many other areas are await ing similar action and we may be sure this will not come until groups of men and women bestir themselves where there is a close relationship between tne society and the juvenile court nany a youthful offender who otherwise would be committed to a reformatory is committed to the care of the society while on probation the results of this policy are lnsplr- lrg the boy or girl comes under the sympathetic and trained care c4 social workers trained in child psy chology a specially selected lostea borne experienced in handling way ward adolescents is provided and hun dreds of cases testify to the jusuftca- tlon of utin humane policy and the need for its extended application in ontario as mr b w heise super intendent of the children s aid branch at queens park and now acting de puty minister of welfare said re- cently it is astounding that the type of boys committed to bowmanvul the bovs reformatory which was closed shortly after the outbreak of war varied as greatly as it did it was also astounding that the authori ties were able to empty bowmanvwe and place its boys in foster homea when it bmd to do so the percent age of success presented me immedi ately with the question whv were eome of these boys sent to bowman- vllle if when placed in foster homes many after only a few days stay in the institution the change met with such success there can only be one answer to mr heises question there were not not sufficient communities with a strong enough body of thoughtful concerned public opinion interested in this phase of the work of their child rens aid society this is a challenge to every society in the province and let us never forget that no society can be as strong as it snould be un- lesb it has sympathetic active pro gregrtvemlnded men and women on its board and committees and among its native of georgetown mrs emma cook dies in winnipeg mrs emma jane cook widow of theo cook passed away at winnipeg man on saturday may oth 1m4 many old

were rescued because a community through its so ciety provided the lifebehi to be continued said smiling her et5tle motherly face brightening with pleasure gladys stopped short mother please tell him not to come i really dont want to see him why child childis there some thing wrong her mother asked with sudden concern nothing much mother mine you just phone him gladys said hastily slipping out im going to the mail box when she returned she stole into her room her heart too full to risk even meeting her mother as she sat beside the window she heard el mores voice and her mothers talk ing in the garden she is worried my boy over something her mothers sweet voice was aaymg pl dont blame her i guess we might as well let her into the secret s the house is about finished anyway vour rooms are o k and gladys and i can get along howd you like the rooms elmore s cheery voice asked oh so much h will seem like heaven to be with you and gladys and we will be sure glad to have youl what a family we will make he broke in gaily now ill hunt up gladys she ought to have come by this time gladys wat athrill with her dis covery she knew now he had been building a house for them her mother was in the secret and it was to be a surprise but when hecame in and gathered her in his arms she made him tell the story ever again and then she asked but didnt you tell blake that you a didnt know what to do with moth- w t ah i i see 1 see what put the shadows in your brown eyes honey he said slowly listen blake is a house designer and i said something like that to him be cause i wasnt sure bow to give your mother some privacy and yet have her one of us but blake told me you see gladys pulled his blonde head down to bars and kissed him oh my dear i do i doi and with the words that came from the depths of her heart the shadows of doubt van ished instead of choosing between two loves aha could keep both within the past few years the nor folk county society extended in a di rection which might well be followed by other societies in communities lack- some of the aunt changes in municipal act in section 430 of the munlcpal act wherever the word junk appears rt to to be struck out and the word

plan and be prepared to experiment we can only do this if large groups of individuals in every community are interested and sup port every phase of our child work we cannot have a complete organization otherwise the day has long passed when the children b aid society can be looked on as thai charitable organ ization that gives to the poor child something not much more some times than it can get in its own home it must now fulfill its function as a community childwelfare organization and as an overall community pro ject it should have the interest of every organized group in the com munity and if there is one group not mtererftibd it aehoaves someone to see it is represented there are fifty two children s aid societies in ontario there is one in your community i how much do you know about it have you helped it in its work has your club or church group indicated a desire to do some thing to make it a stronger society fulfilling every function that would help to get at the
