soon as possible after gathering or purchasing and don t wash or hull them until jus before using it is wise to spread the berries on a platter and keep in the electric refrigerator no need to mention the delight of strawibeii ties served au nature whole unbailed berries served with sugar and cream here are two worthy substitutes which our folks think flat ters the flavour of the fruit the first js made by beating sufficient milk into cream cheese to make a sauce just thin enough to pour for the second beai creamed cottage cheese flavoured with orange juice with a rotary or electric beater until

problems and watch this column for replies final letter from childrens aid society prepared by the association of child s aid societies of the province or ontario tn this lost article about the fifty two children s aid societies we warn to quote something said not long ago bj that dean or canadian social servicq workers dr charlotte whitton speak ing at a gathering of members of the brocki me children s aid society dr wliitton said you were created in a day of much narrower concepts of social work than today today i beliere the whole vi sion of the public has widened from protection and aid to the child to safe guarding the home and family and now it is broadening out into community help in the household one boy need ing a surgical operation four other children under nourished one wtth ft serious bronchial condition the baby temporarily living with a jedrilp aunt no church connection the positive factors in this case as the wise social worker perceived were that lhe father was a hardworking man the mother devoted and cooperative and the children intelligent mid friend ly througth the society s efforts a far- seeing employer delayed bailiff action the court placed the father on proba tion to awaken him to a full sense of his home conditions and his own res- seems to me must extend you cannot overdo your duties under statutory ob ligation but you must face the deel sion as to whether the children s aid is going to meet the challenge of today and lnvlsage this wider basis of com munity aid or whether it is going to stick with a small specialist job in the ohild protection field if you take this latter course can you see where it will end will your ttmourousness justify calling into existence new and other j supplementary volunteer agencies for our community problems as they em erge about the family someone is go lng to deal with thorn will it be you or will it be yet another agency tills then is the broadening concept of the children s aid society of your society behind the child lies his heii tage his environment and the lmme dlate problems of his family to rescue tht child we must il it is at all possible rescue his parents the last resource oi the good society is to remove the child from his own parents both for his awn sake and for the sake of the cotimunity who must in that event take from them the responsibility which is properly their own here is the story ot a family that tli rough patience skill and under standing on the part of trained social workers in one society was sahaged as a moral and financial gain to their community it
