~TUR~Z~AY, JUNE 29, 1950 TRE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE. ONTAItIO PAGE THIRTEEN Public Given Insight of Work Doue by Children's Aid Society A Very compréhensive survey the work of the Children's Aid We iety o! Nortbumberland and Durham was presented at the an- &l meeting o! the organiza lion rune 7. So much a! this social ý ok geson quietly about the ,ntdCounties and it is seldom bat the general public bas an op- %ortunity a! studying the situa- enan d realizing the importance value of this vital service. Superintendent's Report As we review the work o! the hst year, it is inberesting 10 note 'tat need for Protection Services lave not lessened. Mnny families Lnd children are still suffering emotionàlly and pbysically as a !esult of poor housing, uncmploy- nt, martial discord, etc. . rotection work can well bd 'alled the basis service o! tbe So- liety and is the patient efforts o! :he staff to keep homes intact, rnd assist the cildren and par bntg ta resolve their probicms and thereby live a bappier and more -fatisfYing life. In these United Counties we are bandicapped ini that we have no psychiatrie services. More ef!ece- tive work could be accomplisbed if we bad the services o! a Mental Health Clinic where some o! the underlying causes are detected and metbod o! treatment advised. During the past year, service bas been izivcn ta more than 256 families involving some 396 chil- dren. This work involved 873 visits and 1167 office interviews in ahl parts o! both Northumberland and Durham. Child Care As aur year closes there are 220 children in our care; o! these, 163 are wards of Ibis Society, 42 non- wards and 15 wards o! other Chil- drcn's Aid Socicties in these Unit- ed Counties. Wben a cbild cames inb the care o! the Society, we strive ta do for tbem as we would our very own, ta provide tbem with a good home, and belp ýhem find the most that life bas ta offer. These chil- dren are essentially the same as other children in the community- they have feelings, they want ta ARE Y@U USINO THE NEW PARATHION INSECTICIDES TO PÉ@TECT Y@UR CR@PS?

The interest and co- operation of aur foster parents ini providing these needs for the children has been most gratifylng and of inestimable value. They are an essential part of this So- ciety and willing ta undertake a large share of responsibility. 1 To Mr. and Mrs. Genno at our 1Shelter (Hillcrest Lodge) we owe a great deal for the care and un- derstanding given to the chlldren who, for temporary periods, have resided with them. Adoptions Another phase of our child care work is the adoptions. Durinjz the year, 32 adoptions were complet- ed and as of March 31,. there were 65 children in adoption homes. This is the most gratifying work o! the Society, for it affords the child an opportunity of receiving the love and care that good fam- ily life provides. We only wish we could ful! il the wisbes and desires of all our pros- pective adoptive parents. Famlly Allowanees Family Allowances are paid to the Society for each child and wbile the allowance is restricted as to use for general expenditures, it bas been the means o! provid- ing extras for the child-tbose things which the Society bas notý been able ta give, sucb as, skates, music lessons, spendrng allow- ances, special transportation, etc. During the past year we were requested 10 make 21 investiga- tions for Family Allowance office. These requests were for the pur- pose of adjusting discrepancies in birth dates, assisting parents and relatives with proper registra- tions o! birth, and investigating complaints concerning tbe use of family allowances-that is, en- deavouring to ascertain whetber or not the children are receiving this kenefit. At the present time Ibis Society is administering family allowan- ces for two families. Unmarrled Parents The Society's responsibility, un- der the Children of Unmarried Parent's Act is tbreefold. Tbe first and most important is tbe unmarried mother, ber emo- tional reaction to' ber condition, ber decision as to plans for ber child, and ber eventual rebabili- tation into the community. The Children's Aid Society sbould and can be instrumental in guiding the unmarried mother 10 i realistic solution of ber personal problem. While tbe attitude of the general public towards illegitimacy bas changed materially in the last f ew decades, some communities are tolerant to a degree but bave not yet learned to be constructively understanding and sympathetic. Tbe second aspect is tbe con- tact with the putative father, bis acceptance of the situation and bis responsibility for financial as- sistance to the unpiarrîed mother. The third phase of the work concerns the future of the child. In some instances, it is the mother's decision to keep ber child and wberever possible, the Society makes every effort to assist ber with these arrangements. How- ever, in most cases the mother re- quests that the cbild be placed in care o! the-Saciety'. Neyer Spoil Another Man's, Work By Joseph Lister Rutlcdge From a letter ta the editar o! bbc Hamilton Spectatar we quote the striking phase that heads these words. The substance af the let- ber we can disregard, for Ibis is the nub -o! it. "Generally", says the writer, "'we follow the ten commandments, but there sbould be an- elevcnth commandment: neyer spoil another man's work to suit your own... Let us be build- crs and flot annexers". Here is a word that will stand repeating. It bas the inspiration o! courage and independence, the wili ta create rather than the will to appropriate. We bave bad many examples in the Past few Prpsident Walter S. Cross 0f Fitcbburg, Mass., wbo has been named President of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. Mr. Cross bas been active in Christian Science since 1905.' In the First World War he served as a Chaplain with the American Army, later serving at the Chris- tion Science War Relief Depot in France. He is a graduate of Yale University and alumnus of Phil- lips Academy in Andover, Mass. years of governments' taking over the longtime work of other men. We have been asked to believe that this is a forward step, bene- ficial to the people as awhole. Sometimes we have accepted this judgment, because it is sugar- coated with some supposed pers- onal advantage. But in it are the seeds of discouragement, the loss of initiative and daring and, in the end, the death of progress. Let us flot talk in terms of big business, because that is too easily confused with arguments about wages and work-hours and profits and benefits. Let us talk rather of the small man in whose heart enterprise bas its own beginnings; the shopkeeper with his two or three clerks, the plumber, the garageman, the farmer and the tbousand and one small undertak- ings where the ambition and in- dustry and foresight and the un- stinted effort of one man have created an opportunity for two or three others who together serve a community faithfully. This is free enterprise, the term that we like to confuse wth great plants and huge payrolls and vast resour- ces. It is the unrestricted work of thousands of individual men, men with ideas and- energy and the will to do a good job even if it is only a matter of fixing a leaky tap or encouraging a reluctant furnace, or making two blades of grass grow where only one grew before. Try to find something wrong with that, if you can, but that is free enterprise and most of the world's progress has sprung from this enterprise o! ,seemingly unimportant men. Can we believe that the bureaus of an impersonal government can achieve the same glow of accomp- lishment or by taking from the one bis opportunity, provide bene- f its for ail? When you spoil an- other man's work, when you be- corne annexers rather than build- ers, then somethinjz bright and courageous and forward-looking goes out of our world. A sense of injustice replaces the thrill of ad- venture and the wiIl to lean over- takes the will to achieve. Who takes from any individual bis right to climb by his own effort to some modest affluence and to be secure in its enjoyment kilis the living spark that is the dignity of free men.

Tal- ton (since deceased) Mrs. Mils said: "We must learn ta do what we should whctbcr we want ta or not and the best boy and bbc best brains shouid be kept on the farm. A mator car cannat think and a machine cannot vote. The farm supplies the hi! e o! the na- tion." Mrs. J. Cooper, Provincial Con- vener o! Cjtizcnship and Educa- tion, speaking o! ber home town o! Fort William, thankcd God for the advent a! the W. I. there wherc there bad been M~any groups op- posing each other. There were now Protestant, Catholie, black and wbite meeting on friendly ground, working together. Good citizenship is the application o! the Golden Rule and wben that rule is practised we shahl have cancern for ahl people. Scboiar- ships should be given 10 a wortby cbild, not neccsarily the smartcst. We must not forget unfortunate childrcn at home or abroad. Mrs. J. R. Futcher, pinch-bitting for Mrs. Hugh Summers, lst Vice- Pres. of the F.W.I.C. spoke on the F.W.I.O., the F.W.I.C. and the As- sociated County Womcn o! the World, which now numbcrs five and a bal! million~ women. Mrs. Raymond Sayre, President o! the A.C.W.W. then brought her not soon 10 be forgotten words a! greeting, humour, wisdom and every-day down ta earth farm home experiences. Mrs. Sayre told o! ber experience as a bride in a farm bouse. She feit that there was no reas- on wby a farm kitchen could not be as beautiful as city or town homes but when she bad donc ber bcst according 10 magazine pic- tures and feit father proud o! ber efforts, wintcr came alonLy and witb il men's bcavy winter coats, boots, etc., 10 be draped around the kitchen stove, the woodbox, the separator, and then in succes- sion chiled lutIle pigs, lambs, and a slaugbtered bog to be carvcd on the kitchen table. Finally an aunt told the young !arm bride that it could flot be any other way on the farm. Those were chai- lenging words and a most inspir- ing story followed ber efforts to bring ta many !arm women, the bouse and home o! most any wo- man's dream and she went on to say that women can and must build the world the way they want it. Free people must work ta make al people free, whcre people are free ta luse their God-given rights thcy must use those rigbts and accept personal responsibility for the good o! ail wbich means to discipline -elf, be informed, eval- uatc facts and use our own coin- mon sense. Do things weli whicl-i are worth doing. A good borne- maker does ber work well, both in the home and in the commun- ity. You cannot separate spiritual and material values. Mrs. J. E. Houck F.W.I.C., Con- vener o! Citizensbip said that we must leave our children somc- thing better than money. We must practise daily the Bill oS Human Rights. The greatest pow- er in tbc world is the Spirit o, God in the human beart, nat the atomic power. Much more could be reporteci from Mrs. Milîs' splendid report. In thanking the members for mak- ing il passible for ber to attend the conference as a delegabe Mrs. Milîs expressed again ber wish 1 c 1JL NETER AND PUNPING SERVICE This added protection gives you an accurate check of the exact a- mount of oil being.pump- cd into your storage tanks.

Ag- riculture and Canadian Industries, was in charge of the programme. Mrs. George Brown read tbree short pocms to illustrate the June motta: "It is flot the individual, nor the army as a .vhole, but the everlasting team-work o! evcry> bloomine soul". Mrs. L. C. Snowden spoke on the importance o! co-operation with farm organizations. Mrs. Snowden wcnt back to tbe lncep- tion o! the W. I. over fifty ycars ago. At that tinme farmers had an Institute 10 educate them to ways o! better care o! livestock and crops. The founder of the W. I. realizing their personal tragedy, the need for tbe same type o! edu- cation for the care o! cbildren and homes asked for and received the assistance o! the farmers' group in organîzing the W. I. The Farmers' Institute feli by the wayside. Assistance was lat- er given farmers througb the ser- vices o! District Agricultural Rep- resentatives but it took the de- pression o! the 30's when all that the farmers from coast to coast bad in common was back-breaking mortgages to brinLr them together in co-operation to compete with other organized groups in protcct- ing their economic position. In 1935 75 farmers organized bat bas become a national feder- atcd group o! farm organizations working for the well being o! farm families whicb in turn makes for the well being o! ail groups. The Women's Institute is also a mem- berý o! this group and as in the W. I. Federabion with its bead the A.C.W.W. The farm organization is today an. international group. At the conference o! Agricultural Producers beld recently in Swe- den, co-operation was the key- word. Since it is recognized today that women have a decided influence in world affairs bence the import- ance o! the co-operation o! ahl groups working for a common goal. Mrs. Milîs read an article "Good- by ta Fresh Eggs" wbich showed very clearly what bappens when it is compulsory that eggs go through a gradinLg station. The resuit is bigber priced and poorer quality eggs to the consumer and fewer eggs consumed. Mrs. T. McGurk read a most humorous poem "The Day Has Just Begun" wbicb depicted the farm woman's activities before bier day began. Misses Jean White and Greta Snowden favoured witb two vocal solos which were greatly enjoyed. The roll call, "A Farm Impie- ment" brougbt forth a complete setup o! both ancient and modemn farm implements. Mrs. Lamb and ber group serv- ed refreshments to 31 in attend- ance.
