What. another week for stIli anot her cause? What do we have to do, shel out again? No. This is not a tag day and you aren't asked to put out any- thing. The Children's Aid Society merely asks you to give thought, to become more aware, of the un. met needs of thousands of chiid. ren in Ontario. -Some of these needs can neyer be met. For example, if a child loses his parents through no fault of his own, because they cannot look after him, can this heart- break ever be fully, repaired? We can only try. The C.A.S. asks you to think about thîs. There, are many needs which ean be met and are being met every day by the .A.S., in *what isýsometimes an uphili struggle, MVany families are being counseli- ed in their homes, so that the .majority of chiidren seen by the C.A.S.- about 84% - neyer have, to leave home at ail. .The iieeds'of infants, and oider children too, for adoptive parents, is being met at a steadily increas- ing rate. The need of the unmarried mother for a place to turn and protection for her child is being met by th~e C.A.S. CHILDREN'S AID ýWEEK is simply a reminder that we are our brother's keeper.
