These are the search-|] ing questions that Mr. Eric LI. "Smit, executive secretary of the child welfare division of the Cana- dian Welfare Council, asked when 'he appealled for more preventive "action in speaking to the 25th an- nual meeting of the Children's Aid | Society for Temiskaming ~ last week. fr. Smit in his talk was urgent 'in his appeal for- recognition that case work, for the most part is "not prevention but treatment and cure. The role of the CAS worker |; has become that of treating and curing because there is not enough preventive work done. He point- ed out that this practical angle 'must be considered "'because you téantt force people to be good par- 'ents and' case work is better than 'any method yet devised." * The cost of undertaking to bring up underprivileged children to fit 'into our society and produce re- 'sponsible " citizens is substantial both in' manpower and in mone- tary values, as it is in the raising 'and educating of any child, but he stressed that it is not as. great as 'commonly conceived by the gen- eral public. ,,Warious kinds of services are weeded in-.an industrial commun- ity, among them welfare services jsuch as the CAS offers. These are expensive, says Mr. Smit, but they an only be considered "operating costs of our society."' frs. Margaret Telfer, acting lo- eal director for the Temiskaming Children's Aid Society spoke in another appeal for better provi- sions for CAS wards, who are re-| Jeased from CAS responsibility at} 413. * Mrs. Telfer welcomed the foster parents who were present at the yneeting 'and commended all the foster parents of the Temiskaming Gistrict for their wonderful work, enough of them. She also drew at- tention to the fact that this area is! more dependent upon the -wel- fare than another part of Ontario, but this is due to economic rea- sons rather than social reasons. Foday recession has effected Worthern Ontario more than an- other region, because of our de- pendence upon basic economic el- ements such as mining and lum- bering. A great effort must be expended by organized teams in this district if we are to meet all of our. ob- ligatiens, and the CAS family ser- vice must be extensive and put eonsiderable demands on Com- munity Chest and other. annual fund-raising efforts.

Staff. Mrs. Telfer seconded the re- marks of board president William Pape of New Liskeard, who noted [ progress in the society's work with 1 the decrease of children in care from 242 in 1957 to 218 last year. In 1957, 36 children were returned to their parents, compared with 43 last year. Assistance to children in their ewn homes decreased in the two vears from 299 families (899 child- ren) in 1957 to 220 families (720 ehildren) last year. Brief contact assistance increased from 68 cas- es to 89 last year, but unmarried parents helped were down to 26 from 37 the previous year. The CAS is-also charged with helping the -government in family allowance investigations and in divorce investigations, items for which Mrs. Telfer said the fees paid do not quite cover the work that is required of the society's Staff.
