Children's Aid (Continued From Page One) also helps unmarried mothers plan intelligently for her child's care, so that he can become a useful and happy member of -so- ciety. The society is supervised by the Ontario department of welfare, and the cost of supporting wards of the society is largely provided by grants from municipalities and the provincial government. However, the important family service work, which is designed to keep children in their homes and hold families together, is financed through voluntary donations or grants obtained by direct cam- paigns, or through the Community Chest. This family service work which local people are being asked to support in the coming campaign, has resulted in some 100 children less being in the care of the society "than there were a few years ago. Family difficulties that can re- sult in broken homes or child ne- glect take a variety of forms. Quarrelling between husband and wife may be due to marriage strains that can be overcome through skilled counselling by a trained worker. Parents sometimes have behaviour problems with their children, especially during adoles- cence, and the facilities and advice of the society's workers are avail- able to parents who seek them. The burden of illness, either physical or mental, imposes a strain on the family unit. Case- work can assist the family to ad- just to the new situation. Economic difficulties can cause family breakdowns. Inadequate income, poor housing, can cause neglect in families where there is still a strong-bond of love between the members. Casework can as- sist the family in raising its levels, and train parents to improve their own abilities. The following is a typical case history from the society's files. Only the names have been chang- ed. It is this kind of work that you are asked to support when the canvasser calls at your door. In the beginning there were five Goodwins - John, the father, Maizie, the mother and Mary, Mike and Jim. John was a good mechanic, who loved Maizie very much when he married her, but he didn't know her very well. The children came quickly-perhaps too quickly for Maizie. She was never a good housekeeper and when her health broke she just couldn't face her increasing responsibilities. She neglected the children, the house, her husband. There were ' bitter quarrels. The children ran wild - Maizie sought refuge in drink. John couldn't understand what had happened to the girl he had loved. He did not know where to look for help, tried to keep things going himself but became irritable and: finally lost his job. _ Fed up he cleared out. With John gone Maizie's drink- ing became worse. Complaints came from the school about the children's apparent undernourish- ment and poor clothing. When the Social Worker called she found Maizie a very sick woman. The doctor was called and Maizie went to hospital. The children were placed in foster homes until their father could be found. When John turned up he was a very unhappy man, his self esteem was at a low ebb. He just felt he was no good. With the help of a caseworker he got his old job back and got a homemaker to care for his family until his wife was better. All this took a lot of time but re- sulted in a family, who might well have been separated for life, being kept together. When Maizie returns to her home the Social Worker will con- 'tinue to visit her. She may arrange for her to become acquainted with a member of A. A. She may. en- courage her to take a more active interest in her Church. John now knows where to go for help if the going gets tough. Taking 150,000 as the annual av- erage of immigrants coming to Canada, here is what such a move- ment means to the Canadian econ- omy; formation of 37,000 new households which will spend about $89,000,000 for new housing, fur- nishings and other goods and ser- vices. ee 3 Ae eo re ag a ee ne ee yw eh Doe ST ie The retirement from govern- ment service of Jack A.
