At that time we were at a low in «staff personnel, however, he was table to attract to our Society a sumber of capable social workers. sHe quickly appraised our situation fand commenced a complete re- organization and established a new system of operation.

"The adequate staffing of the Haileybury office, which had been left unstaffed for nearly one. year, brought results in that, through the family service -work done. during the -year, several children were prevented from coming in care of the Society," Mr. Charbonneau stated in the annual report.
