In this series Miss Henderson, in a comprehensive manner, tells of the grobleml and difficulties overcome y Children‘s Aid Societies. If you are a "perfectionist" don‘t read this. I bought twelve petunia plants this spring for my garden. I am sure I gave them equal care. Nine grew and thrived and blossomed and looked pretty and gave me_no trouble. One wilted and died. One was a miserable little runt and was offensive to my sight. I cultivated it more assiduously than all the rest and it repaid my effortsâ€"a little. It afioned a few blossoms all throu%h the season a trifie apoloâ€" getically. Sometimes I thought I might as well pull it up. But I didn‘t. It was my little ewe lamb. A third sturdy and promising plant was broken by a little boy whom I tell every day to pla% ball at his end of the street. This is, adâ€" mittedly, very poor case work, but as he takes not the slightest interâ€" est in the suggestion, neighbourâ€" hood relations have not been impaired. ; However, I have sometimes wondered whether I shouldn‘t fight this thing. I thought I might go back to the man on the market and demand two new ones to replace the ewe lamb and his departed brother, But I knew what he would say: ‘"You see, you can‘t tellâ€" might have been a bug. They‘re everyWhere and you can‘t watch ‘em all. And one of its grandâ€" mothers was a weedy little thingâ€" had a lot of trouble with her, though the other three was iood stock. You heard of this here Mendelian _ law, _ haven‘t you? There‘s packets of badness gummed up tight and sometimes they‘pass right through a generation before they make trouble." He‘s a strong character, the market man. I gave up the idea quite early. _ ___ I also played with the idea of making the father of the little boy buy me a new petunia to replace the broken one. But he‘s one of those obstinate, argumentative felâ€" lows. I knew what he would say, too! _ ‘"There isn‘t mf law against children under six P aying on the street, is there? D‘ you think I‘d be cooped I:F in this threeâ€"roomed apartment if I could get a house and a back lot! If it hadn‘t been for my motherâ€"inâ€"law I‘d have never {een hereâ€"let me tell you about that one. . . ." _ â€" And I knew I was beaten before I started. So in a sense I just divided uT the cost of the twelve petunia plants among nine, if you understand what I mean. . Sponsorship of the St. John Cadets is part of an extensive program carried on across Canada by the St. John Ambulance for the welfare of the nation.

Weston teenagers are‘ grateful to the Robert _ Simpson . Co., who so kindly donated the services of the orchestra. The dance was financed from the Hallowe‘en fund raised by voluntary contributions f t o m Weston citizens, and was orgamzeo and run by the Aewy Club of the YWCA. 'F\:‘ pmgnm committee, chaired by Miss Elizabeth Moffat, did a fine job of arranging novelty dances, costume judging and ‘rlul. The decorations committee, chaired by Miss Joan Schuler did an equally fine job, and the gym was gally decorated in the true Hallowe‘en tradition. The overâ€"all dance comâ€" mittee was ablyv chaired by Miss Ruth McArthur, and the publicity was in the hands of Miss Mary Lou Caskey. All in all, it would seem that the dance was most successful, and the Acwy Club will no doubt be in favour of more dances in the future. interested in Children‘s Aid began to question the removal of children from their own homes. They looked at it in two or three ways. The first mention here being in their opinion by far the most important. 1. Nothing can wholly comâ€" pensate a chifd for his own Â¥wme. 2. You are not justified in placing a child in public care at the cost of the taxpayer just because it is the easiest way of dealing with the situation. It was no coincidence that this effort to save the home for the child first developed as the science of human relations began to be expertly explored and the status of those informing themselves <asâ€" sumed a professional basis. As men and women â€" seriously _ studied human behavior and the outward and inward thinss that affect it, they befi)an to understand that it is susceptible of change and adjustâ€" ment. Informed and experienced social workersâ€"and there were very fewâ€"learned, not so much from books as from contacts, that &A great many people could be helied to help themselves! Ttg's is nothing new to a wise and patient mother who learns that, with inâ€" genuity and skill theré is a more successful _ method _ of _ curing. Johnny of biting his nails or making a puddle on the floor than by banging him on the ear. There is no suréâ€"fire formula for the preventive work which is keepâ€" ing children in their homes and off the taxâ€"role instead of mlkins them wards of the Children‘s Ai Society. No more than there is an undisputed treatment for pneuâ€" monia, for instance. One dec?!e you have cold compresses, the next they‘re‘ hot; then sulpha drugs emerge and then penicillin seems best. But the important thing is that honest and skilled men and womenâ€"not nearly enough of them, but they are increasing as we turn them out of our social work schoolsâ€"are doing the best they know how to strengthen weak family life and make it work sufâ€" ficiently well so that many children in gour community can be watched and protected by the Children‘s Aid Society without being taken away from their own homes. And this is because many fathers and mothers have come to regard some social worker as a friend who has underâ€" stood how to deal with them and what was making them lose hope and courage and decency. You would be amazed how many people want to do better! So you see, something is being done to cut down the number of children who must be taken into care by the Children‘s Aid Society if they are to have a chance in life.
