We may assume that :.&l and reeves will: conâ€" tinug ; to ° press â€" the provincial ‘The Association. of Children‘s W of Ontario also subâ€" id ‘aâ€" brief to the provincial government in 1948, the substance of which was:â€" (1) That . the provincialâ€"municiâ€" lll"mal should not be interâ€" ferred with by the Children‘s Aid w,‘w insofar as their them ‘from uu"""uf" ’od $ swallowed up into ‘m provincial department of government, as was the case in Alberta. ~We. believe that this could eventually happen if the provineial government were influâ€" enced to assume the lion‘s share of these ward costs. Therefore we suggested that 40â€"60 per cent sharing..could ‘be the provincial Saftaiie would snve o o ion would ltriv‘d:q p then: tn’ being swallowe into ‘a provincial departme: government, as was the ca Alberta. ~We. believe that could eventually happen ii (2) ‘That the preventive services of the societies, which the municiâ€" palities are ‘not statutorily obliâ€" and municipal division, in that % to finance, have been ly increasing in volume, in usefulness and therefore in cost. This effort to preserve homes by patient, skilful work is financed in two ways in this province. In some municipalities â€" the â€" Community Chest or the society‘s own private gollection secures the funds from the citizens, who see that this longâ€"term community investment is not only economically profitable but that to raise and preserve the borderâ€"line family is basic social service. In other communities the municipal councils make a volunâ€" tary grant for this work and yet other societies receive part of the funds from the municipal councils and part from private collecfiqn._ (3) That we felt the time has came. for the province to make some substantial financial recogâ€" n#ion here as these, preventive services formed the underpinning off our child welfare program. We sgidâ€"in particular that we did not nk it fair to those citizens who r&ised all the funds by private cdllection that they should have to fipance this expanding and basic social . service unaided by the mv.ineial government. The‘ whole ial and economic health of the provincebenefits by it, but for some years the provincial governâ€" nfent ;has made only a nominal grant to the societies, ranging from $500 to $2000, according to itg grading of the particular society. * 3 In presenting the brief we had in mind, those societies whose preventive services are financed by grants from their municipal councils. While the majority of the societies agree that nothing can so enlist the interest and conâ€" cern of the peopel of any comâ€" munity as their own voluntary private investment in their society, nevertheless some municipal counâ€" cils have offered to do this financing. In such municipalities tax payers must be keenly alive to the necesâ€" sity for impressing on their rural and urban councils that Children‘s Aid must not be stinted, but that sinte the people do not raise the funds themselves by private colâ€" lection, they, as taxpayers are prepared to receive a levy adequate to finance a good preventive program. I hope you follow the principle expressed here, because we are by nature reluctant taxpayers and it is very possible for the child to be lost sight of among other pressing municipal requirements. | W ard costs must be paid, under statute, at a per diem rate approved by the local court, but this all important preventive program depends enâ€" tirely on a sense of responsibility on the part of citizensâ€"if not through their Community Chest or other campaigns, then as taxâ€" payers! T8 _ Some. municipalities now finanâ€" cing this program have said that if the province took some of the very much heavier ward costs off their should@rs they would be preâ€" pared to increase their voluntary grants for prevention,© If that eventuality takes place these parâ€" ticular municipal taxpayers must see to it that they do! Thus you see that this Children‘s Aid program is never static. It has come a long way, always adâ€" vanced and strengthened by men and women who grasped the naed for ir::;;uvement and change and successfully interpreted it to their fellow citizens. You can understand how much interpretation as well as driving force was needed to convince comâ€" munities to liquidate their investâ€" ment in old time orphanages and give the average child, deprived of his own home, a new type of subâ€" stitute, foster home. We accept this today without much thought, but it took a powerful lot of per« suasion and infinite resource and ‘The next step is a refinement of both these methods of child care.

This is a role which calls not only for a very: highly developed sense of citizenship, but for the acquisition of amateur competence in a specialized ‘field of knowledge. If you can transâ€" late for your fellow citizens social work practice and principles you bridge the gap between the proâ€" fessionals at work‘ and the comâ€" munity. This is your job. It is the closing of this gap that allows community sanction to come to the Children‘s Aid Society and it is upon community sanction that an adequate program for the child in need ultimately depends, _ Perhaps, on the other hand, you are a citizen who up to now has taken little interest in and made little or no contribution to. your local society. There are many ways in which you could begin to do so.

Unfortunately, the total of 720 working hours spent annually at the sink preparing foods and washâ€" ing dishes has been made more tiresome and difficult through the use of inadequate or improper facilities, a recent survey revealed. The total time spent in the kitâ€" chen each year by the ~average Canadian housewife amounts to more than 30 full days. In a country like Canada which can â€"boast of the highest standard of living in the world, there is no reason why the average housewife‘s chores should not be lightened by the latest and best of equipment, states the Canadianâ€" Institute of Plumbing and Heating in announcâ€" ing the results of the survey. To most housewives the kitchen | is the busiest and most important | room in the entire house and everyâ€" | thing should be done to make it as ! comfortable and efficient as posâ€" | sible. Much satisfaction can come ; to the busiest wife through having | as her working companion an efficient, modern and beautifullyâ€" clean sink arrangement. Since the average housewife spends so muchi of her waking hours at the kitchen | sink, it is only natural that she should have the greatest say in ‘determining the type to be inâ€" stalled. | Industry Makes Plans To Give CGanadian Housewife A "Break" On the market today are a wide variety of installations to suit her varied needs and tastes.

Other models include a 42â€"inch type with one drainboard either on the right or left side. Among other conveniences availâ€" able to the busy housewife is the combination stopper and strainer which closes the basin at the outâ€" let and turns it into a dishâ€"washing compartment. The strainer is of the cup or basket type which is éeasily removed, flushed out and then replaced. Sinks today, the Institute adâ€" vises, should be installed so that the top of the rim is 36 inches from the floor which if the most convenient height for the average woman. 2 In installing the modern sink and other facilities which go with it, much thought should be given also to the tap or faucet arrangements. Will the housewife require the conâ€" ventional twoâ€"tap setâ€"up or a comâ€" bination single faucet? Should the taps have smooth, shiny ends or be threaded to take the fillâ€"orâ€"drain hose from the washing machine or the gardenâ€"hose screw attachment? If the little lady of the kitchen is consulted before the equipment is installed she can anticipate necessary. demands and requireâ€" ments and offer advice accordingly.

Superfluous Energy R A.a result of rheumatic diseases _ Every normal boy must find some outlet for his superabundance of animal energy. Like the healthy puppy, he controls it. The Gang Problem Most boys naturally play in gangs. The gang instinct is inâ€" herent in almost every boy, and can be a force for either good or evil in a boy‘s life. The properly led gang is an asset both to the community and to the boy. It teaches him to give and take, to do his share of the work, to build up loyalty as a part of his charâ€" acter. Scouting is a supervised and directed gang with a purpose and -Ana.'itruulo with his fellows. Scouting provides the outlet, and plan. It uses the gang spirit to build up those qualities so essential to good citizenship. Safe Outside Advice Through a curous but wellâ€" known weakness of human nature, the average boy, by preference, is going to take advice and many examples of habit, speech and principle, from older boys and men outside his own family. Most men can recall how as boys they reâ€" sponded to the notice of older lads; or of some man other than their father, and accepted them as iauthorities and examples. Scouting meets this with the safe advice of \the Scoutmasterâ€"the sympathetic elder brother. All these ends Scouting realizes, not through a code of den‘ts or a code of regulations applied from without, but by working from withinâ€"by providing natural, atâ€" tractive, but. directed channels of activity for the boy‘s own impulses, in the following of which his charâ€" acter is shaped towards its best possibilities in efficient manhood and citizenship. & The Scout Law Is Practical The practical aspect of Scouting will be seen in its Law. Of its ten sections, the one most evidently practical is most frequently emâ€" phasized. This is the "Good Turn to Someone Every Day." The other laws in this Code of Honour require the Scout to be trustworthy, loyal, friendly, courteous, kind to aniâ€" mals, <bedient, cheerful, thrifty, and clean in thought, wordâ€" and Public Service _ The normal boy is keenly willing to do public service where it is directed, and recognized. Scouting brings the opportunity and recogâ€" nition. How It Is Done May Discover A Boy‘s Life Work In many cases Scouting discovers to the boy his life‘s vocation. When a Second Class Scout he may begin working for the first six of a longt series of proficiency badges. As he goes on with his study he acquires an elementary but pracâ€" tical knowledge of such subjects as In Technicolor and Under, 30¢ CHILDREN 15¢ Arthritis Society To Have Branches As a result of rheumatic diseases including arthritis, each year Canaâ€" dians 10se9,500,000 days from work, and 54,000,000 dollars in wages.

Arthritis affects people of all ages. Rheumaâ€" toid arthritis, one of its most evil and insidious forms, commonly afâ€" fects young adults, _ Postâ€"graduate training for doctâ€" ors will be made available at the most upâ€"toâ€"date centres, both here and abroad. Measures directed at the prevention of crippling deformâ€" ities need not wait the outcome of further years of research. With early diagnosis and the application of known effective treatments, medical science can already do much to ‘prevent pain and serious deformity. Promotion of a wider apâ€" plication of this knowledge will be undertaken by the Society. A first step in developing the Soâ€" ciety‘s nationâ€"wide organization was taken three months ago, with the establishment bf its National Office in Ottawa. Side by side with the expansion of its organization, plans are being laid for a coâ€"ordinâ€" ated attack on arthritis and rheumatism.
