It contained a story of a family who had ‘adopted‘ a child through Foster Parents‘ Plan, and the address of the organizâ€" ation. It was enough to spur them into action.

A Story In A Magazine Spurs Weston Couple To Adopt A Son Mr. and Mrs. Syd. Stittle, of ® John Best Ave., have a new ‘addition‘ to their family. He has been ‘adopted‘ by the Stittle family through the Foster Parents‘ Plan, a nonâ€"profit, nonâ€" propaganda, nonâ€"sectarion, govâ€" ernment approved relief organizâ€" ation which provides children who are orphaned, distressed, or otherwise made destitute with the care, education and moral support they need. The Stittle family have been thinking of doing this for a long time, but as Mr. Stittle put it, "We kept thinking about it from time to time, but never sort of got around to actually doing something about it â€" we needed something to prompt us I guess". It was neatly written in Chinâ€" ese characters, and translated by officials of Foster Parents‘ into English. He thanked his new ‘parents‘ for their gifts of $16. monthly, of which he receives $8 in cash, and the rest in periodic parcels of food, clothing and special medical care. "We dont know him too well yet", said Mr. Stittle "as it takes some time for letters to reach us, and our letters cross in the ETOBICOKE‘S SECRECY He doesn‘t live with them,| look like them, or talk like them, | but for one year at least, he is~ one of the family. | His name is Chung Wai Fan, he is eight years old, and lives in a wooden hut in a squatters colony on a hillside in Hong Kong. * These people have spent one or two years each in the study of the care of emotionally disturbed children, of which the Province has more than its share. They have spent the same amount of time learning their necessary and involved occupation as has a public school teacher. They have the same educational requirements as have teachers in provincial schools and will be hired by schools for emotionally disturbed children from Nova Scotia to Vancouver. These Child Care Workers are becoming some of the most important people in the important work of the care of children. They have no union to support them or to fight for proper crediting of a School graduate. The only comment they will make when asked why they are not accorded the privileges of their schooling is "The day is coming when we will be given the status of snecial teachers." THISTLETOWN â€" Next Friday, more than a score of dedicated people will graduate from the Child Care Work course, held in connection with the Thistletown Hospital for the care of emotionally disturbed children. They cannot be guaranteed the annual increases a public school teacher gets. They will work year around, without the summer holidays. They will have to buy uniforms, if required, and will have problems with their charges a public school teacher would never dream of. Not one of them will be able to be recognized as an | official Child Care Worker in Ontario. | The graduates will have to go to work as merely members of the staff of a hospital, like an intern or nursing assistant. They will be paid a starting salary of about $3,600 to $3,800 in Ontario, which may seem to be about equal with that of a public school teacher but isn‘t.

"I certainly didn‘t think that they would use it so soon" said Mrs. Stittle, "I thought that they were talking about some time in the future, and it didn‘t occur to us that it would be local pubâ€" licity." Mr. Stittle sums up the famâ€" ily‘s feelings on the subject with a few words.

The Downsview Branch of the North York Public Library, 2793 Keele Street, is featuring a disâ€" play of Indian craft which has captivated both adults and childâ€" ren. The items on display, inâ€" cluding a Sioux war club, legâ€" gings arrows, a chief‘s headâ€" dress and ceremonial shield, were created by Cornelius Mcâ€" Carthy, a Downsview boy who is a Grade 9 student at St. Michael‘s College. Children‘s art from Munich’ Germany, may also be seen in‘ the library. This work was origâ€" inally in the International Youth Library in Manich. Through a project undertaken by the Etobiâ€" coke Public Library and Board of Education, children‘s art from Etobicoke schools was collected and displayed in the Internationâ€" al Youth Library while the Munâ€" ich display was shown in the( Etobicoke Public Library. In this unusual international exchange â€" students from both countries gathered some interâ€" esting â€" information _ and â€" were drawn into a closer relationship with one another. Cornelius first became interâ€" ested in Indian lore several years ago when he "got tired of the Indians always being the bad guys in movies and on T.V." He chose the Sioux tribe, who were Plains Indians, because he felt their culture was so advanced. Mr. B.

This trend meets with the library‘s approval for two reasâ€" ons. ‘‘We must buy a specified amount of nonâ€"fiction each year in order to quality for the Govâ€" ernment grant", said Mrs. Mcâ€" Dougall, "and of course the nonâ€" fiction book doesn‘t date so easiâ€" ly as certain types of fiction. A fiction story may enjoy great popularity for a while, and then it loses its appeal, and stays on the shelves, while the nonâ€"fiction With a total adult cireulation for 1961 of 62,658, and a total childrens‘ circulation of 39.637 for the same year, Weston has a high circulation for a town of its size, and the library caters for this demand by having one of the highest books per capita averages in Metro ‘Toronto. The library has two full time staff members, including Mrs. McDougall, two partâ€"time library assistants, Mrs. Kay Hodges, and Mrs. Amie McGregor, and five high ‘school girls who assist during evenings and weekends. Adult reading tastes h ave swung away from fiction to nonâ€" fiction in recent years, accordâ€" ing to Mrs. McDougall, and as a result .a greater part of the librâ€" ary budget is spent on nonâ€" fiction works.

Councillor Robert Wood, chairman of the Works Commitâ€" tee is particularly incensed over the lack of coâ€"operation shown by Etobicoke, especially in view of the fact that it was Weston who was first to express concern over this inadequate link between the two municipal: ities. Nothing further was heard from Etobicoke until Weston reâ€" ceived notification from them that the bridge would be closed to traffic for three days. They approached Etobicoke some time ago and suggested that representatives of both Councils meet to discuss a joint solution â€" of improving the Bridge. "If they had informed us of their intentions, we could have had the contractor do the Wesâ€" ton end of the bridge and its approach at the same time, thereby obtaining a better price for them and us," claimed Councillor Wood.

One of the biggest problems facing planners of such an amâ€" bitious project is the limit acâ€" cess and egress from Weston, over the Humber River for heavy traffic such as would be created by the establishing of a terminal in Weston. This plan as envisioned by Councillor Wood would include a Greyhound Bus Service, and a local bus terminus which would serve the buses from Malton, North York, and Rexdale. It would also include a terminal for traffic from Highways 400 and 401, and a combined CP Râ€" CNR junction and station in Weston, making it the only way station in Metro for both railâ€" way companies. The Humber is bridged at three points in the Weston area; at Lawrence Avenue, St. Phillips Road, and the Highway 401. St. Phillips Road Bridge can be discounted as an efficient route to and from Weston owing to its oneâ€"lane width, and light loadâ€"carrying capacity, while the 401 is a byâ€"pass, Councillor Wood‘s suggestion for establishing the large rail and bus terminus in Weston, which was placed before Counâ€" we can expect from Etobicoke in the future when improved bridge facilities over the Humâ€" ber is contemplated." The ‘contemplated facilities‘ referred to by Councillor Wood was a reference to the plan placed before Weston Council by him a few weeks ago, and currently being considered by the Metro Planning Board, for establishing a large rail and bus terminus in Weston.
