- "It is my submission that by
taking the hard 'cases, the
complex cases, the ones for

not provide a solution out of •

said Mr. Heath, "it-need not

Mr. Heath outlined some of
the problems facing the local
society, explaining that the 1970
budget had 'Called for $133,000
to be spent on direct costs of
services for children in care.
Of the 208 children in care during
the , year, seven children
accounted for approximately
$50,000 of child care costs.
"These were seven of our
children who by reason of the
degree of their emotional dis-
turbance had to be placed to
outside treatment centres," Mr.
Heath explained.
He said „the .local CAS was

Managerial Effectivenesb of-
Children's Aid Socieities • , in
Ontario.
"Hopefully, 1971 will, 4e-the
beginning of a clearer'definition
of the scope of services, the
establishment of perfornianne
standards, the 'improvement of
communication between • the
Department of Family and
Social Services and Children's
Aid Societies and the co-ordin-
ation, of matters common to all
societies," reported Mr.ileath.
4 -Hopefully, however,"" he
continued "the recent creation,
of the Minister's Advisory Board
on Child Welfare will. not re-
present a token interim moye to
be followed by direct provincial
control. What might be at, stake
here is the whole field-of Child
Welfare , in ,Ontario, in a costly
centraliied ,government bureau-
cracy - with a cure -worse than
the original illness."
