The time is eight o'clock. The pot-post. of the meeting is to form a club in thie district. 0 - 0 - 0 Chins are generally graded into about six different eateeetreee ci rim la ted, tee renney fiat. very fine, fine. very good and good. Anything less than fine is usually not deeired by most colleetors tilt lees: It Is a. rare date. Mote coins I tOdlitil - lb r • dated 111 36 or earlier that are in circulation today are not likely to grade better than very good, so when a colleetor finds one fine or better, he considers himself lucky. A George V coin in fine condition has the band on the crown com- plete. If it is worn through the coin cannot he graded as'fine. Most col- lectors are satisfied with a collec- tion in fine or better condition, which can be assembled at a rea- ionah`o cost, hut there are many eolleetors who like to get coins in tiepin..elated condition erd this can very expensive, partiettlerly ..vith the varier issues.

Elliott ' Two Children's Aid Society case, histories: A boy adopted from a broken home when about 13 and now grown up is in business for him- self; married, with a family, and is a credit in every way to his com- munity, A little girl,' privately placed in this county and .cared for eventu- ally by Children's Aid Society fos- ter-parents but not adopted, was helped to a Nursing Aissistants' Course after a couple of years in high school. She is happily' mar- ried now and has a family, and is a valued nurse in a hospital when- ever she is available. These—one a ward case, the other not—are typical .examples of the rewarding work of. The Children's Aid Society of Huron County through the years. The organization will reach its 50th anniversary on December 11; its first regular meet- ing was held in the court house in Goderich on that date in 1911, Tender successive superintendents and board members, the Society has kept pace, with and sometimes led in the gradual development of im- proved techniques, In recent years there has been a province-wide change in the work, more emphasis being placed upon protection work with a family before a Child be- comes neglected, in order if poe- sible to keep the family together and avoid removal of the child from its normal environment hi the traditional unit. This type_ of work demands trained and .experienced workers. It is significant that local direc- tors of the province, meeting re- cently at Sundridge, adopted cer- tain principles including the, fol lowing: "We believe that services to child- ren in care should not be separated from services to families and children in their own homes. "We believe that effective ser- vices to families and children must involve more adequate financing and staffing than we. have at the present time, "We recognize that for a truly effective child welfare service in Ontario We relief have much Closer co-ordination of case work and supporting services, to children and families, with income maintenance (public assistance, mothers' allow- ances, disability pensions, etc.) services that at present exist." The Huron Society's record through the years is described at Queen's Park as "exceptional", "The Children's Aid Society of Huron County is a name that al- ways brings pleasant associa- tions," writes Mr. James S. Band, deputy minister of Public Welfare, on this anniversary oc— casion. "I have watched the ex- ceptionally good work of that So- clety through at least a decade and I know it has been a kindly guard- ian of children's interests for 30 years. At the present time the ef- ficiency of thild care operations in Huron is reflected statistically, For there are fewer children taken Into wardship per thousand of popula- tion then in three-quarters of the other 55 Societies. The Huron So- ciety has perferred to concentrate its efforts oat protection services so that boys and ghee, Wherever pos- sible, have both the benefit of re- maining at home and being, at the same time, secured prom parental neglect. "In ha 'first half-century the So- ciety }ins had exceptionally good hick in Obtaining the best staff embers and. directors, Many de voted persons hoe added their con- tribution to the record since the' appointment of the first county agent, George N. Elliott, in 1911. The administration of Mrs. Mary P. Chaffee as local director was a happy and progressive period in the life of the Society, So wholehearted was her interest that I believe she remembered the name and face of every child who came tinder her motherly supervision, The present officers of the Society are worthy successors of a notable tradition "The Hon, Louis P. Cecile, mini- ster of Public Welfare, joins me in congratulating The Children's Aid Society of Huron County on its 50th anniversary and in ex- tending every good wish for an equally successful future." Organized in 1911 • Some of the work now carried on by the Children's Aid was per• - formed earlier by James Mitchell and R. S. Williams of Goderich, under the supervision of J. J. Kelso, then provincial superintendent. In July, 1911, an organization meet- ing was held and Mr. Mitchell was elected first president of the branch. On December 4 Mr. Elliott was appointed county agent and served in that capacity until 1928, when he was succeeded by Harry Edwards, who continued until 1946. Mrs. Albert Taylor, long a mem- ber of the board and of its publicity committee, performed a valuable service in assembling particulars of the Society's early history. In this record, prepared for the So- ciety and County Council, she re- called that county grants in the first year amounted to $150. At that time, homeless children were sent to the orphanage at Berlin (now Kitchener) but in 1918 the county council purchased a build- ing on Cameron St., Goderich, for a county shelter. Under various matrons it was in use until 1940, when the children were placed in foster homes. "In the early days," Mrs. Taylor recalled, "the county council made various grants but the remainder of the money needed came from private contributions - - from the same persons, most of the time and was not sufficient for growing needs. By 1940 the work had in- creased tremendously, which made it impossible to depend upon volun- tary contributions to carry it on, and county council assumed the financing, "During the years there was little publicity given the work of the Society and few people showed any interest, mainly for that reason. "The Department urged the ap- pointment of a trained social work- er, and in 1940 Mrs, Chaffee be- came our social worker and assist. tent superintendent. When Mr. Ed- drards resigned she became super- intendent and Miss Clare McGowan (now acting local director) became social worker and assistant super- intendent." Mrs. Chaffee resigned in Febru- ary, 1960 end was Succeeded, as di. rector by Rev. Robert G. MaeMil- Ian. Her 20 years of service, was honored• by Children's Aid and County officials and other friends at a large gathering in the Knox Church auditorium in September. Mr. MacMillan resigned with effect August 31 of this year glee Miss McGowan is on us acting local Foster Home Oro When Mrs. Chaffee made her final report in 1900 she reviewed the events of recent years, In 1943. E lie recalled, the Huron Society's grading had been brought up. from "D" to the coveted "B". It had ob_ tained a social worker, closed its shelter to follow the method of foster home care, end was doing a more concentrated piece of work, becoming more socially and corn. munity conscious. "In 1949," she continued, "a new constitution was drawn up and the board enlarged, taking in members from all over the county. We had three clothing centres throughout the county; a superannuation plan was 'arranged by the county and salaries reconsidered, as well as the need of an additional worker, for now we had investigations and administration of family allowan- ces, as well as reports for the of. ficial guardian in all divorce cases where there were children. In 1954 the Juvenile and Family Court was formed with Magistrate Holmes being the judge. "The adoption pool was put into effect in 1954 by the department, Our Society had long been accept- ing and placing problem and handi- capped children from TorontO, and our success in this field encouraged the Toronto Society to 'work furth- er with us and later branch out to other societies. Act Ammended "When we moved to ' the new courthouse, probation was , an ac- complished. fact and we were re- lieved of our investigation reports which had taken time and plan- ning, The Child Welfare Act was amended to provide that all collec- tions under agreements relative to the Unmarried Parents section and the processing of adoptions, former ly done by the department, were transferred to local societies," "After Judge Holmes' death two years ago, Magistrate Glenn Hays became our new Juvenile Court Judge." Miss MeGowari said, in up- dating the Society's activities, "he has a keen insight and understand- ing of juveniles and patiently gives much time and consideration to our problems, His knowledge and wis- "'m'Ouarres poef ncihtlisvtamluaes. planning has steadily increased with the. years. We endeavour ,to help Santa see that no child in 'our county is missed at Christmas. 'We take our children on shopping tripe for special things. We help our older boys and girls get jobs for the summer or enrollment in special courses Or schools, We have had a, few invitations to appear on CKNX and we ado give adresses on Chil- dren's Aid work at meetings of wo- men's and men's organizations. "Judge Costello, of our county court for many years, was stleceed- ed by Judge P, Pinglancl. He grad. ously sees all our new adopting parents when the probationary period is completed. This gives them a greater significance Of the Adoption Order, which he signs, and is much appreciated."

When the hunter scores on big game the small bags pro- vide ideal and an immediate con- tainers for such delicacies as the heart and liver. Game birds, tee. when plucked and drawn can be conveniently carried in a polythene covering, The larger dry cleaners' bag is basically an emergency item, and important to survival since keeping dry is half the battle of keeping warm, Split open, a dry cleaners' bag will make a watertight roof for a lean-to, or as a blanket to keep dry in a cosy bed of spruce boughs, The polythene will •keep off rain, snow or frost. It will also double as a raincape, or if pulled over boots and tied at the top, serve as emergency waders,. The thin plastic weighs next to nothing and, if folded neatly, takes little space in a kit or pocket, Two ways to make Christmas safer are to dispose of all paper aid ribbons after presents have been opened and to fireproof the Christmas tree. One of the handi- est ways to fireproof a tree is to soak the butt in water; it prevents the tree from becoming tinder-dry.
