Fleming of Windsor passed away peacefully at the home of her sister in Mrs. Coutts Was Buried Thursday Funeral service was held last Thursday afternoon from the R. A. Currie and Sons fun- eral home for Mrs. Margaret Rose Coutts, Scott Street, who died in Wingham and District Hospital on Tuesday, May 19, after a long illness. Rev. W. D. Clark officiat- ed and pallbearers were Jim Murray, Harvey Aitchison, Harold Wild, Elwyn Chamney, Stan Campbell and Art Sturdy. Interment was in Wingham Cemetery.

Mrs. Coutts is survived by her two daughters, Mrs. George (Burdette) Stewart of London and Mrs. Carl (Margaret) Han- sen of Toronto; a son, Alex, Coutts of Wingham; two grand- children and two sisters, Mrs. A. (Edna) Dumas and Mrs. Gertrude McGough, both ofDe- troit, Michigan. She was predeceased by a daughter, Lillian. math of the Korean War, To feed, shelter, clothe and edu- cafe these homeless little ones it was necessary to plead for assistance for the orphans, PLAN has been glad to help in the far- reaching cause. The little ones properly cared for today are be- ing given a chance to he re- stored in spirit and health, to become fine Koreans of tomor- row. Kwang Ran was helped through PLAN in her orphanage by a former foster parent who is no longer able to help. The "adoption" by Mr. and Mrs. Groskorth assures this little girl of the continuance of the bene- fits she so sorely needs. Of equal importance to this child is the heartwarming knowledge that she "belongs" to someone that she can look to, trust and love, and that someone loves and cares expecially for her. Mr. and Mrs. Groskorth will receive monthly letters. Foster children often describe such things as how it feels to sudden- ly have shoes on their feet, a mattress to sleep on or the corn - fort of a full stomach. They al- ways report on their progress at school and letters from the fos- ter parents are treasured. "Adoption" through the Plan is financial, not legal. The Plan has no professional fund raisers. It is non-profit, non- sectarian, independent and is government approved. Full in- formation may be had by writ- ing to Foster Parents' Plan, P. O. Box 65, Station B, Montreal.
