From the left ore. Junior Farmer rep Al Renning, Pat Hodgert who won the afghan and the donor Noella Triebner. Foster mother tells about raising kids. ay MARY CHESSELL Roberta "Bert" Kloss spoke on her work with young people, mostly teenagers, in her home near Brucefield at the October meeting of Varna United Church Women. She and her husband Dick have seven youngsters and their daughter, Dana, living with them at present in their renovated schoolhouse. It is now a specialized group home. This is Family and Children's Ser- vices 75th anniversary: At present there are 50 foster homes in the coun- ty, not enough for the increasing number of children needing care. A social worker visits them monthly. Discipline consists of seeing that bad behaviour does not achieve its goal; foster parents are not allowed to slap a child. The rules are carefully explained to new residents, and after one week's grace they are penalized 50e of their allowance for undone chores,. etc. Each child has a bank account and can save for things he wants. The Kloss's have supportive neighbours who employ the girls for baby sitting and the boys for farm work.
