In the age of Queen Victoria, children as young as three years were put to work as chimney sweeps or in un- derground tunnels. The reason children were put to work in the tunnels, was so they wouldn't have to dig them wide enough for an adult. She spoke of a child's needs, and told us by the time a child is five years old, they have learned half of what they will learn in their life. A few ways to help are to offer to baby sit, be a block parent, drop in on a new mother or adopt a foster child In another country. A pooled lunch was en- joyed at noon. Guest speaker of the afternoon was Judith Adams, of Toronto, who is assistant to Helen Allen, whose family finder column of children to be adopted appears in many daily papers and also on T.V. Mrs. Allen has been presented a scroll by Premier William davis of Ontario, and her achievements commented on in Parliament. Judith told us that 85 per cent of children who appear on T.V. or in the daily column, eventually find homes and are adopted. She showed us pictures of children who have been adopted that are retarded, mixed race, mongoloid, blind and deaf, without arms or legs, or with diseases such as hemophilia . "She also told us of several families of 6 children who have been adopted. She closed her talk with a poem on children written by a long ago U.S. President, Abraham Lincoln.
