ctildren, she told us. 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.
On family and children's
services, Mr. Richard
Boonstra reported an in-
crease on child beatings, and
more cases are reported in
Huron County per capita
than in any other county in
Ontario.
He told hew Institute

Forsythe based her thoughts

are filled with inspiration
urging us to Praise and Be
Thankful. Let us never
forget to acknowledge any
kindness, not only to God but
to family and friends.
May we not get the
mistaken idea that we
deserve all the good things
we enjoy but remember the
word Thanksgiving has two
parts.
Thanks without Giving is
not enough. Let us
remember a hungry World in
need of our help. She closed

They were a mixed group.
Some were despondent at
times, some had lost their
self-esteem and all had
experienced a feeling of
"Alone-ness".
Most attended the daily
discussions when he tried to
bring to them the Church's
spirit of love, and encourage
them to believe in their own
worth. Perhaps what they
needed most was a listening
ear.
As a tribute to their ef-
forts, one woman told him
she thought she had gained
strength to face another
winter.
