So she plans her meals day by day and keeps extra groceries on; hand, Often she must cancel personalplans at the last minute` to ao. commdcittein-coming Children and she must always, leave a message With someone about where she can be reached if not at home. "You get used to this Way oflife," she explains. Betty says it can also get pretty noisy in her home. "I'm f ous for saying tone it w ,'' she laughs. Her o family, con- sisting f her.. husband, only one still living at home) and her mother, have all been supportive of her efforts to run a receiving home. "If the noise and confusion starts to bother Garth (her husband), he goes to visit his parents or for a drive," she ex- plains. Her mother, Mrs. Taylor who is 84, takes the children on walks and knits things for there. They all call her nana. Her own children have always helped with the foster children. It may have been difficult for them at times, she concedes, but it has also given them more un- derstanding of other people. Her oldest • daughter is now a social worker with Family and Children's Services and her youngest daughter says she hopes to be a social worker some day too. "I remember one time there were 10 or 11 children here, six of them under five years of age. We were just like an assembly line getting them ready for bed. Jane (her daughter) got them ready for their bath, - .. Sandy (another daughter) bathed them and I put their pajamas on. Sandy would open the bathroom door and yell, `Next!' It was kind of funny," she recalls. Betty often goes 'beyond the call of duty' to help foster children. She drives them to doctors, dentists and lawyers. She babysits for other foster parents when they need her. She even takes whatever foster children she has at the time, on her annual two week vacation. And she keeps a variety of extra gifts on hand around the Christmas season `just in case.' "One Christmas eve a mother and her baby arrived here and I had to dig under the tree looking for presents to give them. It wouldn't be a very nice Christmas without presents," she says. All children up to age 16 coming under the care of Family and Children's Services_niust go through Betty's receiving home before being placed in a more permanent foster home. At present, there are 55 foster homes in the county and many more acre needed according to Louanne Taylor, who worked with disturbed children in.- London for five years before coming to family and Children's Services. 'She says there • are many myths surrounding being a foster parent that should be dispelled. She explains that most foster children are not up for adoption and that foster parents don't have to think that just because they are fostering they will eventually haIN to adopt. All children are assessed by Family and Children's Services social workers and a . psychologist to be matched to the right foster home. Once the foster parents receive their foster child or children, they are not left on their own. A social worker is always in close contact with them and can.be called at any time. Foster parents don't incur any e*penses but neither do they become foster parents to make money. They are paid so much per day per child Turn to page 7A e Prices effective thru Saturday, November 8th, 1980 NEW CROP Sweet, Juicy FLORIDA ORANGES SOME VISIT 4%E FA. dormat ASp111% FOR FRESHNESS & FLAVOUR Mix 'N Match — Sweet, Juicy, Plump "The Natural Snack", Red, Green or J BLACK GRAPES Facial, Assorted Colours KLEENEX TIssu,Es =0bxs:efets (Our Regular Price 99c) SAVE 56? 1 -Ply Bathroom Tissue, Assorted Colours SWAN'S DOWN pkg of 4 rolls Ib: SAVE 40r 3 -Hour Burning Time FIREPLACE LOGS 5 -Ib size each_ .40110/0, Fresh Daily, Ready for cooking or Salads WASHED SPINACH CANADA FANCY, ONTARIO GROWN, THE PICK OF THE ONTARIO GROWERS 5 -LB BAG NO. 1 GRADE, ONTARIO GROWN, FRESH, TENDER Ontario, Snow White FRESH MUSHROOMS Ib169 No. 1 Grade, New Crop, Extra Large Size, firm Ripe FLORIDA TOMATOES McIntosh Apples 1.39 Carrots 5Ibb,y99¢ FLORIDA; NEW CROP, FULL OF JUICE, WHITE NO. 1 SMALL 5 -LB BAG Grapefruit 6forl.00 Yellow Onions 89¢ DOLE, CHIQUITA, LARGE SIZE, YELLOW, GOLDEN RIPE ASSORTED COLOURS 4 -INCH POT Bananas 3bsl.00 Reiger Begonias 1.69 CHOCOLATES FROM C tiottelida4 Milk or Dark Chocolate t III II 14 -oz pkg Action Price! 89 belles i Chuckles (300 g pkg 1.89) Smites & Chuckles, Minuet (Nutchos 3009g pkg 3.49) MINT 1170 9 for CHOCOLATE 300 g PATTIES Pkg CHERRIES pkg iwlrrwlle1•1i.=MN imam Nis s'% SAVE5OC on your next purchase of 14 oz., 21 oz., or 28 oz.
