It won't be long now until the joyous shouts of school children announce that school's out for an-
other term. In the case of S.S. No. 1, Colborne, however, the pupils may be walking out of the
century -old school for the last time at the end of June. By next September they may be attending
the proposed new school to be built on the site of the old Zion church. Tenders have been called
for the building of the new school. Mrs. Kitchener Finnigan, of Dungannon, is the teacher at S.S.
No. 1, Colborne where about 30 pupils attend. When the Signal -Star arrived, many of the pupils had
headed for home. Those still there when the picture was taken are shown above. In the front row, from

passed when the Huron County
branches of the WCTU held their

Ontario Government to ban all
such advertising.

utmost degree and strengthen-
ing it when ever needful.

future 'action on the part of the
Retail Merchants Association to

wine in .gtrocery stores.
5. Whereas the observance of the
Lord's Day is increasing in lax-
ity we urge all Christians to
dedicate themselves to keeping
the Sabbath holy.

-Christians to refrain front par-
ticipation in all forms of garnbl-

OBTAIN OVER $4,000 IN
SALVATION ARMY APPEAL
Figures for the Red Shield ap-
peal of the Salvation Army for
Goderich and district, as reported
by Lieut. Jewer, showed excellent
response. Collections amounted to
$4,$16.18, with more money yet
to come in. Brigadier L. Bursey,
national campaign director, said
the campaign in Goderich this
year had been "a tremendous suc-
cess" and expressed himself as
"very grateful for all the assistance
given."

Depei talent were brought into play
Friday evening lair -to •Water -tlie

normally hot weather, the lawn
needed water. The- Fire Depart-

night and during the following day.
CAS Efforts To Keep Families United
Means Municipalities Saving Money
"We are no longer concerned
with the breaking up of homes,
but rather with keeping them to-
gether for the best interest ofthe
child, the family and the purse
strings of the locality."
So said Mrs. Mary P. Chaffee,
director of the Children's Aid So-
eie'ty of Huron County, in report-
ing to County Council here last
week.
If one oonsiders the fact that
it costs $1.59 a day or $49.29
monthly to dare for each child
taken into care, and then multi-
plies this by a family of four or
even 10, then, she said, "you will
understand what the difference be-
tween relief costs and the cost of
removing a child amounts to in
your comms mity.
"There are instances in which
such a move is necessary, as we
all know, but only when the evid-
ence is secured, and a court order
given, can we make such a move."
Mrs. Chaffee continued: "This
past year has for us been one of
change — in our accommodation,
bur type of work and the legal
structure around which our work
is built. It is a very happy ar-
rangement to have the various
county offices under one roof. It
will assist all that we do in this
intercommunication. •
"With the coming of a probation
officer we are relieved of the
juvenile court and delinquent work
and investigations. We appreciat-
ed the opportunities this work
gave to us, but we shall have more
time for our family and protection
work. So important is this part
of our duty and of such Saving of
money _for the municipalities that
the province is now giving its
support to each society based on
the number of protection workers
used by a society, rather than the
content of its work.
"After July 1, all the unmarried
parent work will be carried
through the Juvenile and Family
Court under Judge Holmes. By
recent legislation this work has
been taken from the County Court
under Judge Fingland and placed •
in the Juvenile and Family Court.
This court will also collect and
disburse all money for the orders
that are made oder this act. All
such records and money formerly
held by the provincial office will
be transferred to this court. Need-
less to say, this is going to -place
added responsibility and work on
each court and society and we
have much to learn as this new
legislation is worked out from day
to day.
"Legislation has also changed
the age limits of wards in the
care of a society from 21 years to
18 ynars. There is debate on the
wisdom of this change in cases
where a child has no one ,but the
society as its guardian, or is handi-
capped."
The lowest wages in the pro-
vince for Children's Aid Society
workers, are paid in Huron Coun-
ty, said Mrs. Chaffee, but she
wasn't complaining.
"We are not ashamed of this,"'
she said, "as it is felt that we are
all working together in the true
interest of a child and the com-
munity, and not in any way for
mercenary inthrest. I know I can
speak for your staff in that they
are doing this work because of their
interest in the best possible way
of life for each individual and child
in our county and in the interests
and protection of the county, just
as our foster parents are working
with you to preserve it. Our
gratitude to. them and to those
who assist us will not go into
mere words."
The CAS of Huron County also
pays the lowest boarding rate in
the province, the director revealed.
Currently, the society is interest-
ed in 190 children, of whom 34
are wards of the society "and to
whom the county stands as par-
ents."
