We hereby protest against any future 'action on the part of the Retail Merchants Association to legalize the sale of beer and 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. 6.

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." o RAINMAKER The hose of the Goderich Fire Depei talent were brought into play Friday evening lair -to •Water -tlie Park.

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." ore, Brazil has been testing portable aluminum irrigation systems to increase the coffee crop.
