(T -A photo) Honor foster parent homes in county A philosophy of prevention should be adopted toward the problems that bring children and parents before juvenile and criminal courts, Judge Ross Fair told a large gathering last week. He was speaking at the annual banquet and awards night of the Family and Children's Services of Huron County (formerly the Children's Aid Society) at Pineridge 'Chalet, near Hensall. Judge Fair is a senior provincial court. judge in the • family division at Kitchener. Many of the county's 140 foster parents were in the audience, as well as employes of the FCS. Preventive work would forestall the need for much institutional care and many placements in foster homes. "The difficulty is getting money for preventive wb1Ck", he said. It was easier to ob- tain for support, protection or institutions. Government personnel were not hard- hearted but saw themselves as accountable for money spent. Proving in dollars and cents the need for preventive urograms was difficult but necessary. It would save the country literally millions of dollars. while earlier aid would give children and their families a much better chance of straightening out their lives. • The judge, who has worked for 11 years in family court, said he always had hope when the parade of children passed him there. Often, the hest immediate hope for them was that a good foster home would he available. If competent, willing foster parents could be found for each of these children. it would greatly reduce the need for in- stitutional help. The number always seemed insuffcient. "Foster parents aren't in it for the. money", he com- mented, adding that they take on the role knowing that it requires much giving. It was impossible to measure their contribution, no matter for some young people. For where. "Children's needs are them, too, the eventual as great in the country as in problem centred round return cities." to the community. He defined the competent Recruitment of foster parents foster home as one in which for this group was necessary, compassion and un- too. derstanding,were extended to Judge Fair disagreed with the child. For the first time, a those who claimed society child might learn that there, was going to the dogs. Most could be discipline without people carry their load, don't harshness, indifference or carp a lot and get their jobs abuse. The judge mentioned done. It was good, he said, "to also the importance of the get out and be reassured that inter -action between foster- there is till in every com- child and children in the munity a solid base of foster -home. From them he responsible people." could learn much, about obligations, love, patience, tolerance, self-control and respect for others' opinions. He could learn to accept challenge, seek success and learn also to accept failure gracefully. "We want the child to learn what life is about", said Judge Fair. "Many of the children the courts encounter have°had none of this." There are problems associated with temporary care arrangments. The child goes through a crisis while settling down and trying to find his feet in a strange environment. His own parents are often hostile toward him as well as toward the judge and the court. The ultimate goal is always to reunite child and family. Foster parents in a sense win by losing. They form at- tachments for their charges, but know they must even- tually return them to their own homes. The Family and Children's Services work with family, as well as child, helping parents gain insights and improve parenting skills. "Most parents have the normal human urge to look after their own children", he said. The children themselves, no matter what.the conditions in their own homes, always yearned to return. It was unfortunately true that youth correctional centres were the only place The value of foster parents could never be estimated in dollars and cents. "I don't think there is anything I can say by way of thanking you", he told those in the audience. Their reward came from the growth, development and improved responses of the children in their care. He concluded with a quotation from Confucius: "It is better to do a kind- ness near home than to walk a thousand miles to burn in- cense." Certifficates for 20 years as foster parents were presented to Dorothy and John Scott of Goderich and Margaret Heaton of Hensall. Doreen and Stewart Dolmage of Seaforth will have theirs mailed. Muriel and Walter McClure of Seaforth received a certificate for 15 years as foster parents; while 10 -year certificates were given to Lila and Lorne Thompson of Brucefield, Verona and Russell Snider of Zurich, and Betty and Garth Hamilton of Goderich. Hazel and Herbert Harrison were not present to receive theirs. Five-year certificates went to Evelyn and Kenneth Boyce of Goderich and Alma and Ted McLean of Goderich. These will also be sent to Yvonne and Dennis Brown of Parkhill and Diane and Barry Hackett of Goderich, who were not present.
