_ pac-kage-s on child abuse
together for those in the
medical profession and
those in the teaching
profession.
She tried to inform as
many professionals as
possible about .their
obligations under the
Child Welfare Act. New
legislation as .of 1978
says: Every person who
has reasonable grounds
' to suspect in the course of
the person's professional
or official duties that a
child has suffered or is
suffering from abuse that
may have been caused or
permitted by ,a person
who has or has had
charge of the child shall
forthwith report the
suspected abuse to 'a
children's aid society:
Failure to do so can lead
to a $1,000 fine. •
Kathy .was pleased to
see a teachers' group
formed in the county to
introduce comprehesive
policy on child abuse in
the schools. A 'police
discussion group on child
abuse was also formed.
As a community
worker, Kathy also
became involved • in a
resource centre set up in
Huron Park with the help
of a Canada Works grant.
This centre offers
counselling, a nursery
school and recreational
activities as well as
acting as a referral
centre.
Kathy feels that parts
—af—hei w oi k have -beer
successful. she has
created an interest in the
subject of child abuse and
has been able to supply a
few more resources on
the subject such as
written material and
slide and sound
presentations. But ' now
that she is leaving, the ,
demand for her services.
will fall back onto other
members of the FACS
agency who already have
enough work to do.
It is difficult to
evaluate but Kathy does
feel that more people are
reporting suspected
cases of child abuse and
she hopes that she has
been successful, in
making people aware of
the resources available in
the county such as the 24
hour crisis service at
FACS, public health
services and the Huron
Centre for Children and
Youth services.
Kathy says she learned
a lot herself and felt that
during the last four or
five months of her job,
she had become the most
effective. Now that a lot
of time and money has
been invested in her and
expectations boosted, she
has to leave because the
money has run out. She
found the short term
nature of her work to be
frustrating and .can only
hope that some of it has
been successful.
topic was "Plant
Families".
The • families of
flowering plants are
recognized . by their
seeds, leaves or stems.
Nine families were
selected to be observed.
As members viewed
colored slides,- Mrs.
Pullen described the
ubjects. .
Did you know that a
rose is in the same family
as the strawberry,
raspberry, cherry, apple
and pear?The flowers are
formed alike. The iris- is
related to the gladiola
and crocus by.having the
same shaped leaves.
The lily has the same
stamin formation in the
flower as the tulip, grape
hyacinth and fall crocus.
The buttercup, anenome,
columbine' and peony are
alike.
The gaillardia with the
sunflower, `yarrow,
thistle, and dandelion
have compound flowers
,of many flowerettes
which produce the seed.
The poinsettia and
crown of thorns have the
flowers in the centre with
coloured leaves around it.
The most unusual
family is the tomato for it
is in the same family as
the petunia, potato,
tobacco and nightshade.
Their flowers are shaped
alike. The potato and
nightshade are poisonous .
if eaten.
The calla lily has,_its-
flower in the middle .in
the shape of a. pistil such
as the dieffenbachia,
philodendron and jack-in-
the-pulpit. The _white part
of the calla lily is a leaf.
Members were advised
by the speaker to "get to
know flowers better."
They can now observe the
familiarities and realize
that "Nature is
Beautiful".
In appreciation for
such 'an interesting and
informative program, the
Garden. Club presented
Mrs. Pullen with agift.
The treasurer,' Marion
Shaw, reported that 'the
Garden Clubgrant had
been received. ,The Club
is obligated to spend this
money for • civic hor-
ticultural projects. It has
sponsored Jubilee Park
on Highway 8. The flower
bed was planted with 100
ge1°'aniums and other
flowers this spring-and,it
has been very colourful.
Members. appreciate ;the
interest and work done by
