There was a fair attendance and those Who were there had an interesting time, Messrs, Willis and Greer, of Winghain, motored down and were in attendance. In his address Mr. Mitchell, the pre- sident said: "In gathering together for the 10th aniival meeting of the Huron County Children's Aid and Humane Society— but 1 think, the 26th annual meeting since the beginning of the work in this tcounty-=,1 feel warranted in congrat- ulating the members,of the Society on the continued success which marks our .efforts; but at the same time we cannot but be struck with the thought that it seems to be a work which apparently knows no ebb, but is rather increasing in the calls which arise for the rescue of helpless children from cruelly neg- lectful and even criminal surroundings, that they may have that fair opportun- ity for a right start in life which is the birthright of every child born in this land which we proudly call "our fair Dominion." The reports which will be read to you will show the truth of this statement. As our social and ec- onomic conditions et present exist, ithere seems to be little hope that we shall soon reach. a time when this rescue work can be relaxed, but rather if is true that each year's review shows an increasing necessity for vigorous and organized effort if we are to•save zoung lives from the downward way and start them on the road to honorable and useful citizenship. If all the work done by our Society could be tabulated and epitomized in its results, it would make a record for which we might well be devoutly thankful that we have had a share in it. I need not attempt to go into any de tails—you will 11 n1 some of these in the reports of the County Agent and the TreaF,urer, and if these do not in- spire you to take a more personal and active interest in the work during the succeeding years, 1 will be disappoint, ed. 1 an continually trying to inter- est people who do not attend our re- nular meetings with the duty on their part, and the pleasure they may have, if they will attend these meetings and also visit our Children's Home, and ihus bee.m•.! familiar with, the work !mho: (lone and enjoy the affection • itr•vm 1.o.- ft: little ;'olks who respond :o lovin.iv to what is bein . done for i them. May I not tire a 1,oy,..r ..terd I ance at our Society's regular meetings by the people of Goderich to whom the opportunity.is so convenient? • In closing these preliminary remark:: i wish to again express my hearty ap- preciation of the service of our County Agent and our efficient Matron and her sympathetic assistant who are so assi, (thous in their efforts for the welfare and comfort of the little- ones entrust- ed to their care. And 1 would be un- grateful if 1 did not also give praise to the county council for their ready and sympathetic 'assistance 'in the ex- pense of .the work, and for the improve ment and comfort of the Home and its appointments. , Mr. G. M. Elliott, County Agent of the Society, presented his report as follows:* Goderich, Ont,, Nov. 8th, 1921 1 am tiow presenting the 10th all - 111,1111 report of the Huron County Children's Aid and Humane Society. It appears but a very short time since our last annual meeting held in Clin- ton. • In reviewing"the work of the year just past, we find it is a repitition of former years, -only A little more of it. First, the Society has the work of in- vestigating cases of neglect or abuse, that may be brought to our notice, a- mong children any where in the coun- ty. Eighty-four complaints have .come to us during the year, involving 182 children. These cases have been carefully investigated and such attion„ taken in each. case as we considered best under the circumstances. Twen- ty-sist of these children were filially given over as ,wards of the Children's Aid Society by the Judge's order, Of tliese seventeen are gills and nine are boys. They lame from different parts of the county and were deserted, or orphans, or in some way sadly ne- glected. Two were taken because their father was sent to prison for a term of years and their mother was unable 0 provide fOr and care for 'them. One fine little boy was taken from a mother whb was unable to Maintain him and was the Same day placed in a good foster home. The next a family of five, because a useless father had de- serted them and the mother was quite incapable of caring for them, Good foster hornet were secured forthlt family right .a.way. A brother and a Sister were planed In a •Very fine libine. Two motherless girls Were taken be• AMUR • BAIYOUR who electrified the' disarmament con- ference with Gre'st Britain's formal ac- ceptanee of the proposals in -principle. cause their father was not considered a proper person to have charge of them.' They are placed with their aunt, who Is giving them the best of care. A baby gifl whose mother had no home, and who was unable to maintain her child, was placed in the care of foster parents. A family of five orphan child- ren, whose parents had died within a few months of each other and left the children destitute, were taken and hn- mecliately placed in foster homes with- out expense. A little girl a year old - Was made s, ward and, .with the mother was kept in the Shelter for a few days. We visited her father's home and got his consent to bring the mother and her babe home. And now she loves the child so she can't bear to think of parting with her, and says, "Where there is a will there is a way." A boy aged 15, who was found guilty of a crime, was up for sentence and in order to save him from the reforma- tory, the Society became responsible for 11 1 111 and he was placed in a farm home and so far is doing well. A brother and sister aged five and six, whose mother was deserted, found her- self unable to support her children, and gladly consented to have them placed in foster homes. Five child- ren were made wards in order that the Society might act as their guard- ian, their father being dead and the moth2r not acting the part of a true mther. We are hoping that there will soon be a happy re -union of the Children in the Shelter. There are at present 13 children in the Shelter, eight girls and five boys. And' foster hones are desired for most of thetr. A Children's Shelter is used as a temporal v home for neglected children while they are being prepar- ,,l houl,:s or being chlngA 1: in tole !nom tiauolher, A number (-1 rer this year have ;been placed in foster homes without brlirv.. g 111501 'to the Shelter, During this year we have sheltered 31,, some of them only for a short time. While in the Shelter the matron given them such attention that a change is soon noticeable, 110th in appearance and ac- tions. We are constantly on the look out for good homes for the children. And during the year have placed or replaced 38. All children are decently clothed before they are sent out. Wards in Foster Homes Visited. We have Made 196 visits to wards in foster homes. And in doing this have travelled approximately 3,456 ffilles, 151 many of the homes it was a great joy to visit and :see how 4ppy and well cared for the children were. In only two cases did we find it necessary to remove children /because they were not getting a fair chance. We keep in constant touch with many of the child- ren with letters, and we receive many interesting letters from childreu, many of these show that ourefforts an their behalf are appreciated. Some of these letters would be interesting had we time to read Mein. Suffer at extract from one or two. Dear Mr. Elliott—I thOught I would write is you tonight for I have some good news to tell you.
