TILE SEAFORTH NEWS BRITISH WAR GUESTS ahliartunoul of Public Welfare) British children participating in the mass evacuation movement (as distinct from those whose parents are able to pay their transportation to the homes of relatives in this country) will be brought to Canada under the auspices of the Dominion Government. The Canadian Government, in turn, has delegated to the provinces the re- sponsibility of finding suitable bonzes for these Child Guests, and and once such hones are found, the additional responsibility of ensuring that the children continue to 1)e prop- erly eared for during their stay in this country, a period which 'will pro- bably be extended fur a shorttime past the duration of the war. In Ontario the responsibility for carrying out this program bus been vestal in the Department of Public. Welfare, and through the Department in the Children's Aid Societies throughout the Province, In order to centralize the opera- tion of the program it has been deemed advisable to invest full con- trol of all home -finding imll pUuie- ments in the local societies which through many Years of efficient oper- ation have been able to build up an experienced organization to investi- gate and supervise the placing of children in private homes. In other words, all children coming to Ontario for placement in private homes must pass through the hands of the Child- ren's Aid Societies. Once placed In homes, they remain under the super- vision of this organization while they continue to reside in Canada, Classes of Children Affected The Ontario Government's program of placing Child Guests is concerned with all children who are brought to this Province for Piaeement in Priv ate hones, 11. is NOT concerned with: L The movement of centre schools for establishment of school groups In Canada with the exception noted below, or 2. The movement, of children whose transportation and expenses are fully paid by their parents, to the lunnes of relatives 1n Canada, In the latter two instances, the movement is (1111ied out by diced nr• rangement tvltit the Canadian inunig• radon authorities and without refer• sore- to the Provincial jurisdiction, However. any children brought out in school groups who may have to be itee0utnodatcd in private homes are to lie placer through the Children's .1 td Seeleties, Children Coming to Relatives Many persons in Great Briiuin have relatives in this Gauntry to whom they wish to send Blair children, but are unable to defray the necessary expenses in order to permit the nl)voon'nl to he handled privately tree above), in These elreannstauecn Hu. children may become part of the general movement and every effort will be made to put them in the erase of relatives here. subject to the fol- lowing requirements; 1. The parents or guardian In Great Britain must "nominate" the home In C'linacia to which the child or children aro to go. 2. The relatives in Canada must volunteer their home to the local Children's Aid Society and notify the Society concerning the names and ages of the children whom they wish to receive. Co-operation of Organizations Many Ontario orgnnizatiois which are af'f'iliated with similar groups Lu Great Britain have expressed a wilt Ingness to assist in the pl1tcentenl prograi11 by having the homes of members in Ontario offered to the children of members in Great Brit- ain.

Drgml zaticros coming within this category who wish to assist in the program may Have the children of similar organizations in Great Bri- tadu "nominated" for homes here. At the suite time, the Ontario homes must be volunteered to the local Childl'es's Aid Society. Once the Monte has been approved, it can be held open for a child or children of the designated group. '.there are 011101' organizations which have expressed a willingness to assist in this program. The serv- ices of most of them are welcome and needed. A great deal of the wont fall- ing upon the local societies in carry- ing mut this program can be filled by volunteers. ()facers of alt organiza- tions willing to offer services in this vitally important cause are asked to communicate with the superintendent of the local Children's Aid Society.

Your Safeguards in Accepting Children Each Child Guest is subject to need, teal inspection before leaving Great Britain. Upon arrival in Ontario there is a brief period or waiting in Toron- to or other centre -where a further and more thorough examination will be made. This examination is carried out by a staff of doctors experienced in work among children and is sup' plemented by a dental survey. revery care will be taken to ensure that all Child: Guests placed in private homes are sound and healthy in every re- spect. Any child whom the examine, tion discloses requires- further medi- cal care will not be placed in a priv- ate llonle, Should Illness develop atter the child has been placed, the host will be expected to provide ord- inary medical care in the same mate ser lis ho would if the child were his own. Under no circumstances, how- ever, will the Rosi be called upon to bear the cost of hospitalization or of major medical eery. This responsibil- ity continues to rest with the Gone inion Government. In case of serious illness, the local Children's Aid Soc- iety must be immediately notified. After the child has been placed, unforeseen circumstances may de• velop which might render cleeirable the removal of the child or children from the home. Such circumstances would include a death in the fancily or other considerations affecting the financial condition of the home. It must be borne constantly in mind, however, that in accepting a Child Guest, the persons providing the home are undertaking a serious re- sponsibility and one which should not be entered upon lightly of with- out full consideration of all the fac- tors involved. Small annoyances and discomforts must be overlooked if the plan is to succeed, those- who provide hones must be prepared to make concessions of a personal nat- ure in behalf of a most humanitarian cause. Concerning Older Persons --The children for placement range in age frail) five to sixteen years, inclusive. Only in very special circumstances will the program deviate from these age groups.

DEFENCE TRAINING MAY BEGIN THIS FALL Before the middle of September. 50,000 single men between the ages of 21 and 24 are likely to.. be called up for 40 (lays' compulsory military training. An unofficial estimate places the number of men eligible to be call- ed for Service under the new con- scription law for home defense, at 81111,050. Pay will be 11.20 a day at the rate set for the non-pinmlanent militia. No allowances will be paid relatives. The government, it is expected, will insist on employers paying its em- ployees wages while they are taking their forty days' training. Limitations of the training prog- ram will restrict the actual summon- ing of sten to 50000 for the time be- ing. While official regulations have not been issued, it is known that the defense Ministry proposes to cone 11111111' Graining of Canada's civilian army its soon ics the Canadian Active service Force troops and the existing units of the nml-pal'nl orient active 11111• itis have vacated cramps and released necessary equipment. It 1s proposed that skating rinks and fair grounds which are import- ant features of almost every comm- unity in Canada shall become centres of military training. It also is proposed that drafts of conscripts should be so staggered that the ordinary course of business should not be interrupted and there is no intention of drawing skilled arti- sans from essential war industries. Such men would serve their military obligations by one or two nights of :pare time drill with a local militia tilt. Many Planes Needed for Training The magnitude of the British Ent pare Air Training Plan is effectively illustrated in the requirements of planes for each training unit. These total 1,516. aeroplanes, divided as follows: 108 for each of 16 Flying Training Schools; 27 for each of 21; elementary training schools; 25 ftr- eac•h of 1u observer's' schools; 75 10' each of 10 bombing and gunnery schools; 4S for each of two navigation schools. Tobacco - Excessive rainfall and poor grow. ing eouditions during most of the past 111011th have cause)( considerable damage to tobacco in Essex County. Conditions as u whole in Kent Cnan- ty, which produces about one-half of the burley crop, have been much bet- ter during Ole month of June and as a result the tobacco looks much bet- ter and has made far more growth than in Essex County. Conditions have been different in the new tobacco belt, particularly in Norfolk County. Very little rain fell in the Delhi district during the early part of the month and very good root system developed on the tobacco slants in that district. A hail storm covered quite a long narrow strip in Norfolk County on June 26 and caus- ed damage to more than 506 acres of tobacco, Two young ilea were arguing as to the exact meaning of the words "vision" and "sight:" The discussion great heated until one, who main- tained that the meanings were diff- erent, remarked: "Well. if they do mean the same T give in, but my girl is a vision, and yours Is a sight."
