Huron County Children's Aid
Society, at its annual meeting
in+ Goderich, re-elected ex -War-
den William Jewitt, president;
named a committee to arrange
for an eight -county meeting in
April; received a preliminary
report on a project for home-
maker services, and heard a
suggestion by the president
that a complimentary dinner be
given foster parents in connec-
tion with the annual meeting,
as in Bruce County. Mr. Jewitt
also announced early comple-
tion of a plan to spell out the
policy of the . ociety and equip
each board member with a "kit"
to keep them fully informed.
"We are working on a writ-
ten policy for the society, some-
things we have not had for
years, anyway," he said. "We
are doing a work which I think
is necessary in getting down in
black and white the things we
can: do and cannot do. As the
next meeting I hope 'we are
going to have for all of you a
kit in which we will put a copy
of the Child Welfare A 1t, some
reports we have been given
here by various social workers,
the Journal we get each month,
and the bylaws whereby we op-
erate, and for each a guide
which will enable you to be an
informed board member. We
have to get a good working
feeling between those who go
out into the field and do the
work and who are responsible

The meeting adopted a bud-
get of $78,000.00, ,compared
with $70,080.00 actually spent
last year. Because the per diem
rate which can be charged is
lower, and payments from out-
side municipalities and Chil-
dren's Aid Societies cannot be
accurately predicted, that rev-
enue is forecast at $12,000, or
$10,000 less than received last
year, and county grant at $58,-
800, up from $42,104. Largest
item in the expenditure col-
umn is $25,000 for boarding
homes, an increase of $2,700.

in the report of a nominating

tary John Berry, is as follows:

Miss McGowan, in her annual
report as local director, re-
viewed events of the. year, in-
cluding removal of the staff in-
to new quarters in the court-
house. For lack of a detention
room for juveniles, arrange-
ments had to be made with
London officialsfor use of their
home. Bruce, Grey and Huron
C.A.S. officials met twice last
year to discuss a tri -county pro-
ject, to include a specialized
home for problem teen-agers.
"Interesting discussions" were
reported.
A cheque from the' Women's
Institutes for the Society's burs-
ary fund made it possible to
give two teen -aged girls a
course in hairdressing and jleau-
ty culture.
Statistics of 1962 work show
that 69• families,, 239 children,
were in protection; 22 children
from child protection families
came into care during the year,
and 17 children were returned
to their own homes.
Every week more people dis-
cover what mighty jobs are ac-
complished by low cost Exposi-
tor Want Ads.
Thirty children were placed
on adoption probation. Adop-
tions were completed for 15
wards, nine non -wards, 14 other
society wards, seven private
placements and four adoptions
by a parent and spouse; total,
49. Two children over 18 were
still in care.
Boarding home applications
received or carried . forward,
57; approved, 32; withdrawn or
rejected, 23. Adoption home
applications received, 64; ap-
proved, 44; withdrawn or -
jected, 17.
Unmarried mothers, 28; puta-
tive fathers, 16. Two new agree-
ments were made, two old ones
completed, and three were ob-
tained for other societies.
A letter from Douglas Gard-
iner, supervisor, child welfare
branch, Toronto, was read later
by President Jewitt. It warmly
commended the work of Mrs.
Ewan Ross, who looks after the
unmarried parents' problems,
commented that not too much
success had been attained with
putative fathers, and suggested
more aggressive action. Mr.
Jewitt interpolated that Mrs.
Ross had good reasons for th-.
situation indicated by the, sta-
tistics.
Miss McGowan -introduced the
members of the staff: Mrs.
Ross, Miss M. Marwick, Mrs. B.
Whetstone, Mrs. F. Lauder, Miss
G. Welsh and Mrs. Dawn
Young.
President Jewitt in opening
the meeting thanked the staff,
secretary and treasurer for
good work during the year..
'"I was at the Bruce County
meeting the other day," he re-
ported, "and the director gave
figures about the work there.
In the past three years, •all of
their work has increased more
than 100 • per cent. It means
twice as many protection cases,
twice as many babies for adop-
tion. The work in Huron has
increased along. the same lines.
It is not work ,we would wish
to increase — our protection
work we would hope would be
less—but we are getting a lot
of new people in the county,
and in the ordinary course the
work load will increase.
"One thing I hoped to ac-
complish in my year as presi-
dent we have not accomplish
ed, and that is some recogni-
tion at our annual meeting, or
some time during the year, for
our foster parents. I did bring
it up and it was voted down as.
costing too much. In Bruce,
they have a complimentary'
ner at their annual meeting for -
foster parents. I hope before
1963 is out we will have some-
thing like that here."
In her report, Miss McGowan
wrote: "A special word of grati-
tude goes to all our foster par-
ents who have taken our chil-
dren into their homes and given
them love, understanding and
security. These people are 'salt
of the earth'. We could not
carry on without them."
Mr. Haskins presided during
the election of officers, after
which the re-elected president
welcomed new members of the
board.
Appointed -a committee in
connection with an eight -coun-
ty meeting in Goderich in April
were Mrs. Johns, Mr. Berry,
Miss McGowan, Mrs. Mervyn
Cudmore and Mr. Jewitt. C.A.S.
work will be discussed by re-
presentatives from Bruce, Grey,
Dufferin, Peel, Simcoe, York
and Ontario, as well as Huron.
Home -maker services have
been under study, but 'Mrs.
Johns, who made enquiries
through Women's Institutes,
f o u n d potential personnel
scarce, excepting in Goderich.
The matter was left over'.
There is need, Mr. Berry said,
for such a service—"emergency
mothers to go .,in as situations
arise and keep a family togeth-
er." It was not within the fi-
nancial means of the Red Cross
at Seaforth, and at the Parlia-
ment Buildings in Toronto it
had been suggested that the
county 'appoint a welfare offi-
cer. .The C.A.S. could ask coun-
ty council to» investigate, but
provincial officials advise go-
ing slowly and on a limited
basis for a start."
