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.

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. The list of officers, adopted in the report of a nominating committee presented by Secre- tary John Berry, is as follows: President, William R. Jewitt, RR 1, Clinton; first vice-presi- dent, Mrs. Kenneth Johns, RR 1, Woodham; second vice-presi- dent, Mrs. Albert Taylor, Gode- rich; secretary, J. G. Berry, Goderich; treasurer, B. G.

Publicity: Mrs. K. Johns, Mrs. Fingland,, James Doig. Policy and personnel: W. R. Jewitt, Mrs. H. KIumpp, Mrs. Murphy, Miss Clare McGowan. 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."
