A very special commitment has
been made by member of our
community, Mr. and Mrs. Jack R.
Gordon of Walton, have joined
Foster Parents Plan of Canada.
They have 'adopted' little
Rosalinda aged Six years of
Philippines. The Gordon's
monthly contribution of $17
brings 'material and financial
assistance to both child and
family and is aimed at
strengthening the family unit by
helping each member.
$17.00 a month provides the
family with a monthly cash grand,
distribution of goods such as
vitamins, blankets, towels, soap
and other useful items, medical
and dental care, the sustained
guidance and counselling of social
workers and the benefit of special
programs. A strong emphasis is
placed on education. All Foster
Children (and their brothers and
sisters , if possible) must attend
school. Vocational training
courses are available to Foster
Children, their brothers and
'sisters and in some cases, their
parents. The aim is to give the
family the tools to help them
become independent and self-
supporting. Special programs
adapted to the needs of, each
country also meet these aims.
Foster Parents and Foster
Children correspond monthly
(letters are translated by PLAN)
and often develop want and
affectionate relationships which
mean as much to the child as the
material and financial aid.
Foster Parents Plan is currently
working in ten countries in South
America and Asia. Over 50,000
children are currently being aided
by individuals, groups and
families in Canada, the U.S.A.
and Australia. For more

Two farmers were discussing a
recent drought which produced
only a good crop of dust.
"The drought sure has made
the wheat short this year," said
one.
"Short?" replied the other. "I
had to lather mine to mow it."
