Foster Homes Badly Needed; Children Are Kicked Around By W. E. Elliott GODERICH--Depths of human depravity and cruelty, and the grim side of Children's Aid work were exposed to Huron County council in the report of Miss Clare McGowan, local director. This particular re- port was devoted to the subject of "the child in care," and Miss McGowan was accompanied by Mrs. F. Lauder, Reg. N. , who visits families with whom child- ren have been placed. "All the older children com- Must Adjust Road Program By W. E. Elliott GODERICH--If the Huron county tax rate is to remain at .14 mills --six for general rate and eight for roads --adjust- ments will have to be made, clerk -treasurer John G. Berry warned council at the June ses- sion, opening Monday. Most drastic of these adjustments, he said, would be in the road program. "However," Mr. Berry ad- ded, "with certain minor ad- justments a one -mill increase would still allow us to carry on the heavier road program which has been our practice over the last couple of years." (Esti- mate for 1963 at the March ses- sions was $1,665,000, much of this subject to provincial sub- sidy, Mr, Berry reported a surplus for the first quarter of $8,581, but to obtain it $20, 000 was used from last year's funds. He could see no reason why expen- ditures should not be kept with- in the allocation for the year, A full interim report would be prepared for the September session.

"They resent leaving their own home; they may he completely unable to understand the be- havior of their parent or both parents; they may be afraid to trust the foster parents --afraid to believe in their kindness. It requires infinite patience and understanding to he a foster parent, and we desperately nee• far more of them. "Some of these childrenhav= been 'kicked around' fromplac: to place and have never felt they were really wanted any- where, and are dreadfully afraid, It takes them a long, long time to feel at ease. One 13 -year-old has just recently stopped ducking his head if any one looks at him crossly. He is beginning to believe that somebody does care if he passes into Grade 3, so he is beginning to improve in school. "Some of these children have no idea of obedience, and of course can't understand disci- pline -except beatings, Some have never been to church or Sunday school and feel they are not wanted there, "Sometimes an older child has to be moved to another home, Bad news travels fast, and in spite of all we can do to prevent it, anything bad about the child or his family gets there at once. The story is ex- aggerated long before anyone thinks of trying to find out if there is any truth in it."
