Possible or naive goal to put be:

Society,. Hoinefinder, "but when
you examine the total' needs of
children in the community, and
then partialize thdse needs, the
challenge becomes a little more
manageable and realistic,,,
"Despite the overall reduction
of children in care within the pro-
vince and locally within the coun-
ty over the last three years or so,
the need for placements for the
special child • of any age group,
and. placement resources for the
teenager remains a problem.
While we have 80 approved foster
homes at present, a large number
of these are approved for infants
and toddlers, and we are often
hard pressed to place older chil-
dren with particular problems,
and particularly the teenager.
"In placing children in a foster
home, 'every attempt is made to
individualize the needs of the
child and the resources and
strengths of the foster home -
otherwise we end up' 'mismatch-
ing' the child and the foster
home. This can happen when

Is a Foster Child
Different from Yours?
The foster child cannot take Of
his past like \ an old coat. 'He
brings his own life-style, his loy- munity. They have a sense of fair
alties to his own parents and play and a love for children that
sometimes to previous foster refuses to give up. They feel se -
parents with him. Both you and cure enough to discuss problems
of their foster children with the'
social worker without feeling that
-they have failed. They are able to
accept the foster child's parents
with compassion.
Can You "Hang In"?
One of the hardest things about
s ' fostering is that often the child
must leave you. More than half
the children taken into care are
returned to their own families in
under two years. Others become
Crown Wards and are available
for adoption. Some do not wish to
be adopted and need long-term
foster care: Your worker will
keep you in touch with changes in
the child's legal status. Many fos-
ter parents adopt' "Their" chil-
dren but they must apply like
other adopters. For children who
need long-term care, we especi-
ally look -for committed foster
parents who want to "hang in".
How the CAS
Will Help You
You will share our goal of re-
, pairing a child's life, resulting
from the loss of his natural par-
. ents, with the least ' possible
amount of damage to him. Most
of his troubles .will arise froth-,
:hatter"' experiences. When you
share these troubles with us, you
become more skillful at handling
them so that they become fewer
as time goes on.
Must You Be
Parents Already?
Although the majority. of foster
parents have children of their
awnrsome'ofour most successful
fosterparents are still in their
twenties and have not started a
family yet. Other good foster par:
ents are childless couples. Many
want to share the happiness they
now enjoy with their ownchildren
with -a child who has no-one.
A "Whole Family" Job
Fostering is sharing what a
whole family. can give to that
most complex_ of creations -
another human being. It is too
important a commitment to be
just a "hobby" for the mother.
The father must be involved •with
the foster child too. If you have
children, they too, must be con-
sulted in a decision which will af-
fect their day-to-day lives and
their co-operation must be en-
listed.
, A New Kind of Career
In most fostering, Children's
Aid Societies offer generous
board rates, clothing allowances
and medical coverage. Beyond
this, ' you have the satisfaction
that you have contributed infin-
itely to future generations,
through undertaking the respon-
sibility for 'a child during a time
of crisis in that child's life. Your
caring now can make all the dif-
ference to the kind of person that
child grows up to be.

'Huron Riding and he means it. He's a digger not a scratcher. He'II

He's a member of the Tax Review Committee of County Council

many Federal and Procincial animal breeding associations. He's
served on the Regional' Development Council for eight years -
latterly as vice-president and he's served on. the Huron Planning
Board - last year as chairman.

and Middlesex. He feels there are better ways of marketing corn
in peak periods and he'd like to encourage more Canadian farmers
to become involved in livestock breeding.
And Charlie will fight for other benefits, too. For instance, he'd
like' more area development, he believes in Goderich Harbor as'a
potential Great Lakes port, he feels that Sky Harbor airport
should be maintained and would fight for a subsidy, if necessary.
Stimulation of local industry is another key issue Charlie believes
in. He wants to give incentives to Tight industry to boost local
economy. And he wants, to make sure tI)e 'brains' of Huron 'and
Middlesex stay in Huron Riding instead of heading south orto
the cities.
A better Huron Riding is worth fighting for. Charlie Thomas is a
fighter.
