The front page of last •weeks Ad-
vance -Times carried a story about
honors accorded to. fetter -parents in
this area, some of wham have been fill-
ing that role for 20 years.
There:are myriadWays In which con-
cerned and dedieated people can serve
humanity, but We know a very few
which compare tie iolatlinsettlshness
with foster paretifing.,;10veaf children

husbands and wives who find that they
cannot have- children of their own
usually face a deep dieapeibinfreent,
but those who choosetoadopt a child go
one step further. Theaaoffer allihe love
and protection in their hearts tcaa Child

lonely life.

the future — a month, a year or even s,
mere — they will have to part with one
more chile, 'vvho has found a way into
their hearts.
There may be a few cold-hearted
foster parents who are interested
chiefly in the money they will receive
for the task, but they must indeed be
few -and far between. In the first place
.the monetary return isscarcely more
than the outaf7pocket cost involved,
and in the secondplace that sort of fost-

being selected for the role.

Better use for leaves
Every fall, as the golden leaves Of
our deciduous trees pile up en lawns
and streets we are conscious of the sad
fate which awaits them. They will
either go up in smoke (contrary to local
bylaws) or they will be laboriously
packed into plastic bags and carted off
to the municipal dump.
We wonder how many people ever
pause in the realization that the very
building blocks of our fields and forests
are being consigned to the limbo of use-
lessness-? There would be no forests on
our planet were it not for the decaying
carpet of dead leaves whithadd to the
life-giving nutrients of the woodland
floor each year. At one time there was
no plant. life whatsoever on the bare
rocks of mother earth. Only through
endless millions of years did decaying
moss provide a bed for microscopic
plants. These Inturn, made a thin soil
in which ever larger forms of life could
gain sustenance.
The millions of tons of leaves which
are burned or buried amid tin cans
each year, could provide a tremen-
dously valuable source of compost. Nor
would it be a difficult or expensive pro-
cess. How much would it cost any
municipality to construct a large com-
posting bin, perhaps near the !own
dump? Nature looks after the change
from leaf to rich soil. All that is needed
is time. With a few chemical additives
the transformation could be achieved
over the ensuing winter months.
So what to do with the compost?
Almost any gardener could tell you that
he would gladly pay a fair price for the
material with which to enrich his flow-
erbeds arid vegetable phits.
Truth bf the matter is that we have
*became a wasteful society, almost un-
aware of Nature's beautifUl system by
which death and decay produce life and
beauty. We have been educated, to rely
upon the throw -away cigarette lighter,
flashlight, pop can — whatever. We
aren't very smart when we take the na-
tural bounties around us with the same
haphazard indifference.
Can you
believe it?
Some of us older folk have certainly
been off on the wrong foot for a long
time. We were convinced that this is a
free country, in which the inventive-
nesiand effort of the individual were of
prime importance. We thought that
was the way Canada was built — by the
energy and common sense of its people.
Not so. This isn't the land of free
enterprise at all. It's the domain of the
powerful.
Take the case of the City of Kit-
Chener. Faced with an 80 per cent in-
Creese in the -cost of the first class post-
age, the dty decided to hand -deliver its
municipal bilis and letters. One would
naturally assume that any business,
public or otherwise, should have the
right to make its own choice in the
method of getting/ out its messages.
Not so. The city has received a letter
from a lawyer acting for Canada Post,
to the effect that "legal action of a civil
or criminal nature" would ensure if the
city didn't cease these deliveries.
