Child Welfare
ltiat-Duiiald and Sir W.J.P. Mac- Milian.
PANEL DISCUSSION
The panel discussion on child welfare was presided (NET by Dr. Loyola Duffy. Dr. Frank liL1cMil- lan led off the session with a query about the scope and speci- lfic nature of child welfare work.
Mr. Eugene MacDonald explain- ed this type of work generally re- Iers to caring for the needs of children who live apart from their parents. in this regard he explain- ed there were different services ior diftcretit situations with child- ren A often being sent to adopted homes. foster homes or institutions.
in answer to further question from Dr. 0'Grady he explained that a child who had no or little use of most of his faculties was classed as an institutional child and children who were not adopt- cd but sent out to private homes were known as foster home or boarding-home children.
Mr. Frank O'Neil brought up the question of mother's preference in the placing of her child. Sister Mary ilenry pointed out that the wishes of the client are always fill- ed if they are at all reasonable.
Dr. Machlillan inquired about the attitude oi a Welfare agency towards the adoption of children by widows or spiniaters.
Mr. MacDonald replied that soc- ial agencies were agalnat an idea because the needs oi a child were not filled under these conditions as children were meant to have two parents.
A query about the steps to be taken by a person wishing to ad- opl a child was made by Mr. Ol- Neill. Sister Mary Henry replied that alter a couple make such an application the question immedi- ately arises "Will they be people who will really love the child?"
She stated that while the Bur- eau doesn't look for people with too much wealth they must be able to certify these persons have net er been on relief and that they are capable of earning their own living.
Adoption forms are given to the interested parties and visits are made to their home to learn in- timate details about their back- ground. in some cases three. four or live visits may be made. If the persons are found satisfacto ,y then the agency will try to select a child to suit the background of the parents.
Mr. MacDonald pointed out there was a legal aspect to be consid- ered and this was taken care of under the Adoption Act whereby there was a certain time limit in ivliich a child could be removed from the home if he could not be adjusted to that home.
DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS
Dr. 0'Grady queried about the religious backgrounds of persons adopting children and the age of both child and parents in adoption C3505.
Sister Mary Henry stated that Catholic children were always plac- ed in Catholic homes and non-

homes. In regard to age IIIC stat- ed that the Bureau always tries to get children into homes at as young an age as possible. She stat-
that a very young child would never be placed in the homes of an elderly couple or a couple which had passed beyond the child hear- ing age. .
in his report as President. Mr. Lannan recalled that the Bureau had been set up in 1948 with pri- mary objectives of rehabilitation "To help people help themselves". He stated that relief is only a nec- essary aid in certain cases. ”The amount of relief needed la in dir- ect proportion to the amount of rehabilitation given. Decrease re- habilitation and you must increase relief. Increase rehabilitation and you will decrease relief. Similar- ly an increase in rehabilitation means a decrease in juvenile de- liqucncy. drunkeneas, immorality and other moral evils." he stated.
He reviewed the work of the Bur- eau and pointed out that finances are still a major problem. The president stated that plans for raising additional revenue were dis- cussed and that high hopes are held that some of this thought will be put into action this coming year.
in his closing remarks he thank- ed all those who had assisted the Bureau during the year.
Hon. B. Earle MacDonald con- gratulated the Bureau and point- ed out the Sisters and directors had done well on their small budget. He stated there was much nced for such an agency and for other similar agencies in the City. He complimented Mr. Eugene Mac- Donald for his fine work in the l)epartment of Health and Wei- are.
Dr. MacMillan stated he had been dealing with the problems of children for the past 45 years. He said that juvenile delinquency was one of the curse: of the civilzed world and that last year in the U.
S.A. 1.000.000 juveniles had appear- ed in the courts.
FIELD SECRETARY! REPORT l
L'iit-mployment. sickness of the breadwiniicr and alcoholic drink were cited as the main causes ofi poverty in the City by Sister Mary. Henry in her annual report. i
”l76 families sought help of some sort here during the year as well. as 47 individuals." she stated in. the report. She continued: ”Thel reasons for their coming are many and no two cases are ever exact- ly alike.
"Some come for clothing which. we are often able to supply froml stock of used clothing on The major portion of sister Maria Gorettila time is spent fitting these people and it would be difficult to state accurately how many tons have passed through our hands in the past year. 510,000 would be- a conservative estimate of its value.” I
Speaking of the clients who need food, clothing or fuel. she stated: "why are they not self-support-. ing? Again the combination ofi reasons is as matiy al the clicnts.l Sickness of the breadwinner is one. cause; so many people have only; a hand to mouth existence at bCSl.t and when forced to leave workl are soon in dire straits. Abuse of: alcoholic drink is a canker in too many of otir homes. Unemploy-- nicnt with all the tentacles it en-

genders ll another.
She stated that it was all but
Iimposaible for most. people to un-
derstand the needy. and the poor. the Sister pointed out that we iive in an essentially rural country- side where agriculture iicre as in have tin- dergone an Industrial Revolution with the small farmer seeking
lcasicr money in the City.
”'l'hese people are leaving the land and moving into intolerable iii-ing conditions. They need lead- ers to preach a new philosophy oil work. to study ways to change the social order. to bring people closer in the land where there is a pos- sibility of oivnersliip and respon-i -ibility and work -for young and. old as well as that security which n w n e r I hip in. industry would oriiig." she stated.
Quoting Pope Pius Xll in his Christmas 1952 message she stat- .ed: ”For some families there is a daily dying. a dying hourly, a dying multiplied. especially for parents by the number of dear tones they behold suffering and wasting away. Meanwhile sickness becomes more serioul because not properly treated; it strikes little ,oneti in particular because pre- ventive measures are lacking. Then there is the weakening and con- sequent physical deterioration of whole generations.” ,
"We can not conclude without mentioning that the very best char- itable organization would not suf- ifica of itself alone to assist those in need. Personal action must in- tervene. full of solicltude, anxious to overcome the distances between helper and helped. drawing near to the poor because he is Christ's brother and our own.
"The great temptation in an age which calla itself social-when be- sides the Church. the State, the municipality and other public hod- ies devota themselves so much to public problems. is that when the poor man knocks on the door. people. even believers, will just send him away to an agency or social centre. to an organisation. thinking that their personal obliga- tion hait been sufficiently fulfill- ed by their contributions in taxes or voluntary gifts to those institu- tions.
”Uadoubted'y the poor will re- celvo your help that way. but of- ten In counts also on your- selvu at least on your words of kindness and comfori. Your char- ity ought to resemble God's who camo in person to bring his help."
Sister Mary Henry stated that "if
we really took to heart these
words of the Holy Father we would never label the recipient of pub- Ilc aid an unworthy individual. and it la fstuously imagined,

shame him back into aeif-aumci- ency. We are often told that a proportion of our clients are tchisel- lers" who misuse what is given them. Whether h's proportion is higher among elief recipients than. for example. among those solid and respectable citizens who tender for governmental contracts is. I suppose. beyond qblectlve ver- iiicatiou. '
"It is not enough merely to try to preserve life in our clients." she continued. "So much of the good life is found by man within the smalle groupings to which he belongs and the State can never substitute for these smaller group- ings that provlde the immediate enviroment of good living. it does however have the obligation to strengthen in every way possible the framework within which the good work is possible. For almost all people it is family life with its joys and sorrow. . ."
"Public welfare must seek for more than the provision of econ- omic aecurity; it must foster soc- ial security in the fullest sense of the term.
Speaking briefly on Child Wel- fare Services she stated that 53 children were cared for in 24 boarding homes and most of them were children being readied for adoption. "In addition to the child- ren placed in this province. adop- tions were completed or are pend- ing in the States of New York. Mass, New Jersey, Kansas. Wash- ington, N.B.. N.S.. Out. and Que.
"93 unwed mothers used the ser- vices of the Bureau in 1954. 51 of these were new cases. 11 were non- Catholic and the others were from different parts of the Province.
"The Charlottetown Hospital con- tinued to pay 8100 per month to provide nursing Service. Nursing service included: 523 hypos. 155 baths. 129 dressings and 125 sick visits. The nurse also often help- ed the Sisters with the 1268 home
visits made during the year as
