minion Sued Potato Certification.

"If our growers could only see ~ the condition in which some oi .their potatoes reach the consum-

HOLD OPENING MEETING - The first fall meeting of the Eve- ning Auxiliary of the W. M. 5.. Trinity United Church, was held on Tuesday of this week, with the President, Mrs, Stanley Thompson. presiding. The meeting opened with the Hymn "Go Labor On. Spend and be Spent." The de- votlonal period was taken by Rev. G. H. Alexander. formerly of Stan- ltope in this Province, now of Michigan. a former ‘sslonary of the Presbyterian Church in the Indian mission field. Mr. Alex- ander in his message stressed that God _is calling for workers and that definite Prayer should be made for definite missionaries. Re- ports were given of visits made to the Senator-tum during the summer season, and a committee appointed for September. After a short busi- ness period Mrs. Leigh Warren gave a solo. A very interesting and helpful discussion on “Temper- ance and Christian Stewardship" was led by Mrs. Arthur Coffin and Mrs. Paterson. The meeting closed with the Hymn, "Saviour Like a Shepherd Lead Us", and Benedic- tion by Rev. Mr. Alexander.

Some of these moving ports of the digger 'can be covered with rub- ber tubing or bus-lap. and this should be done wherever possible. "Careless handling of machinery and, during the trucking to stor- age, can and does account for con- siderable bruising and subsequent losses in storage. The bruised po- tato either turns black or rot will set in. 1111s mskes it quits worth- less for any purpose, to say noth- ing of the injury to the good rep- utationour potatoes now have in the world's markets. This applies more particularly to seed potatoes than it does to tablestoclr. ior the very simple reason that much of our ssed stock must remain in storage for several months before it is actually used for planting.

“Some fields have already made a. good yield or will have s. good crop in prospect by September 15. In such oases, it might be wise to hill off the vines. and so pre- vent. oversize tubers. In any evsnt. every field in Prince Edward Is- land. regardless of locality or the size of the tubers, as of October I should be killed.

"Allow s period of ten days to two weeks to elapse before actual digging operations commence. This givoa the tubers some time to harden and this will help lessen the injuries which are bound to occur when potatoes are harvested in s, more or less green condition.

"Many hundreds oi bushel of pots-toss are lost annually due to rough handling. Instruct every worker in the fields, on the trucks and in warehouses to handle P0- tetoes as s. perishable product and not as stones.”

Dr. MscMIlIaNs Address

In his address Dr. J. A. Mac- Millan. Charlottetown. traced the development of the democratic state to show that the individual predated society - now under- stood as the State. Therefore the individual has certain inalienable rights that pre-date the rights of the State. Mari has inherent rights which he neither surrenders to the State. nor can surrender be- cause they are part of those thinss which so to make up the sacred dignity of man.

“A true democracy.” said tht- speaker, "is a way of llfe in which human individuals live in accord with one another according to the dictates of conscience and Di- vine Law. They band themselves together in whatever form of gov- ernment that may happen to be tlieir choice. This government has its origin and its power from the same Supreme Being who gives life to the individual members oi the State. No state. no govern- munt. no ruling authority of any sort whatsoever, has any right to be called a democracy or to be labelled as democratic which docs not follow these basic principles."

The only ture road to unity in any form of human endeavour is strict adherence. both in policy and in doing. to these very basic principles. Dr. McMillan said. So- cial workers and Government should recognize and operate with an awareness of the inherent dig- nity of man; man has a right and an obligation to do certain things for himseif—viz., care for his family. Neither the State nor the profession of social work. through its welfare agencies. can assume that obligation as long as the in- dlvidual himself is capable of 1s- suming it. Any right implies an obligation on the part of the in- ciividuai to assume the responsi- bility of acting within his rights. and on the part of the others not to infringe on that right. This is a principle social workers, bntli in private and public agencies, must cooperate on and develop basic principles for workers in the prcfessionw

The speaker emphasized that it was basic in a public relations program that the people themsel- ves believe in what they are iii/- ing to sell others. Public relations requires salesman techniques. He pointed out that the people do not know what social work is. what it is all about, what social work- ers are like. what they are try- ing to do. The people need to be told these things, and the social workers themselves are the only nnes who can tell them, because they, chiefly, are the only ones who know.

The speaker pointed out need for standardizing and the registering of social welfare in- stiiuticns. such as homes for the aged, boarding and adoptive homes for children and orphanages. There should be certain specified minimum requirements these in- stitutions should conform to be- fore they would be recognized and recommended as an institu- tion for social welfare work.

Professional standards as they relate to personnel lil the field should be maintained. he continu- ed. Recognizing unqualified work- ers as professionals, merely be- cause they are in the field. will do much to retard the profession.

Unity in methods of survey. re- gistering statistical data, certain standard statistical forms for the use of welfare agencies doing similar work. and of standardized education for social work, was also stressed by the speaker.

the

Aiterrioon Session

Miss G. V. Shand. Executive Director of the Halifax Council of Social Agencies. led the after- noon discussion.

She dwelt on the philosophy that ‘led lo the organization of Community Welfare councils around the turn of century. Erich social welfare agency was work- ing without sny knowledge of what others were doing, causing great confusion and duplication of effort. To achieve coordination in social work the Council of So- cial Agenciea was developed.

The history of the development of councils of social agencies and composition of councils was trac- cd. These included all private and public agencies interested in fur- thering social welfare work through cooperation with other agencies in the field. The aware- ness of the need for public my port in social work made it neces- sary to bring in other commun- ity organizations and service clubs. such as church groups, local wom- en's organizations. Boards of Trade. Chambers of Commerce and similar associations. The in- cluslon cf such organizations made it necessary to change the name of the agency from Council of Sn- cial Agencies to Community Wel- fare Council.

Today Community Welfare Councils are accepted as essen- tial ln social work. They sra valued not only for cooperative planning and coordination of ser- vice. but also as a means of mobi- lizing all forces in the community for the preservation and promo- tion of human values.

The characteristics of a com- munity weifara council are volun- tary membership by welfare agen- cies and by interested citizens. continuous purpose of helping the community to meet the needs of its people for the good health. economic security, and leisure time activities and a program of coordination of social work an planning for social action. ‘

The mechanics of organizing ii local Community Welfare Council was discussed including the com- position cf a Board of Trustees and types of organisation ior a Council in the locality.

The p. ‘ ' 1i social worker

should act primarily in an advis- ory cspacity. where non-profes- sional scclai workers and 1n- terested citizens participated. The factors that led to the devel- opment of a Council might be probable factors in any one com- munity. Possible programs of a Community Welfare Council arc housing, slum clearance, develop- ing playgrounds for children, pro- moting the development of com- munity centers, interpreting social work to the people through pub- licity campaigns, showing the pub- ii what the various soclsi wol- fare agencies in the community are doing for the community.

"Community Welfare Councils exist to promote the orderly de- velopment of these varied com- munity services so that, collec- tively, they will attain the high- est possible eff‘ ' y in serving the needs of the people." tho speaker quoted from Mr. Merrill Krughoff, Director of the Com- munity Chest and Councils Inc. New York.-

A general discussion by the 80 delegates brought out the need for a great amount of cooperation between social welfare agencies and social workers at the admin- istrative level and at the case work level of their work.

The need for promoting the in- terest of the lay people of the community in social welfare work. and in continuing that interest through a progressive program on the part of the Community Wel- fare Council.

The role of national agencies such as Red Cross. T. B. Assn. in a local organization such as the community welfare council was considered.

The need for a local community organization to act in an advisory capacity to the provincial Child Welfare Branches 6f the Depart- nients of Health and Welfare in those areas where there is no Children's Aid Society was also discussed. It was thought that its role would be to act as a sound- ing board for public opinion in regard to governmental action in the social welfare field. such as in the area of administration of Family Allowance and Mothers’ Aid programs.
