Voluntary Homemakers are needed, urgently. to take hold in a family crisis, where charit- able efforts. keep a family toge- ther, until the mother has recov- ered her health. Public interest can give fur- ther help, by advocating more "preparation for marriage" serâ€" vices are needed in our commun- ities. Miss Graham told us, “we found that in the year prior to July 1. 1960, we have admitted some thirty children to care at a cost of -over $5.000. who, if a 'suitable Homemaker had been available, need never have been admitted. f0? care of the ,child.

The an- swer is a joint undertaking. Wa- termains for the village have been approved. The township doesn't want to enter into an agreement as matters stand be- cause then it would in effect be responsible for the servicing end of the deal and this could run into more money than township coffers warrant. There are still several wrinkles to iron out between Vaughan Township and principals of the proposed Kleinburg SudeVision before an agreement between :he two parties can be entered‘into.

There was'no trouble when Ghana got its independence in 1953. There was such strained feeling between the Belgians and Congo- lese that the Belgians just had to get out.
