McNaught reported. the society has under- taken an experimental program of subsidized adoption. The program, he said. warrants a lot of consideration. The agency‘s services com- mittee, McNaught said. is conâ€" earned over housing problems in the region. with ways and means of providing adequate housing for many whose housâ€" ing standards leave much to be desired. Although the number of un- married mothers counselled in. 1971 dropped to 79 compared with the 152 served in 1970. a greater percentage of putative fathers were served by the soc- ietyâ€"40 in 1971, 44 in 1970. Although the number of babies available for adoption has declined, the demand has not deminished. In spite of the almost daily publicity, reported Van Camp. those interested in adopting infants found it very difficult to understand and ac- cept the change. And although the swing has been gradual, there is now an increased interest in adopting older children. The older child placement program takes more time. more skill, more family counselling in the group sense. Also. the older child has more deepâ€"seated problems and staff must spend more time in helping to resolve them. COSTS GOING UP All children are not adopt- able, but are in care only tem- porarily.

Compensation Denied Whitchurch Fi rema n Ontario's Criminal Injuries Compensation Board March 23 denied compensation to . a former North York fire cap- tain who suffered a heart at- tack helping arrest a man near his Whitchurch-Stouflville Town home. Edward Goddard suffered the heart attack October 11, 1969‘ after running more than a mile from his house to a point where a 15-yearâ€"old girl reported she had seen a near-naked man in the bushes. Goddard's daughter had been attacked by a man in the same area a year previously. The board, in refusing com- pensation. said Goddard could not be considered a victim of crime. since the courts found no crime had been committed. It also found Goddard “did not have reasonable, grounds to be- lieve that the action taken by him would prevent the commis- sion of a crime" However, the Whitchurch man was awarded $110 in legal and transcript costs and the board expressed the hope “that other forms of public assistance will be available to the family". Goddard. who is only 41, told the board during two hearings that he was forced to resign the board during two hearings that he was forced to resign from the fire department in December 1970, because of his health.
