Government policy and operations, one wonders whether the child might not be lost sight of! How many citizens paying their Provincial taxes by way of moâ€" tor and liquor licenses etc., would pause to ask themselves what proportion of this was going to highways, what to a forest conserâ€" vation program, and what tor the children in need? Finally, is there not some spiritual factor involved in the organizâ€" ation of a community of people for the protection and happiness and future usefulness of their own neglected children within their own boundaries? There is considerable weight to the argument that the municipal tax pocket cannot be expected to hold the funds for all the inâ€" ercasing social services, because ia is too small in any case, and was designed when social services, as we know them now, did not *exist. This argument points out that municipal tax monies are creasing social services, necause it is too small in any case, and say that the Municipal Government must first provide for those services that direct!ly pertain to property, and the property owner has a right to expect that local taxes should be restricted to this junction. Do you think you could infuse in the citizens ty the same interest and sconcern in this work i9: ren, by means of a Department of Government, s a thousand miles away and to which a local off: Iy responsible? O course in the last analysis all departments o responsible to the people. But when one remem less than 50 per cent of the people take the trouk Lhose voting on‘y a small average clearly, keenly At the same time, is it not a wise provision that because the Soâ€" ciety has accepted and been empowered with the administration oi the Provincial Acts protecting chilaren, there is inspection of i by the Provincia. Government? â€" So that we have here two forces Juined for the children â€" the Public Authority, responsible tor seeâ€" uy that its Acts are properly administered, and a body of local citâ€" iwens, socially concerned not only in their Society‘s statutory obâ€" hgations. Is there not something very healthy in having your Chi dren‘ Aid Society a local service set down in the midst of your commun ity, managed by a group of your fellow citizens, who are democrat lically elected at a public annual meeting, and who do this worl without monetary recompense simply because they feel responsibl lor the children? But there is a very strong all our communitit( municipal administrators as well as citizens concerne with the needs of the Children‘s Aid Societies â€" that we lose control of our Societies as community inspired anc child welfare agencies, for the sake of taking the money ather pocket of the citizen! This particular system of fare is our heritage in Ontario.

The point as issue is, where it Cipal tax pocket, the Provincial imng pocket of the citizen, and in At the present time there is a controviersy as to where the finâ€" ancial responsib‘ity for Children‘s Aid Work should lie. We all recognize that the Children‘s Aid Societies must be adequately supported and the problem is to assess the responsibiity at the different levels of Government, as well as that of the individual citizen. Experience has shown all of us that support for all social obligations through whatever channel the money is received, ecmes from the pocket of the citizen. 110L QIliY approveca@ UII€ Pian wWiln a wnacking majority, but on the same ballot plumped for higher income tax exemptions. Came the dawn and a suudy of practical details. . Somebody with a flair for mathematics discovered, to his and the state govâ€" ernment‘s horror, that in 1949 there would be more than 175,000 male and female Oregonians eligible for the pension and that the cost to the state would be in excess of $100,000,000 a year! This astronomical figure turned out to be three times the state‘s budget for all purposes. Not only had the getâ€"richâ€"quick voters ignored the fact that the sum could not materialize except through ruinous taxes, but they had voted for a tax reduction. All in ail, the Oregon legislature is in a pretty fair pickle.. Whether or not the facts were pionted out to the voters before the reaerendum is beside the point. The obvious moral is that the glitter o money growing on trees was far brighter than any glow cast by common senhnse. (Granby, Quebec, Leaderâ€"Mail) .«.. is do occur. As a matter of fact, it‘s not so long ago gentleman in an Ontario industria‘ centre received the pieasant news that he had won the tidy sum of $34,000.00 simply because he held a sweepstakes ticket on the winner of the Manâ€" cnester Handicap. â€" But the best brains of this or any age still perâ€" gist that there is no sutstitute for hard work in the task of getâ€" ting on in the world, while practically every father has at some time or another come up with the noneâ€"tooâ€"origina‘ pronounceâ€" ment to his children that money doesn‘t grow on trees. Unfortunately, there is more than a fair share of the globe‘s population suffering from the de‘usion that money does grow on trees. _ Witness the state of Oregon, which held an autumn reâ€" erendum on a scheme to pay a pension of $50 a month to all men ef 65 and over, even without the "means" test. The Oregonians not only approved the plan with a whacking majority, but on the same ballot plumped for higher income tax exemptions. +t on vdb.u.
