THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1932 1 | PRESERVATION OF MORALE BIGGEST SOCIAL PROBLEM W. S. Gifford Says Welfare Cases Must Be Treated Individually The necessity of individual freatment in community relief work is stressed in the following urticle by Walter S. Gifford, pres- ident of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, who was, last year, chairman of the President's Organization for Un- employment Relief. The kind of hearing that our unemployed families get when they turn to public and private relief agencies this winter will, fn my opinicn, largely determine to what degree wo can maintain the morals of the nation. "] walked around the block six times," said one unemployed man talking to a family welfare worker, "before I could make up my mind to come in to you. Frankly, I was afraid. You see. I've lost most everything but my pride and I couldn't risk losing that. I'd never pull up again if I tild. Tt wasn't so much the mon- ey you gave me but something else that knit me together. Yon let me rave against everybody and everything, didn't get sore. and finally told me you guessed you'd feel the same--that on the whole I'd done surprisingly well - --t WALTER S. GIFFORD and wasn't done for by a long shot. That set me right up and started me off with fight in me again on the trail of those new uggestions we discussed, Did you River, | the way from her home in Wing- | | ham to the end of steel at Trout lief break down in morale. Traln- ed social workers in charge of giving relief will be a large fac- tor in holding the '"'morale-line" this winter. The important question for each community to ask itself this fall is, therefore, not only: 'Are we providing adequate private and public relief funds for .our unemployed?' but: "Is a trained, qualified, sympathetic personnel representing us to this group?" AGED PIONEER RECALLS PAST Widow of Former Huron M.P. Is Now Ninety-one Years Old London, Ont.-- Celebrating her 91st birthday Mrs, Macdonald, widow of the late Peter Macdon- ald, greeted many friends Her husband was for nearly 40 years Liberal M.P, for East Huron, One of her daughters was Dr. Caro- line Macdonald, the famous mis- sionary, who died not long ago. Her father, Neil Ross, took up the first farm in Tuckersmith Township, Huron County; and there, one mile from the Village | of Brucefield, his daughter, Mar- garet, one of the family of 11 children, was born. Mrs, Maec- donald looks back and remem- bers the school days in the log schoolhouse at = Brucefield; her | own subsequent examinations at | Goderich, and, later, several years spent in teaching in the | larger school at Exeter. | She has never heen afraid of | new experiences. Nearly 40 years ago she visited French River in | December, the first white woman to make that particular trip in winter. The illness of her daugh- then residing at French | took Mrs. Macdonald all ter, Lake, some then by a most venture- | journey by sled and dog | team to French River, three days | away, Part of the journey was | made down the river, that season of the year was not completely frozen over, Bad places in the {ce necessitated scrambling along the rocks until firm ice was reached again "They told me I could not pos- sibly go, but when I heard that men could do it, T said I could too and 1 did," Mrs. Macdonald recalled, telling of wet, frozen clothes and many privations, But the journey was completed at last and she spent the winter at French River, enjoying the ex- perience in spite of ears that were nipped during a 40-below- zero spell of mid-winter weather. now how close I was to breaking that day? If you'd . . . but you | didn't." | LJ . w The social work staffs of the | family welfare agencies, scatter- ed throughout this country, well know what a difference the kind | of hearing they give makes, even | it it must be brief because a long Iine is waiting. They believe .their half-century-old philosophy cof individualizing each human being in trouble, showing him a consideration not possible in | "breadline'" treatment of distress, | is of paramount importance this winter. Relief to the unemployed should be adequate, but relief is not enough. The restoration of individual's sense of importance 'and personal dignity depends on "how this relief is given, . - . For some time I have been identified with the field of family social work which Is concerned chiefly with safeguarding the family against poverty, ill-health, .unemployment and other destruc- tive forces that produce the "broken home." Family social .workers have fought hard tn maintain the principle that each individual should be helped ac- 'cording to his unique needs and not by rule of thumb. This econ< stant personalizing of the process of helping is my opinion more important than ever this winter.

Ireland's tourist trade enjoyed a . banner season. The annual report of the Irish Tourist Association shows 'that notwithstanding political and economic troubles more visitors came to see the historical and beauty spots of the Emerald Isle than at any other time in the country's history, Then too the Eucharistic con- | gress held in June attracted thousands from other parts of the United Kingdom. Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Holland, the United States and other coun- tries, The association estimates that more than 50,000 visitors came from North America alone and it is considered a certainty they spent close to $5,000,000 during their stay. Despite economic troubles with the United Kingdom there was a heavy increase in the number of visitors from there. The prin- ~ipal magnet for the Britons was 'he Sweepstakes.

Studying bird life first hand and with such a work- ing knowledge to guide him, John Piggot has found that most na- tive birds like wooded areas, whether densely or sparsely covered, and with this as a guide he is providing evergreens, alder and birch thickets and willow- bordered streams. His studies have also placed him in a posi- tion where he can estimate, to a great degree, the value of bird life, and his observations along these lines throw a most illumin- ating beam on the subject, Interesting Studies Figuring most conservatively, he estimates that there are at least five insectivorous birds, on an average, per acre in Nova Scotia during the summer and in certain specific cases he has found that there are individual acres where from one hundred to 200 useful birds stop during the resting period. With the {information avail- able, it was estimated that Nova Scotian had 67,000,000 birds and, giving them credit for only 100 insacts per day for each bird, tical arena after having re. signed as provisional . presi. dent, Carlos Davila is shown above as he arrived in New York with his wife and two daughters to make his resi- dence in the United States for an indefinite period.

Winter Birds The winter birds like chicka- dees, woodpeckers, kinglets and others, live largely on insect eggs and larvae and sometimes eat several thousand small eggs to satisfy one day's needs.

As a man, John W, Piggot developed and enlarged that Interest, and today, at the age of 27 years, he as second only to Jack Miner in his work of preserving wild bird life. with the creatures that inhabit it led to John Piggot's intensive study of wild life, until, at the age of twenty, he had already grasped a fact that is not yet fully understood by many an older man,--the fact that the survival of forests and forest life depends entirely upon the atti- tude of the people today. Farm Established His interest in birds brought him in touch with other nature overs in Nova Scotia. He joined ornithological societies, He laid the foundations for his life work and the spring of 1930 saw the venture take tangible form. That vear Bird Haven Farm was established near Bridgetown the Annapolis Valley, With an objective of a acre area, the first year's activi- ties saw the excavation of two large ponds and the grading of lawns begun with the material thus obtained. The season of 1921 saw the occupation of 18 of the bird houses by a corres- ponding number of pairs of tree swallows. With this encouragement, John Piggot continued to work this year--the second only since and plan, with the result that the commencement of the pro- fect--he estimates that nesting bird life has easily increased five hundred nercent, . Many Bluebirds Bluebirds, perhaps the best loved of North American birds, although not at all common in Nova Scotia, have discovered the comforts of Bird Haven Farm and more than half the total number of nests found in Nova Scotia are there. This year. too, finds 100 nests of various kinds of swallows there, about 30 of them being in thc bird houses provided as an inducement.

Its room was Kept at a moderate heat by an electric radiator, and to the surprise of everyone concerned it gained in weight at the rate of 10 to 12 ounces a week.
