A. R. Alloway, the retiring presi- dent, in his address gave a most com- prehensive outline of the work car- ried on during the year, He outlined the history of the organization since its inception and pointed out that the success of the work was due to two factats, the first of these, he stated, was the appointment of Miss Grace Jackson, whose work he praised in his highest terms. The other was the organization of the Family Wel. fare Board, which aided materially in administering general relief, Mr, Al- loway also paid tribute to the work done by the ladies, who gave a great deal of voluntary assistance. While there had been great demands upon the funds of the organization this year Mr. Alloway felt that next win- ter would again force many to again ask for assistance, but he felt that the organization was now on a per- manent basis and ready to take care of any need which might arise. He suggested that in the future more general meetings might be held at which an opportunity would be given to discuss welfage problems at which those interested would be invited to take part. Mr, Alloway's address was as fol- lows: . Oshawa, May 11, 1931. "Mr, Mayor, Ladies and 'Gentlemen: It is justyeighteen months ago to- morrow since the Oshawa Assoicated Welfare Societies was formed. This is the Second Annual Meeting. That many seem a little contradictory but it is explained bv the fact that at our Annual Meeting on September 2th last year we adopted a constitu- tion which set the date for the An- nual Meeting in the spring instead of the fall, so that we would be able to review our work at or near the end of our busy season, and also give better opportunity to plan the work for the next tall and winter. Those of you who were present at the first meeting held November 12th, 1929, may remember that it was somethiag in the nature of an emer- gency meeting called by Mr, T. B. Mitchell, whe was then Mayor, and I think some of the women who are always so active in every good work. also had a hand in calling the meet- ing, as they were concerned about extending the work of their organiz- ation to provide clothing for those ir nced. There was not much time for thorough organization that year, mesting as we did so late in the fall, and we simply threw ourselves into the work of helping with relief, rais- ing a fund of about $10,000 largely through an appeal in the newspaper, and this fund was shared by the Christmas Cheer Comimttee, which, as you know, has been doing such splendid work for a number of years. Last wall we were able to go about our organization work in a little more orderly fashion, and a constitution was adopted which has now been printed, and if any of you have not received copies our Secretary, Mr. Hamilton, will be glad to furnish same, as we have a supply here. Under this constitution our organ- ization has taken shape and while we do not claim perfection we have rounded out the work to a degree where things are running much more smoothly, and we believe more effi. ciently than at the time we made our report last year. Two developments are chiefly responsible for this im. provement in our work. First, the appointment of a trained social worker in the person of Miss Grace Jackson, with whom we be- came acquainted in her capacity of field worker for the Community Wel- fare Council of Ontario. By arrange- ment with the Council we were able to arrange for Miss Jackson's ser- vices for a period of six months, This term expires May 15th, and I am glad to be able to announce to- nivht that at the request of our Board the Council has consented to Miss Jackson remaining with us for another month and a half at least until July 1st. This will enable her | to complete certain additional work which is under way at the present time. I cannot speak too highly of the value of Miss Jackson's services to our organization. She had been a tower of strength to us and I am sure this view is shared by every member of the Board of this organ- ization and those actively associated with the work, or who have had op- portunity of becoming acquainted with it, 'Miss Jackson has had very capable assittance in Miss Robertson and latterly Miss Wilcox, who served for a considerable time on a volun- tary basis, : Other major development during the past year has been the organiza- tion of the Family Welfare Board, which is provided for under our con- stitution. I consider we have been extremely fortunate in the personnel of this Board, which is as follows: a tea will bs served after which the Audley Community Club will present their play "Wild Ginger"; also orchestra music. These ser- vices are to be held in the shed. Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Tamblyn, Woodbridge, Mr. A, J. Tamblyn and Miss Ella and Master Frank- lin Tamblyn, Orono, visited their mother, Mrs. A.

Mids Jackson could' inter- est you for the whole evening in re- lating details of some of these cases that you would hardly believe exist- ed right Rere in our own city unless you personally came in contact with them, We are looking forward to having a report from Mr. Bennett as to how this Board is operating and some of the things it has becn able to accomplish. Of course, it almost goes without saying that the women have been carrying on nobly in their chosen field, the operation of the clothing depot, and full credit is duc them for the very satisfactory and successful operation of this branch of the work, I can assure you that they run their own show and run it very efficiently indeed, and all this organization does it to supply the funds. Mrs. Miller, will give us some report on their activities during the past winter. The Christmas Cheer Committee has also carried on splendidly and in the absence of the Chairman, Mr. Henry, we will look for a report from Mr, Hamilton, the Sccretdry of that Committee, who is also our general secretary. He will tell you how the work was handled last year and the greatly increased opportunity for service which the Committee found itself confronted with, Financially, the affairs of our or- ganization are in good shape, thanks to the wonderful campaign that was put on last fall under the direction of Mr, W. M. Gilbert, who acted as general chairman at the rcquest of the Rotary Club, to whom we ap- pealed for assistance in organizing the drive. The response from the citizens was truly magnificent as the report of our Treasurer, Mr. Joyce, will show. Over $30,000 was pledged and of this amount all but $400 has actually been paid in. I think that alfine tribute to the people of Osh awa to both their gencrosity and their | i finances, 1 | would like to refer too to the very | integrity. Speaking of gencrous treatment our organization received trom the Provincial Govern- ment acting on behalf of both* the Dominion and Ontario Governments in disbursing the special relief fund that was available this past winter. Bv putting the clothing purchases through the municipality we were able to recover from the General Un- employment Fund reverred to ap- proximately $6,000 of the amount ex- pended. The low overhead cost of our organization work which you will note from our Treasurer's report, is explained by the fact that we have had a great decal of voluntary assist- ance, particularly on the port of the ladies, which has been invaluable, In the giving of relief there has no doubt been some over-lapping al- though cvery effort has been mac to ~revent this. Possibly some of you have also heard of cases of unposi- tion and we have had some of those. 1 suppose this is the experience of everyone who tries to help those in need and if we, as individudls, find ourselves imposed upon occasionally it is not surprising that an organiza- tion, which is attempting to give a city-wide service, should also find it- self imposed upon from time to time, However, such cases, I am glad to say, have been very very few and far between, and the great bulk of the 'people who have been assisted have been very reasonable in the re- quests they 'have made and very ap- preciative of what has been done for them. You know. of course, without my telling you that many of those who have received help during the past winter are not at all accustomed to receiving assistance from any sourcg whatever, It was a new ex- perience for them and not a particul- arly pleasant one. They simply found themselves in circumstances which made it necessary for.them to have some assistance to tide them over, and the welfare organizations were very glad to be able to provide the necessary help, due to the generosity of the citizens who made the work possible, A new department of the service is now being set up. This is the Cen- tral Social Service Index, which is a confidential record of the identifying information any agency in the city, and the list of agencies who have re- cord of these families the purpose being that any agency engaging in social work of any kind may consult this index through our office secre- tary, to find out if there is already a record of a family that is applying for assistance advice and if so, who is interested in the case. This Cen" tral Index is an approved method in use in the larger cities and makes it convenient for organizations interest- ed in the same individual or family to get in touch with each other, and of course, it also tends to prevent overlapping. Miss Jackson is now working on this index 'and is receiv- ing very valuable co-operation from the city agencies and others interest- ed in welfare work, I would like to refer, as I did last year, to the very valuable co-opera- tion of the Public Health Department of the City and also the similar co- operation being extended by the City Welfare Department in charge of Miss Farncomb. Both Miss Harris and her staff and Miss Farncomb's office has been very helpful through- out the past season and every effort has heen made to keep in close touch with them to prevent overlapping and to see that each needy family was properly taken care of. If mistakes were made, and I do not think they were very numerous or serious, the surprising thing perhaps is that they were not made more frequently con- sidering the tremendous loads all of those interested in welfare work dure ing th past year has had to carry. Looking into the future we are all hoping that there are brighter days ahead, but I think the consensus of opinion is that we must look forward to a heavy winter's work again next season, Even though unemployment is relieved somewhat during the sum- mer it is rather too much to hope that people who have been out of work for months are going to get back into shape again to take care of themselves entirely, or that a! will be employed next fall and winter. Of course, there are many different op- inions and many forecasts which one may read and choose from, but the depression through which we have been passing is so widespread, in fact world-wide, in its extent, and there are so many factors contributing to it that it appeags probable that it will take at least ph twelve months to bring about The nétessary adjust- ments. In any case our organization is now on a permanent basis and whether the need is little or great I think we are ready for it. The incom- ing board that you elect tonight will have to consider later on in the year the extent of the camnaign for funds and the method they desire to follow, If I may presume to offer some suggestions to the incoming execu- tive I think possibly a good deal would be to have more general meet- ings, such as this org tonight, but instead of taking up all the time with reports, as we are compelled to do at an Annual Meeting, to provide an opportunity for a discussion of wel- fare problems, a sort of forum at which those interested would be in- vited to take part, In closing I wish to personally thank all those,who have given me, as President, such splendid support during the "eighteen months that it has been my privilege to occupy this office, and I can assure whoever ser- ves as your President tor the ensuing year that he or she will receive splen- did support and co-operation from a loyal body of workers who are gen- uinely interested in helping to lift the burdens of those who are at- tempting to carry a load that is too much for them to bear at this time, I am not one of those who believes that social service work is alone the cure for all the ills and difficuties that beset mankind, but I do believe that it can be properly regarded as and expression of Christian faith and love to one's fellow men, I am re- minded of a verse of Scripture which I will leave with vou in closing, "Who so hath this world's goods and seeth his brother have need and shutteth up his heart of compassion toward him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?" LEAGUE DID MUCH (Continued from page 1) Major Hamilton reported that 857 baskets had been distributed on Christmas Eve, which was an in- crease of one hundred per cent over a year ago. These baskets had been sent out to families in East Whitby Township as well as those in the city. In all $4,100 was expended in this worthy cause. Major Hamilton wished to ex- pressed his appreciation of the part taken by all the organisations who had helped in distributing the bas- kets and also to all those who had helped to make them up. No small praise was due, he said, to the Boy Scouts of the city who had gathered toys, which were later placed in the baskets for those homes where there were small children. He also | paid tribute to the Oshawa Post of the Canadian Legion, who had held open house on Christmas Day at Rotary Hall for men who were un- employed and those who had no home to go to. The service dono was a great one, as the hot meal that was served had been greatly appreciated. Warden John Ross, of East Whit. by Township, who was called upon at this juncture. stated that the people of East Whitby Township very much appreciated the co-cper- ation that the Oshawa Associated Welfare Board had extended to them. Report of the Family Welfare Board The report of the Family Wellare Board, which was presented by Roy I". Bennett, showed that the board had been engaged in a most varied field of work during the last six months in taking care of families which for any reason 'could not be supplied by angencies already ex- isting. In this class 191 families were taken care of. In the six month period the board has dealt with 369 families consisting of 687 adults and 1,060 children, all of whom were taken care of. To show the varied activities of the board, it might be said that two men were assisted to return to England in order to be with their families, while in some cases rents were paid where it was found advisable to move the family out of decidedly unsanitary surroundings. The board expressed its most hearty appreciation of the efficient and untiring efforts of Miss Jack- son to whom it was stated is due a very large amount of the credit for the successful achievements of the board. The report in full follows: Annual 'Report of the Family Wel. , fare Board Chamber-Council, Oshawa, May 11, 1931. The Family Welfare Board was get up in October, 1931, with in- tention of providing an agency through which service might be given supplementing the work of the City Welfare Department and other social agencies in the city, The services of a trained social worker were sought and some dif- ficulty was experienced in finding one. It was finally arranged that Miss Jackson, Field Worker for the Community Welfare Council of On. tario, should come by the middle of November to act as Executive Sec retary and Social Worker for a period of six mofiths. A budget was planned which would enable us to give assistance to families which for any reason could not be suppli- ed by agencies already existing, such as bread and milk to large families, milk for small and un- dernourished children and milk or special diet in case of sickness. Families requiring assistance while residential regulations were being investigated or established were referred to this department for full care, and in a number of instances where there was some em. ployment, but the income not suf- ficient to properly care for the fam- fly some assistance was givén in fuel or groceries, or bread and milk, In all 191 families came under this heading, made up of 332 Sdults and 651 ¢hildren. One family has turned to its place of legal residence and two men have been assisted to the extent of $15.00 each to return to England, in order that they might be with their families. Investigations have been made for eight other agencies,--six out- side the city and two local organiz- ations--and there has been close co-operation between this board and the City Welfare Department, the Public Health Department, the Ju- venile Court, the Children's Aid Society, Mental Health Clinic, East Whitby Relief Department and Pub- lic Health Department, the Cana- dian Legion, Catholic Women's League, the Church and other or- ganizations. In the six months period the Board has dealt with 369 families, 20 of whom are resident in East Whitby. These are made up of 687 adults and 1,069 children, a total of 1,766 individuals. The problems making care necessary were as fol- lows: Adults, Child- ilies. : ren, Unemployment 25 43 Underemployment 230 758 Unemployment and sickness 79 155 Sickness 1 14 Imprisonment 3 Desertion 11 1 Old Age 1 Domestic Difficulties 1 Investigation for other agencies 8 Cases steered to other agencies 4 369 687 1069 Of the above, 'eight families re- ceived service and advice only and were referred to the Women's Wel- fare League for clothing, 20 had no asistance other than milk being supplied. Ten had both bread and milk, the balance of the number re- ceiving more relief in the way of groceries and fuel and other things. Sixteen families were referred to the Board by interested citizens, 33 from General Motors of Canada, 54 from the Public Health Department, while the City Welfare Department referred 39. Fifteen families were reforred by the Churches, six by the Canadian Legion, seven by the School Attendance Officer, five by doctors, 10 by East Whitby Health Department, 14 by members of the Board, two by the Mental Health Clinic, two by the Government Em- ployment Bureau, three by the Children's Aid Society. The fire chief referred one and one came through the Hospital Sociai Service Department, two from fraternal so- cieties while the balance were per- sonal applicatidns. ' There are now 118 of these fam- ilies under care, five new cases hav- ing been added since the first of May, In 11 cases of desertion involving 11 adults and 21 children, efforts were made to locate the missing husband, or to have him support his family, Friendly contact has been kept in three cases where the head of the family is imprisoned and where two adults and 11 children are concerned. In one of these cases efforts have been made to secure .the parole of the father and consid- eration of our request had been promised.' One child away from home was located and placed under the supervision ef the Juvenile Court of London, Ontario. By the concerted efforts of this and the other Social Service Agencies of the City the children of two differ- ent families were made permaent wards of the Children's Ald Society after the mothers had been com- mitted to an institution, It was felt that the family background made it impossible to establish these homes on the basis of good citizenship. Three families have been re-estab- lished in new homes and the form- er problems are clearing up. Advice was given in one family in an effort to prevent the breaking up of the home. Rents were paid in casos where it was felt to be necessary to moves the family out of decidedly unsanitary quarters, and in a few instances where bailiff seizures were institut. ed. However it is not the policy of the Board to pay rents, After December 1st investiga- tions were made into requests for clothing received by the Women's Welfare League when direct appli- cations were made. The provision of clothing is just as much a part of relief work as the giving of grocer- ies and fue] and requires the same careful consideration. : The Board believes that the rendering of any kind of relief without service is poor economy and every effort is made to point out to the families their own resources and to help them to meet their own difficulties. Relatives are consulted where this seems desirable, former employers are interviewed and clergymen are called upon. . Where sickness is found it is referred to the proper agency of individual for treatment. It is impossible for one worker to give adequate service to such-a large number of families as the Board has had under care, some of whom require & great deal of at- tention and follow up after the in- itial investigation before they are on the way meeting their own difficulties, 'Women's Welfare Leagure haye provided a number Fam- 46 455 of "Friendly Vicitors'" to take an in-| terest in and do some of the "fol- low up" in families = assigned to them by our Social Worker. There is a tendency to consider unemployment a sim problem which can be rem: 'by the give ing of relief but when one goes thoroughly into the.situation, so many other difficulties come to light that the for trained service in apparent. kness, un- dernourighment," ragement, and domestic unhappiness, delin- quency.and mental defect are some of the contributing factors found in the families, who have been helped, Some, of course, present only the problem of discouragement and the sense of inferiority, but the neces- sity for close supervision in these families has been quite apparent to the Board. .. The necessity for so much relief giving. has made it impossible for our Social Workar to give as much attention to problem families as good social work requires, but it is hoped that it will now become pos- sible to give the necessary super vision to these familids, thereby preventing more serious problems developing in the future. Social treatment at the beginning are ike. ly to develop into more seripus dit- ficulties in later years and the value problems left without |. of spending time and money. On these families now connot be 100 strongly stressed. The longer they are left the greater the danger of piling up public expense to say nothing of the serious danger of fowering the moral tone of the com- munity lack of character building and the development of good citi- 'zénship. A - In closing we would like 10 @x- press our appreciation of the very large amount of volunteer service which has been rendered by many citizens in the comunity in connec- tion with the work undertaken by the Family Welfare Board. This has enabled us' to carry on the work very ecomomically with low opera~ ting cost. Special mentian should be made of Miss Bessie Wilcox who for four months without any mone- tary copsideration, gave her full time to the varied office work of the Board. We are greatly indebted to Mr. A. J. Adams who gave his time without charge for a period of two monthe, and who rendered valuable assistance not only in the Clothing Room, but also in all of the outside activities in connection with deliv- ering supplies to the various fam- ilies. We would like to thank all of the other associations and organ- izations of the City who are inter- ested fn the physical, social and moral uplift of this community for the splendid co-operation shown in the efforts of the Family Welfare Board in these, the initial months of their organization and work. » Lastly, but by no means the least, we hereby express our appreciation of the efficient untiring efforts of Grace Jackson who camz 49 us from the Community Welfare Council of Ontario, and to whom is due' ina very large measure the credit for any successful achievements which this Board has undertaken. She has worked,. early and late without re- gard to regular specified hours, and with her small staff has helped to lay the foundation on which it is hoped a better social order may be maintained in this city. here in your own neighbour- hood have found the way to cut painting costs.
