In response to a request from city council the Oshawa branch of the Children's Aid Society recently provided some information about its activities. The letter contained among other things a sentence which epitomizes the whole work and aim of that organization. "Our desire", it read, "is to place our wards in situations which allow them to develop ,in as normal a fashion as possible. We want our children in the happiest circum- stances possible." In order to accomplish this end the Children's Aid Society must have funds and part of its yearly allotment comes from Community hest campaign funds. The chest campaign opens on the 26th day of October. Once again it will make its plea to the members of the pub- lic for funds to carry on the many works of mercy it supports.
