REBUILDING HOMES AND
SAVING FAMILIES

What is the social worker dong IN
Berea? It is a pertinent and proper
question at this time when the call
is about to be made for support of
the work for another year. Obvious
ly, it is a difficult thing to place the
facts of such work before the public
because there are condolences in
volved that are sacred. The affairs
of a family, though of real concern
to every neighbor and fellow-towns-
man, are not to be heralded from the
housetops. However. it is the task
of the writer to undertake to place
before the Berea public something of
what our executive secretary is do
ing to alleviate suffering and to place
upon a higher plane Of living the
numerous families and individuals
whom she is called upon to minister
to. No names are mentioned. The
families alluded to are described in
a way so general. though with abso-
lutte accuracy, that they will not be
identified.
Mention must be made of one par
ticular fact. All the families de-
scribed have become self-supporting
and much better able to live proper
ly. Money administered according to
the principles of modern social work
has that effect. Money and supplies
simply handed to the needy in times
Of emergency only make them more
dependent The one type of work is
constructive, the other encourages
dependency. Several of the families
were only temporarily in need finan-
cially; but much of the greatest per-
manent good was accomplished in
Just such families.
The A family were in great dis
tress. All of the children had whoop-
ing cough and some of them had de-
veloped pneumonia. Miss English
went quickly TO the rescue. II was
necessary to furnish sheets, bed pan
etc. which was promptly done. One
child whose life was despaired of
was sent to the hospital where he
made complete recovery. Further
attention and care as TO his diet and
habits of living have developed him
into a beautiful and healthy child SC
much so that comment upon his at
tractive appearance is frequent, even
from strangers who chance TO sec
him. Previously. all the children
were sicklv and unkempt. The
mother, whose outlook upon life
was formerly dark. is now happy and
contented. The eldest daughter was

Australia bids fair to lead the
world in its supply Of seals. Gov
ernment protection has resulted in
such large increase along the south
cost of Victoria that they are a
menace TO other fishery interests.
Permits to kill seals are being
granted to returned soldiers on the
payment of a small royalty to the
