Appeal for Volunteers
Foster erfMotbers Are Sought
To Care for Needy Children
By Gretchen Smith
women's s Club Editor

Today, there is urgent need for
more foster homes with approx
mately 81 little children looking for
foster mothers.
The Citizens Committee to Find
Foster Homes will open a campaign,
"a Home for Every Child" March
10 to March % when clubwomen
especially are urged to assist. The
work that is needed is not difficult
and means only the sacrifice Of time
during the period of the drive.
Volunteers will be asked to visit
homes in different parts of the city
and leave leaflets containing infor-
nation on the foster home service.
The type home required will be
specified and the remuneration Civ
en- the foster mother by the child's
parents will be explained. Minimum
clothes requirements are furnished
by the Board of Public Welfare If
parent is unable to finance this need.
The children needing foster home
care are not for adoption-this
lis clearly understood by both, foster
parents and real parents. 1t is
always the hope of all concerned
that the real parents, either father
or mother or both, will some day
be able to claim their children. But
in the rapidly passing years of child
hood when each month is of vital
Importance in developing the citi-
zen of the future, the foster home
gives an invaluable service-one
that cannot be found in an institu-
| ton.
ClubwOmen Assisting.
Clubwomen who have already lent
assistance to the drive include Mrs
Gertrude Parks, president of the
District Federation of Womens
Clubs; Mrs. James T. Jardine of
| the District Voteless League of
Women Voters and Mrs. John Elbert
Chase of the Washington Council
of Church Women.
Mrs. Chase is calling upon men,
bers of the council to do everything
possible to assist in this need
"It seems terrible to think there
are 38 little children now in the
Receiving Home who should have
the individual care and love of
foster mother" Mrs. Chase said.
Mrs. Chase is among the speakers
at the training classes which are
being held for volunteer workers for
the campaign in room 3106, Munich
pal Building.
Several classes were held last
week. A class, from 10 am. until
2:30 pm, will be held Tuesday.
These classes instruct volunteer
workers for the drive on basic facts
concerning foster home needs. AL
though the house-to-house canvass
which will be carried on throughout
the campaign only requires the
worker to leave the leaflets supplied
by the Citizens Committee to Find
Foster Homes, questions may be
asked by would-be foster mothers
and it will be Of great help if the
workers are able to answer some
of these questions.
An appeal made by Mrs. Leora
Field. assistant director of child
welfare, before the board of the
District Federation of Women's
Clubs last week. is hoped to meet
With success and response from
members of the approximately 80
clubs which make up the federation.

formation may call Miss Gladys
Dennison, Child Welfare Service.

Time passes rapidly and fortu-
nately it frequently heals old wounds.
This has been true in the case Of
young Mr.. g., thanks to the kind
woman who gave his two little girls
q foster home during that dark hour
when his wife sacrificed her life
giving birth to a third baby, which
lived but few hours.
Mr.. G. was pretty desperate at
that time. Two little daughters, 2
and 4, needing daily almost hourly,
care. What could he, do with no
woman relatives to help? He turned
to the Board of Public Welfare, ex-
planning his paigt1tTy
No, he didn't want. to place his
little girls for adoption He just
wanted to fiad some kind woman,
who liked children, understood them
and could give them the care they
needed until the day came when he
could claim them and bring them to
his own home.
Foster Mother Located.
The board helped to find just the
right person. She loved children,
had a nice home and plenty of time
to give the children the care they
required.
Two years passed and Mr.. G
married again. He had established
a home and was anxious and able
to have his children back with him
His new wife was delighted to have
the girls and so they called at the
home where the children had been
sheltered and loved through the
days of darkness.
The good woman, who had been
q foster mother to the children
fully realized their place was with
their father and stepmother. She
had given them two years OF con-
structive, loving care. and when they
returned to their father, they were
strong, healthy girls. able to take
their place among the other chill
dren OF the neighborhood. They
were not taken completely out OF
the life of the foster mother either
but frequently returned to visit heI
with their father and new mother
The foster mother missed the chill
dren, but happy in the knowledge
they were with their father, she
took into her home other little
ones who needed this temporary
emergency shelter.
This case is one of the many
which the foster home service has
been able to solve for unfortunate
parents, helpless children and a
grateful, enlightened community.

Today's native seems to be a lover
