A Coffee Hour planned to
help Montgomery County chill
dren who cannot live in their
own homes was given Tuesday
by Mrs. William ]. Clark, jr.,
of Ednor, welfare chairman of
the Junior Woman's Club of
Silver Spring. 1t was the first
in a series of Foster Care Cot
fee Hours being hosted by area
women in conjunction with the
Home Finding Department of
the Montgomery County Wei
fare Board.
Mrs. Charles Dake, Home
Finder for the Department, was
present to answer questions put
to her about foster care.
1.-THE needs in the child vel
fare field in Montgomery Coun-
ty are great" Mrs. Dake said.
Zone of the most important is
the need for an intelligent job
of community education. If
people are to work for a sound
Foster Care Program, they
must first know what it in
wolves. Communities all over
the country assume that they
have adequate Foster Care Pro-
gram mainly because commun-
tiles do not understand or recog-
nize the need for foster homes.
Questions answered by Mrs.
Dake were:
What is foster care?
Temporary care in a family
setting given to a child who
cannot live in his own home"
Who usually considers taking
foster children?
people who enjoy parent
hood"
Is there an age limitation for
foster parents?
