Mrs. Laura B. Makinson
Tells 0f Good Work Be-
ing D o n e Throughout
County. .
A frequent visitor to South Nor-
walk is Mrs. Laura ll. Makinson. ox-
ecutive secretary of the Fairilcld
district office of the Connecticut
Children's Aid Society.
Iilrs. Makinson iitated. when inter-
viewed here. that she had received
nine applications for service from
Norwalk since the establishment of
her district oilice in Danbury. No-
vember 1, 1925. Other appeals from
B e t h e l. Bridgeport, Brookiield.
Boston. Greenwich. New Canaan.

numbered twenty-nine and involved
04 children.
Investigation in 28 cases resulted
in the boys and girls remaining in
'their own homes or in those of rela-
tives after' adjustments were made
by the society. This meant that the
social worker in many cases cffcct~
ed reconciliations between the par-
ents. secured hospital care for a
member of the family, a steady Job
for the wage earner, or temporary
board for the child until his own
home was restored.
At the present time. the Connecti-
cut Children's Aid society is caring
more or less permanently for ten
children in supervised foster-homes.
Kore Frequently. r
"Investigation of the appeals and
supervision of the home." said Mrs.
Maklnson. "bring me into South Nor-
waik frequently. After We have de-
cided that the child needs our care.
we place him in a foster-home and
then visit him once a month to
watch over him. I look after his
health, taking him to the doctor and
dentist twice a year. inventory his
clothing and shop for the articles he
needs, consult his teachers regarding

, with his foster-mother regarding his
general behavior."
"Does the child always fit into the
home?" Mrs. Makinson was asked.
“Almost always," she replied with
a smile, “if not into the first, then
into the second, for when We are
convinced that We have misplaced
the child. we double our efforts to
find his real niche. Not long ago,
a bright littlc chap from Fairileld
district was placed in an excellent
foster-homo. After several visits
with his foster-mother I found that
Frank's love for animals was cre-
ating friction betwee'n the two. We
decided to remove Frank from that
home and put him with a sympathe-
tic fostervmother who ran a farm
where his kindness to dumb ani-
mals would not only bc tolerated
but utilized. He insisted on taking
with him a huge box which con-
tained two cats. Now his new foa-
ter-mother already had quite a. large
collection of live .stock. and her
agreement was to board one small

about the outcome. However, I re-

which read:

Dir. Swnrtz Speaks
Christian Swans of the Kiwanis
club and another Civil War vct ad-
dressed the gathering. He told the
members that Monday will be a day
of Joy as well as a day of sorrow.
He said that. it was a great pleasure
to be around and accept the kind
greetings of everybody. He express-
cd his appreciation of cordial treat—
ment of the vets.
Mr. Swartz went on to say. "We
feel that we have but a few years
left yet. but we do not fear that.
Death has no terror to us. We stood
the brunt of the battle and feel that
we did our duty.
"There are not many of us left
now. We had 827 members when the
post reached its peak. and there are
two of the original members left.
The other btembers have since'
joined. We remember those who
have been with us. and it is with a
sense of sorrow that we

"We remember mistily the days of
the war. We were discharged 61 years
ago. That is a long time. but we well
remember war days. The army did
its duty. We are new one country.
a united people and a prosperous
nation. The dead members of the G.
A. It..did their duty and the living
ones are now doing their part. I
never heard a veteran say he was
sorry for his war services. No matter
how badly he was hurt. or whether
he was in pain. or sighiless or
maimed, he never regretted the bit
he did for his country." '
Ex-Sehgoant Ray Warme, veter-
an of the World's War. recited “Lin-
coln‘s Gettysburg Address.”
Commander Davis followed with
an appreciation of thanks to the
club members.

Commander Batterson of the Few-

he gave a brief history of the part
