World While visiting in Regina over the Christmas holiday it was quite a coincidence when Paul and I met Barbara Plumb and her two daughters, Sharon and Linda in the Bay. After a brief conversation we were invited to visit with the Plumb's in their new home at 89 Martin Street, Regina, Saskatchewan. We had the pleasure of visiting with the Plumb's Christmas Day and were very happy to hear that Bill is working for the Saskatchewan Geological Survey, Barbara is busy establishing their new home and Sharon and Linda are enrolled in schools nearby and are doing extremely well. Bill and Barbara and their family wish a very Happy New Year to all their friends in Cassiar and extend an invitation to their home to anyone who is in their area. While spending our last few days holidays in Van- couver we went to the Ship of the Seven Seas for a feast and to our surprise Sandy Crawford and Don Miller were happily filling their plates. Sandy said that she had finished writing her Christmas exams and was quite sure she had passed them all but University was hard work and she looks forward to coming back to Cassiar and working for the summer. Don thought Vancouver was alot of fun but kind of expensive so would be returning to Cassiar shortly.

FOI III III IA $17.00 a month provides the family with a monthly cash grant, distribution of goods such as vitamins, blankets, towels, soap and other useful items, medical and dental care, the sustained. guidance and counselling of social workers and the benefit of special programs. A‘strong emphasis is placed on education. All Foster Children (and their brothers and sisters, if possible) must attend school. Vocational training courses are ~ available to Foster Children, their brothers and sisters and in some cases, their parents. The aim is to give the, family the tools to help them become independent and self-supporting. Special programs adapted to the needs of each country also meet these aims. Foster Parents and Foster Children correspond mon... thly (letters are translated by PLAN) and often develop warm and affectionate relationships which mean as much to the child as the material and financial aid. Foster Parents Plan is currently working in ten countries in South America and Asia. Over 50,000 chil- dren are currently being aided by individuals, groups, and families in Canada, the U.S.A. and Australia.
