Stressing the need for trained leaders In child work, Miss Zimmerman briefly outlined the opportunities possible for homeless children, children from broken homes, nnd for children, one of whose parents is deceased or incapacitated. Miss Zimmerman stated that in y.ndison County aloue, 20 percent of the population receiving financial nid of some kind from the government or from private agencies. In describing the work of the department of child welfare, the speaker told of the annual appropriation which in apportioned in the various counties according to the rural population.

Madison, being mostly Industrial, and although it is the third most populous county in the state, does not receive as great, an amount from the state as (Jo rural counties. She stressed the need of work done by private agencies as well as thnt done by the stnte, because stnte funds are limited In their application. Beside money appropriated from the state for child welfare demonstrations, there is a mothers' pension which widows, or women with Incapacitated hus- bnnds, obtain a monthly allowance which enables them to remain at home with children. Miss Zimmerman said that delinquency cases were extremely rare in a home where the family lived by such an arrangement. Child delinquency usually arises from delinquent parents, she said, and not in a home where the mother is allowed time to take care of her own children.

Another source of money devoted to child welfare is the social security act, but has not yet been voted upon by the state legislature, she said. Miss Zimmerman deplored the necessity for stnte detention homes and told of the experierrmt underway by the welfare department.

A. Luer. Rotary Club Hears Dr. Cillie Dr. Francois S.

Cillie. director of studies at Monticello College, addressed Rotarians meeting Monday night at Mineral Springs Hotel. The speaker, who was born in South Africa of Huguenot descent talked of the urge toward freedom of speech and conscience, which he said, lay behind the Huguenot emigration from France in the 17th century. After briefly describing the founding of the first white settlement in South Africa, he traced the principle of freedom in that country. He laid stress on the support that South Africa, as an autonomous member of the British commonwealth of nations, was rendering Great Britain in the present war, in spite of the fact that a generation ago South Africa and Great Britain were at war with each other.

He attributed this to the fact that in South Africa there is functioning a principle of freedom which is one of the basic principles of democracy. Dr. Cillie contrasted American liberties with the complete lack of freedom In totalitarian Europe. Dr. Cillie continued hia address by suggesting that as long as we, in this country, continued to grant complete freedom of speech to such organizations as the Communist Party and the German-American Bund, they would never gain a large enough following to become in any way dangerous to the commonweal.

"Ideologies of the type which these groups endorse," said the speaker, "tend to flourish in the darkness of suppression and lack of freedom." A democratic community which grants the right of free speech to all the people thereby imposes upon itself a solemn duty, he said, and concluded by quoting the words which Voltaire made famous: "I disagree with everything you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." At the close of the meeting two former members were reinstated into the club: William F. Bull, and Roy Wagstaff. A new member, Isadore Weinshienk, was taken into the club. Msgr. W.
