' - Turning from these cases of children neglected because par ents with sufficient funds failed to consider their needs, or show an interest .in them. Miss Bowen told of the case of a boy aided by A Kiwanis club in another town who has made good and -so made the Kiwanis club interest pay div , ldends. - Members may I assist by personal attention and interest, Miss Bowen suggested. Chief needs of the welfare com mission to meet the needs under .present conditions were listed as ' more probation officers, more Child welfare workers so such cas es as mentioned could have been prevented before they happened; and better legislation Need for an institution to take care of children not wanted in present institutions because they are delinquent was voiced by the speaker.
