In the last decade, the Federal Government has become involved in supporting children's services on a scale previously unknown. During this time, the Government has significantly changed the nature of its support. The constant changes to the Children's Services Program and particularly the restructuring of the Program in recent years have created heated debate about the role of the Federal Government in this field. At the heart of this debate are different perceptions and interpretations of children's needs and rights and who is responsible for meeting them. Because "children's welfare" is such an emotive topic, these different perspectives are often not clarified. The debate, therefore, is often confused and is reduced to arguments solely about levels of funding rather than the principles on which funding should be based and the priority which should be given to young children in the development of policy. In this paper we attempt to identify and clarify some of the changes in, and the diversity of, the debates about children's needs, rights and responsibilities. In doing so, we seek to establish the reasons why early childhood is an important phase in human development. We then attempt to illustrate that the Federal Government has taken initiatives in the field of child welfare; that its reasons for doing so have been different from reasons for States' intervention; and that usually such initiatives have reflected political expediency rather than well founded concern about children's welfare. Results of surveys on child care arrangements conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics show that child care is required by the majority of families and its widespread use gives it the characteristics of a public utility rather than a welfare service. Two-thirds of children of pre-school age are in care at some time during the week and close to 40 per cent of these experience more than one type of care. Although the highest use of care is made by families where both parents are employed, child care is used by other ...

The experience of GILS-GLSP demonstrates that the extensive investment of time necessary to involve the organized bar in the legal services effort can make a vital contribution to the development of a stable, professional, statewide, legal services program. Bar support eases access to the political process, improves community relations, and facilitates program funding. Furthermore, bar support helps reduce the political strife that has heretofore plagued legal services programs. The rewards of such an approach can be great. Adequate funding obtained with active bar support has enabled GILS-GLSP to provide increasingly comprehensive legal services to indigent clients. From a modest budget of 216,000 dollars in 1970-71, the funds available to GILS-GLSP grew to 1,200,000 dollars in 1973-74. State bar leaders have persuaded the Georgia State Legislature to appropriate ever increasing amounts as a local matching share for GILS-GLSP, and at this writing the projected budget for GILS is 1,500,000 dollars for the program in 1974-75. Of equal importance, confidence in continued bar support has permitted the program to deemphasize such traditional legal aid areas as domestic relations and become more effective to the indigent client community by moving heavily into fields such as housing, consumer protection, and welfare rights." By the end of 1973, GILS-GLSP had forty-one full-time staff attorneys providing these comprehensive legal services throughout Georgia. Because the proposed Federal Legal Services Corporation Act mandates greater state bar participation in the formulation and management of legal services programs, the example of GILS-GLSP should give all legal services advocates greater confidence that bar participation can assist in building a strong legal services program. While the yellow brick road of bar support may contain some pitfalls, the potential results of comprehensive legal services to the indigent of our nation justifies the effort.

Bibliography: leaves 199-207. ; This survey aims at reflecting the historical development of the Carnegie Non- European Library, from 1950 known as the Non-European Library Service, Transvaal, and attempts to evaluate the contribution of a small private library organization to the development of library services for Africans in South Africa. Since 1931 the (Carnegie) Non-European Library Service, Transvaal, has been engaged in its self-appointed task of promoting the reading habit and the use of libraries among Non-Whites, and amongst Africans in particular. The administering Committee consists of officials from government, provincial and municipal authorities as well as representatives of various organizations, who all serve in a voluntary capacity. With their active assistance and interested co-operation a considerable amount of work has been achieved despite the many difficulties encountered. The (Carnegie) Non-European Library Service, Transvaal, administered its own lending library services between 1931 and 1962; encouraged the training of Non-Whites for library work; entered the publishing field to produce two hand- books of library methods and two books for children written in the Bantu languages. The administering Committee has also provided many opportunities for the exchange of information on various aspects of library development for Non- Whites, and particularly for Africans. In its efforts to promote through reading, the intellectual development of the African, and so further his understanding of the cultures of his own peoples and other civilizations, the (Carnegie) Non- European Library Service, Transvaal, has also emphasised the role of the library in the African's spiritual quest for cultural awakening and upliftment.

Sigmon begins the paper by stating that there are many public issues that are not receiving adequate attention by governmental and private organizations, including: nutritional problems, illiteracy, housing, health care, and lack of educational opportunities. Sigmon proposes that service-learning is a method to help our community while also learning many useful things. He describes the success he has had in North Carolina with his internship program and encourages the people of Alabama to increase student involvement with public need based learning. He concludes by saying that service-learning can develop servant-leaders who will take the risks, imagine the ideologies, and provide the structures so that society can improve.
