Foster Grandmas E xperts in `S poling'

Because she has plenty of love
to go around, Mrs. John Farkus
has managed to be mother to two,
grandmother to six, foster mother to
30 and now a "grandma" all over
again—to two youngsters who have
no grandmother of their own.
Mrs. Mark King is no novice
either. When she was in charge of
the Bargman Home, under the au-
spices of the Jewish Family arra
Children's Service, there were
some 57 children under her care.
Now Mrs. King plays grandmother
to a 6-year-old boy.
The two women are among 38
"foster grandparents" engaged in
a pilot project at the St. Vincent-
Fisher Home in Farmington. The
project is based on a simple prem-
ise: take a youngster from a bro-
ken home, give him a grandpar-
ent's love, and he'll have a good
start in life.
Senior citizens engaged in the
project get transportation to the
home, are paid $1.50 an hour for
a four-hour "work" day. As Mrs.
King points out, however, "the
$1.50 is not so important as see-
ing the children happy. I've seen
such an improvement in the
little boy I care for. In the morn-
ing, I walk him to school and
then I play with him. He really
amazes me, he's so smart. Loves
to do things with his hands. He's
going to be an inventor, I can
see it."
Mrs. King, of 19782 Monte Vista,
was a "cottage parent" with her
husband at the famous Bellefaire
home, in Cleveland, and a home

staff member in Minneapolis be-
fore coming to Detroit. She served
at the Bargman home here for 81/2
years. named Foster Parents
the Year by JFCS in 1964, the
couple has a son- and two grand-
children in New York.
Mrs. Farkus, a widow, describes
her "job" as one of reading, feed-
ing, "loving them and spoiling
them just like grandmas are sup-
posed to do." She was a foster par-
ent with the Jewish Family and

of

Fisher Home, although a Catholic
agency, services children of other
faiths, too. Foster grandparents
are between the ages of 60 and 76.
