No. 37 :;-:::--- EKIWANIANS PLAN ` FOR BOYS wonxi >x<>x<>x<>x -xog l I _ A definite step towards undertak- ing work for under-privileged boys was taken by the Kiwanis Club of 5Barrie last night at a Ladies Night :and celebration of the t annivers- fary. of the Club's formation. A com- gmittee, consisting of A. G. MacLel- Elan (chairman), Rev. S. M. Beach, :Fred Otton, D. F. McCuaig and A. F. 'A. Malcomson, was appointed. These ` will formulate plans for looking after ,-boys as is bengdone by nearly all the Kiwanis Clubs in Canada and the? IU`nited States. ! ` 1 I Boy-Welfare Movement This action followed a very im- pressive address by Kiwanian Hugh` ;Murray of London, who is devoting. ga great deal of his time to the pro- motion of the boy-welfare move-! fment. Mr. Murray's stories of whati `had been done for boys of London,i ;told in a simple, unaffected way,i igripped his audience and left upon! `them a very deep impression of the' `magnificent work Kiwanians are do- ging along this line, with untold bene- ft to the lads and with great enrich-g H ment to their own lives. . Miss Ida Creswicke, lady golf champion of Simcoe County, and Mrs. A. Leslie are competing in the Canadian ladies closed golf cham- pionship tournament in Montreal this week. -Yesterday Miss Creswicke V was still in the running in the Fifth Consolation series, while Mrs. Leslie was down to the fours in the Fourth '.Conso_lation. Miss Creswicke is in the nal of the Fifth Consolation. The tournament was played over the course `of `the Royal Montreal Golf j Club. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Mur-3 `ray s address, Dr. Lewis and F`. `*1-Iurlburt moved the appointment of ! `the special committee, at the same {time expressing a desire that the `Barrie Club should avail `itself of any opportunities to help the under- iprivileged boys get a fair chance. Fraternal Visit In addition to being anniversar'_v* and Ladies"Night, the occasion was also marked by a visit from West To- I I I `rontomembers and their wives, about! forty of whom were present. Alto-i gether 135 sat down to the supperl which was served in the I. O. O. F.! banquet hall. Kiwanian Pro Boys! was chairman. The visitors were; welcomed by Arthur Smith, respons-I es being made by B1ake_Hal1iday,I past president `of the West Toronto! Club, and Eric Harris of the Down [Town Club, Toronto. l The muoic consisted of solos by? Harry Barron, Alouette (with solo} by Blake Halliday), and other chor-~ uses. { - An attendance prize for the ladies! fell to the lot of Mrs. `W. 0. McKin-! non. It was a sandwich tray of Ven-I etian glass presented by A. H. Felt.'\ Much amusement was caused by the] presentation of the men's attendance} prize of a pipe organ (harmonica)! and the lesson by Edmund Hardyi which accompanied it. ` .. .. .. I l Dring the afternoon there was` `clock golf for the ladies, golf at the Country Club for the men and a soft ballmatch between Barrie and Tor-l onto, the latter winning, 13 to 12. Fred Topping had the best score in` 'golf., while Miss Cooke and Mrs. E. 'Gle_nn- were tied in the=clock golf. To each of these a prize was pre-I sented. inmuua cou-`ans compare I i m CANADIAN rounumnnri , 7 . . , He severely condemned the so-I i called reformatory system for dealing |with wayward boys. Few lads came; iout of Mimico after doing a term; ;without being hardened criminals._l lIf Kiwanians will start a movement} {which will help our juvenile offend-i {em from being sent to Mimico, they! gC0llld do nothing better for On- ltario, declared Mr. Murray. : Boys Making Good 3. The London Kiwanis Club under- 1-took to `look after the boys of theirl lsoldiers who `had been killed inf jFrance. They have had a large num-1 ;ber of these boys under their care,l |equipping` them and preparing them; {to become one hundred per cent.; iCanadian citizens. Ninety-five per` :cent. of their boys are making good.` }In Ontario and Quebec, Kiwaniansl ?now have over 500 boys which they! lare educating, clothing, taking care` {of and making into useful citizens, `Could any work be more worthy of; ,a _man s efforts? It is a wonderfulf l privilege and those participating get: more out of it than they ever put in-: to it;_ though it means oftentimes; igreat sacrifice. Mr. Murray conclud-_ led by _asking the ladies to get behindf iany movement which might be start-`M ged for the under~privi1eg_ed. l -.1 . .. -- ...- ailluvuo Following the` supper a couple of hours were -very pleasantly spent in dancing, at Stayner orchestra provid- ing the music. :Committee Named For I This; i V _ on First Anniversary of _ !

F. Garrett, the propri- etor, expects to have the house open- ed by the week after next. The in- terior work is progressing very well. The seats and heating system are be- ing installed this week and the n- ishing touches Will be put` on next week. It may be that the grand op- ening will be announced for the lat- `ter part of this coming week. The big sign bearing the name of the theatre has been put in place and is M lvisible for some distance. Boys building res to cook` corn caused a blaze on the Commons at the head of Brock St., Saturday at noon, which necessitated a run for. the remen to extinguish it. The fire was threatening some buildings in the near vicinity and someone more anxious than the rest, turned in an alarm. The work was done in short order. ` -PEACHES--Carload of peaches at Buchanan's for Friday and Sat- urday. ` - ` 37c ` i Charlie Bee1by s quartette of kit-i ty-trundlers from the Barrie Bowl- ing Club won second prize at Totten- _ham bowling tournament yesterdayl {afternoon and evening, the local ex-I iperts bringing" back with them beau-, I l tiful cut-glass berry bowls as evid- ence of their prowess.
