On Saturday evening, shortly after dark, a horse and buggy driven by Wilfrid McMaster of Utopia. was struck by a car driven by A. F. Gar- rett just south of the tannery. Both vehicles were going south at the time. No one was injured. The springs and swivel of the front axle of the bu_q;:_v were broken and the rear axle badly twisted. The marks on the pavement made by the push- ing sideways of the buggy by the ear indicate that McMaster was drivim,-' less than a yard from the \\'('St curb. Mr. McMaster was alone in the bugggv.

Buckland paid high tribute to the work that is being done in Simcoe County along welfare work and particularly in connection with the Children s Aid Society. The territory covered by Mr. Justice, our Inspector,` is double the size of some territories, where three men are employed, and where the work is not done as well as in Simcoe. Mr. Justice should haye an assistant or a stenographer to carry on the work, said Capt. Buckland. done in Simcoe County show that there is no County in the Province where better work is done. During the last few years much greater in- terest is being taken in child welfare work and the Children s Aid Society is an important factor. Since 1891 no less than 24,000 children have been taken care of. At the present time there are 8,008 children in the shelters throughout the province. Capt. Buckland told of some of the various ways and means that are employed in carrying on the work. The main tliing` was to enlist the sympathy of the whole territory, and to have an executive that is inter, ested and will be active. By having the sympathy of the people much help can be received in the way of good second hand clothing` and pro- visions. In this way the cost of ad- ministration can be greatly lessened. With the passinfr of the Unmarried Parents Act in 1921, the work of the Childrr.-n s Aid Society lzas been greatly increased, as the Inspectors have harge of this work now also. Up to the present 2000 cases have been settled and $67,800 collected last year. This year it is expr-ctr-d that the amount will reach $100,000. The work is not a pleasant one for the inspector, but it is for the sake of the unfortunate children that it is brine` done. The sup:-rvisor also `hinted that still more work would he add to the inspector s duties when the bill now in course of be- coming law to have all immimant children inspected and under the supervision of child welfare work was in force. Whether new machin- ery would be created by the Govern- ment to take charge of this work or not, Capt. Buckland could not say, but it was plainly seen that more help would have to be provided for the Inspectors if the work was to be `carried on successfully.

A band whose musicians are all boys of 18 and under, with com- positions by one of the members in- cluded in its repertoire, is one of the unusual features of the Kiwanis eon- vention. This organization, the Bar- rie Collegiate Band, provivled the music at tile Kiwanis banquet in the Royal Connaught hotel and aroused much favorable comment from the` delegates. District Governor 1`an- guay was particularly llatteringz: to tlte youthful musicians. One number! given was The Barrie Collegiate March, composed by Char]-:-s Cross- land, a 17-year-old member of the band. The leader is Boyd Sylvester. The boys were lirought by truck from Barrie by the Kiwanians of that town, and performed yesterday afternoon and in the evening. 'l'l\r_-y led the parade of to the] theatre party at the Savoy. Only onel or two of the boys knew anything: of music when the band was org'a:1- ized last December. Tl`.'0i1' remark- able achievement in attaining their present hi::l1 standard is due solely to constant work. The band made its first public appezmmee last sprinp: and was a contestant in the class C competition at this year's National Exhibition." u.......u.-uu.
