Vol. LXIX. N6. 42. C SOCIAL SERVICE 34 womc IN ONTARIOQ i 1 Kiwanis Club Hears Aboutil Phases of `V01.-k Being Undertaken. Some phases of social work being done in Ontario were discussed by Gilbert Agar of the Social Service Department at Kiwanis on Friday. In this connection Mr. Agar paid! high tribute to the work Kiwanis Clubs_ are doing. Next to Church, Kiwanis Clubs have the highest ideals. The work of the Social Service Association is in con- nectdon with community work, and its ideals are along the lines of K1. wanis undertakings, and should he linked up as far as possible. The community may be recognized as a hamlet ,a village, a town, a city- the world is a community, and com- munity work is necessary wherever the C urn 0'0 . We g0. L Mr. Agar told of surveys thar 1 have been made in various parts of ( the province. A year ago two qua1i~ 1 ed nurses and a dentist spent: several weeks in the township of: Nottavcasaga, where c0ndi?ions were 3 studied, the schol children examined` and cla.~'sied. Rrzports were given ,- to each child to be taken to their parents. The result of that surve, is now bearing: fruit. Collingwood doctors now report that a great many of those children examined, are presenting their cards and seek-7 inn` ml\'ir'e and trezrment. .1n ILIII Vllluananu - - 2 i Alleged to have fraudulently pro- ' cured goods and cash from three Barrie merchants, Wilson Knicely came up before Magistrate Jeffs {Thursday morning for trial.

One of the best` sporting events of the year took place last night in the Armouries, when a boxing tournament, promoted by Ed. Shuter, was staged by the Canadian Legion. An enthusiastic crowd attended and was well rewarded, as every bout was full of interest and good box- ing. The feature of the evening was the bout between the western Big Boy Bulmer, of Saskatchewan, and Woolley, champion of Ontario, which proved to be a real battle. ;The Legion was well pleased with the aittendiance and success of the ' enterprise, as all proceeds are for ' the relief of indigent ex-soldiers ' during the present winter.
