Phone 42 ‘"We all know that children will be children, and that they delight in mischief â€"and to play < where they should not, and that this roaming of the streets at night is not proper for young _ children. Every _ sensible parent should keep their children off the streets at night, If parents do not realize their obligations and duâ€" ties to their children, the authorities should adopt a curfew byâ€"law, or some other system whereby the childâ€" ren will not be allowed to tramp the streets to such untimely hours. After eight o‘clock no youngster should be on the streets, unless accompanied by some adult. The public, the parents and the children would profit considâ€" erably by a curfew, and more especiâ€" ally the children, because it is a wellâ€" known fact that the‘ ordinary child brought up on the streets, and parâ€" ticularly so at nights, as a rule folâ€" low the ways so learned in future life and .so are liable to become of no use to themselves and a source of worry to their parents, and to the authorities who are trying to adminis= ter law and order.

There was a fire at the residence of Mr. Tony Preste, 31 Elm street, on Oct. dth, 1916.

A little boy, who was asleep in the upâ€" per storey, was> awakened by the. smoke and gave the alarm. In a few minutes the house was a mass of filames. The fire department, howâ€" ever, was soon on the seene, and unâ€" der the able supervision of Fire Chief Hill two lines of hose were quickly laid and brought to play upon the flames. ‘Only the prompt action of the volunteer brigade prevented ‘the. fire from spreading to the adjoining houses. ~The house and contents were totally ‘ destroyed. Owing to the rapidity with which the house burnâ€" ed, the only thing possible to save was a sewing machine. The Preste house was practically new, and the loss was close to $2,000.00.â€" Furniâ€" ture in a nearby house was damaged to the extent of about $300.00, while the loss at a third place close to the Preste house was around $50.00.
