The origin of the fire"fs not known as yet. The fire had a good headway before an alarm was made, and even after it was noticed little could be done to stop the progress of the h‘e as Barber‘s Bay naturally has ng very extended fireâ€"fighting equipment or brigade. The Russian who owned the store was asleep inside when thefire was disâ€" eovered, and a window had to be smashed to reach him and drag him to safety. .‘The building and contents were practically all destroyed, the loss truuning into the thousands of dollars; FIRE DESTROYED STORE AT BARBER‘S BAY ON FRIDAY i IMr, J. J. Kelso, nmnow the headâ€"of the Children‘s Aid Societies in Onâ€" tario, was a reporter on The Toronto Globe some twentyâ€"five years ago. He was delegated by The Globe to write a series of articles on slum conditions, etc., in thecity. The plight of so many children, poorly nourished, lackâ€" ing education, often neglected and abused, and with practically no chancee for the better things of lifeâ€"the plight of these inoffending children‘ made special appeal to Mf. Kelso. He thought they should have a chance in life. He felt very deeply that it would pay the people of Ontario to see that these children had a fair chanee,â€" pay from the economical standpoint as well as from the humanitarian,â€" and above all that it would pay from the viewpoint of good citizenship. Children growing up neglected physic ally, morally and mentally, become eventually a burden and a menace to the state. From Mr. Kelso‘s earnest efforts to do something to right conâ€" ditions there grew the beginning of the Children‘s Aid Society of Ontaâ€" ria. This society may be briefly sumâ€" med up as a society whose purpose is to see that every child has a fair chance in lifeâ€"that ewery chAd gets an opportunity for a~fair education, for proper envitonment and for deâ€" cent physical and moral eare. This is the work of the Timmins Branch of the Children‘s Aid Society. Is there a single good citizen who can find fault with such a work? Since its organmzation here some months ago, the Timmins Branch of the Children‘s Aid Society has done much â€"good work. Owing to the naâ€" ture of the work, too much publicity can not be given to the details. Through the efforts of the Timmins C.A.S. many childrea have been given a fair chanee for the better thirgs of life and many homes in the vicinity have been improved. Several ecases where children needed medical or surâ€" gical treatment have been attended to, and other help along these lines is planned. â€" The work needs and deâ€" serves the wholeâ€"hearted support of all and will assuredly rgeeive this support when the purposes and meâ€" thods of the C.A.S. are fully underâ€" stood. In the first place it may not be out of place to mention what the €C€hildren‘s Aid IS NOT! It is not an organization for ‘"*taking. children away from their homes.‘‘, Many peoâ€" ple thoughtlessly accept this idea of the work, but it is farindeed from the truth. The whole purpose of the C.A.S. is to have eagh and every child in tis own home and have that home of the best possible type so that the child‘s chances are the best for deâ€" veloping into good citizenship. The C.A.S. does not believe in institutions for childrep: Its idea is that a *‘ home‘‘ is necessary for each child and that the nation and humanity alike owe the child that home. If the home where a child may happen to be proves immoral or evil in its influâ€" ences, then the C.A.8. effort is to have that home improved. ~Only when imâ€" provement seems impossible is there thoucht of taking away the child, and thought of taking away the child, and then only to place the youngster in a foster home where care and thought and kindness and a chance for the better things of life will be available. Also, the C.A.S8. IS NOT a society of interfering folk who like to meddle with the affairs of others. ‘The work of the C.A.8. is to see that every child has a fair chanee in life, and work to that end is surely neither meddlesome nor ‘objectionable. Instead, it is geâ€" nuine patriotic work. In the children lie the hope of the nation, and to see that every child has a chance for the better things of life is surely the best type of patriotic endeavor. ‘That is the work of the C.A.S. Would Have Still Greater Usefulness If All Understood the Society‘s Efforts. here some Branch of has done to the naâ€" i publicity Before Magistrate Atkinson â€" on Thursday, Vasal Grelka, Mrs. Vasal Gulka and Mrs. Dumka Donayuck apâ€" peared for ppreliminary trial on a charge of assaulting Annie Mintivaâ€" ski. The assault took place on Aug. 27th. and the case had been adjourned until last Thursday on account of the fact that the victim of the assault was too seriously injured to appear preâ€" viously in eourt. On Thursday the injured woman had to be carried into the court, the results of the injuries received making it impossible for her to walk. The evidence suggested that she had been hit on the head, body and limbs with sticks of wood and rather‘ badly battered up. A twelveâ€" yearâ€"old lad in cogrt said that he had hit the woman, knocking her down, and that after thsi some of the others strueck her with sticks of wood, clubs or stones. ‘The police ca€e, however, is based on the theory that it was not twelveâ€"yearâ€"olds tat caused ‘the seâ€" rious injuries suffered. The woman was on her way home when set upon, and the cause for the assault is not clear, except in so far as it is evident that some one did not altogether wish the lady well. The accused man and two women were committed for trial beforz the Judge. / __Mr. J. K. Moore faced two charges of breach of, the O.T.A., both being connected \with the sale of ‘‘*Vital Tonic,‘‘ which the polic¢e elaimed had been sold for beverage purposes while containing over 20 per cent. alcohol. In the firstâ€"case, a man swore to buyâ€" ing the wine or tonic and later being arrested for being intoxicated, the poâ€" lice preserving part of the bottle as evidence. On this charze Mr. Moore was fined $200.00 and eosts. It is unâ€" derstood he will ap;â€"eal the case. The second charge was dismissed, the evidence â€"of the chief witness being flatly contradicted throughout by Mr. Moore and the Magistrate in summing ap saying that, lacking outside corâ€" roboration he must take the word of Mr. Moore as a reputable business man against that of the other witness who was under sentence for a criminâ€" al offence. . MAN AND TWO wOMEN SENT FOR TRIAL FOR ASSAULT piaces,. The police court procesdings here, apart from the cases for which the ‘‘specials‘‘ were â€" responsible had much of special interest. There were four men fined for gambling in a puâ€" blic place, the fine being $4.00 each and costs. Two drunken drunks were each fined $20.00 and costs while an intoxicated drunk esaaped with $10.00 and eosts. A local citizen for not obâ€" serving the town <byâ€"law regarding lights on his car paid $2.00 and costs. Mary Klem had charged her husbangd, Joe Klem, with assaulting her, but Mary hadn‘t the heart to press the charge. Perhaps the police told Mary to knock the block off Joe if he bothâ€" ered her any. In any case Mary withâ€" drew the charge and everything is pleasant and delightful in the Klem domicile. A great number of the ceases were charges of immorality against cerâ€" tain women and men in South Poreuâ€" pine, Schumacher, Moneta and Matâ€" tagami. ‘These eases of keeping or frequenting â€" disorderly houses were prought forward through the work of a couple of ‘"*special agents‘‘ known more familiarly as "‘spotters."‘ These two gentleman were understood to be set to work by Chief Melnnis of South Poreupine to clean up the blind pigs, ete. They had a long list of charges of the breaking of the O.T.A., all right, all right, but in addition they were ready with information in regard to the disorderly houses. Folâ€" lowing the activities of these two ‘*specials‘‘ raids were made last week by the poltee and a number of arrests made and charges laid both for illegal liquor handling and for breaches of morality. Mr. Bull, the wellâ€"knowan barrister of North Bav. was in the Thaursday was a more than usually busy day at the police court in Timâ€" mins and ‘Magistrate Atkinson ‘did not bave any spare time during his visit to this camp last week. Indeed the court at South Poreupine took up so much time that it was found necessâ€" ary to continue the session until the "*wee sma‘ oors‘‘ of Friday morning. barrister of North Bay, was in the camp to appear for some of the deâ€" fendants while nearly every barrister hereabouts had a case or two one way or another in connection with the acâ€" tivities. of}\ these **special"" fellows. Mr. Bull laid special emphasis on the way in which the ""specials"‘ secured their evidence in the disorderly houses ceases. They admitted that while makâ€" ing appointments they did not go back and had no intention of going back. Mr. Bull‘s contention was that in such a case the charges could not be sustained. All the cases were adâ€" journed for a week to allow of auâ€" thorities being consulted on the points at issue. In the meantime the aceused men and women are out on bail. ‘It will be noted that none of these cases were from Timmins, the ‘‘specials"‘ only findinge wickedness in nearby LARGE NUMBER OF CASES AT POLICE COURT LAST WEEK THE PORCUPINE ADVANOE contention e charges ( 8 Many in Timmins who were acâ€" quainted with MrHarry Green, formâ€" er fire chief of Cobalt, learned with sincere regret of his death at the hbome of his sister in Toronto‘last week.
