Phones 12 & 13 Distinguished Psychiatrists to isit Hospital Whitby will early in June be honored by a visit from sOme of the most outstanding psychia- trists in Europe who are com- ing to Canada to attend the an- unal convention of the Ameri- can Psychiatric Association, the sessions of which will be held in Toronto. The distinguished visitors have planned to pay a visit to the Ontario Hospital here and _ it is possible that one of their Jeasions will be held in Whit. ye. » From all parts of the world these men who have made a study of mental disorders will come to attend the convention, and the gatheving is rega as one of the most important to visit the Queen City this year. Tt is natural that while in Can- ada they should want to see one of the finest mental hos. Pitals on the continent, No Money For Whitby Harbor in the Estimates There is no money in the es- timates tabled in the House of Commons on Monday for har- bor improvements at Whitby, Three weeks ago, in a letter to Mayor Bowman, the minis. ter of public works, Honorable H. A. Stewart, intimated that while Whitby's claims for har- bor dredging, breakwater re- pairs and filling in of marsh lands as made to him when he visited the town last fall, had been considered when the esti- mates were under considera- tion, it was found that owing to the need for drastic economy this year no money could be provided for work at Whitby. The Town Council at a spe- cial meeting Tuesday night, as noted elsewhere in this issue, decided to make an effort to have the town's claims recon sidered with a view to having money placed in the supple- mentary estimates which will be brought down a few weeks hence. TOWN LOOKING FOR THANKS FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT Although the Whitby Fire Department answered calls to a neighboring Township last week, the farmers who bene- fitted from the good work done have not as yet "'return- ed to give thanks." This fact was mentioned at the special meeting of Council on Tuesday evening. The town, by request, it was pointed out, sent out its ex- pensive equipment to the township, and succeeded in saving considerable valuable property. The hope was expressed that at least a card of thanks, it not a cheque or two, would be forthcoming ere many moons. The town has no agreement with adjoining townships with regard to answering fire calls, WHITBY HIGH SCHOOL REPORT The results of examinations held in the school recently are as fol- lows: ' Form V--French Authors--M, Mc- Arthry 93, B.

Those at the menting were: Mayor C. E, Bowman, Reeve Albert W. Jackson, Couns. W. M, Pringle, Wm. Davidson, Fred T. Rowe, James H. Ormiston, Robert Reid and Fred Landon. The ap- pointments as adopted will be ef- fective May 1st of this year. * The Council discussed in com- mittee of the whole matters re- specting the fire department, par- ticularly as they relate to the op- eration of the equipment which has not been satisfactory for some time past. The clerk was {instructed to write the present fire engineers, Messrs, Willlam and Richard Heard, asking them for their res- ignations, same to take effect, Apyll 30th.

There is the case of Mary L--who found work in Toronto some time ago and considered herself a par. ticularly fortunate girl. And she would have been, if she had not made friends with some young peo- ple who, to say the least, were not good. Evil practices are infectious; Mary soon found herself in trouble and suddenly left her job, She felt the disgrace of her mis- step, and her spirit was nearly broken. One day however, her plight was discovered, and she was taken to a Salvation Army home. She remained for several months and was cared for in body and spirit. Mary, still under Army super- vision. went to a job. She has learn- ed her lesson and today is getting along splendidly, The Police court workers of the organization devote their time to interviewing those about to appear before the bench and plead for those for whom they eonsider leni- ency and care to more bene. ficial than a prison term. The Judges in the various. centres in which this activity is carried on, speak very highly of the effective- ness of the work. Officers are speci- ally entrusted with the aftercare of the delinquents to The Army from the courts. Adjutant May Bridge, who is the Army's representative in the Tor- onto Women's Court will be visit- April 22, and will 'deliver a most interesting public Jecture on police court work, in'its reformative as- be. the guest] ber of ing Whitby on Wednesday evening, | pect, in the Army Hall, Brock St, at 8 o'clock. She handles hundreds of cases yearly in her work. and the inci- dents she will relate on Wednesday will be full of human interest, and indicative of the value of such work amongst the unfortunate. MOVING TO WHITBY The Brockville Recorder and Times of Saturday last, had the following of local interest: "Brockville citizens regret the departure today of Mrs. Hetty M. Lewis and daughter, Miss Marjory B. Lewis, 12 Beecher street, who! leave by motor to take up resi- dence in Whitby.

Lewis was also a teacher in the Collegiate Institute here for sev- eral years and continued until ill- health forced her leaving the staff a couple of years ago. It is pleas- ing to note that Miss Lewis' health Is improving, a condition which her many friends hope will continue. Both Mrs, Lewis and Miss Lewis are deservedly popular among wide circles of acquaintances. Possess- ing charming and gracious disposi- tions, both have made many warm and sincere friends who regret their departure. In leaving Brock- ville for Whitby Mrs. Lewis and her daughter will be accompanied bv son and brother, Alderman D, E. Lewis, who will be absent from town over the week-end.
