It is unnecessary for me to point out the amount of work involved in the handling of these cases and their adjustmentâ€"the miles travelled and the correspondence handled is sulfiâ€" cient evidence of this. The comparative table of statistics presented shows that our Society‘s activities are increasing to such an exâ€" tent that it will be necessary before long to consider the advisability of forming a new District Society havâ€" ing jurisdiction over that part of Cochrane District served byâ€"the Canâ€" adian National Transâ€"continental Railâ€" way from the Quebee border to Naâ€" kinaâ€"the distances are so great and theâ€"need of being in closer touch with the settlers in North Cochrane so necessary that it is impossible for one officer to give this immense district the attention it requires. The terriâ€" tory administered to by our Society at present is many times greater in extent than any other in Ontario. I\Ve have in common with other Norâ€" 11 10 thern Ontario districts, sections that are almost inaccessible and courts that are held, in mest instances, only: once a weekâ€"two features that imâ€" pede the prompt handling of cases that should have immedate attenâ€" tion. The territory that is now covered by our Society has an apâ€" proximate area of 30,000 square miles that is accessible and populated; the population is about 60,000 ; from east to west it is 550 miles, and from Yorkston on the south to Island Falls on the north it is over 100 muiles. Whilo the district is much greater than the figures given show, the popuâ€" lation is contained in the area dlescribâ€" ed. The population is not as great as iin some of the counties in the south but the number of children requiring our attention is immeasurably greater owing to the influx of settlers of all nationalities.~ I would suggest that branches ‘be established in Cochrane and Kapuskasing and that they take up the matter of forming a new district society with the Government. During the year just closed your Society has succeeded nlln(fllddng f Children‘s Shelter that is a credit to those who made it possible. Our thanks are due to the municipalities, mines, companies, societies, and inâ€" (hvuhufls'“ho helped to finance the building, and to the members of the Kiwanees Club for the wonderful work done by them in furnishing it. It is considered the best equipped shelter in Ontario. There are, at present, 13 children in residence who are receiving all the advantages that modern facilities af ford. During the year the acts dealing with matters pertaining to the welfare of children have been the subject of revision and amendment. The Childâ€" ren‘s Protection Act, The Adoption Act and the Children of Unmarmed Parents‘ Act have been beneficially amended. There has also been conâ€" siderable work done toward defining the Juvenile Court Districts to be administered by Judge Atkinson and Judge E. R. Tuckerâ€"both of these officials are judges under the Childâ€" ren‘s Protection Act, but as the terriâ€" tories served by them are interlooking and somewhat confused, the Attorâ€" ney General‘s Department is endeavyâ€" oring to have these territories clearly designated, so that there will be no confusion, and thereby greatly faciliâ€" tate the handling of cases under the Juvenile Delinqueney Act. _ In this connection we are greatly indebted to Mr. D. B. Harkness, Educational Secretary of the Social Service of Onâ€" tario, who has a remarkably clear grasp of our problems in Cochrane District. His assistance as intermediâ€" ary has been most benefical to this societv. As our activities and responsibiliâ€" ties increase, so, in like measure must{ our plans for taking care of them keep: paceâ€"heretofore we have dealt with our problems as well as we could with the limited means at our >disposal. Now we must make provision for takâ€" ing care of the obligations incident to the increase in our work. _ In this connection the following suggestions might well be considered:â€"(1) That a budget system of financing be adopted; (2) That a shelter commutâ€" tee ‘be appointed, ‘having complete supervision of the operation of the sHelter; (3) That the local superinâ€" tendent be relieved of a portion of his clerical duties which take time that should be devoted to field work. (This might be done by the appointment of a recording seereâ€" tary who would also act as treasurer) ; That means be devised for the enâ€" largement of the membership of the district society so that increased inâ€" terest in district work would result. ## *# ##4 ## *eastes *4 (Reâ€"decorated and with New Equipment) Bowling, Billiards, Cigars, Etc. â€"< : TO ALt â€" BEST ALLEY IN THE NORTH _ ate on ofl.oo wa" i4 * ** "*s**s*"*% ‘€ * “ ; ooouoouooo # " # x .’. .z?” oo.uoooooo a 00"000'0 0 ® u C * 00?£ oofcoouoouoofoo + ® * 00; *ee *ve‘ "Qo? + ® { ‘» ® «‘s AGTION WANTED FROM GOVERNMENT RE WOLVES Huntsville Fish Game Association Urges Increase in Wolf Bounty. Deer Situation Serious For weeks past The Advance has been urging attention to the the danâ€" ger of the extinction of the deer in this North Land through the depredaâ€" tion of wolves. Jack Miner, Canada‘s noted nature lover, says that it is a case of either the wolves or the deer. The New Liskeard Speaker referred to the slaughter of the deer by wolves in its district, where wolves are not supposed to be very prevalent usually but where this year their evil work is clearly evident. The Sault Ste. Marie Star has noted the wholesale killing of the deer by wolves. _ The Sudbury Star and The North Bay Nugget have made appropriate referâ€" ence to the danger of the extinetion of the deer. In a recent issue, The Mail and Empire sums up the Situaâ€" tion and the proposed remedy as folâ€" lows :â€" "Statisties furnished by the Ontaâ€" rio Department of Fish and Game show that for the three months ending January 31 bounties were paid on 3,â€" 310 wolves as compared with 2471 in the corresponding period of last year. But this does not prove that enough wolves were killed to ensure the preâ€" servation of deer in the forests. On the contrary, reports from all parts of the Province indicate the appearance of wolves in greater numbers than heretofore, and it is possible that the Department, if it could take a census of living wolves, would find the perâ€" centage of casualities less this year than last. ©‘The fact remains that numerous local fish and game protective associâ€" ations report that the deer are in danger of extinction from the ravages of wolves. Over 500 people present danger of extinction from the ravages of wolves. Over 500 people present at the annual meeting of the Huntsâ€" ville Association recommended that the bounty on wolves be increased from $15 to $40. It was stated that if nothing is done to check the grow â€" ing danger from wolves the deer of Ontario will become extinct in a comâ€" paratively short time. The members are familiar with conditions in the bush, and they particularly severe upon the management of Alâ€" gonquin Park. ‘‘Once the finest game preserve in Canada; it is now, accordâ€" ing to some of the speakers, nothing more than a@ breeding ground for .. i. h. stt t Padtva itp ie wolves. Deer had become almost exâ€" tinet, and furâ€"bearing animals were rapidly disappearigg.‘‘ A similar report from Sault Ste. Marie a few days ago stated that wolves were killâ€" ing off the deer in the finest bigâ€"game district of Algoma. These and other reports from citizens who have no inâ€" terest except to preserve the deer must carry conviction that the Govâ€" ernment is not doing engugh to end the menace from wolves. . Moreover, the deerâ€"hunting season last year was extended from two weeks to a full monthâ€" _ Instead of helping to preâ€" serve the deer, the Government by this action actually increased the facilities for slaughter. The Huntsâ€" ville Association, fully cognizant of the results, unanimously demanded the restoration of the shorter season. "It would be discreditable to the Province of Ontario if deer were perâ€" mitted to follow the fate of the butâ€" falo on the western prairies. _ The only way to preserve this beantiful, useful and barmless animal is to pay a bounty on wolves sufficiently large to attract hunters and trappers. The iTuntsville Association declares that it should be $40 a head.""‘ The â€" Humane real millenium will come when the pedesâ€" trian and the motorist shall be down together. Sudbury Star:â€"A local critic says he has long ago ceased to worry about short skirts, but he does wish that the girls would wear their waists a little longer.
