But she outwitted him. When he gave one of the children a few dollars with which to make purâ€" chases at the store, the mother folâ€" lowed her son, after cauticning the lad to wait for her at the store, and then both had departed. She cannot be orâ€" dered back to the place, although the law wou‘ld take prompt and energetic %tion ofi children were received to the number of 22, there were, on an averâ€" age, 28 children in the Shelter here leach month, with four more boarding out. In round numbers, 100 children passed through the Shelter in the ccurse of a year, Mr. Carson said. Common Causes for Action \ _ ‘"Immorality, neglect and dssertion are the most common causes for action on the part of the society," the secreâ€" tary stated. He added that "it is alâ€" | ways the aim of the society to save the and the children are never 4eâ€" moved if poverty is the only c@use for complaint. Assistance is given to the ' parents to care for the children in their \own homes, in order that they may grow up to be useful members of |society." Mr. Macdonald declared that |he regarded the society "not merely as |a moneyâ€"spending organization, but a | body whose main object is to help peoâ€" ple along the way." Cost of operating Ithe society fox:_ a year is approximately figures show, and grants from the provincial arthorities and from the municipalities, together with the amounts paid over for maintenance acâ€" count for about twoâ€"fifths of this sum. ‘The balance has to be raised from the people of the district at large, and the branches of the society in Porcupine and Iroquois Falls assist very materiâ€" ally in obtaining the required amounts each year. A campaign fund in Porecuâ€" ‘pine brought in $2.671.75, while the I branches at Iroquois Falls and at Anâ€" | sonville raised $577.96, according to the ‘last annual report. | Many Cases of Desertion ‘‘Many cases of desertion come to the attention of the secretary in a year, and Mr. Carson reports that there is "very little difference in the type of cases, only there are more." Frequently these involve questions of a somewhat perplexing nature, as was instanced in once case that came to the attention of the society. In this particular exâ€" ample, the woman was the deserting parent, contrary to the usual run of these cases, and she had left her husâ€" band, home and seven children, the latter including a sixâ€"monthsâ€"old baby. The husband was not any too anxious to have her came back to his house, but he did want her prosecuted for desertion, and he felt that rank disâ€" crimination existed when told there was no legal power to compel his wife to return, although her whereabouts were known. ‘"Problems in morals that would tax the wisdom of a Solomon to solve; 'cases in which the action taken will determine the welfare of little childâ€" ,ren, put an erring father on the road |to doing justice by his wife and family, or straighten out complicated relations that have arisen; illuminating flashes on phases of life‘s varied way in the North Country; these all come within \the scope of one year‘s work of the fChildren’s Aid Society of the judicial | district of Cochrane, as revealed during \the course of conversations with the president of that organization, G. A. ‘Macdonald, editor of The Porcupine | Advance, and with its secretary, A. G. Carson, member of the town council of Timmins. And, while much of their reports must, of necessity, deal with the seamier side of life, they deal, too, with its kindlier aspects,, stressing the active !int.erest taken in the work of the !society, of the acceptable help renâ€" ‘dered those who are less fortunate in \the material ‘things of the world and : with the very effective service rendered ]to many who, gout for the society and people who help to maintain it, gwould go through life ‘burdened with ;handicaps not of their own making. | An Extensive Territory "The Children‘s Aid Society for this lpart of the north functions for an exâ€" I‘tensiv'e territory, ranging from Ramore ‘on the T. N. O., nearly 60 miles south of Cochrane, to Hearst, 128 miles west ‘of that centre, and including the Porâ€" cupine camp, Iroquois Falls and adâ€" jacent sections, and all the comparaâ€" tively recently openedâ€"up district along the main line of the C.N.R. The last ‘annual report of Mr. Carson showed that mileage travelled reached a grand aggregate of 12,453 in the 12 months :ending with Octo‘ber 31 last, while 231 complaints were received, 269 investiâ€" gaticns carried out involving 661 childâ€" ren, while there were 451 interviews in the office. Continuing the statistics, it is ;ztated that 29 children were made wards of the society, foster homes were Ifcund for 28 and 13 were returned to | their parents. Applications for adopâ€" In the Saturday issue of The North Bay Nugget last week there is a very interesting article from the able pen of Frank Lendrum on the work of the District of Cochrane Children‘s Aid Society. The article is as follows:â€" Some of the Cases Dealt With the District of Cochrane C.A.S. Territory Very Extensive. Help Given to IIl and Crippled Children a Special Feature of the Work of the Society. Problems of Children‘s Aid _ Many and Very lnterestingl Husband is QOutwitted "This woman‘s story brings home the truth of the old adage, relating to the ignorance of oneâ€"half of the world with regard to how the others liveâ€"or exist. When her first husband was killed, she got $50 monthly from the Compensaâ€" tion Board for herself, with $10 for each of her three children. She marâ€" ried again, and her new husband, after spending the $1,000 she received in commutation of her pension and putâ€" ting out the oldest child (thereby losing ten dollars paid on its behalf), left her, taking with him the most recent cheque for $20, representing the comâ€" pensation for the other children. Trailed all over the district, the man was finally arrested by the provincial police at Cochrane. At first he denied his name, but eventually he was identiâ€" fied and was sent to jail for six months. His wife struggles along on $20 monthly income, a little help having been given when the oldest girl went into the employment of a neighbouring farmer. She had two children to her second husband. "Along the Porcupine branch of the T. and N. O. is a certain black shack. From the train, it is certainly not the most desirable of places in which to live and bring up a family, but it houses a woman and five children, to whom it is a veritable haven after their previous experiences. Before it was secured for their use by Mr. Carson this family, deserted by the father of some of the children, had existed in a log structure that was fast rotting to decay. Alâ€" though a building of fair size, it had a leaky roof and, in rainy weather, it was possible to find places out of the steady drips for only two beds, a table and a stove, and these had to be arâ€" ranged in corners out of the wet. In addition, the floor was practically nonâ€" existent. steps to return the father, should he desert, and as he pointed out to the society‘s agent.

DOB COAT Friday and Saturday "A very careful investigation is made of every case," Mr. Carson said, referrâ€" ing to complaints made to him of conâ€" ditions in any home. ‘"Wide enquiries are pursued befor any official action is taken," he added, declaring this had been the advice tendered him by his predecessor, Robert LeHeup. He had found by experience that it was better to make haste slowly, and he related one instance which came under his cbservation which showed the need of care. He told of a man who comâ€" plained that his wife had left him, takâ€" ing their two children with her. He wanted the youngsters and told what sounded like a plausible story to inâ€" terest the secretary of the Children‘s Aid Society. But enquiry showed the man had been in jail for wife beating, and there had also been a case against hinmvinvolving alleged relations with his daughter, but which was dismissed for lack of conclusive evidence. No help was forthcoming for that man in his efforts to recover the children. "Mr. Carson quoted another case to illustrate the difficulty of dealing with certain phases of situations which deâ€" velop. In this instance, a wife left home, took the two children with her, and went to live with another man. deals with the seamier side of life. At present Mr. Macdonald said, it was beâ€" ing arranged that treatment would be given in Toronto to a fourâ€"yearâ€"old boy affiicted with club feet, and it was exâ€" pected that this defect would be rightâ€" ed at no distant date, leaving the little fellow normal like his playmates. The cperation and treatment will take money, the president said, but he beâ€" lieved the expenditure was worth while and really was one of the objects of the society‘s existence. He told of anâ€" other case in which a girl who had suffered from a tubercular knee and would have been dead today but for the help given by the Children‘s Aid Soâ€" ciety, was able to go about like other children. She had been six months in the Sick Children‘s Hospita! in Toronto and an equal time in the Shelter here and the cost of treating her had been heavy, but the results had justified the money spent. Mr. Macdonald said that, frequently, people would become interâ€" March 14th and March 15th ested in individual cases, and would contribute toward the cost, in which instances the donations made would be applied toward the hospital bills. Sometimes, the parents can help, but generally the cases are drawn from families who are little blessed with this world‘s goods. Every Case Investigated of the Famous NOX At Sudbury last week Metro Kubey, 46, and father of eight children, a town labourer on the Elm street hill reduction job, was killed instantly Thursday afterncon in a peculiar manâ€" ner. Four other men esca‘,ped injury or death by a narrow margin. Mr. Kubey was swinging on a 16â€"foot beam in an effort to move a one ton rock. when a disâ€" lodged rock hurtled down the side of the hill and struck the timber, smashing it against the victim‘s jJaw and pinâ€" ning his head against the stationary rock.

The work done is worth while, both said, in conclusion." "Both Mr. Carson and Mr. Macâ€" donald, in closing, paid tribute to the kindness they received from people in the district in helping to brighten the lives of the children in the Shelter. Mayor G. S.

Her mother and uncles asked the society to intervene and give the children to the grandâ€" mother, while the legal husband, alâ€" though quite willing to blacken his wife‘s character in some respects, was satisfied to leave the children with her, provided they were sent to a school of which he approved, the religious diffhiâ€" culty having arisen. The wife was not willing to comply with his terms, and her mothéer‘s fitness as a moral guarâ€" dian of the children was questioned when it developed that she had perâ€" mitted her daughter to live in her house with the other man for some weeks. This case went before the magistrate for decision, but judgment is still pending until further enquiry is made. we have to e of coat.
