Brief mention was made in The Advance on Monday of the death of J. J. Kelso, for forty years the superintendent of neglected and dependent children for the province of Ontario. The death of this man deserves more than passing reference. He was a gréat patriot. HMHe was in big business in a big wayâ€"â€"the biggest business of the country, "a fair chance for every child." His influence on every walk of life in this province would be difficult to circumscribe, and the effect of his life work passed far beyond provincial boundaries. "Look after the children," he said more than once, "and there need be little worry for the citizens of toâ€" morrow." He developed a resource, a vast wealth in Ontario, riches beyond computeâ€"good citizenâ€" ship, where all the chances were for evil, without his thought, his interest, his planning, and the influence, the effort and the affection he roused in behalf of his wards, thousands of them now happy, healthy, useful and kindly citizens of Ontario and other provinces and states. TIMMIN®, ONTARIO Members Canacdian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarinâ€" Quebe: Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE: 26â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher s Subscription Rates: It is doubtful if there is a man in Ontario who has done as much for the true welfare of Ontaric as J. J. Kelso. Not only was he the founder of the Children‘s Aid, which has given literally tens of thousands of children their chance in life, but he founded the first Children‘s Fresh Air Fund on the continent; he was the moving spirit in the comâ€" mencement of the Mothers‘ Allowance Act; he urged the need for old age pensions for a generaâ€" tion before the actual passing of legislation; to his talent and thought is due the Unmarried Parents Act and the removal of the stigma from children born out of wedlock; it was his able and active planning that perfected the correctional schools for boys and girls; he was the true founder of the Juvenile Court in this country; and in scores of other ways he worked effectively and successfully for the betterment of the chances of the children and the nobler citizenship to follow. Canadaâ€"â€"82.00 Per Year Timminsg, Ont., Thursday, October 3rd, 1935 a place he held with credit to himself, service to the children, and honour to Ontario for forty years. The difficulties, the enmities, the opposiâ€" tion, the abuse, incident to those early days of the work could scarcely be believed toâ€"day. Selfishâ€" ness and greed and cruel natures lived then no less than now. It took a stout heart like J. J. Kelso‘s to face all the forces arrayed against him. There were a few newspapers, like The Toronto Globe, for instance, and there were many good men and women who gave the most generous support, but in the main there was at the best but apathy and at the worst vicious opposition. It should be reâ€" membered that this was the first of a new public movement for social welfare, and it had to bear the hardships of the pioneer. The patience, the deep earnestness, the undaunted courage of J. J . Kiso triumphed through the years. Those who bemoan the evils they see in business, finance and industry, and those who deplore the horrors of war, must be discouraged at the little advance they seem to make in actual settlement. The truth is that they can hope for little, so long as the hearts of humanity remain unchanged, so long as false ideals and false standards are so genâ€" erally held. If they could replace the story of some soâ€"called merchant prince or captain of inâ€" dustry or valiant man at arms in the school books of the day and in the thoughts of the people with the more glorious story of a life like that of J. J. Kelso, they would do more to advance their ideals than all their propaganda and political creeds. If they could make a glory of the life of J. J. Kelso, the truth would overshadow military glamor and material success. The life of J. J. Kelso had romance, adventure, struggle, humor, nobility and true successâ€"all the factors that make for interest and for greatness. He knew poverty, coming to Canada from Ireland and seeing difficult times before he could make his way. He Knew responsibility and burden, having a widowed mother and her family that he felt to be his cam t,,.He knew work and worry and effort, struggling his way from newsboy to printer and then to reporter. He knew humanity, its frailties and its glories, from actual contact in his duties as a newspaperman. As a newspaperman on The Toâ€" ronto Globe he was given the assignment of exposâ€" ing slum conditions in Toronto. Like the good newspaperman he was, he went far beyond the bare limits of his instructions. He wrote about the cruelty under which dumb animals laboured in the citieg', he described the evils that beset the mldremof the day who had no law to protect them. Be@ause his own heart was touched, he was able to %ouch others. He founded the Toronto Humane:Society, the first organization of its kind in Canada, and it is worthy of note that the first clause in tHe constitution of that society was a pledge to Wwork to save the children from neglect, cruelty and abuse. He had the gift of inspiring others with his own ideals, and was eventually able to interest the government of Ontario in the special problems of the children and the homes. Hon. Oliver Mowat established a special departâ€" ment to care for neglected and dependent children and called J. J. Kelso to the post of superintendent, PAGE Potn Che Yarrupine Aduanee J. J, KELSO PASSES «h m s P P P PCO P AP Pm in L NC P The Advance has been suggesting that the peat now available for use from Mountjoy deposits proâ€" mises to be extremely useful as a fuel. The Norâ€" thern Tribune adds to this by saying that peat «shes make superior fertilizer. Accordingly, all J. J. Kelso accomplished the task he set himself. He was widely known and esteemed for his true social welfare work. The model legislation in Ontario has been copied by other states and counâ€" tries, and J. J. Kelso was in effeéect consultantâ€"atâ€" large wherever governments or individuals were interested in social advance. Few men have the blessing of so many friends as J. J. Kelso left behind him. There are the thouâ€" sands of children he helped. There are the inâ€" numerable workers for betterment who will treasâ€" ure the memory of his friendship and his patience and kindliness. His monument is a living one of character and better lives. J. J. Kelso was in his seventyâ€"second year at the time of his death. During the past three or four years he has been living retired after his busy, helpful and truly successful life. His works live after him. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a letter suggesting that the town of Timmins needs cement sidewalks more than a new town hall. No town could well need anything more completely than Timmins needs a new town hall. The present structure is inadequate, unsanitary, an inconveniâ€" ence to the public and a danger to those forced to make use of its poor accommodation. The Adâ€" vance agrees with the writer of the letter that there are some more sidewalks needed in the town. At the same time many have been built in the past few years and the urgency for other walks is not so great as the need for a new town hall. It should | also be noted that the fact that some wooden walks | are not replaced by more modern cement side-i Publicity does the work. ‘"Local Peat" is now |tion there i: one of the most widely known characters, enâ€" tical parties quiries coming from all parts of the North. | Why does there always seem to be discrimination against the North? There are only four candiâ€" dates running in this riding for the coming Federal electiscn,. while some other ridings in the Dominion have as many as eight? The late world war popularized the idea of songs for soldiers. Will the King of Ethiopia wake up one of these days to see the Italian troops marchâ€" ing toward Addis Ababa, singing:â€""Haile! Haile! the gang‘s all here!" The world improves! Despatches from Italy say that the Vatican is being equipped with an underâ€" ground shelter to provide safety from the danger of poison gas bombs. A few years ago people were not advanced enough to be able to build such shelters. walks is not the fault of the council but of the proâ€" pertyâ€"owners whose property is fronted. This may not be the fact in every case, but it is true in some of the examples that seem most pressing. It would anpear that there are some more cement sidewalks that should be built, but this does not alâ€" ter the fact that a new town hall seems to be a necessity. The question of the difference between being'fi intoxicated and being drunk is one that comes up for frequent discussion without very conclusive A definitions being given. A man who pleaded not guilty before Magistrate Jelfs at Hamilton when l R charged with being drunk, admitted that he was intoxicated. When questioned on the matter hel said that a man was intoxicated when he had too much liquor but he was drunk when he couldn‘t stand up. The other day a local man was arrested | ;, for driving a car while drunk. When the doctor l Vi was examining him the man admitted that he was 31; unable to stand up. This tempted one man to by define intoxication and drunkenness as follows:â€" | M A man is intoxicated when he is too drunk to drive a car, but he is drunk when he is too intoxicated po to walk. | fo The present town hall is not creditable to a town of the importance of Timmins. Still more imporâ€" tant is the fact that it can not give adequate serâ€" vice to the public. The people are entitled to something better than this structure. * There is nothing to be gained by vainly regretting past opportunities to secure a town hall at less cost than is likely toâ€"day. A new town hall is badly needed for the proper service of the town. The less said about the jail accommodation at the town building the better. Repeated attempts have been made to improve conditions, but the fact is that adequate, sanitary and safe accommodation for prisoners is impossible in the present building. To The Advance it appears that even economy would be served by the building of a town hall at the earliest possible time. For this reason it.is to be hoped that the 1atepayels will vote to empower the building of a new town hall. Do the children of the present day have as much fun as those of a previous generation? Of course, there is the automobile and the radio and the moyvâ€" ins pictures and whatâ€"not. But how many young£â€" sters of toâ€"day have seen a Chinaman walking iiong street with his shirt outside his pants and his pigâ€"tail hanging down behind him? .tts itc ce sc GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER | # 220 . ie s . e es 2. m am~ am~ m mm se am ir e l â€"r~ e * y enc ie e THE PORCUPTINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARITO glllustrated Talk _ on Fire Prevention With nominations over for. the Dominion elecâ€" tion there is no excuse for starting any new poliâ€" Seek to Guard Your House Against Fire Angloâ€"Huronian Ltd., in its annual report for the year ended July 31, shows net profit after all deductions of 38.4 cents per share.

Remember all heating devices are potential fire breeders and require conâ€" stant care. Next week, the week of Oct. 6th, 1935, is being observed throughout Canada as Fire Prevention Week. In this connecâ€" tion the following from the Dominion Fire Commissiontr, Ottawa. is worth Fire Prevention Week. In this connecâ€" tion the following from the Dominion Fire Commissioner, Ottawa, is worth ccnsidering. The following suggestions are those which experience has found thoroughâ€" ly practical and worthy of your most careful attention. Fifthâ€"Do you place electric radiaâ€" tors, glow lamps ana other types of portaole electric heaters where they may come in contact with some comâ€" bustible material? Firstâ€"If you use gas plates or porâ€" table stoves, is the support for them of incombustible material such as metal or asbestos? If not, heat radiation will frequently cause ignition. Secondâ€"Are you using flexible rubâ€" ber tubing instead of permanent metal piping for connections to gas mains? Ruboer tubing deteriorates rapidly, perâ€" mitting gas to escape and connections may easily be broken, with the possiâ€" bility of explosion and fire. If absoâ€" lutely necessary to use rubber tubing be sure the shutâ€"off valve is located in the solid connection of piping :only and not at the stove. 9 Thirdâ€"If you have one of the gld type portable gasoline or similar type stoves about the house, the simplest precaution is to get rid of it, as sooner or later it is apt to cause trouble. If absclutely necessary to have one of these burners use the coalâ€"oil type which is much safer. And while \wiy% speaking of coalâ€"oil, never start ® of hurry a stove fire with it. It is cer tam disaster if you do. Fourthâ€"Is the electric pressing iron kept on a metal stand when not i use, and are all the connections in A t conâ€" dition? It is a wise precaution to, have a service light installed in connection with these irons to wnaicate when the current is off or on. J.
