Another factor in the matter should always be | kept in mind. Reading a recent report in The Adâ€" vance, one parent said:â€"‘"More thefts by boys, eh? T‘ll have to see that my boys don‘t get into that : sort of stuff!" As it happens this particular gentleâ€" ! man‘s boys are among the finest lads in town. But | it may need their father‘s special interest to keep! them so. If there were never mention that boys were into trouble with the law, parents might drift | into the idea that boys did not need training,] direction, and a certain amount of wattching. As a matter of fact the whole problem of juvenile deâ€"l lingquency goes back to the home. If every home were a good home, there would be little trouble between the boys and the law. The Children‘s Aid,] the Juvenile Court Judge, the police, the service| clubs and a score of other agencies and individualsl have helped in wonderful way to assist boys back | to the narrow way and to keep them in that way.| But anyone who has studied the question knows| that all these efforts are of little avail without'i the help of the homes and parents. In fact. the; late J. J. Kelso, the founder of the Children‘s Aid| movement in Ontario, based his whole hope fori the children on that one ideaâ€"good homes. prove the home of the child," was his basic idea.f "and if it is impossible to improve that home, get| the child into a better home." Sometimes that better home was a Children‘s Aid Shelter, some-i times it was a foster home. Sometimes it was the | child‘s old home inspired to better care and attenâ€" tion. In the final analysis Mr. Kelso saw from the' very beginning that every child needed a homeâ€" must have a home to develop the bestâ€"is entitled | to a home by all the laws of nature and humanity. Fifty years of experience made Mr. Kelso more | and more convinced that in the home rested the| real salvation of the child. | In police court this week there was a patheticl case of a child defrauded of a home. A man and; his wife were charged with habitual drunkenness.| fighting,. bad language, neglect of their child. The§ child, a bright, clean, dear little girl, told a story| of work, of study, of struggle for normal life ano’! progress. Every decent heart in the courtroom| went out to that youngster in sympathy. Magisâ€"| trate Atkinson, as usual, showed his kindness, knowledge, his farâ€"sighted humanity. He gave the parents a chance to make a real home for their ; little girl, but he made it plain that the parents| must do their part, or else a new and better homei would be found for the youngster. Such cases‘ should have publicity, to impress upon parents in : general their responsibilities and duties. If par-; ents fully understood their bounden duty in matter of making true homes, this would be a land ' of happy homes, and that would mean a happyi country with good citizens now and in the days to| come. Many parents are only careless, thought.less.! lacking in the sense of duty. Publicity is necessary to impress upon them their bounden duty. It is recognized that there are thousands of parents honestly and earnestly doing their duty. Their part is made the harder by the dereliction of the’ others. It is well in this connection to point out ! Recently a committee of the Timmins Kiwanis Club was appointed to assist the Children‘s Aid Society in its efforts to help boys and girls who come in contact with the law. This committee can be of unusual service to the boys and to the comâ€" munity, and naturally The Advance is especially anxious to assist such a committee. One of the committee has suggested that some assistance might be given if no publicity were given to any cases involving boys and girls. Long experience, however, shows that this is not the fact. It is perâ€" fectly true that improper publicity given to juvenâ€" ile cases has an injurious effect. The law provides against that in several ways and public opinion may assist in other ways. To sacrifice a child‘s chance for life for a juicy headline is too contempâ€" tible for words and it brings its own punishment. To use the names of children in reporting juvenile court cases is certainly injurious to the children, but it is definitely illegal and any newspaper atâ€" tempting it should be punished by the law. The Advance has consistently and invariably observed the law in this particular, as have all other reputâ€" able newspapers. But it has been proven time and again that to conceal serious crime itself by failâ€" ing to mention the fact of its occurrence is against the public interest. There should not be any direct or indirect glorification of crime of any kind, whether by adult or juvenile. No youngster should be encouraged by any newspaper in the belief that he has done anything big or smart or adventurous when he has broken the law. The Advance has alâ€" ways tried to picture crime for what it is:â€"someâ€" thing small, unsportsmanlike, mean, immoral, disâ€" graceful. Boys and girls should be taught to expect that they cannot escape altogether from the efâ€" fects of their misdeeds. They may be given another chance, but it should be made plain to them that every breach of the law is something for which to hang the head. The overâ€"emphasis of crime is a mistake, but to refuse reference to it is simply to put a premium upon it and to play unfairly with the public. ; TIMMINX®, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Associlation; Ontarioâ€" Quebos Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€" RESIDENCE 70 Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year Ti'mmins, Ont., Thursda}, Oct:__‘Z-ch, 1936 Che Vorrupine Aduancs PAGE FPOUR P â€" PP â€" P â€"AP C â€"AL CA BA P P L ALP L* «ithâ€"altâ€"allâ€"P" P s P uLsw P PA * Published Every Monday and Thursday by : GEO LAKE, Owner and Publmner Subscription Rates: FOR BETTER HOME3 Uniteq Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year ) _ All who are tired of pictures and yarns about all the families in the Millar stork derby (and that means nearly everybody) will sincerely wish that |there is a Mrs. Paul Sibble, and she has fifteen !children. and she comes forward, and claims that fortune, and gets it, and everybody lives happily aver after. It is only 56 days to Christmas. ; Someone may ask how it is possible that Mrs. iPaul Sibble has had fifteen children in the past }ten years without being discovered before this, for the newspapers have been fineâ€"combing the \city of Toronto for mothers of big families, while \ the bureau of vital statistics has been analyzed and audited and microscoped for everything more than six births in the same family. The reason is | that Mrs. Paul Sibble has only registered the tripâ€" f lets and a couple of others under the Paul Sibble name. Previous to the last five or six, Mrs. Paul | Sibble was Mrs. H. Oaks, and there were five little ? acorns. Previous again to that the lady had been the wife of another man and had brought him five hostages to fortune. The figures, of course, are | ; / approximate. There may have been a little overâ€" lapping in the numbers as given, but when husâ€" bands die off too rapidly it is hardly fair to expect one man‘s wife to keep track of another man‘s =children. Anyway there are fifteen children and they all call Mrs. Paul Sibble "Maw," and when they all say it at one time it sounds like the Menâ€" _delssohn choir. } f ! that it is not always the homes from which they come that are responsible for the delinquency of some particular group of children. It may be that neighbouring homes have made it impossible for parents to fully guard and control their children. In any event the poor homes add to the burden of |the good homes. In other words for the proper l protection of the children, all homes must be good homes. This is setting a highâ€"apparently an imâ€" possible aim in this imperfect worldâ€"but it is along this line that the greatest advance may be made in guarding the welfare of the children. There is much to discourage good parents in this somewhat wicked and careless world, but one thing : all may feel in Timminsâ€"that all the authorities, police, law officers, magistrate, judge, service ‘ clubs and other organizations and individualsâ€" are sincerely sympathetic to the children and the homes. Few realize, perhaps the interest, thne efâ€" fort, the kindness and keen thought being given ' by the local police at the present time to the probâ€" lem of the wayward children. It is one reason why Advance has resented the mean and unworthy 5slandering of the police in some selfish quarters. The good work of the police would be hampered if there were no mention of any of the misdeeds oc¢â€" curring from time to time. Parents and others must know of what is going on, so that efforts may be made for betterment and remedy. There should be no lionizing of any sort of crime, by adults or juveniles, but on the other hand attempt to conâ€" ceal the fact that everything is not always well will lead to no good end. Parents must be ever watchâ€" ful, ever faithfulâ€"all of themâ€"and occasional knowledge that there are crimes among children, as well as among older people, is a sure way to keep parents on the alert for better homesâ€"meaning better children and a better town. r é ) i | Collingwood being a sailor‘s town and a shipâ€" building town, it might be expected that it would be a little rough. But few would look for the depths of degradation pictured in the last issue of The Enterpriseâ€"Bulletin. According to The Enterpriseâ€" Bulletin there are several punch boards in the town. It is to be hoped that the authorities are able to cope with the situation. Next thing Collingâ€" wood will be doing will be buying tickets on the Irish Sweepstakes, or something. Hon. Earl Rowe is to spend four days in Timmins and hopes to meet everyone in this part of the North. This is in striking contrast to Hon. Mr. Mcâ€" Questen who spent about as many hours here and With the Toronto newspapers full of the family fights in Spain and Toronto it might be well to consider the case of the Paul Sitble family. In. Spain the proclaimed victors are very likely to find the government has taken away the money, and the same thing may be true in Toronto. For months now the people have been nauseated with this woman saying she‘s the sure winner of the Millar stork derby with her nine children, carry Oone, while another seems a sure winner with ten, but is left in the shade by the lady with eleven, who in turn seems out of the race when the voice of the mother of twelve is heard. Among all the clamout the Paul Sibble family has been quiet and discreet. Not a word from them! But the time is at hand whenâ€"the Paul Sibble family may usurp all the space in a certain or uncertain newspaper that has made the stork derby its chief interest in life. What will the mother of nine or ten or twelve or even thirteen children say when Mrs. Paul Sibble steps forward and says:â€""I have had fifteen children in the past ten years and they are all duly regisâ€" tered, and alive, and well, and everything." It may be argued that Mrs. Paul Sibble didn‘t play the game fairly, because three of the children are tripâ€" lets and two are twins, while all the rest are single ones. Mrs. Paul Sibble will reply that it was no game for her, but that she always had her chilâ€" dren rabbitly. (The intelligent compositor here inâ€" trudes the thought that this would make her sure hare to the fortune.) But this is only an old country idea. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, T!IMMINS ONTARIO apparently did not want to meet anyone. Hon. Earl Rowe will likely hear the same sort of thing that would have been told to Hon. Mr. McQuesten, but there will scarcely be the same tone of voice used. Mussolini‘s son is reported as going to Mollywood to enter the moving picture business. It is to be hoped he does not turn out to be a bad actor like his father.

The car, however, continued down a narrow lane until it came up against a wall and stopped, unable to proceed or turn. It was not seriously damaged. Subsequently, police, who had been notified by some of the citizeas who had observed the incidint with their stationary colleague, located Linna and later; after they had gone to New Lisâ€" keard hunting him, Niemi. The latter, they say, surrended himself about midâ€" night, five hours after the earlier inâ€" cident.

Low Cost Service at ith, 1936. Spscial (From The Ottawa Journal) More and more the good earth of Canada yields riches. Only the other day the Commissioner of the Yukon came to Ottawa to tell that the famed old territory of Klondike days is comâ€" ing back as a mining region, and now comes Minister of Mines Crerar with tidings that an ore khody has been found near Goldficlds, Saskatchewan, with nickel, copper, gold and silver. So it goes, day after day. In the northland regions of Quebec and Ontario they count that day last which doesn‘t see a new mine discovered, or a new diaâ€" mond drill put down, or a new assay made on some property with richer ore than ever. We just can‘t count the number of mines now that are either listed or unlisted on the stock exâ€" changes. that Coleman township, another party to the union school section, is affected to the extent of oneâ€"third of the money involved, making the trustees over $1,â€" 100 short of their estimates meantime. Chairman Crichton and Trustees Crago, Case, Moss and Richards attended the meeting this week, a special session called to discuss financial matters. Affairs, struck the public school rate to cover requirem<nts as estimated by him and which were considsrtably below the amount which the board considered its irreducible minimum for the year‘s needs. Trustecs declare that they were consuited by the auditor and gave him figures which he is said to have agreed were reasonable, yet later, they told Mayor Prisse and Councillor Lendrum, who attended Monday‘s mesting, these were still further cut arbitrarily. The situation is complicated by the part Not all of them are good, of course. Some are only prospects, gambles, with the money going into them buying litâ€" tle more than hope, for the present at any rate. yet one thing is clear. It is Nearly Every Province Now Has its Gold Fields MODERKN, LEXPERIENCED BANKING SERVIC A national asset worthy of the most intelligent cultivaâ€" tion is the tourist business, which brought $202,000,000 into Canada last year and is estimated to bring at least $250,000,000 this year. In our international trade its monetary value to Canada now ranks ahead of that of any of our exports, not excepting those important exportable commodities, wheat and newsprint. But the tourist industry has potential values beyond its annual money income: * it fosters exchange of ideas between neighbours, interâ€" national understanding and coâ€"operation, tolerance and goodwill; ® it accelerates betterment of railway, waterway and airâ€" way service, of motor roads and hotel accommodation; * it awakens interest in Canadian products and opporâ€" tunities for capital investment. Through its offices abroad and more than 500 branches distributed throughout Canada, the Bank of Montreal is one of the leading factors in providing service for the tourist trade. Its offices abroad and in Canada are centres to which countless toutists turn for information and guidance.
