Youth may ask guidâ€" Cost of feed for cattle in the Porcuâ€" pine has risen 35 per cent. in recent months. The result has been that the Timmins district very nearly had a milk shortage this month, sinc2 it did not pay farmers to replace milch cows that had "gone dry" or to buy feed for those that were producing milk. Dairy meals, bran, grains and hayâ€" all have moved upward in â€" price and since the Porcyupine. does ~notâ€"producs much feed, the greater part has to be imported from the ~South, Gordon (Continued on Page Four) The only guarantee that there will be no milk shortage in Timmins this winâ€" ter is an increase in the price paid to the producer by the distributor, the Porcupine Milk Producers‘ has made it clear. They demand an increase of nearly two cents a quart (75 a hundred pounds) from the disâ€" tributors. This increase will nave io be passed on to the consumer, distriautors agree, and it is altogether probable that the price of milk to householders in Timâ€" mins will be advanced two cents a quart on December lst. This will mean milk will sell at 144 cents a quart, or seven quarts for a dollar. . Present prices are 124 cents a quart or eight quarts for a dollar.

"Pay Someboedy to Amuse Them" Allowing leisure to become commerâ€" clalized has been one of the greatest bad influences on the youth of the gay, (Continued on Page SBix) ' _Peace, said the youth at Geneva, is "something more than lack of evidence of visibleâ€" war." It mearns "the harmonâ€" lous working together of all nations." This, Dr. Patterson said, is an ideal that cannot be improved upon and in aiding the youth movement, much can be accomplished toward that end. "It is a movement we really cannot afford to keep out of." Crime Comes of Misussd Leisure In almost every case brought before her in 12 years on the bench at Torâ€" cnto, crime had come as the result of misus> of leisure. Edison‘s for unrest or unhappiness had been "workâ€" ing so hard that there is no chance to be tempted." Toâ€"day that work is not to be had. "Out of 400 *‘histories‘ I could count the number on the fingers of one hand who ‘liked to spend a quiet evening at home reading‘,‘ she said. "Reading seems to be becoming a lost art." The efforts of those in Toronto to make delinquent young men and woâ€" men interested in reading. with its conssquent thinking and interest in better things, had met with failure. "Movlies!" said the former magistrate. "There‘s the whole trouble. We have it them get out of hand.

But â€"along the road of life, they want no advice, she said, and the reason: ""They think we do not know it very well ourselves and at that I‘m not sure we do. We have a Guide Book and a Model, but in how many homes toâ€"day is this Book considered an important thing?" Dr. Patterson quoled from ‘the deâ€" mands made by Canadian youth at last summer‘s Canadian Youth Conâ€" gress, and from the demands made at the more recent World Youth Congress Work, education, training, justice, freedom and libertyâ€"with all these aims the people of Canada must agree, she said. Youth needs "just a little bit" of guiding in its idea of liberty which she defined as "to accept life‘s limitations understandingly." Damage to the house, including that to the basement, wiring, the dining room, hardwood floors, and desoration throughout the house, will amount to several hundred dollars. The origin of the fire has not been determined, alâ€" though it obviously started in the baseâ€" ment. ‘The loss is covered by insurance. Telephone Wires Burned When Mr. King wakened with the smell of smoke, he tried to telephone the fire department but found that the line was already dead, having been burned. He leaned from the window and shoutâ€" ed to a neighbour who immediately put in a Ccall. Firemen responded quickly, laid two lines, 600 feet of hose and had the fire doused in short order. They made sure that the family was safe at . a neighbour‘s house. Had the alarm not come in for even a short time, firemen state that the fire might quite easily have been one of major proportions. Smoke had ‘been confined inside the building right up to the time the alarm was turned in. S. McBride of Toronto was held toclay.

King and his family had a narrow escape from smothering when it was found that fire had already gainâ€" ed considerable headway in the baseâ€" ment of the place. Mrs. King, their two daughters, Patâ€" ricia and Vera and John Peters, Mrs. King‘s brother, were able to leave the house without difficulty. Both the dog and cat were in the house until firemen had put out ‘the blaze and both apâ€" peared to be all right.
