This year there was an average 0i thirteen children per ‘month in the Shelter at a cost .of sixtyâ€"eight cents per day, and an average of fortyâ€"eight children in boarding homes at eightyâ€" six cents per day. Prevention In July Miss Jean Thomson joined our staff and has been engaged in supervision, placement and preventaâ€" tive work in Timmins and Tisdale Township and we feel that the standard of our boarding homes has been raised to a considerable extent, and that we have been able to do some work in prevention. However, there is a great opportunity in this field and I would suzgest that as soon as finances permit another trained worker be engaged.

Children in Care Field Work its re all children in 28 14 Supervision Supervision of children in boarding homes is essential, and routine visits are made about once a month. â€" The children are given two outfits of clothâ€" ing a year, one in the sprinz and One in the fall. Any outgrown clothing is returned to the Shelter and repaired so as to be passed on to smaller chilâ€" adren. Through the coâ€"operation of the Timmins Dental Association it has been possible for our children to have free dental care. ‘Also through the Lionsy Club we have been able to proâ€" vide for three of our boys and girls with eye defects. At Christmas each child in a foster home or in the Shelter was given a present, the toys having been donated by Marshallâ€" Ecclestone Limited. Medical: Care Each child on entering the Shelter is given a thorough physicial examinâ€" ation, as unfortunately they are often dirty, under nourished and diseased. One family of five children who enâ€" tered the Shelter last fall were found to be all suffering from impetigo, one child had a severe scald on his leg, and all were covered with lice so that every stitch of clothing had to be burned. None of these children could be placed until these defects were corrected. In addition to the preliminary examinaâ€" tion, the children are reâ€"examined each year and given any cther medical atâ€" tention necessary. {One of the most encouraging phases of Children‘s Aid work is that with adoptions, where we see friendless litâ€" tle babies taken into homes where they are loved and cared for, and where they Home Finding For these latter children we try to find boarding or adoption homes. The north country has its own peculiar difficulties in this respect because of crowded housing conditions, but the finding of foster homes has recently become much easier. One good foster home will often bring in others, and since June, 1938, we have had sixuly applications for boarding children, and twenty for adoptions. Some of these are found to be: unsatisfactory when investigated, and therefore are not usâ€" ed. Also we have satisfactory homes which we cannot use because we have no children of the required age or religion. ~ dren from homes where there has been a drunken brawl, little orphan children, children who are cold, sick, and hungry. These children are someâ€" times given their first contact with kindly adults in the Shelter where they are washed, fed and clothed. Sometimes they are replaced before long in their own homes when the difâ€" ficulties have been settled. Frequentâ€" ly, however, they are made permanâ€" ent wards of the Society, and are our responsibility until they are twentyâ€" one years of age. Most business came to a standstill and school childâ€" ren were given a holiday when 14 giant new Canaâ€" dian tanks staged a "surprise attack" on Barrie, Sept. 20, then rumbled away along the King‘s highway for an 80â€"mile spin to Orillia and back to Camp Borden. Capable of speeds up to 40 miles an hour, and each weighing six tons, the big "caterpillers" arrived from TANK SQUAD STAGED "SURPRISE ATTACK" ON BARRIE THE POIRMITIPINE TIMMINHNAB, ONTARIE Juvenile Court This year 102 juveniles were charged under the Juvenile Courts Act and it was found necessary to commit 15 bays and 2 girls to the Training Schools for an indefinite period while the remainâ€" ing 85 were placed on parole to the different. members Oof the Juvenile Court Committee. In carrying out this work I wish to express my Apprezciaâ€" tion to Judge S. Atkinson and. Judge E. R. Tucker, also the members of the Juvenile Court Committee for the wonâ€" derful coâ€"operation they have given in handling these cases. Durinz the year we. have received much help from the different police organizations throughout the district. It is a great pleasure to your Superâ€" intendent to work with the police of the district who are never too busy to help where children are conceérned. Press and Radio _ This report would not be complete without mention being made of the asâ€" sistance given by the press and radio who are always ready to given pubâ€" licity to anything that will be of benefit to the children. Through ‘the coâ€"operation of our Presidaent and Directors and the comâ€" bined efforts of our staff, we have been able to secure a higher g*i‘adinw and therefore, receive a larger grant from the Provincial Govemmefib\ While we have accomplished this, we are planâ€" ning greater things and trust that at the end of the year we will again reâ€" This week North Bay has a minor mystery, but one that does ncot alarm the people, even though no explaration can be found. A couple of weeks ago North Bay had at least 500 transients, and maybe more. This week they seem to have disappeared. "The city seemed to be full of them," H. A. Desjardins, of the Government Employment Burâ€" cau, is quoted as saying, "and now ali of a sudden they seemed to have vanâ€", ished." He could suggest no logical reason for their sudden disappearance. There are several theories at North Bay in the matter, some saying that recruiting activity has made the work of the professional transient less easy. There does not seem to be any change in the transient situation in Timmins. This may mean that the transients here are actually looking for work and intend to continue the search until they are successful. All of which is ted. ceive an increased In this report I would like ‘to exâ€" press a, word of appreciation to the foster parents who have done so much for our children, and without whom the work of our society would be imâ€" possible. As we see the children deâ€" velcping into healthy, active boys and girls we feel a great debt of gratitude to these foster parents who give unâ€" selfishly of their time and care and are willing to include in theit own home circles these underâ€"privilezed children. Jean Thomson, _ Social Worker Unmarried Parents Act The enforcement of this Act entails a tremendous amount of work and tims, on the part of the superintendent, parâ€" ticularly when the parties live in remote parts of the district. There is also considerable time spent locating deâ€" faulting putative fathers and in bringâ€" ing them to court in an endeavour to collect from them. Mystery of" Disappearance of Transient at North Bay receive the security of a pernament home. During the year fourteen adopâ€" tion orders have been granted, and fifteen other children are in adoption homes on a twoâ€"year probation term.

Minerals Learbook 1939 says that the most significant development in the beryllium industry during 1938 was the interest in the wider use of the element in munitions, more specifically in vital parts of aeroplane enzines. Gf interâ€" est also is employment of the element in cementing steel. Beryllium oxide films may also be used to prevent tarnâ€" ish on silver. Among alloys in use are nickel with 2.5 per cent beryllium, which hardens to 600 Brindell and 18â€" carat gold, which beryllium hardens to 3CO0 Brindell. Berylliumâ€"copper alloy is also valuable in various fields and it is interesting to note that Copper and Brass Research Association of New York recently mentioned that the new Panâ€"American Airways‘ "Yankee Clipâ€" per," weighing over forty tons, 106 feet long, with wing span of 152 feet, and carrying seventyâ€"four passengers and two tons of cargo, uses considerable berylliumâ€"copper in the instruments, with total of 320 pounds of copper and alloys performing useful and vital service. World Output Small The United States bulletin says that nostwithstanding the zreat interest disâ€" played in the element and various rumors of new enterprises engaged in producing beryllium on a more or less scale, the world output today probably still falls short of 500 tons. In the United States the commercial supply of the metal and its commercial comâ€" pounds continues to come entirely from two companiesâ€"the Beryllium Corporâ€" ation of Pennsylvania, Temple, near Reading, and Brush Beryllium Corporâ€" ation, Cleveland, Ohio. Production of the former company for nonâ€"sparking tools and other berylliumâ€"copper castâ€" ings is largely sold to American Brass Co. It is in position to supply all kinds ample: motor mechanic, emergency of beryllium and copper products, inâ€" first aid work, map reading, mdio teleâ€" j cluding sheet, strips, wire and tubing, graphy, signalling, commissariat duties,|as well as castings, finished alloy, inâ€" sanitation work, clerical work, antiâ€"=â€"zas|gots and master alloys. instruction, intelligence work, or cenâ€"!

Beryl occurrences have been reportâ€" ed in various parts of United States, but few mines outside of the Black Hills, South Dakota, have produced as much as a carload, and most of the domestic production has been obtained as a byâ€"product of feldspar, lithium otr rareâ€"metal ore mining. No statistics of domestic output are available. In recent years a substantial part of doâ€" mestic consumption has been supplied by imports, which in 1938 amounted to 146 short tons, valued at $5,990, all from British India and Arzentina, exâ€" cepting a tenâ€"ton lot from South Africa, In 1937 imports were 182 tons, worth $8,031, and in 1936 were 162 tons, with $6,681. Deposits in Russia are known to exist, the most important in the Urals; the beryl is associated there with talc, mica, chlorite and actinolite schists. Market Now Limited With regard to market, the bulletin says that more beryl is being offered in United States than can be consumâ€" ed and the price was quotable at the time at $30 a ton, f.0.b. mines, for 10 to 12 per cent ore, and up to $55 a ton delivered at consuming plants for highâ€" er grades. These figures correspond to an ore cost of approximately $1.25 a pound of recovered beryllium metal, which could be increased substantially if necessary to stimulate _ mining and still permit the metal ‘be made at well under $5 a pound.
