In England juvenile delinquency went up fifty per cent in the first year of the war, because more mothers were in war work and the children had less superâ€" vision. Umteen millions of dollars worâ€" th of public nurseries won‘t be the anâ€" swer either. . . . . that is one lesson we might have learned from Russia‘s exâ€" periments during the past twenty years, Being the parents of a war generation of children is a pretty tremendous reâ€" sponsibility, ‘That‘s why we concedc a good case to the organizations in Amerâ€" ica who protesting against the trend toâ€" ward luring mothers into war work. If mothers were the last resort between this nation and ‘defeat, it would be one thing, but there are still many thousâ€" ands of.people without children in this country who are not as yet contributing fully to the war effort. Beforé tinkerâ€" ing with the lives of war generation children, who traditionally find normal adjustments very hard, we had better do some serious thinking about the con- sequences of this trend. A Job That Matters Keeping the family together will be big job for A.merican mothers during these war ahead. . . . a job that will matter just as much to the future as the beave efforts of our men on the fighting fronts.

When it is possible we will give them separate rooms â€" where they can learn orderly habits, acquire a sense of resâ€" ponsibility, enjoy a certain privacy. Bometimes this separate room is achievâ€" ed by means of light simple partitions that divide.a large room into two smalâ€" ler rooms. ... .. by measuring the space carefully, this partition can jog so as to make an alcwe for a single bed on one side and an extra closet on the other side.

The rooms can be very frugal in furnâ€" that isn‘t possible in these war times, then use a separate spring on legs and as good a mattress as you can afford. If the room is to be furnished as a stuâ€" dy, this will want to have a studioâ€" couch type cover. If it is to be frankly a bedroom and frankly frilly, you may stil use the sorings and mattress on a frame, but add a pyboard headboard, IME BLD â€" Of course, a good box spring and inner spring mattress is the ideal thing to prescribe here.

PLEASANT HOMES THE CHEST OFP DRAWERS â€" Its usefulness goes without saying, for. you cant expect a child to develop habits of order if there‘s no good place to keep his things. So provide plenty of drawer space â€" this could be combined with the desk. <A good big mirror is anothâ€" ‘er necessary â€" not only for convenienâ€" ce but to encourage neatness. THE SEATS â€" At the least you‘ll need to provide one good chair for desk study, and an easy chair for reading and and plain comfort.~ At most â€" if the rocom is to be used as a young sitting room, have the bed double as a couch by covering it with a stout fabric that can take it and adding lots of cushions at the back. Then you may want an extra plain bench against one wall, a bunch of hassocks or some folding camp seats for extra members of the gang.

THE DESK â€" More important than maybe you realize. While the children do their home work they might as well be learning to a proper desk. A flat top mode with drawer space at the sides is a good idea, or a secretary with shelves above the drawers below will serve as desk, chest and book case all in one. Or a broad topped table with wall shelves above will do nicely, especially if the child in this case has hobbies that require a big place for spreading things out. Spurge if you can on the main pieces, selecting good forthright furniture that can progress with poise from pone phase to another in the room‘s cateer. Reâ€" member that the earlier a child learns to treat good furniture with respect the better. Fads can come and go if they‘re expresed in oftâ€"changed accessories and inexpensive fabrics rather than in imâ€" portant investments like furniture.

Visitors to the mine in August of 1922 were given news of the coal strike and other important items comâ€" ing over the wireless at the Night Hawk ; Two marriages of special interest at the time were chronicled in The Adâ€" vance of August 23rd, 1922. ’rhere t in the one case was as follows:â€" marrilage of Miss Florence Margaret daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Vary, of Timmins, to Mr. George Frederick, son of Mrs. Geo. Bailey, Hailleybury, was solemnized in the Timmins rectory at 10 o‘cl¢cck a.m. on Tuesday, August 15th 192?2, the Rev. R. S. Cushing officiating. The bride looked charming in her dress of white satin and radium lace. Her tulle veil, which was embroidered in a "lover‘s knct" design was arranged in a mop can effect, with a wreath of orâ€" ange blossoms. She also carried a bouâ€" quet of sweet peas. The bridesmaid, Miss Doris Bailey, sister of the groom, wore a very pretty dress and hat of maize organdie. Her bouquet was also of sweetueas. (Mr. H. Hukcabone very efficiently assisted the groom. ‘The recâ€" tory being decorated with flowers and ferns gave background to a very pretty scene. Afier the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride, with meimbers of the family and a few inâ€" timate friends present. The bride‘s travelling costume was of crushed strawberry colour homespun with hat to match. ~After a few pictures were takâ€" en by Photogravher Browne at the home, the bridal party left for the staâ€" tion.‘" The other marriage reported in the same issue was that of Miss Kathâ€" leen Peters to E.

Peters, and Ernest H. King, were united in marâ€" rlage. Rev. Mr. King, of Cochrane, father of the groom, officiated at the marriage.~ Mrs. S. R. McCoy played the wedding march at the church. The bride was very charming in a beautiful gown of white satin, the veil of net beâ€" ing very rich and lovely. She carried sweetheart roses. ‘After the ceremony at the church there was a large array of beautiful and costly presents, testiâ€" fying to the popularity of the young couple and the sincere gcod wishes exâ€" tended them by all. After dinner, Mr. and Mrs. King left on the noon train to spend their honeymoon in Toronto.

This number inâ€" cluded. the new R. C. Church, the J. R. Gordon block, the Bardessono block, the Prince of Wales hotel, the new Presbyâ€" terian parsonage, the new R. C. school, the addition to the public school, and other structures, Think back twenty years ago and you will recall what a difference the building of the structures listed made, in the appearance and conâ€" venience of the town. There was a particuarly pleasing band concert given here by the Timmins Citizens Band twénty years ago. This was before ithe policy of regular conâ€" certs every two weeks was inaugurated. Speaking of the concert on Aug. 20th, The Advance said:â€"*‘By eight o‘clock ESunday evening, the theatre was filled to the doors and fully two hundred had to be turned away for lack of room. The programme given fully justified the large attendance, and more than justiâ€" fied the collection given,‘whichâ€"was only $84.00. Before the band concert comâ€" menced the Canadian Foresty Associaâ€" tion‘s motion picture film regarding forest protection was shown and proved highly interesting. Mr.G. G. Blythe in charge of the forestry car, also gave a brief but very effective address on forâ€" estry matters. The mayor Dr. J. A. Mcâ€" Innis, ocyupied the chair and referred .to the coming trip of the band to the kToronto Exhibition. In this connection Leader F. Wolno explained that Timâ€" mms Band had entered the exhibition band contests in class B for towns of 8000 and less. He was hopeful that they would make a good showing. Twenty years ago the Timmins Board of Trade was invited to visit the Night Hawk Lake area and see for themselves what the country offered. The kind and generous host for the occasion was D. O‘Connor, who made all arrangeâ€" ments and bore all expenses as his litâ€" tle bit toward publicity and interest for the country. The Advance at the time made the following reference to the trip:â€"‘"About a dozen from Timmins accepted the invitation of Mr. Dan. O‘â€" Connor of Connaught, to the Timmins Poard of Trade to be his guests on Thursday last for a tour of inspection through the Night Hawk mineral area. All taking the trin were delighted with the day and the wonderful country inâ€" spected and with the splendid hospitalâ€" ity of Mr. O‘Connor. The day was a most enjoyable one, full of interest and pleasure from beginning to end." One of the matters engaging the atâ€" tention of The Advance twenty years !ago was the qauestion of better police ‘protection for the people of the Matâ€" tagami section. One incident was given in the issue of Aug. 23rd, 10922, showing jump, and the men will commence real parachute jumping from planes. Service with the paratrocps is absolâ€" ground by wires. Then comes the "free" The Salvation Army annually cares for thousands of babies born out of wedlock. But modern civilization, the laws of the land and our democratic system decree that such humanitarian work requires funds, money in plain words. The Army of Mercy has been able through the 60 years of its exisâ€" tence in Canada to find no more honâ€" est or efficient method of raising that money than asking those who HAVE to give, so that those who HAVE NOT may be lifted from despair and starvation to at least the right jof every human being, sustaining of life itself. The work of The (Salvaton, Army is as complex as human nature human experience and human problems. Most people know something about it. Priâ€" marily, the organization strives to make human beings live \Christian lives. But they have found that too often those who need Christian knowledge anod principles are hungry, physically sick, morally outcast or completely helpless, i New born babijies were not given the ocower to understand manâ€"made marâ€" mage laws. But The Salvation Army contends that a child, born out of wedâ€" lock, is none the less the child of The just as is the son of parents of noble blood, soâ€"called. As such, that child, they believe, has the fundamental right to ilife, to a share of the food which the same Creator placed on this eartl, to a share of the knowledge which The ‘Creator gave us the ability to acâ€" quire and use, and to be so treated and loved in infancy by more fortunate souls that he will grow up to feel his rightful share of selfâ€"respect and to have the character and understanding which will enable him to carry on among his fellow men, Toronto, Ont., Aug. 26â€"Of those who will support The Salvation Army‘s Red Shield Home Front Appeal few will ever have faced the grim fact of giving up life itself. Those who will benefit from support of the Aappeal face this ’vlt.al issue daily. The Army of Mercy works among those who have sunk to ’the bottom of Hope‘s well, those who have fallen to complete despair because of sickness, error of judgment, circumâ€" stancs beyond their control or some human failing. But the Army of Mercy knows no condemnation, because they believe that The Golden Rule is better than Jungle Rule that Anuman beings have been given Responsibility along with superior knowedge and underâ€" standing powers, and that that responâ€" sibility. includes the duties embodied in The Ten Commandments. | I | The Salvation Army believes that man‘s destiny is first to live and let live, that the ultimate purpose of each individual‘s life is .dictated by each man‘s soul, conscience and understandâ€" ingâ€"which can be the Will of Our Lord, Jesus ‘Christ. They believe in helping those who are down, rather than ignoring them or pushing them further down. And so Salvation Army Officers do their best to practice Christianity, i.e., feed the hungry, heal the sick, support the aged, and infirm, mother the mothâ€" erless and fatherless, find work for the exâ€"prisoner and misfits, console and guide the wretched and depressed, and stait, and then carefully scrutiniged And approved by Canada‘s leading business and professional men who comprise The Saivation Army‘s Advisory Boards, There is no question of the need. â€"In be seeking more, much more, â€"money thau they are, in order to enlarge and extend their hospital facilities, old peoâ€" ple‘s nomes, homes for unmarried moâ€" thers, industrial establishments to utiâ€" lize the materials and goods. given them as waste and salvage annually, etc., were the nation not engaged in a war which threatens the very existence of democracy throughout the world.

It was a united effort of six war service organâ€" izations, The Canadian Legion, part of the war work of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire, The Knights of Columbus, The Y.M.C.A. the Y.W:C.A., and The Salvation Army Red Shield And it INCLUDED THE HOME SERVICES of The Salvation Army, The YMC.A. and the Y.WC.A. â€" â€" In 1940, The Salvation Army‘s Home Service funds were raised in a joint War and Home Services campaign for the Red Shield Why did we not have a campaign in 1941? The answer is, we did. One of the most successful campaigns of its kind ever held in Canada. We called it the Canadian War Services Fund camâ€" paign for $5,500,000 for the six war serâ€" vices organizations. The Canadian public oversubscribed that campaign by over a million dollars. Prior to 1940, The Salvation Army was financed by several appeals during the year, including the Selfâ€"Denial, Harvest Festival Funds and localâ€" canvasses. These are now entirely absorbed in the Home Front Appeal. But in 1942, The Dominion Governâ€" ment decided that the Auxiliary War Services in Military Camps and Defense Areas, including Overseas, of all the above organizations should be financed from the Federal Treasury, and it also decided that the Home Service requireâ€" ments of The Salvation Army, the Y.
