"During the year we have done extenâ€" sive work for the Department of Naâ€" tional Defence. For the Dependents‘ Allowance Board we made numerous imvestigations regarding eligibility for "There was a slight decrease‘ in Juâ€" venile Delinquency this year. Ninetyâ€" eight boys and one girl appeared in Juvenile Court and of this number five boys and one girl were sent to Trainâ€" ing Wchools In dealing with these nintyâ€"nine juveniles, fortyâ€"two courts were attended, involving investigations in Timmins, Iroquois Falls, Cochrane, Kapuskasing and Hearst. As in the past we have received the coâ€"operation of all the Police Officers in dealing with these delinquents. WAR SERVICES: "During the year fortyâ€"three new cases were reported to the Society. This is a difficult group to handle as they oiten have no plans for themselves and each case requires individual attention and special planning. If the girl wishes the baby placed for adoption, a foster home is secured. However, if she deâ€" sires to keep the baby, and is capable of maintaining it herself, every effort is made to assist her in becoming reâ€" established. JUVENILE COURT: "This year fortyâ€"two final adoption orders were obtained, which is double the number of the previous year. An additional fifty children were placed on adoption probation during the year and will now be under our supervision. These figures woul® seem to indicate that people are steadily becoming more aware of the importance of children in their lives and of giving otherwise hanâ€" dicapped boys and girls the security of their own homes. UNMARRIED PARENTS ACT: "Here we would like to express our appreciation to the Management of the Broadway Theatre who donate passes to the children from the Shelter every Saturday afternoon and to Mr. John Dalton who has provided free transâ€" portation on different occasions, enabâ€" ling them to have some enjoyable outâ€" ings. ADOPTIONS : "We have found it rather difficult this year to obtain suitable foster homes for our children, especially for boardâ€" ing care. This is no doubt due to the demands made in the public in conâ€" nection with the war effort. However, we feel that our foster parents, in helpâ€" ing to mold the lives of the coming generation, are making a contribution that cannot be overlooked, and the Society would like to express their graâ€" titude to them for their splendid efforts. "In most cases we find that«our childâ€" ren are leading happy, normal lives in these homes and by seeing that every child has a complete medical examinaâ€" tion each year and annual dental care we do not have an unusual amount of illnesd or absence from school. "The end of the year finds us wit} two hundred children in care, of whom cne hundred and thirtyâ€"three are wards, three are British Child Guests, and the balance in adoption hemes or temporâ€" ary care, where wardship is not deemed necessary. "Our efforts here are directed at attempt to improve home condition:! and keep the family as a unit if posâ€" sible, as we realize that ward action 1: a drastic step involving great change. in the life of a child. _ "Eightyâ€"six new cases were brought to ine attention of the Society during the year and five other cases were reâ€"openâ€" ed. This is a reduction from the preâ€" vious year, possibly acounted for by a aecrease in popuilation and in unemâ€" ployment. "Reviewing the actual work we will deal first with: PROTECTION : "A number of improvements have been made at the Shelter during the past year, adding a great deal to its efficiency, and I would like to fhank the Shelter House Committee for the splendid work they did in this connecâ€" tion. "At this point I would like to pay triâ€" bute to the work done by Mrs. Boyd while at the Shelter. ‘By her own efâ€" forts and her coâ€"operation with the House Committee she did a great deal to make it a happier place for the children. "We have also had changes in staff gauring the year. In July we lost the valuable services of Miss Menzies who left us to fesume her studies in Toâ€" ronto. She has not been replaced and in the meantime Mrs. Morris has taken over part of her work. In November, Mrs. Boyd, our Matron at the Shelter, left toa be married and was replaced by Mrs. Buck who is also doing an excelâ€" lent job. The following is the A. G.

For the Dependents‘ Board of Trustees we investigated and reported on one hunâ€" dred and thirtyâ€"six cases from the Disâ€" trict; some of them involving long trips by car or train. As a result of tltese investigations approximately $6,000 was administered in extra assistance to solâ€" diers‘ dependents. "T‘wo members of our Board, Mr. G. S. Drew and Mr. P. H.

"Gilles Blais, son of Mr. D. Blais, reâ€" ports that while going through the bush on the back of the farm iately, he came face to face with a bear and two cubs. According to him the meeting was very formal. It was more than formal, it was frigid. He could feel cold shivers running up and down his spine. Meanâ€" while mother bruin and her offsprings were eyeing the intruder critically. He was a little lean but he would do. The speed with which young Blais left the scene and headed for home 1s better imagined than described."

The Cochrane desâ€" patch adds that it is expected that Bisâ€" hop Renison will be taking up permaâ€" nent residence at Cochrane about that time.

Child Protection Cases Published in Timmins. Ont*. Canada Children in Care TCO 203 220 According to announcement by the Department/of Game and Fisheries of Ontario there are two periods set aside this year again for partridge hunting. The first period will be from Oct. 2nd to Oct. 16th, and the second from Nov. 8th to Nov. 15th, all dates being incluâ€" sive. The limit of catch is ftive birds a day, with not more than a total of twentyâ€"five for the two oper seasons. Dates Announced for the Shooting of Partridge At the present time there is a reâ€" cruiting campaign throughout the Domâ€" inion for the St. John Ambulance Briâ€" gade. There is more general recogniâ€" tion of the great value of this organizâ€" ation and its value, not only for the work it does, but also for the training and leadership given to others. People of Timmins and the Porcupine might well take a wider interest in the Porcupine Corps of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. One of the first steps along this line would be to attend the third annual Corps Inspection and Demonstration of the Porcupine Corps to be held in the McIntyre Arena on Thursday of next week, Oct. 7th, at 7.30 pm. There is no admission charge for this event and the public will be cordially welcomed. The public is invited to come and see an (Emergency First Aid Post set up in quick time. First Aid Demonstration. Stretcher Demonstration. Nursing Demonstration. Presentation of the Corps Nursing trophy to the winning team. For those who have noticed the St. John Ambulance Brigade work in the regular presence of skilled members at sports event and on similar occasions where emergencies are liable to occur or where first aid may be needed should attend the event on Thursday evening of next week at the McIntyre Arena where they will have a striking demâ€" onstration of the S. J. A. B. work in its several phases. They will find it intensely interesting and informative. After the insvection, there are to be regular first aid classes for women in the Hospital lecture room. Few people not actively ‘concerned know the extent and the value of the work of the St. John Ambulance Briâ€" gade, Something of its value has been impressed on the public since the war. Like the Red Cross, the St. John Amâ€" bulance Brigade was one of the comâ€" paratively few organizations ready for the emergency. In the Porcupine Camp the knowledage anda leadersnip of the St. John Ambulance Brigade has been of special value.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29TH, 1943 (From New Liskeard Speaker) If the death sentence passed last Friâ€" day at Cochrane Assizes by Mr. Justice Chevrier on Wilfrid Desrochers, conâ€" victed of the. murder of Mrs. Alfreda April on Dominion Day, is carried out, it will mark the sixth execution in the distriot jail at Haileybury since the inâ€" stitution was opened in December, 1925, the date set for this hanging is Novemâ€" ber 30. The condemned man is now under guard in the death cell at the jail, where he maintains the same stoical attitude that marked his demeanor during the trial. Three guards are on duty, each doing an eightâ€"hour stretch daily, and the prisoner has given no trouble and has shown little emotion, it was learned this week from Sheriff Harry Clifford. The executions already carried out were those of five men from different parts of Temiskaming and Cochrane convicted of murder. In some other cases, capital charges of similar nature had been laid against individuals, but these were disposed of in other manâ€" ners, the prisoners being acquitted or having the charges reduced to manâ€" slaughter. In one instance, that . Papastamatiou, alias John Kirkland Lake, the jury guilty of murder at one t aside on appeal. A new tri; ed, at which accused last Whether there will be any appea Desroches‘ case is not known defini here. At the trial last week, cou for the defence, Dean Kester, K.C. Timmins, entered a plea of insanit; hehalf of his client, and there was dence given that accused had bee problem child. In addition to fatally wounding Mrs. April by shooting, the 23â€" â€"yearâ€" â€"old Desâ€" rochers also fired on her husband inâ€" flicting wounds from which he suffered for a considerable time. A confession made by accused to police after the traâ€" gedy was admitted as evidence at the trial, his Lordship ruling it was admisâ€" sible, according to reports fron.
