What that remark lacks in good taste it makes up in common sense. And if we are to get through the summer without a fatal accident among children playing on streets; a little common sense is necessary. next few weeks will depend largely cn the interest shownâ€"by the youuth themselves â€"â€" an interest which in turn depends on whether their parents are willing to take ten minutes of their time to discuss the matter. <» Wise parents wi‘l do well to follow the suggestion. Timmins children have grown up in a city planned without boulevards, and largely lacking in sizeable back or front yards. A number of playing areas have been provided ‘however, and these are under excellent superâ€" The last three weeks, since the schools have closed for the summer holidays, have seen ¢ number of accidents involving children being struck by automobiles on the streets in Timmins, In these cases it is usually found that the child ran out from behind a parked car, with its vision cf oncoming traffic obscured.

Help the Council by bringing: these matters to the attention of your children your neighbor‘s children, and your neighbor themselves. â€" f More thase anything else, the, Youth,. Welfare .GCouncil needs publicity, and a wider understanding of its sims.and program. Details are being â€" The time has now arrived when the individual parents must decide whether or not their own children are worth a little of that ‘"time, effort and money," mentioned above. Are you, for example, sufficienly interested ‘in vour children to suggest to them that they rally to the support of the Junior Youth Welfare Council in its program of activiâ€" ties? Have you brought to their attenton the fact that the program includes a dance, a youth rally at a local theatre, and a big, allâ€"out "Community Fair" â€"â€" all within the next month or so? _ EeW e utd Interest and support from such sources provides ample assurance to parents that the Youth Councils‘ p‘ans have been laid along the right linesâ€"to think otherwise it to discount completely the spirit and ideaâ€" lism which has fostered the growth of the service clubs themselves. 1 m . CC We .. C N â€" 1790 788 _ AAd â€" V â€" _ AAdGIDILCY . Heartening evidence that all of Timmins‘ service clubs are solidly behind the efforts of the Senior and Junior Youth Welfare Councils, has been cbhserved in the reports cf the service clubs‘ meeting in the past few weeks. All have indicatsd a keen interest in the Councils‘ plan to offer a cityâ€"wide program of receation, in sports, hobby groups, dramatic clubs and social gatherings. All have declared themselves willing to support the . twin councils‘ efforts to give Timmns youth a wider and more wholesomely attractive sphere of activities. WHAT ARE YOUR CHILDREN WORTH TO YOU Mcanwhile, some small satisfaction may be obtained by viewing the activity to the rear of the Goldfields Hotel, gazing with pleasure at the recently modernized Kingston Hotel, and listening to the rumors concerning an addition to the Empire Hotel. These are steps in the right direction, indicating as they do that some business men have hopes for a better and busgier future â€"â€" a future in which the Timmins Board of Trade may play an active part. The time is coming, and soon, when pgrents are going to be asked the above question. It‘ might be a. good idea, therefore, for parents to take stock of tneir family and, in their own minds, to decide just how much they are worth â€"â€" in time, effort and money. The local Board of Trade, inactive during the war, has not as yet issued any appeal for membership. There are reasons for this situation. The tourist business, usually the prime target for Board of Trade activitius in such centres as Timmins, is governed by conâ€" (nuonsl over which the Timimins Board of Trade can have little control. e ne of the most essential of these conditions is good roads. Until the government gets caught up with its road program in the rest of Ontario, it would appear that little can be expected in the way of roadâ€"building in the north.. . When it is possible to drive to Timmins with some degree of comfort, visitors will run ints a further snag â€"â€" thne matter of accomodation. A gentleman came into ‘The Advance office last week, looking fo: accomodaticn for a party of five American visitors. Evidently there were no camps or cottages available for them. The reputation which these visitors will give to Timmins on their return to the States, can ha!m,v be such as wou‘ld encourage other visitors. It would appear obvious that there can be little virtue or common sense in inv.uing tcurists to the Porcupine Camp until we are ready and able to make their stay here a pleasant one.
