THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, PAGE NINE CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY HERE I GIVEN" PRAISE (Continued from page 1) ard of citizenship higher, by steps that are being taken in public wel- e. The Ross Report Some short time ago a commission was appointed which consisted of Messrs. P. D. Ross of Ottawa, E. M Wright and Dr. McCutcheon, to in- vestigate matters and bring before the government a report dealing with social conditions. A most com- "prehensive report was constructed, after thorough study of the situations in General Hospitals, Mental Hospit- als, Penal Institutions and Industrial Schools. Acting on a suggestion in the report the portfolio of Public Welfare was created and its duties are many. In mentioning them the speaker started with the Mothers' Allowance. He stated that 6000 fam- ilies in the province are receiving as- sistance through the Mothers' Al- lowance, Old Age Pensions which is another phase of the department's work, together with the Mothers' Al- lowance seeks the sum of $30,000.00 daily from the government, The Sol- diers' Aid Commission, also is dealt with in this new department and while mentioning this the speaker di- versed somewhat to say that a better way to show our gratitude would be to care properly for those who have returned. from the War, crippled, or for the families of those who did not geturn. Last but not of the least import- ance, "perhaps the most important of all," said Mr. Martin, "is the work that the department does in caring for the neglected and dependent children. | "The chief glory of Can- ada is not her lakes, or her teaming rivers, or her vast. prairies but rather in building within its bordcis a tem- le of humanity founded on faith, ove, brotherhood and the happiness of little children. Every child has a right to be happy." If the parents fail then it is for the government to sce to it that this is made pos- sible," stated Mr. Martin and dealt to some length on what is being do at the prescut tuuc tor the better- "ment of children's conditions, Hos- Jitate of the province offer treatment ree of charge to children in the Aid Societies as also do dental clinics throughout the province. Bowmanville School It was interesting to hear of what the speaker had to say about the In- dustrial Schools: The Bowmanville Training School ranks first in the province for schools of its kind and at a recent convention at Rochester; New York, it was held up along with only three or four others of its kind as being one of the best in the North erican continent. Mr, Martin ex- ined the spirit of B. T. S. and what great influence a few years at that school would have on the future 'fife of the boy who entered it. Plans are being made for some such school for girls. At present the reformatory 7"§8 about the only place where girls who need protection may be sent, > and such places do not offer the pro- per kind of protection. Much is be- ing done for the crippled children of the province, of which there are at the present time 10,000. Schools, Hospitals, and Clinics all are co-op- erating to help protect and care ior the crippled girls and boys and to give them a chance in life. Mr, H. P. Schell, president of the local Children's Aid Society, presid- ~ od at this meeting at which reports "of the different executives were sub- mitted. The same executive as held office for 1920 was again elected, with , out any changes. Those present at . the meeting were delighted. with the singing by the children of the Shel- ter. They were accompanied at the =piano by Miss Colver, the matron. In a most orderly fashion the little tots left the church as soon as their sing- ing was over. A vocal duet was ren- +. dered during the evening by Messrs. D. H. Brown and A. B. Creighton. Miss Colver's Report Miss Colver, the matron at the Shelter, is probably the one most closely in touch with the subjects of the efforts of the Society, Her re- + -port last evening made mention of the kindliness of so many organiza- "gions in the city who willingly and woluntarily assist her in her work from tinie to time. Among these are -* the churches, the women of the house © committee, business firms and the + doctors and nurses of the Health De- . partment, ; " ag Treasurer's Report v Receipts ... voce ees.in... $12,776.10 > Expenditures Maintenance of Shelter .. $ 5511.28 Maintenarce of Wards ...

INSPECTOR _ (Continued from Page 8) service is almost appalligg. Service after all is but love, kindness and charity in action and the ultimate alm of service is to lessen the trou- bles and increase the happiness and well being of others. It is therefore incumbent upon each and all of us to render to the limits of our several abilities this particular kind of ser- vice. Figures at best, cannot commence to indicate the amount of work en- tailed in the performance of our du- ties. If but one interview or one visit to a home completed the task, the work would be much easier and happier, but in most cases many calls are imperative and even when you think you have done your best, the difficulty is not always surmount. ed, Unemployment, laziness, shiftless- ness, drunkenness, desertion, contin- uous nagging and quarrelling on the part of the parents are the chief fac- tors contributing to the neglect and deliquency of the children. We find, too, that there are so many parents who are apparently indifferent to the welfare of their children. They care for them in an animal sort of a fa shion--clothing and feeding them. They will even tell them to get off to school, but this is the result of being compelled to comply with the school law. The greater obligations of caring for and training in all the things that go to make up and establish a real home, they utterly fail. The children are allowed to run anywhere and everywhere they like and at all hours of the night. No attempt what- ever is made to provide home at- tractions for the children. In almost numberless instances the picture show, the street and the horrid mess of reading matter that is being sold to-day, full of all sorts if impure, suggestive and exaggerated stories constitute the major part of the training of our boys and girls and young people. It is not to be won- dered at therefore that so many Bf our young people are growing up im- pure in their thinking and so sadly lax in their morals. Is it to be won- dered at that so many of our young people are growing up impure in their thinking and so sadly lax in their morals. Is it to be wondered at that so many of our young girls even at 13 years of age and older are filling the ranks of unmarried moth- erhood? We have had to deal with thirty. five such cases during the past twelve months. This number is growing year by year and consequently de- manding a very large share of our time and thought. We must try to give these little ones who come to us through no fault of their own, the care and protection to which they are entitled. Each case has to be dealt with on its merits. In most of' the cases we have heen able to make private agreements with the putative fathers with the approval of the Judge and Provincial Officer, whereby a lump sum is paid or a certain sum payable monthly toward medical expenses and the mainten- ance of the child. Turning to other aspects of our work, we find that we have not had as many applications for children this year as last. Last year we had 56, this year 81. I think this is due to the fact that this has been a more stressful year than last ow- ing to so much widespread unemploy- ment. Fifty-nine children were brought to the Children's Home against 40 of last year. Twenty-two children were made wards this year; last year there were 21. We have had a larger number of court attemdances this year; sixty- three as compared with fifty-four. There have been a number of cases of serious offences against young children and girls which were pro- secuted and severe sentences were imposed by the courts, Twenty-one wards were placed out during the year and thirteen were returned temporarily to the Chil- dren's Home and went back again either to their foster: homes or to other homes. $58.65.

North Telephone 2821.2820 | especially suitable for We have been able to complete the necessary legal documents for twen- ty-one adoptions this year, Last year there were thirteen adoptions completed, We are delighted with this feature of our work, These children have without a sipgle excep tion fonud splendid homes and ft would delight your hearts I am sure could you have heard as I have, these new found parents expressing their joy and satisfaction in their newly found treasures. I have yet to recelve a single murmur of com- plaint from any home where we have placed a child during the last four years, Eight of our children have been successfully operated on for removal of tonsils and adenoids. Others have been given eye attention and glasses provided where necessary. Eighteen children have been re- leased from supervision during the year--four having been adopted; ten reaching majority; one death and three married, : The health of our children has been exceptionally good throughout the year. Only one child was com- pelled to lay aside for a few days. He developed a slight touch of pneu- monia following shortly after an op- eration for tonsils and adenoids. Their school attendance records therefore are among the 'best in the city. Just here I would like to refer to the success attending some of our boys in their schoo! work, which I think compares most favorably with that of their classmates who come from other homes. One girl aged seven years, secured 91% standing for the month of October; a boy aged nine years 929; another aged another aged eight | seven years 86%; years 919, and another eight year old 100% in arithmetic. Isn't that something to be proud of? Our children with the exception of four, attend Centre St. Public school and they go to church and Sunday school at Centre St. United Church, the four mentioned attend St. Greg- ory's Separate School and St. Greg: ory's Church. We are deeply grate- ful to the officers of these sce ols and churches for the deep interest they have taken in the welfare of our boys and girls, We are happy to record our appre- clation of the many splendid services rendered by all our city churches, their many organizations and other social and welfare organizations, to our Society and its wards. The Ro- tary, Kiwanis and Kinsman Clubs have each contributed very materially in many ways to the material comfort and pleasure of the boys and girls, We cannot forget the medical men of our city and county for their free and unselfish contributions of time and treatment in behalf of the kid- dies. From various sources out in the county, especially Women's In- stitutes and some organizations in connectton with the churches have come many lovely contributions of fruit, quilts and clothing, etc. All these many kindnesses show us that after all there are hosts of wonder. fully kind hearts all about us sf that the innocence, helplessness an dependence of a little child, no mat- ter what its color, race or social position may be, makes an effective appeal to the best that is within us. Before closing this report I wish to call the attention of our friends to the fact that as a direct result of the work of a Royal Commission named a few months ago by the Pro- vincial Government to survey and report upon all phases touching pub- lic welfare, that mental clinics have been established at strategic centres throughout the Province. We have one such clinic here in Oshawa under the direction of Dr. R. C. Montgom- ery and staff. A large number of cases have already been brought to this clinic and much helpful and valuable work has been accomplished but much more will follow, as their | reports will become a basis for Gov- ernment action in providing places their better care and training. Twelve of our wards have been examined and re- ports to hand show only five out of the twelve as being normal children mentally. We herewith give a few figures that may be of interest in connec- tion with our work: 31 applications for children. 59 children brought to shelter (not wards) --20 from Juvenile Court--13 runaways from Bowmanville Boys' Training School--26 from other sources, 47 children returned to parents. 524 children dealt with. 22 children made wards Society. 4 children gchools--1 to Training school, 2 to St. Mary's In- dustrial school and 1 to Mimico In- dustrial school. 132 complaints. 216 investigations. $30 mail received. 859 mall sent out. 14 meetings attended or addressed 7251 mileage (approximate) covered 441 Office interviews. 1 parent prosecuted. 144 places visited outside the city. 63 Court attendances. § wards in foster homes heard from 21 wards placed out. 13 wards returned to the shelter. 111 wards visited. 7 warnings given, 35 U.P. Cases. 21 legal adoptions completed. 8 children taken to the hospital for treatment. 18 wards released from supervi- sion. : There were 20 wards from the city in the Home at intervals from Oc- tober 1929 to October 1930, a total of 4654 days, five of them being there for the whole year.. There were 18 wgrds from the county in the Home at intervals from October 1929 to Oc- tober 1930, a total of 4293 dwys, nine if them being in for the whole year. 'here were 59 other children in the of the Industrial Boys' sent to Bowmanville | Home for a total of 408 days. Mak- ng a total--97 children for the year with a total number of 93556 days or an average of about 86% days for each child. There were 24 children in the Home at the end of October, 1930. During the year we have become 'nicely settled in our new Home. and our matron and the children are very happy. Miss Colver has her task well in hand, her influence over the children is splendid and there is abundant evidence that great admiration and her. A splendid fence encloses the rear of our premises. This adds greatly to its value and ornamentation, For this, as for other generous contribu. tions to our work we are again in- debted to Mr. J. D, Storie. 'We are living in hopeful expec- tancy that some one of these bright days, some other generous hearted friend or friends will help us in the improvements and ornamentation ne- cessary to complete the approaches and lawns at the front of our build- ings. The ladies of our Society have done their share in all the work of the Society, They neglect nothing. With them we express our appreciation of the splendid work of Mrs, E. W. Drew as chairlady of the house com- mittee up to the time of her long fllness and we ull sincerely wish her a complete recovery. My personal thanks are hereby tendered to each and every individual, public or pri- vate organization, or institution, in- cluding the "Press," who by their hearty co-operation, so materially as- sisted in the carrying out of the work in our particular division of public service and community wel- fare." PATRIOTISM AND PEACE KEYNOTES they have respect for (Continued from Page 3) the program of the evening was con- ducted without a hitch, Silent Toast After the toast to the King had been drunk, there followed a silent toast to the memory of fallen com- rades, the reverent pause being fin- ally broken by a bugler sounding "The Last Post" and "The Reveille." A cordial welcome was extended to all by Toastmaster Hood, who pointed out that the observance of the Armistice anniversary period had a special significance to the Canadian Legion and was regarded by {ts mem- bers with particular reverence. "It is at once a glorious and a sad occasion," Mr. Hood said in the course of his appropriate introduc- tory remarks. "We remember with mixed. feelings of pride and sorrow those comrades who did not return with us from overseas. It is there- for with pleasure that the officers and members of the Oshawa branch of the Legion find the banquet hall crowded on an ocasion of this kind as we are all here with a common thought--to see that the memory of those departed ones is never forgot- ten." * "Having served time of war," Mr. Hood sald, "we are now endeavoring to serve it in time of peace. We wish to help those of our comrades who--through their service overseas need our help We will at all times endeavor to do our best for those comrades who have met with misfortune and to see that none shall suffér unnecessarily and that no widows nor orphans shall go without assistance.' The Oshawa branch is planning to build a suitable building to house its activities, the toastmaster said, and he was glad to announce that the city council had promised that it would donate a suitable site. Refer- ring to the Dominion convention of the Legion which wil be held here next August, Mr. Hood said that it coincided with the great biennial convention of the British Empire Service league and it was therefor probable that some of the leaders of this great Imperial organization would be visitors in Oshawa. That a city is more than brick and mortar but possesses a spirit, was the thought expressed by 'Col. B, J. McCormick, secretary of the Cham- ber of Commerce, in proposing the toast to "Our City." Col. McCormick referred to the efforts of the Cham- ber of Commerce, in endeavoring to attract new industries to Oshawa so | that its citizens might have a better chance in that common pastime of chasing down the elusive dollar. Col, McCormick said that he believed {here was a fine spirit of co-operation pervading Oshawa which bode well for the future. In replying to the toast to "Our City," Mayor T. B. Mitchell took oc- casion first to welcome Col. McKay to Oshawa. He believed he was no stranger here"but had played a part in the organization of the local Le- gion branch. "If is not an easy thing to talk to tue citizens about the city of Osh- awa at the present time," His Wor. ship said. "I believe that it is no exaggeration that I have had one of the hardest jobs of any mayer in the city's history." Mayor Mitchell struck a note of op- timism for the future, however, "It is an easy job to run the old bus when all the cylinders are 'hit ting," His Worship said, "but it is not go easy when a few of the cylin. ders are missing, and we are con- fronted by a hill, Oshawa has not been hitting on all cylinders during the past few months but we are climbing the hill and soon we shall reach the top and be able to coast along over the other mde. Oshawa has taken a courageous stand and is resolutely facing its problems. Mayor Mitchell said it had tackled its unemployment problem and as a result of the steps which the city council had taken the gov- ernment has given the municipality a generous grant for unemployment relief works. His Worship stressed the need of developing the harbor amd ex- pressed the belief that the city may have lost much through the fact that the harbor was left in idle- ness years. Ahove all, Mayor Mitchell said, team work is. needed for the growth and expansion of the city. There was, he believed, a fine spirit .of co-operation existing. in the city. "Let us have faith in the fu. ture," he said in closing. "Our Empire has a long and worthy history," stated Geo. W. Mc- Laughlin, in proposing a toast to 'Our Country and Empire'. . our country in "Canada too, boasts a wonder- ful history," he said. The age of trade and commerce which set in about the reign of Elizabeth, was the most important in the annals of the Empire, he said, Trade and commerce has grown to such an extent that at the present time, production seems to have outstripped commerce, This unusual situation, Mr, Mec- Laughlin believed, had resulted from the fact that during the Great War the best brains of the nations had been devoted to the speeding up of production of things needed to carry on that mighty conflict, What had been learned in war bad been improved upon and, developed in time of peace. But he was firmly convinced that in spite of the present depression, things would work out right in the near future and he expressed faith in the destiny of Canada and of the Empire. The speaker, who had been in- troduced as "the soldier's friend" pald tribute to the work of the Legion and wished it success In all its endeavors, G. D. Conant, president of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, ably responded to the toast and in a concise way outlined the rela- tions between Canade and the Bri- tish Empire. Canada, he thought, was not doing its full share in the defence of the Empire and he ven- tured to state that were it not for the security provided by Britain's armaments, the Dominion might find it difficult to defend f{tself, due to its long coastline and slim population, Canadians, who gave their lives in service overseas, had done their part to preserve a "Vast- er Empire than has been," Mr/ Conant said and he paid tribute to the Canadian Legion as an or- ganization which was endeavoring to preserve the integrity of the Empire in the future. The toast to the Canadian Le- gion was proposed by Col. Frank Chappell who said that the Legion had its birth in the fact that men who learned to know the true meaning of comradeship while fighting for their country, desired to continue that splendid spirit of comradeship in time of peace. Chivalry, great strength of char- acter and a willingness to sacrifice were commonly shown during the days of the great world struggle, Col. Chappell said and he expressed strong resentment for "debased: authors who feed the public with hooks on war filled full of the deeds of brothels." The legion had a great purpose to fulfill, he sald, and he was con- vinced that by its efforts, justice would be given to those men whose lives had been handicapped by their war service. He pald tribute to the fine work which had been rendered the Legion by Mr. Hood, and described him as a great source of {inspiration and energy for fellow members. Lt.~<Col, McKay The aims and objects of the Canadian Legion and an earnest ap- peal that every member do his part was voiced in a masterful address by Lt--Col. J. Kelllor McKay, pro- vincial president, who was intro- duced by the toastmaster as one whose indefegatible labors and skilful leadership have done much for the advancement of the Legion in Ontario and in Canada. Lt.-Col. McKay spoke with force and marked eloquence, he was mo- dest in alluding to his own share in the Legion work but it was with great zeal that he called upon each and every member to do his ut- most to make the organization a mighty force in Canada and in the Empire. : "The end of great labors is not rest," the speaker sald in ringing tones, 'but renewed effort for greater achievements." Armistice Dav broneht ta mind many sacred memories, he com- monted and he referred u "Army of the Dead" which will never be forgotten. "The keenest and best were first to go," he sald, "and they were also the first to fall. No one gan measure the loss which we have sustained." The year 1414, was an impori- ant turning pdint in the world's history, Lt.-Col. McKay sald and the Canadian Legion arose out of the chaos and disorder which marked the years following the war, on the horrors and of war, the speaker emphasized that the Legion wished to lay firm and sound the foundations of last- ing peace, "A peace,' he urged, con- sistent with national duty and na- tional dignity and integrity." "It is a bulwark against unconsti- tutional methods." "We are endeavoring to form a strong link in the British Empire," the provincial president said. "We whose comrades fell side by side with Australlane, New Zealanders and Britishers are anxious that the Empire shall not be weakened and that united in war we shall stand united in ce." The important work which the Legion is doing in endeavoring to assist comrades whose lives have been blasted by their war service was also dwelt upon by the speak- er. Every ex-service man should join the cause and he held no briet for officers, who having led their men in battle, failed to associate with them in the difficult days which have followed. He paid high tribute to the efforts and zeal of M. Mcintyre Hood, whom he said had lent invaluable assistance in the cause of the Legion. "Carry On" A message to "carry on" was tin, who in a few brief words ex- pressed his pléasure at being able to attend: the banguet. The new minister of public welfare spoke of the supreme sacrifice which eo many men bad paid in the cause of freedom and he commended the Legion for continuing in the spirit which had been manifested by the fallen. The toast to the Oshawa branch Dwelling for a few minutes up- | gruesomeness | brought by Hon. the Rev, Mr. Mar- | of the Legion was proposed by A. B., O'Nefll, principal of the Osh- awa Collegiate and Vocational In- stitute while it was responded to by President George Walsh, who pointed out that the local branch now ranks third in the province. President Walsh praised the work of the branch executives, both past and present and also commented upon the help which has been ren- dered by Mr. Hood as adjustment officer, To T. K, Creighton, vice-presi- dent of the Oshawa branch, was left the pleasant duty of calling upon all to join in a toast to the ladies which he did in capable fa- shion. Mrs. H. Foote, president of the Ladies' Auxiliary, made fit- ting reply, and pointed out that the ladies were always willing and anxious to help the Legion at any time. 2 Fine solos by William Harmer, George Walsh and George Smith, added much to the evening's en- Jjoyment and were much appreciat- ed as indicated by the generous applause which was occorded the artists. The Genosha Hotel Orches- tra, including C. Cox, A. Mox and 8. Collis, rendered several pleasing numbers under the direction of Captain Geo, Norrie, late of the | Royal Flying Corpe. The banquet was brought to a happy conclusion with the sing- ing of "Auld Lang Syne" and the | National Anthem.
