FIRST RECORD OF RELIEF {Recalling the History of Soclal Service Work in King= ston. In view of the great need for social service work in our city today andthe splendid efforts made by the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs and other societias to meet the situation caused by the length of time the bread-winners of many homes have been out ofemploy- ment, it may be ef interes to go back {a century and a half to what is prob- {ably the first record of relief given, which may be found in the "Parish Register of Kingston, edited by Prof. A. H. Young, Trinity College, Toron- to, where we read of a Mrs, Aregill, a Mrs. Whitney, a Mrs. Taylor, recetv- ing aid, including money for rent, a bedstead, cloth for a cloak, blankets, "sheeting for a straw bed," a bottle of wine and a pound of candles, dur ing February 1799, from St. George's parish, Rev. John Stuar! being then gector. In an instructive pamphlet written by Miss Agnes Maule Machar entitled "Past Social Service of the Women of Kingston," which 'ells its readers of a century of the activities of women in this direction, we read of the founding, sometime prior to 1820, of the 'Female Benevolent So- ciety". In 1815, as thers was no school for the poorer children, som» of the leading men formed the Mid- land District School Soclety, reports of the meetings of which are record- ed in the "Kingston Gazette", of Dec. 30th, 1815, with the names of the following trustees attached, Allan MacLean, Thomas Markland, Law- rence Herchmer and William Mitca- ell. Three schools weffe es'mblished, the largest being held In the old building now demolished, which stood opposite Sydenham Methodist chureh, known then as the "Line Bar- racks." There the scholars learned gardening, sewing and the '"Thres R's" as well as 'their manners". The F.B.S. reports of 1812 five years after the town was incorporated show 200 children, which were nearly all the scholars in attendance, were assisted with clothing to enable them to go "0 school. In 1821 the F.B.S. felt the need of a hospital so keenly that they set on foot a movement for the first Kingston hospital which was estab- lished in one of the old block houses and continued till destroyed by fire in the thirties. The outbreak of ty- phus brought by the Irish immigrants fleeing from famine in their own land, who were so devotedly minister- ed to by Dr. John Mair (whose grand- daughters are still in Kingston) and who sleep beside the present hospital guarded by an angel in marble, made the building of a permanent hospi'al necessary. Some of the namegon the early list of the F.B.S. are Mrs. Joan Stuart, Mrs. John Machar, Mrs. Rich- ard Cartwright, Mre, John Muckle- ston, Miss Macdonald, a sister of Sir John, and Mrs. John Macpherson. While a* all times the effort to keep the home together was made, ®t was thought that a place for triendless children, eged people and those left desti'ute by having the bread-winner falling victim to 'the dread typhus was needed, a "Refuge" was secured at the head of Princess street, later from this came the Orphans' Home, 'he Infants Home, the House of Prov- idence end the Home for the Aged. A society known as the Ladies' Bene- volent Soclety, for work among th first Romen Catholic poor Ww formed by Bishop Gaulin in connec: tion with the Sisters of St. Joseph, later the Hotel Dieu was establish- ed on Brock street, and later still re- placed by -the splendid, up-to-date puilding of to-day. St. Vincent de Paul Society and the Children of Mary have developed among the laiety of the Roman Church, and are now of inestimable value to the com- munity. From the Female Benevo- lent Society developed the Poor Re- lief Society, to whose wise and con- structive work many families, now among our most respected citizens, owe their start toward success, num- bers of the committee who gave kind- ly, firm, yet sympathetic ald, in the years gone by, have had the pleasure of seeing the progress toward inde- pendence made by those they helped and of hearing from their lips their gratitude for past assistance, "A pro- vident savings scheme' was kept up for some years and then came the Food and Fuel Club of the Charity Circle of Kings Daughters by which in the last twenty-seven years $27, 184 has been collected by girls and young women, who pay on an aver- age 200 visits a week, coming in touch with the poorer people, willing to 4ake ten cents on the card and come back with a smile next week, hoping for a quarter towards the win- ter coal, teaching thrift and fore- thought to the newcomer from the old land, sending Christmas fare, clothes for the new baby and becom- ing trusted friends of the family whe wouldn't miss the "visiting lady." for the world. of the jubilee of the late Queen Vie- toria, Lady Aberdeen founded the Victorian Order of Nurses, which ever since has been of such inestim- able benefit to the people of King- ston.

Every congre- gation in the city has its band of| earnest workers, who accomplish much that is of benefit fo the com- munity, and at present the unem- ployment committee and the city poor relief are coping with the ex- isting situation. During the years of the war the difficult task of admin- istrating the patriotic fund was ac- co'uphished with kindness and wis- dor: by the president and committee in charge. The influenza epidemic, which took kind-hearted people now to the work into some of the poo homes to nurse the sick, brought an outcry against the housing condi- of anxiety to the social workers and efforts have been made to improve ed who, it is hoped, will continue the good work wrought by the women of Kingston for generations, who went forth to visit "the fatherless and the widow in their affliction," in the name of Him who said: "Inasmuch &8 ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." THE ORE CHIMNEY MINES, Northbrook Poet Tells About Pro- moters, Staff and Workmen. | Northbrook, Feb. 6.---The Ore Chimney Mining Company are fas: | unloading cars of machinedy for their plant.

'There ds Fletcher and Cum- mings who top the list just now and the deals that they put over makes 'em wonder when and how, but they are mighty diplomatic and team work is their cue.
