SOCIAL SERVICE COUNCIL Its Need Is Outlined to Kings- ton Kiwanians by Peter Bryce. ---- The need for a social service coun- cll in Kingston was the subject of an |address by Peter Bryce, Toronto, be- {fore the Kiwanis Club at the weekly {luncheon in the Frontenac hote] on (Monday. / Mr. Bryce outlined briefly {the work accomplished in the city of | Toronto where there were fifty-five | phflanthropte charitable and religious | bodies dealing with social welfare and [the unemployment problems. The | work was done in & haphazard man- ner and there wae much overlapping. The formetion of the Social Service Council eliminated all this and by the application of business to sentiment made the work more effective and placed it upon a permanent basis. It was in a position to provide the funds tc meet all the demands of the fifty: five organizations and this'year it has J [tbe certainty of being able to deal with what demands mey arise' "You must always remember," 'gadd the {speaker, "that while about five per |cent, of the persons who come under the consideration of the council, are unemployable, there are about eighty- 'five per oent. in actual need of assist- || ence and entitled to ft. What we try, above all else, to do is to make self- dependence our aim, but the vers best must be done for children, for the weak and helpless." "The Rotary and Kiwanls clubs got behind the organization of the Social dervice Council in Tronto to make ft efficient, eliminate overlap- ping and put family welfare work on a high plane of excellence. There is in every community human need and this should not be left to sporadic effort, but we should be in a position to find out whet needs to be done and see that it is done. The under-priv- Heged must be given an opportunity. 1 | The social service worker has been described as ome who takes money from one person or several poreons and gives it to thers, and this is BE QuebecHeaters WITH OVENS are just the thing for small kitchens--they take up so little space.

The speaker concluded with a strong appeal for the forma- | Kingston. | A hearty vote of thanks was ten- dered to Mr. Bryce on a motion of Prof. Jolliffe, seconded by Frank Anglin, and on a motion of F. J. Hoag, B. N. Steacy, H. C. Nickle and i P. E. Burns were appointed delegates | to the civic organization meeting on | Monday night. Noble Steacy presided and the singing led by Garnet Lockett was very fine. Several poets were an- | nounced but were not subjected to the penalty of singing their own pro- ductions, Two mew members, Wend- ling Anghn, of the firm of Johnston | and Ward stock brokers, and W. M. | Nickle, Barrister, of the law firm of | Nickle, Farrell and Day, were intro- duced by Harry Newman in a man- ner highly complimentary, During tive roll call the following guests were announced: Peter Bryce, Toronto, Lt.-Col B. J. McDonald, D.8.0., M.C., officer commanding the Lord Btratchona Horse, Calgary, A. Lemmon, Rev. Dr. H. H. Bell, Oliver Chown, Captain Vokes. Major-Gen. Sir Archibald Maec- donell, commandant of the Royal MiMtary College, was the booster, | and, In addition to providing a beau- titul historical sketch, with pictorial | views, of the college for each mem- | ber and guest, gave several very fine | prizes that were won by Fred Wilson, | Arnott Minnes, /Eugene Dennee, | Harry Wilder, J/ 8. Asselstine, Co- | lumbus Hanley, Walter Cusick, Mur- | dock Johnston and Howard Dick. | Quite a number fafled to obtain prizes | owing to absence from the last two | meetings. | ------------ | CAUTION PREVENTS FIRES, | Clean Up of All Districts is Necessary | For Kingston's Protection. It has been said that fire, under oontrol, is man's greatest friend, and that fire, out of control, is man's greatest enemy. In Fire Prevention Week, there is a seeking after the perpetual chain- ing of man's greatest enemy so that it becomes man's most powerful friend. The campaign has as its object not only a reduction of the. stupendous fire loss which the Dominion suffers | yeanly, but in addition the genera! Improvement of homes and their sur- roundings, to the end that all danger of fire may be a thing of the past. Carelessness and neglect of rub- bish are two great causes of fire; and with a general clean-up campaign and the instilling into home-owners and tenants a pride in their surround- ings, these two sources would be re- moved. Amhition cannot be furthered with- out pride In what bag already been accomplished, and a city cannot forge 2head unless citizens can sit back in' their few leisure moments and view with complacency what has already been accomplished, Sst, Oitizens Must Help, Houses, well painted and in good renalr, with neatly-kept back yards and gardens, can be a source of pride to any city, but dust and rubbish | piles, : 7d sordid vistas of worn and weather-stained lumber can be an in- &pdration to nobody, much less an aid tc the advancement of a city. To that end Kingston may keep up its low fire loss record, the movement for fire prevention has been wide- opread amongst citizens, Prevention is decidedly better than cure, In the case of fire, and fire can- not be prevented without an attend- ant clean-up of homes and buildings in the city. ' No fire-prevention campaign can be carrled to a successful completion without the aid of the women of Kingston. The use of electricity has, somewhat contrary to the general trend of opinion, done away to a great extent with danger of fire, since it caused the passing out of the old ofl lamps end other dangerous im- plements, but there ds etill an ele- ment of danger caused by careless- ness, and neglect of children which allows them to indulge in pranks, However, equal responefbility rests upon men who are careless smokers, and between the two, that is to say, amongst all the citizens of Kingston, there must be a close co-operation, that the city may be genuinely im- proved and all danger of fire reduced to a mindmum, tin Issues Timely Warning. The Dominion fire commissioner at Ottawa recently compelled a list of common causes of fires, named under two headings. Under the first is men- tioned the spontaneous combustion of ofls, paper, waste, benzine, rubbish, oily "Are we as careful as we should be?" Out of an experience of long stand- ing, the Dominion fire commissioner says: : "Don't overvalue your property when placing insurance. "Dom't start fires in stoves, fur- | races or fireplaces, unless you are sure the flues and chimneys are clean, "Don't allow 4 stove pipe to come in contact with wood. Use cement tin or galvanized iron where the pipe goes through." . . "Don't wash clothing or other arti- cles in gasoline, benzine or naphtha, nor alow it'to be kept in your house. PROBS: --Wednesday, cloudy and showery. "Don't throw water on flames caused by burning gasoline, berzine, napbtha or coal as #t spreads the flames. - Smother fire with a rug or covering of some kind. "Don't use any but safety matches; others are dangerous. "Don't permit children to play with matches or start bonfires." : EE SUPERVALUEGIVING | The feature attraction at Steacy's Great Opening Sale Follow the crowds of thrift better store 'and share in the man y shoppers to Steacy's bigger and y rare economies offered through the medium of this stupendous sale event.
