Chumiian Welfare President Speaks at Englehart "The responsibility assumed for the restoration to positive living ofa person who has become out of step with his surrounding en- vironment, must surely be assum- ed as well for that environment." This was the core of an address by Robert A. Willson, Director of Indutsrial Relations for the Studebaker Corporation of Can- ada and President of the Com- munity Council of Canada, speak- ing to the Children's Aid Society in the Englehart Public School last week. "The community itself, as can all recognize" he said, continuously spawning new ten- sions and problems as well as re- solving others. As public health administrators so often point out there-is not much sense in treat- ing the disease of an individual we "Gs without also doing everything possible to ensure the continued health of those not now offected, Whether we are clients of a wel- fare agency or citizens in need of community insurance, it is heart- ening to us to see the evidence in workshops, conferences and in public and professional attitudes that the skilled attention of our social workers is being brought to bear upon the whole cgmmun- ity? medical science has however 'Just as proven that symptoms: slight, are symptoms thing wrong with the total per- son, so the individual reflects on the whole community. Welfare workers must therefore listen to the whole community and plan ahead to keep it healthy." Mr. Willson suggested that laymen and volunteers be brought into the welfare agency sq_ that they might live rewarding ex- perience in terms of their own needs--the need for recognition (Continued on Page 4) of some- NOTICE The Municipal Detachment Licensing Police will issue summonses after SUNDAY, APRIL 18th to all Dog Owners who have not purchased a Dog Tag under the Municipal By-law governing of the Ontario Provincial of Dogs. | Sunday School at : fos bg ise WHAT IS MISSING ?

The $100.00 grant will however be one and the same amount as requested earlier by the Chamber for yearly as- sistance to be spent as they see fit as Mayor Day made it clear at the Jubilee meetings that the Town could not gd to any e€x- penditure in support of the fes- | tivities. ok}OK Agreed that the B.A. Service Station was free to move their sign for' improved visibility as it is now obscured to northbound traffic. ait RR Learned from Gordon Davies that he had a petition of 37 names with only two refusals from homeowners who wish sew~ ers west of the track. Council- lor Poppleton read the Town Foreman's estimates on this and proposed that in view of other factors which enter into a final analysis of actual costs to the ratepayer and the town that plans for both this and the project in the south Rorke vicinity be final- ized at next meeting of council. OOK Rented the weed,sprayer to the 'Yownships of Casey and Brethour for $50,00 until June lst to assist them in the spraying of cattle to chase warble flies out of Temis- kaming. The field man for the Federation of Agriculture ex- plained that six townships were done last year and of four town- ships they planned to do thts year, only these two did not have a proper sprayer. EERE Heard a letter from the Board of Education stating that 12 months had passed since they had asked for improved lighting at the school. Chairman of Light A. Mosher suggested the imme- Giate instaliation of floodlighits at the NW and SW corners the school building as a 'trial run to determine their effectiveness lf it proves successful, he sug- gested the installation of a time clock to control the turning off and on of lights. sO IK Were advisd by Hydro that twelve of the twenty-eight lights as instructed last year had been installed in town and that they were withholding the balance as advised. No further action was taken. FORA A Instructed D. H. Millar to study the former Gainsford pro- perty on Latchford Street and if an offer of $350.00 from M. J Hurteau appeared reasonable to go ahead with the asle. OI Granted the request of Fire Chief Watson for four extra men fora month to burn grass. Op- posed was Councillor Gardner who "'could not for the life of me see the necessity of four men for a month." After looking at the number of lots and hearing Fireman J. Hallworth point out that you couldn't just throw a match here, there and every- where to get rid of 'the grass Council agreed with C. Camgel) "that Fire Chief had been doing the job for twenty-five years and should know what he is_ talking about." 201100 Had the first and second read- ing of a By-law recommended to them this year by Constables Clive and Berry to regulate traf- fic and parking inthe town. Only objection came from Don Gar- dner who still thinks a U-turn at Broadway and Ferguson is all right but finally agreed with the Fire Chairman A. Mosher that "no parking" signs were neces- sary at all hotel entrances. IK Received a talk from the Fire Chief on the Brigade's plans for the Diamond Jubilee. Wagon races are in store for the occasion and Councillor Poppelton agreed that the Lake Shore Road from Broadway to Amwell could be put in good condition. FRA Fixed Monday, April 26th as the day when the special meeting will be held. Final approval of the budget has not been received from the Department of Muni- cipal Affairs. : of.

Near [otal |Loss as Fire Sweeps Through Home Fire wihch swept the home of Mrs. Suzanne Bourget on Mon- day at one o'clock has almost completely destroyed her house- hold furnishings and bedding and left children and adults of all ages with next to nothing in the way of clothing. We appeal to- dayfto our fellow citizens to do what they can to render assis- tance which may be left at thé home of Mrs. Ben Bourget, Mer- idian Avenue. We provide a list of the persons affected: Mrs. Suzanne Bourget, size 38, or 40, shoe 6%. Lena Bourget: age 18, size 36 shoe 6%. Florianne Bourget, age 14, size 16, shoe 7. Suzanne Bourget, age 13, size 12, shoe 5. Mrs. John Bourget, size 12 shoe 5. Her ten-month -old baby (a clothesline of diapers went up in Alames). Albert Bourget (size 40) was perhaps the saddest of all for with his brother, Aime, he had given his mother all the electrical equipment for the kitchen from the washing machine to the toast- er--a total loss. He also lost his room furnishings and all his clothes except a coat. Aime's were in an upstairs clothes closet and were saved. Ronald Rhainds (size 40) has only the white hospital suit which he was wearing at work. Peter Gravel, who was mar- ried on Saturday to Ardeth Pal- mer, was ready to go on his holi- days and saved his suitcases. Heroine of the fire is young Suzanne: off to school and saw the flames leaping up under the roof of the back porch. Her screams wakened her mother from her rest, "thinking some- one had been killed." The child raced upstairs, snatched the baby from the crib under the window ever the porch and wakened the sleeping Ronald Rhainds.. At once, Mrs. Bourget realized the fire was beyond control and) the only important thing was the safety of all, including the young son of Ray Forget whom she was caring for while his mother was in the hospital. Firemen ran three lines of hose and battled furiously to defeat the blaze but pyrite shingles had created intense heat which broke the windows, ignited the curtains and, fanned by a southeast wind the flames swept through the building. Insurance only partly covered the furnishings and Mrs. Bour- get is presently paying for the home which she had planned tc own one day and re-model. Cause of the fire lis as yet un- known. - "Parents Needed for Children" Says C.A.S. Superintendent A profound realization of the vital role the Children's Aid So- ciety plays in the life of our com- munity was brought home to those attending the Children's Aid Society's annual meeting in Englehart on Wednesday evening when the superintendent, Mrs. N. Fox presenttied her annual report. esented her annual erport. "Many parents', she said, "are just like you and me. We Start ott this job of parenthood with bright hopes and fond dreams We love our children and want . tnem the very best we cau provide. The more fortunate may settle for less than they hoped for vut their children grow to matur- iy secure ina family relationship that is protective and loving. The less fortunate have met with problems along the way which they could not handle. It may have been illness, unemployment, marital confiict or the complexi- ties of modern living. Alcohol- ism or immorality or desertion or all three in any combination do not just happen--they are the results of earlier problems that could not be solved and could be avoided if help were available. This is the kind of help the Soci- ety is trying to give and during 1953, it reached out to a thou sand children in 367 families. Warning against smugness Mrs. Fox said that in spite of such service, 54 childrn were so neglected that court action removed them from the custody of their parents. It has been a strange develop- ment in Ontario that thousands of dollars have been available for children's care after the home is broken while supporting services have been dependent on private charity. We are glad to note that new provincial legislation provides for the first time for the financing of certain protective services in Northern Ontario. "The need to belong," Mrs. Fox ointed out, "places the child born to an unmarried mother in 'a &tragic position and his moth- er also for the tie between them is just as strong whether socially acceptable or not." Listing the services which the Society can and does render to unmarried mothers in the area, Mrs. Fox expressed the belief "that it can never really soften the situation." said, the best thing was to pre- serve the fabric of the home; fail- ing that, they must try to estab- lish another family group by ar rangtfg for adoption; the least satisfactory was that in which the child become a legal ward of the Society and had to be ex- vensively kept ina foster home-- a poor imitation of loving care and security. During 1953, 28 children were placed for adoption. In a moving appeal, Mrs. Fox pointed out that this was not good enough. "More cf the childen in our care should he in "permanent homes. How- ever, bringing the child and pa- rnts together was a tremendous responsibility and the shortage of skilled workers was acute. The Society was legal guardian during 1953 to 403 children. Of these, 241 have been in boarding care for over a year. Their fos- {er parents are wonderful people but their very nature as tempor ary parents denies the security the children so need. Still, we need these temporary homes for there are many who for different reasons could not adjust to a real home life Real protection mist t re, Mrs .Fox concluded, incl *= adoption services so that as m> as can may know theassurance of being loved in a new family set- ting and at the same_ time the Society must work toward-2 closer relationship with the child to whom we are the parent. Cars Collide On Lake Shore Road Attempting to back across the road in front of the B.A. Service Station at the corner of Probyn and the Lake Shore Road on Monday +t five o'clock, a car driven py Samuel Ramsay of Pucke Township was struck by a northbound car operated by Leo Sneider of Cane.
