As far as possible the Children's Aid Society tries to keep the child in his own home by helping par- ents to overcome conditions which result in the neglect of children.

This is not being done to give a Gallic aid to conversation, but as an aid to the police.

At a noon luncheon held in the Community Memorial Hall last Monday New Liskeard Kiwanis Club learned that Canada is rap- idly losing its export market, and that Canadians are placing obstac- les in the way of industry that might come to this country. Richard H. Stapleford, Trade and Industrial Commissioner for Ont- ario House, London, England, said that European industry re- fused to come to this country and build unless assured of a market for their products. "'They would like to ship their own goods first, and test the market," he _ said, "but the heavy duty does not en- courage this.". "In Europe and Great Britain manufacturers charge the home market top price for their prod- ducts,'"' he explained, "and ship their surplus to other countries at a much lower price but Canada's dumping duties prevent this." Mr. Stapleford said also that other manufacturers and agent's . <>. diddumich to discourage newcom- AA "ey 8 "= \ Another obstacle to Canadian progress and:the reason for the less of important export markets is the high cost of labor, the com- missioner said. Canada could deteriorate into a position when it would be attrac- tive only as a source of raw ma- terial unless some definite action is taken," said the Speaker.

Early Monday morning Cobalt Fire Department was called to fight a fire which had broken out in the old Ste. Therese Separate School which has been empty since last Spring. They found fires blazing in two of the rooms, and the floors partly burned through. 'The fires were quickly smothered, and an inves- tigation started. Police say that there was a trail of blood all over the school. Later in the day reports started coming in to police headquarters of further breaches of the peace, a woman said that she had seen two men break the street light in front of the Post Office, and then hurl a stone at the Liquor Store window which missed. They then moved south along the road. From there the men apparently walked to O. J. LeBlanc's Ser- vice Station where .they tried to force a back window. Then they smashed a window in a locked car and tried unsuccessfully to start it by crossing the ignition wires. From there the men travelled to the north end of town and hurled a big rock through the window of C. E. Cain's Furniture Store. Pools of blood at all points suggested that the same person was present and' assisting with all the criminal acts. : Inspector H. Reynardson of the Ontario Fire Marshall's Office was in Cobalt Tuesday to investigate the fires at the school. J.
