The Queen St. Auxiliary Red Cross have decided to adjourn their meat ings during the hot months of July and August, the members continuing the work in their own homes. Since last March the following articles have been sent in to the Canadian Red Cross headquarters: 45 pyjama suits and 46 towels, 80 pairs of socks and 17 anti vermin shirts to the Union Jack Chapter of the I.O.D.E., Mimi- co, tor the individual parcels for the soldier boys overseas. Wool was do- nated by that order. The auxiliary have twenty-nine members _orl the roll and more would be cordially wel- comed, the work being so urgently needed. _ The will of the late Mr. James Bedintrtiejd, at one time a. resident of Mimico and property owner of Mimi- co, has been filed for probate. The estate is of the value of a little over $13,000, and the widow is the chief beneficiary. . Literary evening of the Epworth League was held Monday, June 24th, in the Methodist church. Miss Ger- trude Prest, a former member and worker of the League, gave a; very interesting reading, "The Other Wise Man," which was greatly enjoyed by all. Miss Pearl Brown read the scrip- ture lesson, and a duet was rendered by Miss Small and Miss Batstone, which resulted in a very successful meeting. _ Mr. and Mrs. Maleo1msion have left Mimico to reside at Freeman, near Burlington Beach. Mr. Malcolmsbn is a yard foreman in the employ of the Grand Trunk and Mrs. Malcolm- son has been an active worker in connection with the Presbyterian church. Mrs. Andrew Dods and family have left for Browning's Island, where they will spend the summer. The public school trustees held their regular meeting on Saturday evening. Only ordinary routine busi- ness was entered into and the meet- ing adjourned early. About thirty members of Connaught Lodge, A. F. & A. M., paid a visit last Tuesday night to Ionic Lodge, No. 229, Brampton. The ocasion was the official visit of the District Grand Master. T The high school entrance and jun- ior gnaduation examinations tor this district were held at the Mimico pub- lic school last week. Of the 51 Candi... dates who WI‘OCB on these examina- tions 40 were from Mimico school.' Mr. Pte.

At the regular mothers' meeting held at the home of Mrs. Ogden, Bri- gadier /Mrs) Fraser gave a most in- teresting address to those present up- on her-experiences in England during the war. The lady spoke in terms of the warmest praise and appreciation of the great kindness and considera- tion shown to the Canadian soldiers by the English people and expressed her delight and wonder at the beau- ty of old England. She instanced sev- eral cases where large country hous- es had been given up exclusively tor the use ot the boys from Canada by the owners, who did all they possibly could for their comfort and well be- Ing. . Richard Banks of M,irnico had his ankle broken whilst playing baseball with the Steel Company of Canada's team in a practice game on Wednes- day. Dr. Serson attended the injured boy, who was taken to his home and is progressing favorably. . The Memorial InstituteofToronto The Memorial Institute ot Toronto are arranging to accommodate about twenty-five persons in tents for the summer season. The camp will be on Mrs. Crow's property. The Memorial Institute works amongst the needy people of the’city and the object of the Institute is to provide the oppor- tunity for the needy people to obtain the benefits of a summer season in Mimico. , _ These meetings are-well attended and are made interesting by the speakers who. attend from time to time. Mr. Fred Burgess of Vancouver is visiting his parents on Cavell St. QUEEN ST. AUXILIARY I.O.D.E. ARE YOU SATISFIED? MIMICO As you pass through the village you see the great need for a general clean- up day. This is made more apparent as the Goodyear are improving their grounds. Brown's have made a beau- tiful front to their office also. What is required now is a general clean-up of the streets. ‘If each store and each dwelling house and each vacant lot owner would look after bis place, the streets would be improved 50 per cent. Try it out and you will see the result. The council will again be. approach- ed on the question of obtaining an- other school site, as the trustees are convinced that an additional site will be a necessity in the near future. The chairman will take this matter up with the council. The soldier boys of New Toronto will be the recipients of 85 more par- cels which have been sent off to them by the ladies of Soldiers' Comforts Association. The parcels which were packed at the home of Mrs. E. James, contain socks, biscuits, fruit cake, maple sugar, tobacco and cigarettes. The parcels are valued at one dollar and titty ttents each. The regular meeting of the school trustees was held on Friday evening. Trustee G. Ironsides presided,all mem- bers being present. _ An exciting game ot baseball was played on \Wednesday between New Toronto Juniors and Port Credit Jun- iprs, which ended in a win for the New Toronto boys, the score being 8 to 6, Much of the credit for the victory is due to the excellent pitch- ing of Garnet Janes. The following represented New Toronto and the same team will play Mimico Juniors at Mimico next week: Go Janes, B. McLean, T. Ansell, P. Ansell, N. Moor- house, J. Adams, Leo. Hennessey, It. Herod and A, Turner. Mr. Charles Treble was appointed caretaker of the schools and grous1g, at a salary of $100 per mOnth. " Mr..Mole, the principal, asked for another teacher, but this' question was deferred to the next meeting. Although twice turned down by the ratepayers, the New Toronto School Board feel the urgent need ot provid- ing the required future school accom- modation. Mr. Geo. Ironsides, chair- man of the Board, was instructed to consult with Reeve Lovejoy as to a possible site at the west end. Prin- cipal Mole applied for an extra teach- er tor the fall term, and the matter was laid over tor the next meeting. Mr. C. Treble has been appointed caretaker at a salary of $100 a month. Outstanding accounts amounting to $120'were passed and the meeting ad- journed. ' A foreigner named John Kinkawa, of Seventh Street, New Toronto, was fined $25 and costs tof assaulting Mrs. Kwiecen, also of Seventh St. The case was tried by Magistrate Brunton in the county-court. At the same' court the Magistrate sentenced two other foreigners to 30 days in gaol for a breach ot the temperance iaw. The magistrate intimated that they were geting off easy, as a fine might have been added to the gaol term. V Lack of adequate house accommo- dation is a serious drawback to the growth of the community, as the men prefer to work near their homes and not have to spend an hour or more each day on crowded street cars getting to and from business. With plenty ot vacant land available at moderate prices and two large factor.. ies employing a large percentage of married men, the building of modern houses suitable for working Jr1en's homes could not help but be a paying proposition, and would be the means of bringing more people to the town. It would" also make it much easier for the factories to obtain the help re- quired by them. Business would also be increased, for where a man makes his money there is the place where he will spend it if the merchant is awake to his' opportunity and supplies his needs when he First settles in his new surroundings. First impressions are always lasting. There are rumors of hen roasts be- ing robbed recently in New Toronto, several residents complaining of los- ing fowls. This seems a miserable kind of thieving and it is to be hoped that Constable Ford may soon be able to bring the delinquents to boot, if such is really the case. The action taken last week by the Toronto and York Radial looks as it the company intend to force smok- ers to observe the rules and to re- train from smoking unless riding-in the apartments apportioned for that purpose. As the cars during these hours contain many girls returning from work and are also crosirded, the practice is very annoying, besides be- ing offensive to many ot the passen- gers. At first sight the proceedings may seem harsh when the men have been confined all day in a close fac- tory, still it is necessary to make some laws to protect the rights of those to whom the weed is obnoxious. The law against smoking has been in op- eration for years and is no new inno- vation. And in the future those in- dulging in this habit must conform to the rules and regulations ot public conveyances. Brown's Rolling Mills are making certain alterations in their plant in order to take on a number ot girls, who will handle the lighter work. The management feel confident that the new arrangement will facilitate mat- ters and enable them to handle all orders on record time. The Lake Shore Senior Baseball League games for Saturday, June 29, are as follows: Goodyear at Gutta Percha, Brown's at Regal Shoe. The Goodyear factory is running two shifts at present in order to keep up with the orders on' hand. This is one of the largest and most up-to- date plants of its kind in Canada. The large dining' room on the top storey is thoroughly equipped, and tour meals a day are served to the employ- ees at moderate prices. NEW TORONTO Are they ever going to clean up the sidewalks on the Lake Shore Road? It is becoming a disgrace to our town. Clean up four front lawns. It will add to the value of ydur property. Three Young Lives-Lost Mimico mourns the loss -trt three young lives. Two bodies have been found and the third is still missing. The accident occurred on Saturday af- ternoon, when the three boys, playing in the boat at, Stop 17 on the water front, were carried out into the lake. They were seen at two o'elock. At 3.40 the alarm was given by' some boys to Mr, Young. They promised to at- tend at once. to the case. After a search about the lake the men gave up the search. It was the claim that the lite- boat could not weather the storm. It was not known in Mimico that they had done this. The parents waited, expecteding to hear that the lite-saw. ing crew had accomplished their work. They did not make any effort because of their confidence in the crew. On Sunday they found _ out differently. The search had been abandoned early in the evening. Immediately on learn- ing of this, tugs were chartered and all day was spent in the search. On Monday afternoon the bodies of Dan- ny Crew, aged 7, and Clifford Wilson, aged 9, were found by Capt. Malcolm and Second Officer Robert Pedher ot the steamer Chippewa, seven miles oft shore at the mouth of the Niagara River in the open boat in which they, together with George Smith, aged 12,_ are believed to have been blown out to the lake from Belvedere Point, Mimico, on Saturday afternoon about 2 o'clock. The three boys took a boat from the boathouse of K. W. Miles, after trying to borrow paddles. It is thought they had no means of rowing or steering the boat. When the people of this district Will co-operate, then you can look for some big developments. Remember that you are getting one gig,, the best picture services at the Cd naught Theatre every week. All the leading stars of the screen are there each week. Some ot the big pictures come direct from their big runs down town. So that this splen- did service will be a "success, it means that you must patronize it. Come here instead of going down town. It will insure the success of the venture. Mimico is privileged to have such-a fine theatre. Many towns are not so fortunate. To keep it you must as- sist. See the weekly pregramme on the front page. Note all the stars that it contains. Then come on Monday and see Mary Pickford. Some ot the roads need a little more attention-than is given to them. No effort has so tar been made by the authorities to drag tor the miss- ing lad, nor is it likely that such will be done. County Constable Simpson stated last night that there was noth- ing to guide the authorities where dragging operations should be carried on, and the inference was that the body may be far removed from shore. A close watch will, however, be kept by all the steamship lines, as well as on shore, in the hope of recovering it. This is the question that is being asked all along the Lake Shore Road. Everyone wants an answer to it. They all express the feeling that had the crew been a little more persistent in their work, the boys would have been home safe to-day. The little rowboat weathered the sea. that was rolling on Saturday. The fact that both of the little chaps were lying there with their coats and a piece of carpet over them shows that it weathered the storm. Why then could not the lite-boat, built specially to weather storms, not stay out in the sea? Not‘only is the boat constructed tor this purpose, but it is manned with men_who have experi- ence in handling a, Boat under such conditions. Yet we find that these men did give up the search before it was dark and before they had done all that they could. It there is any pro- tection it should only be of the best. These' points ought to be answered at the inquest. They are some points that will assist in bringing about a. change in the system of this life-sav, ing work. , Bodies Identified Captain Malcolm wire] ssed the of- ficers of the (tslr/ldv;';;?,:'::,', Com- pany and the parents were advised, and Geo. Wilson, father of the Wilson boy, was at the dock on the arrival of the steamer and identified the bod- ies, and later that of the Crew lad was taken to the morgue, where an in-. quest will be held, while the, body of Mr. Wilson's little son was removed to William Speers’ undertaking rooms. The boat in which the children left the short did not belong to A. W. Miles, from whose beach the depar- ture was made, but had been stolen from Brown's boat house at the IIum- ber a week or so ago, and had been left on Mr. Miles' beach. Why Did the Lite-saving Crew Quit? The bodies ot the two children were lying face downwards in the bottom of the boat, as though in an effort to keep warm and seek protection from the biting wind which swept over the lake/all day Sunday. The Smith boy was missing, but his coat was in the boat. The Crew lad was the son of Mrs. R. H. Crew, Superior Avenue, Mimico, the Wilson boy was the son of George Wilson, a guard at the Mimico Asy- lum, while the Smith lad was a son of Montagu Smith, an employee of the Goodyear Rubber Company. Air Force Helps On Sunday morning the Royal Air Force at Beamsville, across the Jake, were appealed to, and a dozen or more fliers scoured the lake all day without success. The Niagara and Hamilton boats yesterday kept a sharp lookout, and Captain Malcolm and Second Officer Robert Pedher of the Canadian Steam- ship Company's steamer Chippewa, who were on the bride on the out- ward trip from Toronto to Niagara, late yesterday afternoon sighted a small boat about a mile out of their route and immediately changed the course of the steamer and, rounding to, picked up the little boat containing the bodies of the two little boys, Clif- ford Wilson and Danny Crew. These were brought to the city on the re- turn trip. MMCO ttical Merchants Cw DR. P. J. WATSON, Dentist, office at Connaught Hall, Super- ior Avenue, Mimico.
