Buckland and Mr. Hugh Ferguson Give Interesting Addresses at Annual Meeting (Goderich Star) The annual meeting of the Huron County Children's Aid Society was held in Victoria Street 'United church on. Tuesday evening with a fair at- tendance (what was lacking in num- bers was made up in the interest of those present). The election of officers was arrang- ed by a resolution- re-appeIntine the officers of the past year, who are as follows: Hon. president, W. R. El- liott; president, Rev. J. E. Ford; vice president, R. P. Acheson; county ag- ent, G. M. Elliott; treasurer, Sheriff R. G. Reynolds; . secretary, A. M. : Robertson; representatives—Seaforth • A. D.

Robertson and R. J. I Acheson. A recommendation was made that the salary of the county agent be increased by $200, s Rev. J. E. Ford, the president, was in the chair, and addresses were giv- en by Rev. Capt. Buckland and 31r.1 Hugh Ferguson. Capt. Buckland spoke of the week of the Children's Aid throughout the Province, and of the industrial school and the new school at Bowmanville, which he has taken a great interest in. He also spoke of the workings of the Chil- dren of Unmarried Parents Act and the benefits under the act for the mothers. =F-e:rguson (Stratford) spoke of ithe good results, not only in H5ron County, but, in the Province general- ly, of the Children's Protection Act, , Two very pleasing numbers were the songs by Hope Mutch and Mabel Johnston. Mr. Elliott, in his report of his work as county superintendent, Cont- i mented with regret on the fact that :there should stillseeem to b...? need of such an organization as the Child- ren's Aid to protect little children from cruelty, neglect, etc., and that, in spite of all efforts, the demands 1 of the work were still increasing. After mentioning the causes—non- eupport desertion, gross parental ne- glect, domestic trouble, and immoral- ity—which caused the demand for service from the Society, Mr. Elliott said, "We might very wel ask our- selves w!

It is not easy, however, to convey to you an adequate idea of the amount of work undertaken during the past (Conservative Literature) teeneeaam eersteaesuoD) THE SENSE OF LAW One of the theories oil our social eremite bus been built is that each citizen knows ell the law, and when a law is trantittresscd 11 IS 00 excuse to say that it watt don» in ignorance. Obviously this Is out,y a theory, for he would be considered ,(and indeed would be) either a em- etic or a eonceited tool Who made the claim that he knew all the luw. Equally obvious is it that as laws multiply the more difficult it, is for anyone, excepting, perhaps, a super - Man, to understand even 0 smell pro- portion of them; but in order that they may be effective it is aecessary to assume that in their entirety they are known to all. Otherwise, the plea. of ignorance of the law would be raised in practically every case dinoneco.urt and justice eould not be There was, no doubt, a time In the history of mankind wiren the legal maxim "Ignorance of the law excuses 110 one" was practical as well as theoretial sound sense. In those sim- ple days there were certain cardinal principles of conduct which, if they were aot always acted on, were at all events clearly comprehended, and be- cause these peineiples were almost paat of humanIty itself, and because human existence depensled on their aeceptance, there grew up a feeling towards them which nowadays is covered by the litht-ase "Respect for. the law." It was early understood that there eould be no ganeral obed- ience to law unities there was at the Sante time a respect for it and the deeciopmeet of lave has been that invariably it has been worthy of respect. So mach so has this been the case that to -day there Is itt the ordinary elle() little distinction drawn between the fatiors which make law, the duty to obey law, and the reseed due to law. The simple cardinal peinciples of conduct to white.: refore.nee has been made men exist. Some of them are inoorporated la the htw; all of them aro comprehend,* in the: true relit, not:ship which man bears to his eel:tether.

Otto Co question tnis pro- position, There cannot be any stable Government where laws are to be obeyed only by those who like them. That much must be unreservedly conceded. But while law is not to be lightly questioned or floated, it twist eat be forgotten that it can invade a :teeth/ from which spring all human actions, and where its eway 'trust de- pend, not on its force or power but upon its appeal to the moral prin- ciples. For the truly moral man, as all philosophers have agreed, there Is no need for any save that which he imposes on bimetal:, end the truly moral man will Judge, and, if necessary, determine his obeilleme tp laws by the measure or tho appeal they make to his moral princIple:4. History has many 111.tidents where defiance of the law hao been not only eecusaate but right, and If ati iesve had been blindly obeyed weneue question mankind would still be in the darkness of Ihe :diddle Ages. Revolt against tyranny has nearly always been a revolt against Jur.% Those, therefore, who most cherish respect for law should he the /net to concede that it is not so much the law itself Which is entitled to respect, but the principles of merality eontained in the law, and It is only fain to urge that any law whieh does not obtain general respect Is lackieg lanai:where in those principles. This reeling to- wards all law -which has boon aptly tertned "The send!, of law" should be earefully examined by all interested in public affairs. Tbe August Scrib- ner's has a closely reasoned and ably written article: by strutters Burt, author of "The Interpreter's House," en "The Sense of Law," which goes to the Very root of the matter, The following -will perhape indicate its eontent: "'There Is ROLlitilit that KO eXtioSeS the blocked intelligence as the state- ment that such anditch d ch a thing 'Is the law and so niust be obeeede To the lay mind, which conceived law and which must live by law, a. taw Is ilO1 a law le it offesale the souse of law, and millione of ,Inisgeided exs ports cannot peeve otherwise.

By using figures we might give you an approximate idea al- though we cannot, give details e'arding individual cases. In endeas, bring to +secure jUstice for every child, we need to be qualinee to in- vestigate, from every angle, the prop - lents surrounding the lives drthe children and to be tactful and res soureeful and have the ehild'e intek- est at heart. We must also be con- siderate in all our dealings with the parents, whom we are cal; 1 upon to :eivise and guide into a better way of living, Where impeovement does not take place in the home .within a reasonable time, the aid of the law is invoked, which empowers the Society to apprehend children and have the parents, with them, ap- pear before a Judge, when usually the children are given over to the guardianship of the Society. ,Then it becomes their duty to provide for the future care of the child. "Fifty complaints were received and investigated during tbe year and of that number only seven have been taken over by the Society; one of these is still in the Shelter. Ten other children, not warehe were brought to the Shelter and later re- turned to their parents. Only one child was sent to the Industrial School; eighteen wards were return- ed to the Shelter and thirty-two were Placed during the year. "We have 150 wards on our visit- ing list placed in foster hemee le the County of Huron. We made 170 visits in the interests of those child- ren, travelling approximately 3,250 miles in doing so. In most cases the children wera happy and showed good care. We sent a report of each child to Provincial Superintendent J. Kelso. The Society alae holds trust account for ten children, the total amount at present being 31,- 246.84. We keep in touch with the older children by writing: and during the year received 862 pieces of mail and sent out 2,096. Many of these letters are important and often call for quick action. 410 people came with complaints or asked advice, and. weve listened to and advised. Twen- ty-one cases were dealt with under the Children of Unmarried Purents Act. These involved a great deal of extra work but in most cases \vele very beneficial to those interested. "All offenders under sixteen are dealt with in this Court and there is a marked decrease in the number ap- pearing as compared with last year and there were no gleas among the number. "The number of children cared for in the Shelter each month during the year numbers about the same as last year, ranging from six to fourteen. At present there are ten in the Shel- ter. The health of the children has been excellent, •medical attention was seldom required. Much credit is due to the Matron for her care of the children, many of them having been brought to the Shelter in a terribly dirty and neglected condition but in O short time a wonderful transforina- don takes place. During the year we received 69 applications for can - Oren. Some of these we were able to fill. Many othrs were for a type or age of chtld we could not supply. The cost of maintenance of the Shel- ter has been greatly reduced through the generosity of .Women's Institutes organized classes, societies, chute:h- es, besides scores of private individ- uals who contributed fruit, Vege- tables, clothing, etc., as well as cash. Last Christmas at the Shelter was a heppy time for the children, made poseible by many kind friends, in- cluding: the C. P. Re employees, the Menestung Canoe Club, the Lions' Club, the Home and School Club and many other organizations and indiv- iduals front all over the Couaty of Huron. To all who have in, any way contributed to the comfort and hap- piness of the children committed to the care of the Shelter, we extend most 'hearty thanks. In closing I would appeal to the people of Huron County to open their homes to the little homeless children, whe through no fault of their own aye depeived of love and home."

KEEP ENGINE CLEAN Wash eitespray the grease and oil from the engine and transmission oc- casionally. It will prevent lire in cases w -here the engine backfires through the carburetor, and when cleaning the parts a loose, connection or bolt will be noticed, thus saving a repaie bill and loss of time later. ItEROSENE BAD FOR COOLING The use of kerosene in the vooling system of a car in winter is not ad- visable due to its lower capacity for heat than water. The liquid hes a higher boiling point and it may be- come very hot, possibly hot enough to affect the solder in the eadiator Kerosene fumes are very inflamma- ble and will escape from leaks in the cooling system that water will mese through very slightly. The chance of getting very high temperatures is not very great, in cold weather, if reasonable care is taken and the cool- ing system is of ample design and one can look out for the fire risk. CAR RUINED BY DIRT AND MUD Next to lubrication, cleanliness, perhaps, is the -best automobile, main- tenence investment. Mud, oil and dirt left on the fenders and body of a car for any length of time "set" or work their way into the finish, so that when the car is thoroughly washed and cleaned for a polish job, an abrasive must be used to get the dirt out. After this has been re- peated several times, the finish is materially affected—often worn down to the first coat and the metal. Dirt and mud accumulate on the oil or grease cups that many cars are equipped with, working their way into the gears and then into the bearings where they act as an ab- rasive, causing extensive wear. Should a crankshaft or e.onneeting rod bearing burn out be setre that the oil lines are clear before fitting a new one. When a bearing burns the hot babbitt will flow back into the crankshaft blocking the oil lines, Many motorists pay little +ellen, tion to stretches of newly oiled high. ways and proceed at their usual rate of speed. This is dangerous. Fresh- ly oiled roads should be driven over at slow speed ,and with the driver constantly alert for any tendency of the car to skid. A car with its engine or serial numbers changed or mutilated is sure to be a stolen one.
