Ir the people had the say the Dom-
in'on Senate would soon undergo a radi-
cal change in its personnel. All the
wonderful remodelling that is preached
during an election soon fades when the
polling day is past. It grows more and
more into a dumping ground for politi-
cal favorites and cast off politicians who
press their claims to continue to eat out
of the public crib. Canadian Senate is
an expensive luxury with no good reas-
on for its continuance in its present
form. Whose going to put the ginger
into it ?
FUNNY is it not the airs some politi-
cians put on. You would imagine
Canada belonged to them instead of to
the people. They say "Don't defeat me
and my gang or this country will go to
the dogs." Some folk don't guess had-

lessness and iodiftence on the part of
electors that does not augur well for
coming days. Canada will not stand

Huron County Children's
Aid Society Doing
Good Work
Annual meeting of Huron County
Children's Aid and Humane Society
was held at Children's Home Godericb,
on Tuesday afternoon Nov. 8. There
was a fair attendance and those pres-
ent had an interesting time. Messrs.
Willie and Greer Wingham motored
down and attended meeting.
In hie address President Mitchell
said :—
In gathering together for 10th an-
nual meeting of Huron County Child-
ren's Aid and Humane Society—but, I
think, the 28th anneal meeting since
the beginning of the work in this
County—I feel warranted its congratu-
lating the members of the Society on
the continued success which marks
our efforts ; but at the same time we
cannot but be struck with the thought
that it seems to be a work which
apparently knows no ebb, but is rath.
er increasing in the calls svbich arise
for rescue of helpless children from
cruelly neglectful and even crinhival
surroundings, that they may have
that, fair opportunity for a right start
in life which is the birthright of every
child born in this land we proudly call
"our fair Dominion." Reports will
show the truth of this statement. As
our social and ecnnomic conditions at
exist there seems to be little hope
that we shall soon reach a tune when
this rescue work can be relaxed, but
rather is it true that each year's re-
view shows an increasingnecessity for
vigorous and organized effort if we
are to save young lives from the
downward way arid start them on
the road to honorable and useful
citizenship. If all work done by our
Society could be tabulated and epitom-
ized in its results it would make a
record for which we might well be
devoutly thankful that we have had a
share in it. I need not attempt to go
into any details—you will find same
of these in the reports of the
County Agent and Treasurer, and if
these do not inspire you to take a
more personal and active interest (lur-
ing the succeeding years, I will be dis-

appointed, I am continually trying
to interest people who do not attend
our regular meetings with the duty
and pleasure they may have, if they
will attend these meetiugs and visit
our Children's Home and become fami-
liar with the work being done and
enjoy the affection shown by the little
folk who respond so -lovingly to what
is done for them. May I not urge a
larger attendance at our Society's reg-
ular meetings by the people of Gode-
ricb to whom the opportunity is so
convenient ? In closing these prelim-
inary remarks, I wish to express my
hearty appreciation of the services of
our County Agent and efficient Mat-
ron and her sympathetic assistant
who are so assiduous in their efforts
for the welfare and comfort of the lit-
tle ones entrusted to their care. 1

G. M. Elliott, County Agent of th
Society, presented repot t as follows :
Goderich, Ont„
ov,I am' -now presenting the810th19a L
ual report of Huron County Children'
Aid and Humane Society. It appears
but a vet y short time since our last
annual meeting was held in Clinton.
In reviewing work of year we find it
is a repetition of lot mer years, only a
little more of it. First, the Society
has the.work of investigating oases of
neglect or abuse, brought to our
notice, among children anywhere in
the Connty, 81 complaints have come
to us during year, involving 182 child-
ren, These cases have been carefully
investigated and such action taken in
each case as considered beat under
circumstances. 20 of these children
were finally given over as words of
Children's Aid Society by the Judge's
order. Of these 17 are girls and 9
boys. They came from different parte
of the County and were deserted, or
orphans or in some canes sadly neglect-
ed. 2 were taken because father woe
sent to prison for a term of years and
mother was unable to provide and
care for them. One little boy was tak-
en from a rootlet' who was unable to
maintain hint and was the same day
placed in a good foster home. Next a
family of 6, because useless father had
deserted them and mother wee quite
incapable of caring for them, Good
foster homes were secured for this
family right away. A brother and a
slater were placed in a very fine home,
2 motherless girls were taken because
father was net considered a proper
person to have charge of them. They
were placed with their aunt, who is
giving thein the best of care. A baby
girl, whose mother had no hone, arid
who was unable to maintain her child,
ryas placed ill tate of foster parents.
Parody of 8 orphan children, whose
parents died within a few months of
each other and left children destitute,
were taken and immediately placed in
foster homes without expense.
A little girl a year rild wsa made a
ward and, with the mother, was
kept in the Shelter for a few clays,
We visited her father's home and got
his consent to bring mother and her
babe hrrme. Now he loves the Oita
and can't bear thinking of parting
with her, and saga, "Where there is a
will there le a ways" A boy aged 16,
found guilty of a °rime, was up for CAR OF
sentence arid. Irl order to %aye Brill

consented to them placed in B
foeter homes, 8 children were made
wards Ili order that Society might act to arrive shortly, Spec-
as guardiana, their father being dead
an mother not acting the part of a
ttue mother. We are hoping there
will be a happy reunion of family.
O73'ILDREN 1N Too SHELTER
There are at pre ent 13 children in
the Shelter, eight gide and 5 boys,
and foster homes i e desired for most
of thein. Children'a Shelter is used as
a temporal y hoe for neglected
children while b ing prepared for
foster homes or being changed from
one home to another. Number' of
wer'de this year have been placed
without bringing th
em to the Shelter.
During year have sheltered 31, some
of thein only forashort time. While
in Shelter matron gives them such
attention that a oh nge is soon notice-
able, both in appearance and actions.
We are constantl on look -out for
good homes lot children and during
yeast have placed or replaced 88. All
children are decen ry clothed before
they are sent out.

Dear Mr, Elliot.—I thought I

indebted t0 the press thronghaut the
County, as many good houses have
been secured for children because of
items appearing in County papers.,
After these reports an acidtese was'
heard from Amos Tevsll, Guelph,
County Agent for County of Welling-
ton. The mostprecious thing in a
community was its child life, with its
potentialities for the future, and it
was most important that, this should
be right. The growing lack of parent-
al control and the effects of the
movies and the dance ball on the
young people of the day were influen-
ces that did not make for the child-
ren's welfare, Mr. Tovell spoke in
high appreciation of Mr. Elliott and
the asaistailee he was to hirn 111 the
work, In Guelph they adopt a Shel-
ter Day, when money ie collected for
the Shelter, and something like 82,500
is raised.
A vote of thanks was passed to Mr,
Tovell.
1'he old officers were re-elected, and
following a suggestion of Preaident's,
it was decided to hold regular monthly
meetings of Society first Tuesday in
place of the second Tuesday of month,
"Jimmy," the baby in arms, who is
one of the happy children at the
Home, was much admired by the visit-
ors and the 12 older children sang a
couple ofchoruses to the pleasure of
all. Refreshments were served and
many took the opportunity of seeing
over the Home.
