The New Era is pleased to see that
Perth County has appointed a Juvenile
Court Judge in the person of J. Tor-
rance, ex -M. P. P. We hope the day
is not far distant when Huron County
will follow suit and we don't know of a
better man for the position than G. M.
Elliott, County Secretary of the Child-
ren's Aid Society. Another necessity
for this County is providing of a shel-
ter where the kiddies could be properly
-looked after until provided for. This
Is a work both patriotic and charitable
that should be heartily taken hold of by
