DAYS' SALE
HURON 4'U1LDRDN'S MD
The business transacted at the regular
:meeting or the Chi then% Aid Society for
Huron County on Tuesday of last week
(being the first meeting held since the
opening of the new shelter) included many
items of public interest, and already the
benefit of the new home is very evident.
Since the opening, eight children have
been received, five girls and three boys;
two children have been placed in foster
homes, and the others are still in the Shelf
ter. One of these, a bright little fellow of
three years, is all ready for a good home,
and will be worth asking for. Four chil-
dren have been made wards by magis-
trates, two boys and two girls, one of the
latter already placed in a foster home.
One child came from Hallett township,
one from Morris and two from Goderich
town. The matron of the Shelter, Miss
Bentley, is making the best of everything*
f
as is evident by the comfort and happi-
ness of the children, and any contributions
to the home will be well applied.
The following contributions are grate-
fully acknowledged since last meeting; R.
Harding, Bowlck, $2; Miss Lottie
,
$2; W. T. Fellow, Mrs, Robert Doak and
Mrs. D, Miller, $1 each; Mrs Wm: Coats,
$5; Mrs. A, Halliday, basket of apples,
jar of fruit and pickles; Mrs. J. Jenkins,
beans; Mrs. J. Mitchell, peanuts; Mrs.
Dr. Strang, children's night dresses; Mrs.
E. R. Wigle, apples, nuts, candy, tea and
sardines; Mrs. A. D. McLean and Mrs.
Beattie, clothing; Knox church Pastor's
Aid, clothing for a woman; Mrs, Glover,
8 pounds fresh pork; Dr. A. J. Irwin,
Wingham, $10; Clinton town, $10; Exeter,
$10; Hensall, $5; Hay township, $10, Sea-
sorth town, $10; Grey towhship, $10, A
new sewing machine has been installed as
a necessity in the work, and a musical in-
strument, either piano or organ, would be
an acceptable donation, the matron being
able to interest and entertain the children.
Foster homes are wanted for small boys,
also for a baby boy, and for a healthy
baby girl, one year old, and one about two
months old.
It would be impossible to even mention,
not to go into detail, the separate cases
dealt with at this meeting. Some of them
are pitiable and sad, and one almost re-
volting, and all showing the great need of
this charitable and soul -saving work. If
the cases which have been dealt with in
the past five years alone, arising in this
county, were•simply classified and describ-
ed* they would be a surprise and• a revela-
tion to the people of .Huron. Probably
every municipality in the county has fur-
nished one or more of these cases, and the
needs of the work will doubtless continue.
But if, to offset this, a list of the children
and their present conditions and prospects
were given, the value and benefits of this
method of dealing with unfortunate and
neglected children would be demonstrated
in a delightful manner. If you would like
to help in this worthy cause, send your
contribution: to either the treasurer or
County Agent. Goderich, or if wanting in-
formation, write the agent, Mr. G. M.
Elliott, Goderich.

You've been fighting the Tut -1i in

helf to eternal weapons, and.he's not

If Isn't Your Town---lt`S Iron
If you want to live in the kind of a town
Like the kind of a town you lilte,
You needn't slip your' clothes -in a grip,
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new,
It's a knock at yourself when you knock
• your town,
It isn't your town ---its you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead,
When everybody works and noi,x1
shirks,
You can raise a town from the clad.
And if, when you make your p..:,!, ial
stake
You neighbor can make one, too, -
Your town will be what you want to see,
It isn't your town ---it's YOU.
