net debt of our town -as 5780. 452.39. The finances ni the Town are in excellent condition. Let's kccn it that way.

"Our -lax rate remained the same In 1950 namely 317.00 per

Fire Destroys" House At Elmstlale

Fire. believed to have been caused by a defective ” y. complete- ly destroyed the residence of Mr. Arthur Wells. Elmsdale. about mid- night on Saturday. All household effects were lost as well as about five hundred bushels of potatoes stored in the cellar.

The fire first broke out at nine o'clock in the evening in an up- stairs room but it was thought to have been extinguished. Apparent- ly. though it had worked its way between the walls and at midnight it once more broke out and so rapidly did the flames spread that in a short time the house was be- yond saving.

Mr. and Mrs. Wells were not at home at the time but Mr. William Wallace a boarder was sleeping in his room and very narrowly es- caped death. He was rescued by a neighbor, Mr. James Ada-ms. several outbuildings were in some danger for a time but were saved by the arrival of the Alberton Fire Department although effaorts to save the house were useless. An estimate of the loss could not be obtained .but would be at least

by insurance. -S.

Stress Need For Juvenile Home In Province

The need of a home in the Prov- ince for juvenile delinquents was stressed by Chief of Police Peter White in both his monthly and annual reports given at the sum- merslde Town Council meeting last evening.

In his annually report he states: "I wish here to state that at the present time I would strongly rec- ommen” that an industrial school or home for boys be established in this Province. due to the fact. that the St. Patrick's HtCiI'I'l8 in Halifax is unwilling to accept our boys from this Province. We have at the pres- ent. time several cases where charges have not been proceeded with due to lihe fact that should they be ad- judged delinquents it would be a question as to how they should be disposed of on account of this sit- uatiori."

In his monthly report Chief of Police White says: "I must say that during the month we have had considerable trouble caused by juv- eniles and it appears that the Prov- ince will have to find some other place of detention as the sdtionls where thme -boys previously served terms are now refusing to take thorn. This matter has been brought to the attention of the proper auth- orities and it is hoped that some solution will be found in the ma: future."

The following cases came before the court in December: Theft. cases 4. convictions 4; attempted theft. cases 1, convictions 1; dam. aging property. cases 1, convictions 1: assault, cases 3. convictions 3: speeding. cases 3. convictions 3; intoxicated condition. cum 3. con- victions 3; drunkenness. arrests 20. convictions 19. withdrawn 1; fines and costs collected 0354.25: mis- cellanec-us licenses collected 3190.00. This report was read by Council- lor H.B. Bchurman. - 5

Keen Interest In Juvenile Hockey In Bedeque-Freetown

Under the direction of Dr. M.A. Deacon and Mr. Lee Oampbell of Freetown, the Bedeque and Free- town areas are taking a high in- terest in the development of Juv- enile hockey there this winter.

Definite plans have been made by these officials to enter a juv- enile team to compete in local and Island competition. and it is hoped. in Maritime play as well If the beam -has a successful season.

At the last practice held at B:-d- eque Rink recently. some 14 juven- iles were on hand. but officials there wish to make it clear to boys of juvenile age in those areas, that all are invited to attend these practices as the team has not yet been picked and all players will be given an equal chance to make the sq-uad.

Officials plan for at least. one game a week with outside teams from Summerside, Charlottetown and other centres. and will take part in any Juvenile Island league that might be organized this win- ter.

There will be practices held at Bedeque rink every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 to 7:30 P.M.. and en Saturdays from 12:30 to 2.00 P.M.. and all players are ask- ed to make a point of being at the next practices as their names will have to be submitted for registra- tion with the M. A.I-I. A. before the closing date of registration which is January 26th.
