And wondering with Chester Bloom being somewhat at Loose ends Friday i went wandering around Winnipeg poking my nose into things that did t concern me which i the Way to have fun. I saw a big striped cat Chase a Squirrel on Spence Street. I heard the police magistrate work on three belligerents. I was nearly smothered Between a Sealskin coat and a Fox fur you know one Man sandwiched among thirty pretty girls eating Mayonnaise salads and gooey whipped Cream on cake. Why do so Many More girls than men eat luncheon downtown in Winnipeg i must discuss that problem some other time along with the question Why Are there More pretty girls in Winnipeg than any other City the wild West event Between the cat and the Squirrel sur prised me i still Don t believe cats eat squirrels. The Bushy tailed fellow Likely Hari his nose too in business that did i concern him he was scrambling furiously along the roof of a House near Portage when the cat took utter him. The Squirrel made three jumps in one second Flat from the Ridge pole of the House to the porch to the lower Branch of a tree to Lus Topmost limb. He swung behind it peeked around the Side and spoke to the cat in German at least it sounded like the Berlin radio Man speaking to Winston Churchill. The cat merely grinned probably it was All in fun. Like the Stag party in the Good old Days at Calgary when a fellow j know in elevated spirits pulled a baby automatic pistol from a Vest pocket and flipped some bullets at a wine Glass in another Friend s hand the involuntary William Tell did t like it much no More than the Squirrel did inc cat. I can produce Winnipeg witnesses still living to prove this the Host had to Send for a Cabinet maker to plug up the holes where she bullets had bounced around the Woodwork before his wife Sot Home the Domestic relations session of the police court was quiet what impressed me was the Solomon like Wisdom of magistrate r. B. Graham. There was a dark gentleman accused by a Brunette of poking her in the nose. The gentleman said sheepishly he did t know Why he hit her the Brunette said he poked her because she scorned his Friendship the magistrate said Bonds to keep the peace for a year and if you hit her again to jail you go without option of Fine i could see the kindly magistrate was pained by a father son Case father said Sonny boy 23 years old smacked him when he yanked a tube out of the radio in exasperation of son s just lying around the House doing nothing but read funnies and listen to swing. Son denied he hit father. What went against him was father s testimony of asking his returned Harvester son to pay Board which the Young Man waved off thus Alberta Money in t any Good in Manitoba you can t spend it Here. I d give my new Anthony Eden hat to have Friend Aberhart hear that one. The magistrate did t like it either he scolded the Young Man thoroughly and put him under a keep the peace Bond. Then there was the Householder up for pummelling a creditor he suspected of visiting his Home for purposes other than collecting a Small Bill. Ten dollars and costs was dished out to the unwanted visitor instead the Householder said he had merely pushed him out besides the visitor had been previously Warne d by the police to keep away. But the Householder nearly spoiled his Case by remarking if he comes around again i la kill the discreet magistrate chose not to hear that obviously he had inside information on the aggrieved House Holder s Case which did t appear on the record. So i went out and perched myself on a Stool in a palatial chopped egg Sandwich dispensary where half a dozen very pretty girls in coloured apron ettes were skipping about. A pretty a very Large Sealskin coat and smelling very appetizing by of Gardenia sat Down by me with her fur Elbow overflowing in my ribs. At my other Side another pretty lady perched herself she swept my neck with her big Fox fur deliciously emanating violets. Both ladies placed Large handsome bags on the counter strategically encircling my Glass of water and cutlery. I looked helplessly up and Down the Row of stools now occupied by 25 More Good looking Young women. You could t have oozed yourself Between their furs with a shoe Horn. There i was alone boxed in by feminine Beauty suffocating in fragrance French pastry whipped Cream malted milks and chocolate sundaes. I was going to order hamburger and onions. I weakened i took a Bun which i could t spill on my Necktie or the ladies handbags no matter How close the embrace of Sealskin coat and Fox fur. I gulped my Coffee and i fled too much loveliness All at once has overcome stronger men than i. Systematic payment of debts through he orderly payment of debts Batho miss Harriet Selby and miss Margaret Malone Case workers. A sick wife and eight children Don t Benefit greatly from a very Small salary. In fact the Mother and two children in this particular family were suffering from Mal nutrition. A donation to the Bureau from the free press Christmas cheer fund had been reserved to provide needed nourishment such As milk and eggs for such families. After two months required nourishment and the assistance of a housekeeper for six weeks the family was re established Strong enough to carry on with its new strength and incentive. Court. Amily now the tension has been relieved. The life Tui Iino More smoothly on the new budget suggested by the Bureau. The father is no longer discouraged the Mother no longer nags. The happiness of one family has been protected. Deserted by his wife four years ago when he was unemployed a Young father was left with six children under eight years of age in his care. When he was t work ing there was no food or fuel for his family unless he went on re Lief when he was working there was no one to care for the children. He appealed to the family Bureau and soon his household was functioning smoothly under the Csop Able supervision of a trained House keeper. His salary is Small but he pays half the housekeeper s salary. Twenty two such Motherless families Are cared for by under standing housekeepers through the family Bureau. All housekeepers Are Given instruction in health nutrition child care and buying. Of the 924 cases in the last year financed by an annual Grant of from the Junior league one of from the Winnipeg foundation and a remaining 500 from the Community Chest the family Bureau helps the discouraged and needy.
