The TALES you probably never heard about

MANY NEGLECTED

[Welland Telegraph, 8 February 1910]

             W.A. Gunton, Government Inspector of the Society of Neglected Children of the Province, was here on Saturday, and with Chief Jones rounded up the neglected children in Welland, the names of which are published elsewhere.

 “You have your full share of neglected children here,” he said to the Telegraph. Asked what he attributed this to be he explained that the condition always prevailed in growing towns. Mr. Gunton went on to say that the children taken from here go to the shelter in Toronto, where they are adopted by people of means. He will address the St. Catharines Council Tuesday night relative to establishing a Shelter there.
