There are some bad boys in St
Helens. Of course St Helens la
not the only city where there are
bad boys, as all cities and towns
have them, but we have some who
need attention. Boys who roam
the streets all hours of the night are
bound to get into mischief and are
very apt to get into serious trouble.
We hear of numerous complaints
about some of them . and deem it
best to give this warning to the
parents of the boys who are not at
home or under parental control.
Look out for the boys and keef
them where they belong. Along
this line it might be well to call the
attention of the officers that there
is a curfew ordinance in this city
which could be enforced with great
benefit to the boys themselves.
The Congregational Church has
recently been improved by the ap
plication of a coat of calsomine and
having the backs of the seats raised,
which adds greatly to their comfort.
