Wors froIT WestLni by Norm Mealing The BOY SCOUT inovemient lias involved, at one time or another rnost of the maie population of Canada. For many boys, it lias provided training which lias prepared themi well for their aduit life. For miany mien, il lias pro- vided thc opportunity te contribute ini a mneaninigful way to the youth of their communtnity. 1 know frorn first-hand experience that scouting can be. and is, an expensive proposition. mhie Boy Scouts depend, in part, on govertiment grants, and support froni such or- ganizations as the United Way. Tlwy aIso dcpend on tlîeir local organizations te raise mioney throughi such -activities as "Apple Days". In Whitby, the local boy scout organr/.ation depends entirely on the rfioney raised through their paper drives. Every second Saturday cf the mionthi froin Septemiber througli June, the 5ti Whitby Scout Troop collects paper throughout the area west cf Cochrane Street te tlhe Picker- ing towvnshîip hueé. Tlîey collect paper only, îlot catalogues or mnagazines because their contract with Palo-Pack Paper is for paper only. The conmpany recycles tîhé paper, and the money paid the troop supports the '500 cubs and scouts' in the area. AI MacKinnon, wvlo presides over this paper drive, con- tacted me te talk over the 'situation facing Uic Sth Whitby troop. AI reported thatinii, priI te itine 1974. the paper drive was colîecting 1 2,000 pounds cf paper a mionthi. 3y October of 1974, thc drive wvas collecting only 7,000 lbs. per month, and it is con tntlng te decline ine Ucearly rnonths cf 1975. Sirîce West Lynde constitutes a major part cf Uhc area served 1»' tle 5th Whitby, AI, who lives ini the area. asked that we mnake a special appeal te aIl cf yuu on beiaîf cf the Boy Scouts. When you consider tlîat the paper nicans noney te thc Boy Scouts, and that 144 pounds of paper mneans one trec saved, let's ail save our paper and put it eut every second Saturday cf every mionth for the Sth Whîtby Scout Troop. Following from the above, AI MacKinnon also asked that we point out tlîat any boy whîo ants te join Cubs (7-10) or Scouts (11-15) should phone, or hiave bis parents phone, AI at 668-9583 after 6 p.m. The NOMINATING COMMITTEE for the WLC.A.
