CHURCHES SPONSORS 0F MOST BOY SCOUT TROOFS IN CANADA rPerhaps the best pofta h Boy Scout program is religious in principle is the fact tbat of 2,175 sponsored groups of Cubs and Scouts in Canada, 1,249 are spon- somed by churches. A sponsored group may contain a Wolf Cub Pack, a Scout Troop and a Rover Crew, or it migbt be any one or two of tbem. Scouting is, perhaps tbe only boys' organization in the world wbich bas the approval of nearly alI religious faitbs, thus providing a common ground for the common good irrespective of J one's religious persuasion. In Canàda the Scout groups are sponsomed by the following churches: Anglican, 413; Bnptist, 60; Hebrew, 22; Latter Day Saints, 29; Lutheman, 4; Presbyterian, 104; Roman Catbolic, 283; Salva- tien Army, 45; United Churcb, 289. The other 926 groups are sponsor- ed by the Canadian Legion, 36; Community, 706; Service Clubs, 84, and other bodies, 90. High officials in aIl tbe churches mentioned are among those hold-1 ing membersbip on the Canadian1 General Council 0f the Boy Scout Association. Canadian Boy Scouts are con- ducting a "Seeds for Britain" campaign and are expected.to, shipi many hundmeds of pounds of gar-1 den seeds to fellow Scouts in Britain for use in tbeir Victory Gardens.

Press Salutes Mr. Bracken 3 Editor's note - Again we arE sindebted to our good friend Dr 1J. N. Hutchison of Winnipeg, foi tsending us the following editorial rfrom The Winnipeg Free Press, 1which makes fitting tribute to thE 3departume of John Bracken frorrn the provincial field of governmenl to the national amena at Ottawa, The editorial follows: Not only Mm. Bmacken but the people of Manitoba can look bac< upon the twenty yeams of his premiersbip with a large measumE of satisfaction. By any practical standard we have had good and honest government during those two decades and we bave seeni establisbed bere a tradition of ad- ministration far better than any- thing wbich preceded it and one »which everyone is confident wil] be preserved under bis successor, Mm. Bracken bas seldom since 1922 done anything spectacular, His bas been a steady and cautiaus advance strictly limited by wbat lie bas believed to be politicaliy practical and witbin the financia] resources of tbe province to carry out. He consolidated the social programi of bis predecessors and expanded it; lie developed a gobd provincial bigbway system, on methodical lines; lie bas aided greatly in the opening of the nortb country; lie bas to somne ex- tent aided îndustry. He bas bad two main objects: to improve the lot of the agricultural population and to develop a more rounded economy in Manitoba, one better balanced and tbus better able ta witbstand the. storms of adversity when tbey come. This is an end- less program, but any comparison of the state of Manitoba in 1922 witb its condition in 1943 leaves Mm. Bracken with a large and very comfortable balance on the credit side. He is experienced in the band- ling of economic depressions. He assumed office during the agrar- ian slump wbicb followed the last war; and since 1930 he bas been struggling with tbe impact and effects of the collapse wbicb began in 1929. It bas been bis study of these events wbicb bas best fitted bima for the larger me- sponsibilities bie now assumes, for the more be bas studied the more clearly lie bas seen that tbe Man- itoba economy is not one capable of sucb internai modification as to make security available toa al. Every problem wbicb bas con- fronted him. bas forced bim to take wider and la-gem views. He bas iearned very completely that the foundation of prospemity ini Canada cannet be ncbieved by any pandez-lng to particular classes or regions, and that tbe real solution of our provincial ilîs lies fan be- yond tbe constitutional powers whicb Manitoba enjoys. He is doubtless equnlly aware that Can- ada cannot secure prosperity by f living to herself, which means that he ought to continue to op- pose ail policies of restriction. This then is the background and record of tbe man wbo yesterday laid down the Manitoba leader- ship and assumes the leadersbip of the party wbich todny consti- tutes the major opposition to the Government of tbe day. Tbat party, powerful and historic, bas been since 1921 in an eclipse ligbtened only by five yenrs of Power wbicb in the event proved more disast-ous to it than would have been its continuance in op- position. The number of citizens in Canada wbo look back upon the yeams from 1930 to 1935 witb satisfaction must surely be the most limited group in tbe Domin- ion. It is perbaps idie to specu- late fully upon the x'easons for this prolonged darkness of tbe Conservative pnrty, but among tbe factors in its eclipse undoubt- edly bas been its rash, inept and unenligbtened leadership. It is reasonabie on the Manitoba record to say that this series of bad if inescapable cboices bas come to an end. Wbat Mm. Brack- en will be able to do witb bis followcrs no one today can say. Theme are large elements of in- transigency in that party wbicb bave in tbe past succeeded in forc- ing their will upon the wbole with mesults now fully apparent in the body politic. It bas been those el- ements, these past twenty years, A lot of people look upon the Scout movement as an organiza- tion for providing boys the oppor- tunity to pursue a lot of harmless activities. Even among parents of Scouts there is sometimes a wholly inadequate appreciation of what a Boy Scout learns as hie Dattends bis Troop meetings from 1week to week. r This little "Quiz" might provide an opportunity to, test your own ahility beside that of a First Class Scout. Answer these questions hon estly and just see how you twould measure up beside a Scout who bas gained his First Class badge. Do you know the composition tand history of, and bow to fly tbe Union Jack? Can you tie these six knots: Reef, sheet bend, clove bitcb, bow- line, round turn and two haîf stitches, and sbeepshank and un- derstand their respective uses? Can you whip the end of a mope? 1 Can you swim 50 yards? Can you send a message in Semnapbore or Morse code? Can you explain the funictions of tteprincipal organs of tbe body? tho you know bow to apply first aid to fractures? i Do you know bow to deal with 1 effects resulting from fire, drown- 1ing, run-away borse, fainting, gas 1suffocation, frost bite, electric 1shock? 1 Could you cook over a camp fire in tbe open, porridge, stew, rice, pancakes, bread? 1 Could you use an axe properly >to fell a tree and trim it? 1 Could you, using a compass, do 1a cross-country journey on foot to -a point at least seven miles away )and return; build a shelter for the rnight, cook your own meals, puri- .fy your own water, and inciden- itally map the country through 1which you pass? Could you name the 16 principal 1points of the compass? These things, and many more any First Class Scout in Canada can do. >said that, as be stands upon the -tbreshold of bis new career hie tappears to be the best leader 1which the Conservative party bas 3found since Sir Robert Borden 3laid down bis seals of office in .1920. r At all events bis advent in the *federal field and his appearance in the Housç of Commons wbicb *it must be hoped will not be long delayed, will do much to elevate the tenor of discussion in Canada. Mr. Bracken lacks the fundamen- tal contempt for tbe prime min- ister whicb. bas marjced tbe men- tal attitude of bis predecessors to Mr. King witb consequences la- mentable only to tbemselves. It - às therefome in the bigbest degree unlikely that hie will stoop to the debaucbery of public de- iate wbicb bas been their stock in trade. De- bate benceforth is lîkely to be maintained on a plane worthy of the honor and dignity of the na- tion. This prospect, of wbicb the greatest certainty exists, would in itself justify the loss wbicb Mani- toba bas sustained. A recent survey by Dominion Headquarters of the Boy Scouts reveals that well over 100,000 for:- mer Boy Scouts are today serving in the Canadian forces. Several have been decorated for gallantry, and more than 200 bave given their lives. Bentonite is a very fine-grained cînylike substance, derivçd fromn volcanic asb, some varieties of whicb expand wben immersed in water; it is used as a tbickener for drilling mud in oil wells and as a filler in paper. A prize of 1 ,000 for outstanding research on alcoholismn during 1943 is offered by the Research Council on problems of alcobol. The research must contribute new knowledge in some bancb of medicine, biology, or sociology important to the understanding, prevention or treatment of alco- bolism.

We only have one pair of eyes. They mean much to us, and once they are gone, cannot be replaced. Any effort that can be expended in the effort to advise against accidents is of great importance and we are pleased to know this effort is not in vain. Next to life itself is vision. Only those wbo are at the work know and even then some will stili neglect until danger is fol- lowed by the real accident. Workers on buffers know the hazards of flying particles. Those on emery wbeels know the baz- ards from flying emery, chips and pieces of metal. Even when they know, as, I have said before, they will neglect until the last minute even after the cînder or other for- eign body finds a place in the eye, it may be neglected until more advanced stages of infection are set up. Remember, it is not ai- ways the small particle, but gen- erally the subsequent irritation leading to the more serious infec- tion that is more dangerous.

SUCCESSFUL 1907 CAMP SAW ORIGIN 0F SCOUTS The 36tb anniversamy of the first Boy Scout camp in history will be celebrated in July of this year. It was on July 25th, 1907, that Ba- den-Powell decided to make an important experiment. Selecting a gmoup of boys, baîf of them fmom workems' homes and, haîf fmom homes 0f the well-to-do, the Founder of Scouting took tbemn off to Brownsea Island, Dorset, for the fimst Scout camp. The camp proved an unqualified success. It gave Baden-Powell an opportunity to put to practical test many of the theomies he bad ad- vanced in bis magazine articles, "Scoutink for Boys." Tbese ar- ticles bad been wmitten oiginally to give boys an opportunity to benefit from bis tbnilling experi- ences as a Scout in the South African Wam. Baden-.Powell was convinced that physical fitness could be combined with a pmogmam of moral and spiritual good bealth to produce a better generation of young men.
