These bilkS were maini Iconcerned with money and dane Iproblems. There was one biUl con Icerning us, however, whieh jshauld like ta enlarge upon. deals With the revival of the Bow manville, Oshawa, Whitby Debat ,ing Union. This bill has been pu- befare Congress mnany times withl o ut receiving appraval, but th( stalwart member propasing i thought that with a delagatiar from Bowm anville present thE time ta bring it up was approp« Sriate. Recess was then declared in or- jder that we might present aur own views. It was painted out that C. C.V.I. was tao large a school t. campete with Bawmanville and Whitby in sparts campetition, but that an intellectual competition, such as a goad debate would pro- vide an excellent medium through which friends cauld be made and school spirit increased. The debate cancluded with the appointment of a ways and means committee. Dy this trne we were tremend- ously impressed by the Congress, the students, and the speaker and wandered if thesa demacratic me- thads could flot be used in aur own Students Union. It is rather ironical that in the afternoon the topic for debate should ha whether O.C.V.I. had schoal spirit or not. One of the highlights of the debate accurred when Mr. Hawkshaw was asked to define school spirit in fifty words or less. In view of the fact that school spirit is such a diffi- cuIt term ta define and that Mr. Hawkshaw had anly tan minutes in which ta do it, we believe that his definition is excellent. "School spirit"~, Gord said, "is the gaod neighbaur policy; the United Na- tions af the school; the friendlj- ness of scholars and teachers; the code of the school, the breadth of the school in the classroom, in ex- tra-curricular activities, and even in the home; and the 'school first' idea"~. It was painted out ta the assembly by the speaker that the fifty students who were present an a beautiful holiday had school spirit, although they didn't rea- lize it. Car we i nfer from this that stu- dents at B.H.S. have school spirit but do not realize it? Perhaps! In my opinion O.C.V.I. is at a disad- vantage hecausa of the size of the studant body. B.H.S. has as many advantagas as O.C.V.I. and more; howeven, there is always noam for impravement. We shouid endeav- aur ta camne out of aur cliques or gangs, for these quickly dampen any spirit in othens and actually show aur own weaknassas.

We knaw you wili be interested ta know that ane hun- dred Boy Scouts from variaus parts of Eastern Ontario plan ta set up their camp in this delight- fui spot. The Scouts will arrive Friday evening, eract their tants, and, atherwise make themselves sfnug for the waekend. On May 21 they will plant trees in the fore- noon, then repeat this wonderful public service act on Monday fore- noon. In between times they will have hikes, write farestry essays, hold field trials, sing sangs, pro- duce skits, have church on Sun- day morning. Although they will ha planting many trees for us in Durham County, they ,will flot on- ly receive noa pay for*thair work, but, are compelled ta pay for the Privilega. They wan't ibe occupy- ing bads either, but sleeping on the cold graund. The use of the camp site will ba free, however, the boys have ta be fed, that is wvhy each Scout mnust pay a fee ta camp in aur rnidst over the waek end. Why flot run out, mix with the!se fine yaung chaps, bid them wvelcomne ta Durham County, thank them. for planting trees on our. aroded souls, and otherwîsa encourage them ta become good Canadian citizens, worthy of the and thay are trying ta improve. rheir camps in bath 1947 and 1948 have been madels of cleanliness, idiness and efficiency.

The Hydro pales are in front of our home now. Guess there isn't rnuch excuse for not putting in the wiring naw. We visited Rudy Selback's ab- battoir at Hampton last waek. It .s considered tha hast in Ontario of it's siza. Mr. Selback has every convenience for handling meat of any kind. We vîsited his wall- stockad caoling raom, containing sides of beef, park, bacon, hams, sausages, etc. One of the guests got his coat tail caught in the hig doar of the coolar, there he was, frantically trying ta jain the rest of us but heing held tight by the caat tails caught in the door. Someone said thay thought his lame was Norman Leach, Taun- on. We have somatimes sean dags getting thair tails caught going through screen doors, but this is ha first occasion we have seen a full grown man in a like position.
