The Rotary meeting at the Flying Dutchman on Thurs- day, Oct. 3rd began with the usual round of enthusiastic fining for contraventions of the customs of Rotary. Bill thiesburger compiained loud- ly but ineffectually about the tactics of the Sergeant-at- Arms who first stole his badge and then fined him for not wearing it. Rotarian George Vice was congratulated and fined for having a birthday. Morley Watson proved an admirable example of the Talk Scouting motto "¯Be Prepar ed" when he filled in for the scheduled speaker, Stanley Richardson of Oshawa. It was reported that Mr. Richardson bad left Oshawa but he did not appear at the meeting. Mr. Watson extended his planned introduction into an interest- ing talk on Scouting. Calling the Boy Scouts the "best organization I have ever been associated with", Scouter Watson gave a brief outline of his history in Scouting. He began years ago ~John Duffy's "Got-my-claim- paid-in-24-hours" Our standing goal s to make pay- ment n ful within 5 working days from the tlme Safeco s adjuster gels your claim We usually succeed Safeco Insurance on your car, home, boat, business, Safeco, he1th, life and everything e ehu you value OSBORNE & SHANK INSURANCE AGENCY LTD.

This led to his becoming an Assistant Cub-master and eventually the Old Baloo or Old Bear of the Cub pack. As his career moved him through the Windsor-Sarnia area, he kept up his connec- tion with Scouting. In discus- sing his association with the Bowmanville Scout troup, he explained how recently other responsibilities have prevent- ed him from taking as active a part as he would like but commended Tommy Wright and Sam Hitchens for the fine work they are doing as his successors. Mr. Watson ekplained how Cubbing has an adult-centred emphasis where boys are led and given an opportunity to participate. Scouting on the other hand, emphasizes self- reliance. Mr. Watson feels very strongly that Scouting presents an important chal- lenge to today's youth. "The boys who accept that chal- lenge will never be a disgrace to their parents...Scouting can make a mark on a young boy's life that will stay with him into adulthood ...The more they can do for themselves, the better equi ped they are for adult- hood He illustrated how Scouting develops self-reliance by des- cribing some Scouting activi- tics. The weekend of Oct. 5 and 6, 16 of the boys from the Bowmanville Scout Troop camped at Bill Thiesburger's property. They had to make all their own camping mater- ials as a test of their ingenuity and resourcefulness. Scouter Watson is especially proud of Larry Dadson, 16, of the local Scout troup, who bas been selected as a member of the Canadian contingent to the World Scouting Jamboree in Norway. Mr. Watson finished his talk by recalling some of the more interesting moments of his Scouting career. Once a con- gregation was shocked when their campfire church service was suddenly invaded by a troop of drenched and muddy Scouts. Thei? immaculate grooming had been sabotaged by a practical joker who had booby-trapped the monkey bridge they had to cross to get to church. Bill Wilson thanked Mr. Watson for his entertaining speech and also for his fine work with the Scouts in Bowmanville. President Alf Allin adjourn- ed the meeting by reminding the members, "The trouble with having a place for everything is how often it gets filled up with everything else."

Coun. Frew expects that the Senior Citizens will need more money to complete the work. Hinting that money might be available next year, he sug- gested that Seugog Council be approached with the revised plan. At a previous council meet- ing, Mr. Gibson had said that the group would lose their New Horizons grant if they did not settle the dispute and get on with the work immediately. Under questioning by the Parks Board, Mr. Gibson admitted that he had¯ not specifically been told this, but that they were required to submit a rogress report at the end of October. It was reasonable to conclude, he felt, that if the report showed no progress, this would consti- tute grounds for the revoca- Lion of the grant. The portion of the seniors' grant allotted for materials and labor for renovations was $3,600. The other $2,000. must be used for capital expendi- tures such as a stove, a refrigerator and a projector. The Senior Citizens have $1,000 of their own money committed to this project. Coun. Frew suggested that since the actual work would not be donc until next year the Senior Citizens may be elig- ible for another grant from New Horizons to cover the increased costs of'the revised project. Mr. Gibson reiterated that the Senior Citizens would have had ample money to do a nice renovating job if their original plan had been ado pted. The Parks Board took care to explain that the Senior Citizens group would not have control of the hall because they had renovated it. The improved hall will probably attract more rental business. Both the revenue and the decisions on who will be allowed to rent the building will be under the jurisdiction of council. Mr. Gibson replied that the Senior Citizens are not inter- ested in controlling the hall. They only want to use it one evening and two afternoons each week. and Clint, Elmsvale.
