B, TESTED HERDS Since the County of Prince Ed- ward was made a restricted area for T.B.-tested cattle the Depart- ment of Agriculture at Ottawa has been endeavoring to have the East- ern Ontario' peninsula, extending from the Ottawa River to the St. Lawrence east of Kingston, placed on a similar basis, Many of the towns in that district have been endeavoring to improve their milk supply, but efforts to pass pasteur- izing legislation have men with con- siderable opposition, On Monday night the Gananoque Town Coun- cil passed a resolution providing that on and after Jupe 1 next all milk sold within the limits of the town must come from T.B.-tested herds. This wil lshut out a few smal lvendors, unless they have their milk pasteurized before that time, Petitions have been in cir- culation among the farmers and milk producers in Eastarn Ontario counties for some weeks looking to the establishing of a restricted area, and considerable progress is being made, Scout Notes The news that a new scout troop will shortly be formed in the Holy H. | Trinity parish in South Oshawa, brings up once again the oft-discus- sed question of a central scout or- ganization for this district, Under the rules of the Dominion Boy Scout Association, where a sufficient number of troops are running in any locality, that lo- cality, must have a b local Association, composed of all the registered scouts and scouters-in the district, and any persons interested in Edu- cationa lor Boys' work, who are suf- ficiently interested to give their support to the movement, Oshawa, with, its seven troops (including the Salvation Army troop) should have a local Boy Scouts' Associa- tion as soon as possible, The duties of a local Association are many and varied, Its first con- sideration is to keep scouting going in the district which it sponsors, and experience has shown that scouting cannot develop to its full- est extent without the stimulus provided by a central group; a con- necting link is also provided be, tween 'individual troops, and Do- minion Headquarters since all reg- istrations census returns, and sim- flar communications are conducted 'through the medium of the local Association, The driving force behind the Association. is provided by an executive committee which is elect- ed at a yearly meeting of tlie whole Association and consists of at least as many other members as scouts, It is suggested that these other members be such men or women as school-masters, clergy- men, social workers, who wiil be conversant with the best methods of furthering the aims of the scout movement, i.e., training in the high ideals of the good citizenship. It is also one of the duties of the Association through fits executive committees to appoint a Commis- sioner, and assistants if necessary, for the district, This position is usually held by a man with some scouting experience who visits and inspects the troops annually, takes charge of all district parades and generally watches the progress of each troop, Scouting is at a standstill in Oshawa at the present time from lack of a central branch of the movement and it is hoped that at the scontmasters' meeting which is scheduled to take place shortly this subject will take first place in the discussion, : These troops urgently need all possible support in order to carry out their summer plans. Ticket sales have already exceeded all ex- pectations and any who have mot already booked their seats are ad- vised to do so early as only limited accommodation is now available, We regret to announce that C-M F, Harding 6th Oshawa pack has resigned owing to his health, His duties are, however, being per- formed by Mr. H, T. Saywell who has accepted the position of C-M fn Mr, Harding's place. .
