Such is Nipigon Park, one of Ontario's great forest reserves. It has an area of 7,300 square miles. No national playground in Canada offers such sport to nimrod and novice alike, for these cold green waters of the north are alive with the gamiest of trout. Trout have been taken from these waters up to a record weight of 144 pounds. .. Orient Bay, three and 3 half hours run east of Port Arthur, on the Téronto- Ww innipeg line of the Capadian National Railways, is the gateway to this fisher- man's paradise. At Orient Bay, Nipigon ge--a rustic hunting and fishing lodge de luxe--is set among the pines and cedars. From here, all the Nipigon trips may be made either by motor-boat or canoe. Prince Arthur of Con- naught, while touring Canada--and, later, the Prince of Wales--fished in' these waters and caught their limit of Nipigon trout. A trophy is awarded annually by the Canadian National Railways to the fisherman catching the largest Nipigon speckled trout. Last season twenty- five contenders secured fish weighing five pounds and over. The specimen; that won the prize tipped the scale at seven pounds. SCOUTING (By H. L.

If people would only take sufficient in- terest to enquire after the aim and objects and would take more inter- est in their own boys the existing ignorance with regard to the Boy Scout movement would soon become non-existing. But there always have people ready to condemn before they know the first thing about the movement or thing that they are condemaling. . Stanted in England The Boy Scout movement was started in England in 1908 by Sir. Robert, now Lord Baden Powell. He interesting as well as instructive.

Les PAGE THIRTEEN !' ! LS ---- to you about this habit of father. Mother says men How do we do it? What methods do we use? These questions come! naturally to the person who is be- ginning to take an interest in the movement, and they are questions that should he answered. We base our training on the fact that each boy is more or'less differ- ent' from the other boy. No two hoys are alike and each is a different per eonality. This is what makes the work so difficult, and yet so interest- ing, because as far as possible we have to try and take each boy in- dividually, as a method that succeeds with one hoy will have no effect up- on another. We get over it hy mak- ing our meetings as interesting, and as snappy and lively as we possibly can. We teach them how to tle knots, signalling, first aid, cooking, map reading, and how to find their way ahout strange country without the ald of compass or any other in- strument, We teach them camping, | and how to make themselves a shel- | ter out of nafural material and a | host of other things that interest, and educate, | Develops Resourcefulness | This is the kind of training that | developes observation and resource- | fulness und self reliance. The 10 Scout Laws and the Scout Promise | are the basic of the moral traming and are the Scout's "(lode of Honor." And there is the whole point of the argument in favor of Seouting and the boys are trusted to do and to be certain things. They are put upon their honor and it is rarely, if ever they fall down. A boy loves to be trusted, and if he knows that he is tampered with lightly, and what a responsibility there is resting upon the shoulders of the Scoutmaster. The man who has the moulding or say 30 of these young lithe bundles of energy, plastic as elay and as casil- ly moulded, the Scoutmaster's task is not a light one, for he has the love and trust of this body of alert bright, wide open eyed youngsters and he (Continued on page 14) RSA SSS CCON BANS SS SCC -« DYAL NAVY AVAL TO ~ SOOTY SS RSS NR SRN SSO SOS SN AS) J ~r oe SS SESS RS SONS SS SRR RR RS n> RSS CCC CRN BONY LSTA CUT PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO " Did A Annan Y Wonderful lit Quality Alb. tin "ulb packets 15¢ I ------ __ ------ Dunlop Tires Because They ) €-10Nnalres These are great days for the motor car user--in a tire sense.
