v THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES; WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1929 Boy Scout Activities News of what the Boy Scouts of Oshawa are doing contributed by the scout lead- Coslitbutions to this column will be and should be sent to the ers. wi Times morning each week. . : EDITORIAL Recently, several murmurings have reached our ears. that there are still some people left in Oshawa, who, knowing sorhing of the principles of our movement, have scen fit to con- demn it as being militaristic. . . Nothing of course could be further ftom the truth, and if these people would take the trouble to examine our oath and laws they would find that such is not the case. So much does the movement wish to discourage this idea, that even the most simple commands are altered to eliminate the use of military words. In fact most commands are actu- ally given without any words at all. While it is to be admitted that while on parade at any social fune- tion, the boys are taught to march in step, yet this can hardly be called militaristic, for nobody wishes to see a crowd of boys ambling along in any old fashion when the whole troop 1s moving at the same time. Scouting teaches its followers first- ly the love of God, secondly the love of country, and thirdly the duty of being useful and helping others. This last clause should recommend itself to all the critics of the move- ment, inasmuch as it contains. the other two, if properly carried out. The ability to tie the correct knot on the proper occasion has saved more than one life, whilst the ina- bility to do so has lost more than one life. Surely this, along with the teaching of first aid, and the instruction as to}, how a boy should get along if lost in the back-woods or out by himself 'ARTHUR FE.

On Satur- day afternoon the scouts proceeded down to the lakeshore with their kit, then began a trek along the shore to the east. S.M. Cornish transported the kit in his canoe, which was also used to ferry the scouts across the several marshes. After proceeding along the shore about 2%; miles 2a suitable camp site was found, and after first obtaining 'permission from the fagmer, camp was set up. 4 On Sunday the troop attended the evening service at Ebenezer church, after which a council fire was held. On Monday Mr .Cornish took the op- portunity to give the boys instruc- tion in canoeing. After supper camp was struck and faces were reluctantly turned for home. 2 On Monday night, July 8th, the 6th Troop held an outdoor meeting in the "Bush," though members were few, instruction . was given in signaling and scout signs. * % ¥ The 4th Oshawa Troop held an out- door meeting on Saturday afternoouu at Harmony Woods. Although the weather was anything but ideal, it did not dampen the boys' spirits, and everyone had a good time. Stalking and other scout games were indulged in, while softball also added to the fun. Supper also was an_ important item, vegetable soup and other weird and wonderful con- coctions being prepared. Things were i mk to take 'on a decidedly damp aspect so the troop departed for home in good time, The 4th Oshawa Troop will meet at the Rotary Park on Friday next at 7 o'clock. 4 LAE I In spite of adverse weather condi- tions, the 8th Troop had a very suc- cessful strawberry festival on Satur- day last. : : The "lawn of Christ Church was gaily decorated for the occasion with ags kindly lent by the local firemen, and the tables were set under a can- opy, required for. its intended purpose of shedding the sun's rays, at least served as an ad- mirable shelter during the spasmodic showers during the aftermoon. The tennis club of .the.church kind- ly arranged a tournament. for the af- ternoon, and a large gathering of en- thusiasts were on the grounds. One 'of the most notable stalls on the grounds, was the one which wasy. } dispensing novelties, many of which were very cleverly made. Little Mexi- can- hats with a thimble and four needles concealed in the crown, proved fast sellers, while spoons made of cedar, tin soldiers, writing pads and souvenirs made. from old cart- ridge cases vied with each other. in finding customers. 3 It is estimated that at least: thirty dollars will be added to the Troop! § funds and considering the weatuer, this is certainly a very fine showing. The 8th Wolf Cub Pack under their|. new leader, Cubmaster R. Fry, were|" doing duty at the strawberry festival last Saturday. * * The 4th Troop did a good turn re- cently by lending a tent to the 6th Troop for their week end camp. This sort of co-oporation between troops leads to a happy scouting fraternity and we are pleased to note this spirit evidenced. 2 . The 7th Troop held an investiture ceremony on Tuesday of last week, when Graham Bickle was raised from the rank of troop leader to assistant scoutmaster, Clarence Nott from pa- trol leader to troop leader, and Harry Brockwell to patrol leader. S.M. Boultbee was assisted during the ceremony and the following meet: ing by S.M. Terrett of the 5th Troop. After the investiture, some stalk- ing games were- played: and some short instructional periods in. arti- ficial respiration held. The meeting was thoroughly enjoy- ed by all and served as a good wel- come to two newcomers to the troop, one of whom was Scout Shane who has recently come from Belleville. * % 0» The meeting of the 5th Troop was held last Friday :as usual, and was .given over chiefly to the subject of camping. The instructional period was used in studying Morse again and some sending was done with the flags. Many of the boys are getting quite good at reading the code now, and everybody is taking a lively interest in it, . The dates of the summer camp were announced at the meeting, and a letter was given to each boy for his parents, explaining the matter and asking that their boy be permitted to attend. Several scout games were played during the evening and the meeting closed 'at 9 o'clock. On Monday last( the committee of the 5th Troop gathered for their monthly meeting, Matters pertaining chief to the summer camp were "discussed and arrangements for transportation, etc., made. Three camp prizes were announced, and they were as follows: 1. Silk handkerchief for best all round 'boy in. camp. 2. Silver medal for boy making best progress in Scout work during camp. 3. Hatchet for the boy with the best demeanor.at camp, These prizes are being donated by members of the troop committee and RESPONSIBILITY OF NURSES STRESSED : President of Swedish Nurses Speaks at Montreal Montreal, P.Q., July 10.--~The | nurse with the feeling of responsi- "| bility can understand easily the du- ties of a citizen because in her pri- | vate actions she already is a con- tributing member of the commim- fl |ity, Sister Bertha Wellin, member | of the Swedish Parliament ana " PEARL ORAIG Toronto, a real 'Orange Lily," as she appeared all dressed up when the Orangemen attended thanksgiving service for the Kings' recovery. are all about equal as far as the honour is concerned, * * * TROOP NOTICE 5th Troop.

THE SUNDAY VISITS (Renfrew Mercury) The Anglican rector of Franktown has made a very plain pronouncement against the practice which many people of towns have of calling upon their township friends on Sundays, whereby people of farm homes are kept away from church and the wo- men-folks are given a great deal of extra work, These visits are not paid without refreshments being par- taken of, which means expensc to the people visited. Franktown is lo- cated close to the towns of Smith's Falls, Carleton. Place and Almonte, '{but as President of the Swedish Nurses' Association told the nurses of more than 40 countries at a meet- ing of the Congress of the Inter- national Council of Nurses. "We are not like other profes- sions. We eannot isolate ourselves and our work," the speaker said "When & young woman is accepted 'las a student nurse the responsibil. ity for her actions becomes widen- ed. During the whole of our acts yity as nurses, we exercise an in- fluence upon the opinion which people hold of the school of nurs- ing which has trained us and upon long." Warning her hearers against the | enttance of nurses' associations in- to political work, Sister Wellin pointed out that as individual eiti- zens, nurses could contribute: much in educating others in good citizen- ship. "We must leave nurse organiza- tions out of politics and concern ourselves only as individual nurses, and then not as active politicians interested citizens," snv¢ said. ~ "It is an indisputable fact that the sick room and the hospi tal ward should not be places of political propaganda. But nurses can contribute by awakening public spirit and a feeling of responsibil- ity. Thousands of opportunities should arise when we nurses, with- out breaking the laws of tact, good judgment, and political neutranty can use our powers toward creat- ing good citizens. "Our education as worthy eiti- zens like our training in the nurse's profession," Sister Wellin declared, "must be based on ethic- al foundation. How can we be good. citizens unless we. are good men and women," she urged. Miss Annie W. Goodrich, Dean of School of Nursing, Yale Univer- sity, who preceded Miss - Wellin, said that an incéreasing number of colleges and universities are recog- nizing the need for placing nurs- ing education on a basis with the education of other professional groups such as physicians, lawyers, dentists. More than 30 collegcs and universities now have schools of nursing. Miss S. C. Hearder, Matron of Bethlehem Royal Hospital, Lon- don, led a round table discussion on the need of education in mental nursing in the general curriculum.
