oN ¢ DN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1931 Interesting News of Youthful Oshawa Boy Scout Activities News of what the Boy Scouts of Oshawa are doing contributed by the scout lead ers. Contributions to this column will be welcomed, and should be sent to the Times office not later than Tuesday morning each week. SCOUT NOTES Spring is coming, and the signs fortelling its approach have been plentiful in the last two weeks. f course the return of the birds, and the mildness-of the atmosphere may point that way, and still foot 'us by allowing the weather to turn cold again, but the one infallible sign is marbles, When marbles come out, then Spring is just around the corner and no matter how much old man Winter endeavours to retain his icy hold on our poor bones, marbles will drive him away. About two weeks after marbles, come the crows, and as we looked out of our windows early this week we saw the crows in the distance, back in their happy hunting ground "The Pines." But that leads us to think of the various Spring activities in which we as_Scoyts can participate, First "of all, we nist think of our feathered friends who are returning. The Robins and the Wrens, the Purple Martins and the hosts of other birds who will be looking for homes. Each: Scout should build at least one house for these little joybringers and should not stop at one if he can help it. or the first few weeks, the birds are going to find it pretty hard scrat- ching: to rake up 'enough food. Scouts can, help a great deal by helping to supply the daily menu. Old crusts of bread, pieces of suet and fat meat, and crumbs of cake bread, all of these are acceptable and they are usually wasted in the aver- age household. A little thought and a little care, and many a bird can be made hapnv, Then further on the subject of bird houses, we wonld like to remind you of the Intey Troop Bird House Building Competition, Start to work néw and see that you get your house finished by nest- ing time, After we have thought of birds, we mist think of trees. Each year, the Provincial Govern- ment gives to any farmer who makes annlication, 4,000 trees for reforesta- tion. y "Many Scout Troops in the Prov ince assist in this work by suggesting to a farmer that if he will make an- plication for some trces, they will at- tend to the planting, One of our local oF: oops planted 1,- 000 trees last year on a farm, Do you know of any farmer for Jhon your Troop could do this good rn If so, suggest it to your Scoutmas- ter, and he can obtain application blanks fro mthe secrttary of the lo- cal Association. There are many other opportunities for good turns which Spring brings us, and we should welcome them and take advantarg of them if we are true Scouts, We are pleased to announce that the Club Leaders Course will be run in the Rotary Hall on March 16th, 17th, and 18th, All persons interested in Wolf Cub work should make it a point to at- * fend these meetings. Field Secretary E. T. Jones, from Provincial Headquarters will be in charge of the course, The Fifth and Seventh Troops held a tracking hike last Saturday. In.the morning a number of boys went out to a place, destination un known, leaving signs on the trail for others to follow. At one thirty, the other party fol- lowed them out and with considerable difficulty, traced them to their lair, only to find that the fugitives had found the day too cold to wait around, and had gone home after leaving the proper sign. Small fires were then built by the trackers and the evening meal cook- ed and consumed before returning home, Although the fugitives were not caught, everybody was happy at hav- ing been able to follow the trail ac- curately, SCOUT NOTICE Sth & 7th Troopsi-- © The Sth and 7th Troops will meet as usual tonight in St. George's Par- ish Hall, Wolf Cubs, 6.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. Court of Honour, 7.00 p.m, to 7.30 p.m. Troop meeting, 7.30 p.m. to 9.00 p. m, Please bring running shoes or rub- bers. . 2ND OSHAWA TROOP There will be no meeting of the Scouts or Cubs on Friday, Feb, 27, as the church has been turned over to the Girls' Council.

SEVENTH WOLF CUB PACK The Seventh Pack will meet in fit, George's Parish Hall, Centre 8t., on Friday, February 27th, at 6.30 p.m. The Sixers' Council will meet immediately after the general Pack meeting. Cubs age again re- minded of the birdhouse building competition which is to be held in the near futur Sea Bongers The good ship Marco Polo is well out to sea now! [Everything points to a clear sailing Its crew, the Sea Rangers of Oshawa, is growing from week to week and many of those who started out when the movement for Sea Rangers in the city first began are far advanced in the work of the Rangers already. Miss Moyse tried a large groyp on their Child Nurse badge last even- ing. Skipper Ross gave most interest- ing instructions on the work in the Art Lovers' Badge in their de- Florentine Art was last night's sub- ject. These jolly Rangers in their de- sire to keep as much as possible te things nautical have turned their tastes in dancing in that direction also and are learning the intricatc steps of the Sailors' Hornpipe, Ship Ahoy! ~ O.C AN. 1. LIBRARY NOTES B AraRea "Reeti Cultus Pectora Reoborant." ~ [HE HISTORY OF LITERATURE This week the Librarian deliver- 8d the first of a new series of bi- weekly lectures on the history of Beratyre. It was entitled, "The king of Books." Future lec- :ures will include, "The Beginnings of Literature,' 'The Mysterious Cast," "Jewish Literature," "Greek History and Historians." BIRD CLUB EXCURSION Last Saturday ten members of Bird-8tudy Club gathered at Public Library and went on a excursion. They walked about miles. A number of winter were observed,--prarie horn- larke, crossbills, grosbeaks, adees, a blue jay, and a crow. All who went enjoyed the hike 'very much, It is likely that these trips will be taken frequently from now until June. BURROUGHS CLUB Ten members attended last Fri- day's meeting. Mansell Stacey read a particularly fine paper on "Some Lost Civilizations." It pro- ked interesting discussion. The Burroughs' Club Book List (a list of nature books which have been © * anjoyed by club members) will be * mimeographed shortly. A Snowy Owl wos added to the club mu- goum, The Womans Tonic DrPIERCES Favorife Prescription a7 ALL DRUG STORE réading. "Books to Read" is be- ing received enthusiastically. The list will not be distributed until the close of the school year. At that time one copy will be given to every student who expects to return to O.C.V.L. in September, and also to every boy and girl in the en- trance classes of the public schools. All books are now being taken out and returned during study per- fods. This procedure makes It possible for the librarian to give greater attention to the reference work done before nine o'clock. dur- ing the noon hour, and after four, hp ---- LIBRARY SCIENCE PAPER The Easter examination for first year students will be based on Lb- rary Regulations, Note-taking, How to Study, The Value and Use of Libraries, How a Book is Made, Care of Books, The Printed Parts of a Book, Early Histary of Writ- ing, Edrly Writing Materials, Early Writing Implements.

Third form- ers will be asked about the work of the first two years and also The Card Catalogue, Reference Books, The Compiling of Bibliographies. The Earliest Books, and the Scribes of tho Monastery, THE STUDENT PLAYERS The Student Players are rehears- ing the two plays which they will present sometime soon. The Glee Club and Orchestra are likewise working hard with thelr part of the programme. Aranea lias been pres- ent at some rehearsals: if you miss the Students' Productions this year you will be sorry. They are going to be very good, I am sure. ACTA LUD] ' Xop, you are gojug to have your Scout L eaders Couference Held In Hamilton The Tenth Annuai Scout Lead- ers Conference was held at the Royal Connaught Hotel, Hamilton on February 13th and 14th, and ft was the general opinion of all that it was the best that had been held yet, Well over three hundred leaders registered for the confer- ence and some very important mat- ters were discussed. This year a new idea was tried and found to be well worth the change of conducting a conference, The change was as follows: In- stead of holding general sessions, it was divided into sectional con- ferences, Cub Leaders, Scout Leaders, Rover Leaders, so that in this manner it was possible to de- vote more time to tho group which was of most interest to oneself. The Cub section was under the direc- tion of Field Secretary, E, Jones. The Scout Section was under Field Secretary A. Paddon and the Ro- ver Section under Ass. Provincial Rover Commissioner Bishop. The conferenco opened on Fri- day 'afternoon, with an address of welcome by District Commission- er A. D. E. VanSomeret followed by dectional conferences for the rest of tho afternoon. In the even- Ing, I suppose we had what we might call the High Light of the conference, the annual meeting dinner, which was attended hy some three hundred Scouters and people interested in Scouting. A very fine address was given by Rev. H. M. Panten, of Windsor, the theme of which was "Getting Close to God Through the Study of Nature and Outdoor Life," and as all Scouts know this is one of the Chief Scout's strongest points In Scouting. During the evening, two Hamilton troops gave (is- plays. One was how to attain good citizenship through scouting which was done by the building ot a Seout law, set of steps and the other was a pageant of how Scout- ing had been built up from the carly days of the Knights of the Round Table to the present day camp fire, which every S:2out who has tasted the joys of a summer camp, knows gomething aout, An- other very interesting event was the presenting of the Bronze Cross to ABM. Robert Tal'yt the 27th Hamilton Troon was riven for a double drowning in Lake Erle, following the swamping of a canoe In heavy storm. Talbot swam with one hoy for over 700 yards got him to shore and then undressed and went back into the stormy wa- ter and brought the other lad to sof This was the first time this award (which is the hirhest known in Scouting) has been glv- en since 1922 and Talbot well Phi TON | merited the rousing cheers which were accorded him by all vresent, Ass. Provincial Com. Irwin read the 1930 annual report and it was pleasing to note that Scout- ing has grown in Ontario and now we have somo 20,000 Scouts in this Province. Oshawa has' gone into fifth place in 1930, while in 1929 we were in eleventh place, Com- munity singing brought the mect- ing to a close and off we went to bed. Saturday morning saw a sum- mary of Friday's Conferences. Cub leaders suggested that Scout Mas- ters visit Cub Packs, that Patrols adopt a six, that story telling should play a big part in Cub work and that a District Cub Mas- ter should pay regular visits. Scout Leaders brought out the benofit of hikes, winter and sum- mer; have a special committoe plan all hikes and meetings ahead, and prepare properly for summer camp. Rover Leaders brought out that tho desire to he a Rover should come from the boy him- self. Rover dens, Squires and tak- ing the Rover Vigil and Presenta- tion Troop Finance was a lively topic and many old and new ideas were brought forward. One thing which I must tell you about, at this session was brought out, that all Bcouts should be Peptomists. What is a Peptomist? Well, a pessimist is a Scout who says it can't be done; an optimist is a Scout who says it can be doze; while a Peptomist 1s a Scout who gets up and does it. Let all be Peptomists, Shall wa? Lets! You'll be surprised how things will go then, Many games were displayed for Scout Leaders and we were advised to teach by games as often as pos- sible. Questions such as "How to Choose a Patrol Leader," "What to do With the Abnormal Boy," "What did you do about camp last summer?" "How can we teach our boys their duty to God?" "How to obtain Headquarters," 'Are you going to Gilwill Camp this sum- mer?" and a great many others which make for the building and from | a | Excitement TRAIL RANGERS THE TUXIS COLUMN TUXIS BOYS. A Vancouver group of Trail Rangers carried on a very effec- tive program last spring. After the Christmas rush, the stores and shops had a number of damaged toys and play things which they could not sell, This group of boys formed a committee to visit a number of the stores and explain the project their group had in mind. They found that it was easy to obtain articles that could be repaired without too much difficul- ty. These they carried to their club rooms and spent a number of enjoyable evenings putting them in: condition, so that they could be tsken to the Crippled Children's Hocpital, The mentor commented on the fact that he was not sure whether the boys had taken more pleasure from delivering the mend- ed articles or in having the ex- cuse of working with the toys. Mother, Father, Son Banquet The hoys of Yorkminster Bap- tist Church, Toronto, are looking forward with interest to thelr Mother, Father and Son Banquet which is being held tonight. C. F. Plewman, Secretary of the On- tarlo Boys' Work Board will ad- dress the gathering, Harmony Trai! Rangers There was keen disappointment in Harmony last Wednesday, when upon arriving at the school rink, it was found that the ice was too soft for skating. A merry and eager group of Trail Rangers and Cana- dian Girls in Training had gath ored early, ns it was the time for the Trall Rangers to entertain the ¢.G.I1T. at a skating party. Un- fortunately, the party could not immediately go inside for games and fun, because of the 8.8, Teach: ers' Study Class under the leader ship of Dr, Fletcher, which was holding its weekly meeting in the school. However,, the party amused itself in sliding, some skating, and some merry snow-balling until the hour of nine o'clock, when all went inside to partake heartily of weiners and rolls, sandwiches, cake and cocoa. About ten o'clock the party broke up, all declaring that they had a good time in spite of the disappointment that the Woeather-Man had given them, Altair Trail Rangers The Altair Trail Rangers met in the basement of Simcoe St. Church last Tuesday. The meéting opened with the usual ceremonies follow- ed by the regular business period. Badges were then discussed. An intelligence game was held follow ed by mat work and tumbling. Albion Trail Rangers At the meeting of the Alblon Group of Trall Rangers Friday evening in King St. Church, seve eral of the boys completed the work on their badges started re- cently. They are now ready to try their hand at tying knots this week which will be quite a help to them | in their camp life and other activi- ties, King St. Tuxis Boxing featured the meeting of King St. Tuxis last Friday even: ng, and a few of the bouts were quite enjoyable contests---to the spactators, The pueinecss period took the form of a discussion concerning a matter of vital importance to the square, Next I'riday evening's program was lined up and will in- clude an elimination contest. What kind? Let's go and find out, ~~. - \ §S BEDTIME A, ¥ 4 Td By Thesnlon That on the whole is rather nice. lends to life a wee, | Flip the Terrier. a | lip raced away ahead of Farmer Brown's Boy Flip just loves excitement. Thera Is no doubt about It, he just loves excitement, The more excitement the happier Flip is. When there is | no real excitement Flip pretends | and usually succeeds in getting | himself excited over nothing at | all, If he smells a Mouse you would think It was a Bear by the fuss he makes ove=. it, it Is all a part of the fun of living. When Farmer Brown's Boy goog for a walk in the Green Forest to get glimpses of the people who live | there, he leaves Flip at home, tak- ing Bowser the Hound if he takes any one, Bowser fsn't so excitable, Furthermore, that wonderful nose of his is sometimse very useful in finding out where -certaln Green Forest people have been and even where they are, So many a time Flip has dlsconsolately watched "farmer Brown's Boy and Dowser start off for the Green orest while he has had to - remain at home. So you can guess how wild with joy Flip was one afternoon when his master took him Instead of Bowser. "Flip", sald Marmer Brown's Boy, "I'm going to give you some exercise. That is whes | am going for myself, just exercise, We'll take a walk in the Green Forest. Rather, 1 will, 1 don't be- lleve you could walk if you tried." Certainly Flip didn't look at that minute as if he could. He was rac- ing about this way and that way, barking as if trying to bark his head off, while sober old Bower sat looking on in disapproval at stich a lack of dignity. Bowser may have felt hurt at being left be- hind. It so he was too proud to show it. Truth to tell, he Was rather glad to stay at home, He had had a long run after Reddy Fox that morning and he was tired. ' "I'm not so young as 1 used to be," sighed Bowser as he lay down on the doorstep. And this was quite true. Flip raced away ahead of Farm- er Brown's Boy, turning to look pack every now and then to make holding a Troop were di d by the Scout Leaders, The closing chapter of the conference I think can best be given by quoting the closing address of Col, E, 8. Digle, Commissioner of the Bordes Cit- fes, who Is a fine old man and a real Scouter, His address is as follows: "I am just 21 years old. That 1s to say that I've been just 21 years magazine this year. The commit- tee 1s very busy these days. Re- member, Acta Ludi is your maga- zine. busy and send in ma- terial.

' a scout and have had the oppor- tunity to see Scouting in every clime and under every condition and am pleased to state that here fn Ontario we have a movement that we can justly be proud of. You Scoutmasters here today go back to your various towns and cities and help build up the char- acter of the 20,000 boys under our supervision in this province. "Make use of the greatest char- acter builder that we have in our midst today--the church. If I had my own way I would make every pack, troop or crew attend church gorvice at least once u month, for the church 1s the foundation of character. Always to observe the Golden Rule of doing unto others as you would have them do un- to you and never let anyone hear | Then Flip would bark and run all you say that this or that cannot be done, for which we stand and we may expect great work to-be done by the Beouts of 1his generation, Stiek to the high {deals | W. Burgess sure his master was following, He | Investizated every stump and every fallen tree and every bush and very heap of brush along the | way, always hoping he would find | ome one he could chase, It was a crt of game and Farmer Brown's | Boy took part by urglpg him on, | just to see how excited Flip would would get. "Hunt him out! hunt him out!" Boy would urge sniff at a little That's the boy, Farmer Brown's as Flip would heap of brush, around that heap of brush and try to crawl under it and become as axefted as if some one was hiding | in there, when all the time there was no one at all, So at last they came in sight of the big brush pile where Peter Iabbit had escaped from Yowler the Bobcat, When he saw that biz pile Flip became more excited than ever, If that were possible. Who might he not find under that? He raced ahead of his master and prosently was sniffing around the | edge of the brush | "You ought to find one of Peter Rabbit's relatives under that big pile," cried Farmer Brown's Boy as Flip disappeared around one end. A moment later he added: "1 guess you did, Hunt him out old fellow! Hunt him out." 1t was clear that I'lip had found | gome one or something, He had | barked excitedly before, but that | wag nothing to the way lhe was barking now. The other barking had been make-believe excitement This was real excitement, Farmer Brown's Boy recognized It at once He had no doubt at all that Flip has discovered a Rabbit or a Hare, He was barking as If his life de- pended on It, and such excitement ax there was in it! Farmer Brown's Boy laughed aloud, Then into Flip's volce crept uu new note. His barking sounded even more excited, if that were possible, but there was also a note of fear, or so it seemed to Farm- er Brown's Boy. He began to run in order to sec what it was all about.

They were Simon Peter, and Andrew, his brother. Before Jesus died, he ordered his apostles to keep on preaching about him to all the world. An. drew went away up on the shores of the Black Sea and preached, and there was put to death. Before Andrew was put to death he was granted one wish, He ask- ed that he be crucified ona differ ent kind of cross to Jesus, as he felt he was not worthy of the same kind as his Master, So he was cricified on a. diagonal cross, Russia claims Andrew as their patron saint, because he was the first Christian missionary to their country, In later years a monk came from far away to get the bones of An drew, to carry them away to be buried in some Christian land. He obtained the remains, and put them in a box and set sail. A terrible storm came up, and the ship was tossed about many days, and at last it went all to ploces, and everyone on board was lost except the monk. He, still carrying his precious box of suciva bones, was cast up -on a rocky shore of an unknown land. When the monk regained ¢on- iclousness, he said that God had surely sent him there, and so he stayed. He buried Andrew's body and started to preach to the wild people, that he found there. He tried to build a small church too. The king and the people were following the Druids, but they did not find that religion worth much. So the king went to the monk and wid: "I will make a bargain with this god of yours: if he will give me victory over my enemies, I will turn to your religion." But the monk sald: "My God does not make bargains with people." However, the king said he would keep nis word, The next day the battle raged long and furious, and when night came it was not decided. The king went to his tent to rest, and fell asleep. He dreamed he saw a great white cross, outlined on the dark blue of the midnight sky. And this dream kept coming to him. Next day the battle continued, and before nightfall, the king was victerlous.. Then he came to the monk, with his followers and knelt down and accepted Christianity as he had promised. Later, they took Andrew as the patron saint of the wild rocky country, which was Scotland, and took for a flag the dream the king had--the white cross on the blue ground and they calléd it the cross of St. Andrew and it became Scot- land's flag. The little town where the monk buried the bones of St. Andrew {s still there in Scotland, and is called "St. Andrew" and is a very noted fishing village GLASGOW GIRLS ENGAGEMENT Glasgow.--The engagement is ane nounced between Flying Officer A.

Crime Decreased Peterboro.~Crime and lawlessness in Peterboro are shown to have suf- fered a further decrease last year by the annual report of the Police De- partment submitted by Chief Cons- table Samuel Newhall to the Police Commission. This report briefly and concisely gives complete data on all It shows that 48 fewer cases were dealt with in Police Court last year than in the preceding year.

One of the Oshawa Guiders re- ports having seep a robin two weeks ago! Has a Guide been as keen-eyed yet? Two Guides of 2nd company spent a morning out early looking for things, und report having seen several chipping sparrows, The fat little woozy buds of the cottonwood (one of the poplar fam. ily) are out, and the sticky, shiny, fragrant buds of the balm of gilead (another of the poplars) are jus. ready to burst. Have YOU geen them yet? Loyalty "A Guide is loyal." This Is tne second part of the Law, To be loyal to anyone or any thing means to be true to it, to stick up for it through thick and in. There are many loyalties in thin world, and some of them seem to conflict, The first loyalty must al- ways be to God: to your highest ideals; to one's better gelf. If any other loyalty seems to interfere with that big ore, then the other one must be put aside for that time, One owes loyalty to those who are put into authority, A school usually calls for loyal support, and everyone enjoys cheering their own team to victary. To be loyal to a friend goes with- out saying. else what were the use of being a friend. One's very own iulde patrol and company as well ag the whole Guide movement should bring out the strongest loy- alty in every Guide, Be loyal to your God and your ideals. Be true to your parents and your friends. Stick up for your company, Be a good loyal Guide! From Far Away In Switzerland, the Girl Guides are called "Eclaireuses" in that part nearest the French border, and are called "Pfadfinderinnen" in the section closer to the German frontier. The headquarters is in Geneva, that great centre for all the world peace movements, There are Brownies, Guides and Rangers. in this tiny republic away up among the mountains numbering 2,600. The Swiss Guldes are some of the best singers of all the good ones, and their "Chalet song" has been translated into many other languages and {is a favorite at campfires all over the world. An International Peace Chalet has been opened in Switzerland up in the Alps, thanks to the kindness of Mrs. Storrow, an American Girl Scout leader, and there Girl Guides from all over the world will find a place that they may call "home" and be welcome. Many companies of Guides from the British Isles go across there for a holiday in the winter for skiing. Let us hope that some Oshawa Guide may some day visit the World Chalet, Your school and rooms. Church on Wednesday evening af 7 p.m. There was a good attend: ance, and the meeting was most successful, Robins won the point for the best patrol, and they deserved it. 9 Guides were present, all in uni- form, and all on time. Mary An. drews, the leader, is to be congra- tulated on her smart patrol. Yvonne Yourth was awarded the point for the neatest Guide on the floor. Ruth Bridges passed the Morse test, and is a step nearer her first class, The Child Nurse Group received their final lecture by Mrs. Spinks and the examination is on Satu. day in the Council Chambers at 2 p.m, Good Luck Guides. Next week the Guides meet at 7 p.m. in Christ Church. Be on time, and don't forget the punctu- ality and neatness points. SRD OSHAWA It was with all . due ceremony that another recruit was enrolled as a Guide of 8rd Company last night, In charge of the enroll ment of Ella Baldwin, was Mrs, Ratcliffe, And still the company increases its numbers. Honor was brought to the com- pany as well as to Joan Schofield,' patrol leader of the Dandelions, when she received her Second Class Badge last night. Joan is the first Second Class Guide in drd Com- pany. It certainly was a pleasant sure price to find the Company's own cupboard at the rooms when evefy- body arrived last night! This fine and most useful cupboard, made by the District Captain, herself, is fashioned of new smoothly planed wood with shelves and compart. ments in it for everything the Guides use from week, and since ft fastens with a padlock, everything may be left in safety. tourt of Honor for 3rd Company is to be held on Monday afternoon at four fifteen o'clock atdathe Cluk 4th OSHAWA The Patrol names chosen since lass meeting were reported: Patrol J--Bluebirds, Patrol 1I----Scarlet Tag + Patrol 1IT--Oriole. Patrol 1V--~Humingbird, The Bluebird Patrol has the hon our of being the first to record a bird on the bird chart. A lively and friendly discussion took place as to the colours of tha tics to be worn with the uniforms. Green and red were favourites but the final decision was left till next week, The fisherman's knot was taught after which games were played. Miss Biggs explained the composition of the union and told a legend, Country dancing was conducted by Miss Smith after which Miss Werry, the captain, took charge of the Pow wow during which Mrs. Ratcliffe taught a Polish Guide song which the girls thoroughly enjoyed.
