Remember the date of the Inter- Troop competition which is fast approaching. ®° The following article is taken 'rom the "Children's Newspaper" ' /nd shows us that the Scouting pirit exists in other countries than ur own. | "A Hungary correspondent who keenly interested in the Boy eout movement, sends us a fine tory of Scout work in that land. ' It was told to him by a Scout- 'master from the Hungarian Plain Who had (ome to the capital, 120 miles to attend a conference of " Scoutmasters, When asked if his Scouts lad Bn to camp in the summer the country Scoutmaster sald 'Not gu ."* And then he explained t leave was hard to get and money scanty in these hard times, 80 camping was difficult, as meny their Scouts were apprentices. owever, he said, they found good 'work to do. Near by were war cripples, who had a little land of their own, . mostly growing wheat. Some 'could not reap it themselvls or afford help. = So, instead of camping, the . Scouts decided that in their holi- days and by the eniployers letting \. off each boy one day from his or- dinary work they would harvest the crops of the cripples. They tackled the work as if it "were sport, Nome of them had ever reaped before, but by the time they were finishing the third crop 'they found they were able to do more work than the experienced peasants. The first cripple had lost both 'his legs in the war, yet had begun to cut Dis wheat. When fin- ished for him, he said: "God bless you for it! But T ean hardly 'believe it ig not a dream," The second cripple had become 80 embittered by his own inability to harvest his crop that he threat- ened to burn it down, but their completion of the task left him "at rest with Providence." The third was a war widow in poor health who was agitated by the fear that the wheat would be overripe and fall out of the heads. On going out and it already harvested, she cried with joy, - So the good turns of Scouts find way around the world." While the local Scouts are not . perhaps blessed with oppor'unities Of this kind as a means of doing hic bit, there are many ways in ; Te they can help if they keep E the outlook for the chance. he 5th and 7th Troops met usual on Friday last, and hav- ing regard to the extra work going on in preparation for the examin- ations of this week, spent the even- ing playing games. The new recruits, however, touk the usual Tenderfoot instruction During the evening, the shield which has been the bone of con- ation for the last six months, about which there has been e reasonable doubt with re- ds to the winner, was definitely rded to the Ravens, who were considered to be in the running the points were averaged. ~The next competition will be tirely on the merits of the var- patrols, since they are now of the same strength, and no points will be averaged. Some of the Wolf Cubs and one of the Scouts brought down bira houses, which were displayed te the Troop. A number of boys have started making fire bows and thongs have been procured by the Troop for those who need them.

Seventh Wolf Cub Pack Last week saw the Seventh Pack off to a good start in their bird house building competition and keen rivalry is quite apparent. The pack also listened to the first of a series of stories from Kip- ling's "Just So, Stories" and 'The Jungle Books." §.M, Terrett told the story of how the camel got his hump. This week several of the Cubs who have passed their Ten- derpad, will be invested, The Sev- enth Pack will meet in St. George's Parish Hall, Centre street, on Fri- day, March 27th, at 6.30 p.m. The Sixers' Council will meet immedi- ately after the general pack meet- ng. Young men and women of the Maritime Provinces are attending college in increasing numbers. Re- cent' survey of registrations at the nine largest universities in the At- lantfs Provinces shows that attens dance has grown by more than 500 in the last three years, this without reference to the Maritime students attending colleges in other sections of Canada and in the United States. It is estimated by poultry experts that at least 80,000,000 chicks will be required to meet the 1931 de- mand in Canada. These will come from a variety of sources but the most important will be the Approv- ed Hatcheries operating under fed- eral supervision. So far a total of 108 commercial hatcheries with a total egg capacity of nearly million eggs have entered under the Hatchery Approved Policy. MATCHLESS FLAVOR by the bowlful!

Two Important Birthdays . It is interesting to note that the month of March sees the birthday of two of the greatest and best be- loved illustrators of children's books, Kate Greenaway, March 17, 1846 and Randolph Caldecott, March 22, 1846, Kate Greenaway's father was a well-known wood engraver and draughtsman and she took the great- est interest in this work. As a little girl she spent FLlighttol days at a farm in Nottinghamshire, Color and clothes always interested her, and here she saw quaint old-fashioned garb still surviving in an out-of-the- way spot of prosperous farms, Flow- ers of the wood and field and garden as well as children, were her great delight, so that when she began to produce Christmas cards they were full of dainty originality, and later, in her nicture books and almanacs, she drew upon these things. Little folk dearly love her books and her name was as well known in Europe as Millars, Leighton, Watts and Walter Crane. A child's library would not seem complete without some of lier books :--"An Apple Pit," "Mother Goose," "Marigold Garden", "Under the Window," "Pied Piper of Hame- lin, Simplicity, gayety, kindness and humor shine in Caldecott's Picture books." You see too that the artist loved the life of the country side and farm, He was fond of animals, par- ticularly horses, In addition to illus- trating magazines and books he made friezes and panels for wall decora- tion and modelled in clay. Little children delight in his amus- ing drama of birds and animals, jolly farmers and milkmaids, fine ladies and little children and many conquer their early distaste for print. We have "John Gilpin," "House that Jack Built," "Babes in the Woods," "The Milk Maid--and others." Concerning Everyhody St. Andrews girls have ban very busy planning costumes for the League of Nations playlet they are going to use at the next Vocational, which will be on March 31st. St. Andrews at 7.30. The Fidelis group are the instigators of all this, and they are hoping to have 300 girls out next Tuesday night--not of course for the purpose of seeing them per- form, but just because they know that Miss Marjorie Trotter, principal of Moulton College, Toronto, is go- ing to talk on "Vocations we use in order to educate people." She will be interesting because she has been as- sociated with girls "toute sa vie"-- comprenez? The city of Toronto, Ontario, second largest in Canada, is now approching a million in population, recent census showed greater Tor- onto to have a population of 850, 000, an increase of more than 24, 000 in one year.

It. is a beret hat and comes in black to match the rest of the official Habite, On the left hand side appears the Trail Ranger Emblem, embroider- ed in silk on a cardinal back- ground of felt, The proper way to wear the hat is with the right side pulled down over the side of the head. Because of its natty appearance and serviceable nature this new hat will undoubtedly en- joy wide spread use throughout the province. When ordering be sure to state size, The cost is 705c. Provincial Camp Dates Set Beausoleflites and Mentors across the province will be inter- ested to learn that the provincial camp for mentors and leaders of 'teen age boys will be held from August 1st to 10th at Beausoleil Island, Georgian Bay. Training Camps for older boys will be promoted by the board of Beau Rivage Island, near Ganan- oque, for Eastern Ontario from July 6th to 16th, and at, Lake Scugog for Central Ontario from June 27th to July 4th. A splendid line up of versatile leaders in all departments of camp life is now being secured. District Camps This is the time for Local Boards to make their plans and secure thelr leaders for this year's camp, With practically thirty dis trict camps and over 2000 boys in attendance last year proved to be the best in history. Clean Up In April April means 'clean up' to C.S. E.T. boys. With the dirt and grime of the winter months laying around and nature radiant with new life who wouldn't want to co-operate with the forces that make for beauty and growth, A group of Trail Rangers in a small mining town in British Columbia caught this spirit when they observed that their town had a number of old dilapidated shacks and some vacant lots that were covered with debris, the leftovers from more populous and prosperous days and decided they could improve mat. ters. They set to work on an ex- tended campaign to clean things up. It took them several weeks, working hard every day after school 'and on Saturdays, but fin- ally the job was completed, Tot- tering shacks had been torn down, vacant lots had hosn cleaned, the useful lumber had been stacked and best of all: there remained n lot of useless lumber with which they enjoyed a monster bonfire. King St. Tuxis The King St. Tuxjs held their regular meeting Friday evening which was in the form eof an in- tiation. Three new members werc welcomed into the Square: Gor- don Wilson, Douglas Mackie and Basil Long. Business followed the initiation. Several of the fellows gave some dope on the new sweat- ers. It was also decided not to hold a meeting tonight on account of the Carnival at the Arena, Dur- ing the last week or so the boys have been having a few friendly games of hockey. First playing with the Benedicts the score being 3-2 for the boys, and then playing the Oshawa Wholesale, the score being 8-2, another win for the boys. Keep it up gang you're doing fine. Albion Trail Rangers The Albions met on Friday evening, sixteen being present. After an interesting time In group study, all groups met to- gether for worship service. FO, CNL LIBRARY NOTES Rea Ar )__'Recti Cultus Pectora Roborant." NOTES OF THE WEEK The Burroughs' Club did not meet last ' Friday "because of the Easter Examinations. The next meeting is scheduled for Friday, April 17th. From Easter till midsummer the story of the world's literature will the general theme of library scienre lessons. The librarian's last lecture was entitled "The Mysterious East" It dealt with the literature of Asiatic countries -- China, Japan, | 1d | class may not be disturbed by visitors India, Persia. The mext lecture in the series will deal with Jewish liter- ature, The Library Council will assemble next Thursday afternoon at the close of school. "Procedure" will be the subject discussed. If the weather permits, the Junior Bird Club will hold a field excursion tomorrow afternoon. The regular meeting was held today. Miss Jean Merchant, Librarian of Toronto Normal School, and students of the Ontario Library School, Coll. ege of Education, will pay us a visit shortly, Many other interesting things have been happening about which we ought to write, but space limitations forbid their mention today. We hope to catch up during Easter Holidays, During the past two weeks we have printed papers on school libraries by Irvin Merrick and Gerald Solmes of 1D. Today James Law writes on the same subject: Future contributors include George Wilson and Rene Gillette. SCHOOL LIBRARIES (By James Law, 1D) The United States is noted for its beautiful and well-equipped school libraries. They are an inspiration to the book lover who may spend a pleasant and interesting half hour in- dulging in useful work. One may learn a great deal from a well-chosen book, but our theme is not books but the home of books. Some of the larger school libraries seat two hun- dred students in their main reading- room, In most libraries the lecture room is set apart from the other rooms, so that the librarian and his I'o advertise books, plays are made up by the students of the school I'hese plays help greatly to convey the real meaning of the book to the mind, We must = remeinber, how- ever, that not every school possesses a fine library, Some of the less den- scly populated sections are just be- ginning their collection, and it is a fine thing to know that parents are taking a great interest in the busi- ness of promoting a library. In places where it is almost im- possible to have a library, the schools receive a visit from a "bookmobile," which is, in reality,a travelling lib- rary, The bookmobile is a truck fit- ted up with shelves; its coming fills many hearts with happiness. The school children in a city can hardly realize what it must mean to be in a place where one can obtain only a very limited supply of books. Even the teachers are not forgotten, and in most libraries they can find ade- quate material tor adding to their | store of knowledge. In some of the large schools ther are many foreigners who speak English. To overcome this, a teacher is provided for each national- ity. Library instruction is an im- portant part of the work. The little tots are all taught the management of their respective libraries, | Canadian Girls in Training | Greetings to the S Some people really believe spring has come only when they can no longer skate or toboggan, some be- lieve it the first time they get the car out of the garage since the pre- vious fall, some believe it when rub- bers and goloshes are no longer nec- essary, some when for the first time they get stuck in real mud instead of in a snow-drift, some when the sap runs and they begin making maple sugar and syrup, some when they see the very first robin, some when the snowdrops peep out, some when they cook their first meal of the season out of s, and for pure contrast, some when they are lazy and want | to "sleep in", and some when they feel like getting up at dawn every morning. But in whatever manner the arrival of spring presents itself to us, it does so unfailingly every year of our lives, be it early or late or' just-in-between. Did you ever have a spring that was neither early nor late but just in-between ?--Just an ordinary spring? Sh, there we come to it! Every spring when it £otfies geil io excite 30 much intef, est, An y anything else wou not be bw of so much jas spring regularly is. No spring "when it comes appears to us as being just an ordinary spring. Every single one of them is filled with » and no time on earth is more living or more full of life than the sp a it ordinary, early or late, it is always wonderful, alluring, rascinating! No Place For Trouble Now! There certainly isn't! Lor some time now we will be packing our lit- tle kit-bags not with old, left over troubles, because we don't wapt them with us when we're Hiking, but with all kinds of eatables and other things which contribute to the never-failing success of our hiking expeditions. And we'll smile, smile, smile! Won't we, though? And we'll tramp for miles and miles, over fields and through woods, and we'll build camp- fires and cook the most delicious bacon, and beans, and pancakes, and we'll sit around and sing camp songs, We'll gather mosses and = dainty spring flowers and walk bare-footed | in marshy places to get Jack-in-the- Pulpit's and marsh-marigolds. And when all gether an the stars, wonderful times, Canadian Girls in Training! The Girl In The Home In the home the girl gets practic- ally all the activities and duties of life. The home is a world in a small sense therefore it contributes a great deal to the development of hef life. A girl's whole character and abil- ity to serve depends to a great ex- tent, upon the soundness of the body Boland a girls health is Jasgely the re- cannot | rows dark we'll talk to- | sing some more and study | Oh, we're going to have | sult of her home training. It is the mother who first sclects a girl's food, clothing and later guides her in her selections, It is the mother who determines the physical condi- tions of the home in which the girl grows up aud later has the best pos- sible chance to train her in the sani- tation laws in regard to the value of sunlight and fresh air, and in the care of the body. 'I'he training in the home also determines the girls disposition which aftects her health, The mother who can lead her daugh- ter to ste what the mother is in the home so can she lead her to see the necessity of women in the commun- iy. Who is better fitted to prepare a girl for home-making and mother- hood than her own mother? 'This preparation should not be postponed until too late, Her maturity to mar- riage, '© homemaking, and to moth- erhood has to be formed gradually, | from books and moving pictures, from the standards of people whom | she has observed, and trom the in-| struction she has received during her | childhood and girlhood. 'Therefore, | a mother should bear in mind that! from the very beginning her daugh- ter is forming her ideals of life and should make 1t 'her duty to see that they are of the right standard, If a girl is told by some one she loves and trusts what the true and high ideals of lite are she will do her best to live up to them, Nothing helps more towards mak- ing a girl womanly than taking her share of home-nursing therefore where there are younger children in the: home, she has an opportunity of observing and putting into practice the laws governing the developing of child life and to care for the weak and suffering. A girl usually shares in the work ol the home from the desire to assist her mother and results in her be- coming, quick in thought, neat, punc- tual and thorough, thus aiding her in her intellectual development, In the home a girl acquires skill in what is called Homecraft, She lcarns to do such tasks as wash dish- es, dust, make bed, bake a cake and to sew. 'Lhis leads to her taking larger responsibilities, she may be trained to plan a days menu, to preg- pare a whole meal or to do the marketing for the family, She should be given her own allowance, and gradually to the selection of her own clothes, \Whgn she has learned to plan the family budget and run it on a certain sum, She should soon be given the chance to express her tastes in her own room and gradu- ally in the selections of the furnish- ings of the home. More important than this training in definite lines is the intcllectual training that comes to a girl as a result of the discussion, conversation, and reading, A girl is therefore for= tunate when her father and mother bring into the home good books, pap- ers, magazines and discuss with their children matters of real importance, Home should be the first school of religious education, . The girl who is a Christian in her home is ready for the larger relationships of life. In the home the girl learns all the fun- damental lessons of social living, There is a spirited demand in Scotland for increased shipments of Canadian store cattle, Of the 5,000 which reached Britain during the last three months of navigation from Montreal 4,000 went to Man- chester. The cattle which came to Scotland proved eminently satisfac tory. A new Canadian 'record in the production of butter has just been made by the two-year-old Holstein heifer, Lonsdale Wayne Ormsby, bred and owned by M. L. McCarthy Sussex, N.B. This heifer, qualify- ing in the 305 day division of the R.OP. on three times a day milking, produced 19,758 pounds milk con- taining 885 pounds butter, giving her an average test of 3.68 per cent fat. -- WHEN IN TORONTO Make Your Home Hore, WAVERLEY SPADINA AVE. end COLLEGE ST, E R.

Country Dancing was enjoyed, and refresh- ments were served, -------- Camp The magic word "Camp" makes every real Guide prick up her ears and ask "where and when", Oshawa Girl Guides will have a camp this summer, and one all f their own. It is to be in the Nisfara peninsula in July for two weeks, The camp authorities for the province thought the Oshawa camp last summer was so fine, that they are making the one this pyear a '""model camp' where Guid- ini can get ideas on proper camp- ng. No Guide camps are allowed in Ountarlo, except under a licensed camper. And in order to get this license a Guider must have camp- od for two weeks in a special camp and taken intensive training In camperaft, woodcraft, nature lore, quartermastering, health and sanitation and other things. Then she must pass a test given by the Provincial Camp Advisor. Oshawa Guide camp will have attached to it this summer, a camp of 20 Guiders who are to study for their licenses. And they will do their practical work in the Oshawa Guide camp, and observe how it. is run, Miss Dora Farthing of Toronto will be in charge of the Guide camp and Mrs. Gordon Ratcliffe of Oshawa will have the training camp. The Guides of last year's camp will remember Miss Farthing, as she spent a week end at Camp Wannamucea, taking "Guide's Own" on Sunday and also taking an astronomy class, Kindness "A Guide is a friend to ani- mals", This is the sixth plirt of the Guide Law. The Bible tells us that not a sparrow falleth without the Fath- er's notice. A love for dumb ani- mals is surely following the best example that has ever been given, Very few girls are naturally cruel to animals, but a Guide should make it her very definite business to do something' that {is kind and good for them. This may tax the powers of thought a bit 80 find real active kindness, Have you a bird? See that it fs never put in a draught. Watch that its water dish is full, Have you gold fish? Sclentists tell us that goldfish have tiny nerve cells, and that they suffer intensely if put in the bright sun- light. See that your goldfish bow! Is not in the direct rays of the sun, even if it does make them shine and look pretty. It hurts! Throw out crumbs for the birds. Keep a dish of water in the hot summer for them to drink, and you will have appreciative feath- ered friends all summer, Think up ways to be kind to animals, From Far Away This week's news despatches in the daily papers carried the word of the death of Miss Susie Sorabji, the great Indian teachers. She was one of the great forces in India for improving the condition of the native girls. Miss Sorabji was a Girl Guide, and ran a large company of Guides. She belonged to a Parsee family of high caste, her people being mong the first Parsees to be con- verted to Christianity, In the notices this week this cction is of special Interest to 11 Guides: . "The heroic acts of her Girl (iuides during the recent disturb- neces in India have been among the heautiful acts of that tragic ime, They worked steadily, giv- ne ald to families whose liveli- 1wod had been cut off by the riots, "Humanity came before poll- ties in thelr service." 1st Oshawa The attendance dropped off some- what on Monday as so many of the rivls were writing examinations, ~ Peart Tubb joined the Snowball 'utrol. There will be keen competition jong the girls to see who can get the most stars on the new .charts, The new girls were taught the rl Guide N ews "Polish Guide Song" and "Green grow the Rushes" in Pow-wow. There will be no meeting next week because of Holy Week. The next meeting will be on Easter Mon- day, April 6, at 7 pm. 2nd Oshawa Second Company met on Wednes- day at 7 pm. 'There was a good attendance and those absent were mostly trying examinations. Next week we hope to get right down ta our spring programme, and with the school exams over there should be very few, if any, absent. The Bluebirds were successful in winning the 'patrol point this week, and their leader Mable Raike is te be congratulated on the: smart ap- pearance of her patrol. The neatest Guide point went to Barbara Morphy Mrs. Lee was in charge of the music for the dancing and marching which are two of the most populay features of the meeting. Mrs, Spink: took tests and quite a number of the Guides passed part of their second class, The Health badge test is. on April 11th, and those who anticipate taking It were given a few pointer; by Miss McDowell, At Pow-wow Mrs. Lee was in charge, and Yvonne Yourth was the popular choice for new librarian, Next week company meets at pm, « There will be a special lecturs on First-aid for those Guides wha are taking the first class badge. Make an effort to be be on time and don't forget the ncatness points, 3rd Oshawa Third company heard about camp last night--first hand information from the Captain, Miss Moyse. What will take place at the garden party in the first week in June was alsg explained in pow-wow, A number of the Guides whe thought they could, tried a test in signally which Joan Townsend con- ducted. gy Schofield introduced some new games, The Health talk by Miss Moyse included the laws of health that the Second Class Guides must learn, . 4th Oshawa Guide Laws were presented to us in such an interesting contest that we cannot help but know and understand them better; thanks to our Captain, Miss Werry. Just haven't our games been Jolly lately. Surely our instructress knows by our merry laughter how much we enjoyed them, Slowly, but we hope, surely, we are learning our first ald. This week it was an injured eye that needed to be bandaged, We were delighted to have Mrs. Ratcliffe with us again and we like the new dance she showed us. Do the other Guide companies have as good a story-teller ns ours? Miss Biggs tells the best stories. This week she told us of "A Lone Guide Who Was Not Lonely." We must begin to watch for wild flowers. One of our teachers made us a chart, Who will be the first to find a wild flower and bring in the specimen? We wish to express our appreci~ ation to Mrs. Devonport and Mrs. McKay who have cut out our uni- forms and to our mothers for mak- ing them for us, The Home and School Club are always ready to help us." A Fourth Company Recruit. Sea Rangers Miss Ross, the Skinner and four of the Sea Rangers, Mabel Carpenter, Freda Spencer, Nora Herd and Mabel Copeland, attended the pro- vinicial Ranger conference in Toronto Itst Saturday, Next week there will be an enrol ment period when the patrol leaders will be invested as Rangers of the Good Ship, "Marco Polo", There will be several new recruits, as now that night classes at the Technical school are over some of the who have been waiting to join will be able to do so.
