Contributions to this column will be welcomed, and should be Times office not morning each week. Scout Notes Only one more week to go be- fore the Signalling Competition. Have you prepared yourself properly? . The competitions will be based on First Class Signalling as laid down in the handbood. We had a lovely time in Thist- letown last Saturday, despite the fact that the weather was bad, snd we arrived a little too late for the triumphal march into the hos- pital grounds. The Sea Scouts looked "snappy" fn their uniforms, and we must say we prefer the shorts and the blue Scout shirts to the nautical attire. The children at the Hospital nearly lost the tops of their heads; their grins were so expansive. The sem:iphore demonstration given by the Sea Scouts was good, and it was overheard after, that the morse signaling demonstra- tion by the 5th Troop was speed- ed up considerable by the that those sending the message felt cold. Im fact we hear that it was fortunate that somebody who kpew what the message was, was present to help the fellows doing the reading, because the me e came over so fast. Ice cream, cake and 'ginger ale after the Jamboree were not quite in-keeping with the weather hut they disappeared just the same. And so did a coaconut which made a number of'the boys feel a little grogsy. The 5th Troop is holding a week-end camp this week-end for the purpose of planting some trees on the farm of Mr. Chant. At their own request, several of the members of the th Sea Scout Treop will accompany them on the trip, and help with the work. The mew bows and arrows art to be tried at this camp, and a! large fleld will be selected for the first attempt. How is the artificial respiration coming along? Every Scout should more | fact | sent to the later than Tuesday know how it is done by this time. Mr. La Trobe of the Safety Lea- que will be present to give a lec- ture and demonstration, illustrat- ed wjth moving pictures, on Thursday, June 4. He assures us that the moving pictures will be different to those shewn in the schools during his visit, : The Kite Flying Coniest has been postponed until Saturday May 13, in order to give boys who are not Scouts an opportunity to prepare their kites, Get busy everybody and be ready on the proper day.

There are very pleasant rumors circulating of a surprise that is to come to 4th troop. No one knows how the secret got out, but the troops hopes it will 'come off" soon. 4th Cubs Cubs are turning out in large numbers every Friday evening, and the pack can compare favor- ably with any other in town, Something special is to happen at the next meeting Friday at Rotary Hall, so every cub be sure to be there, | Wolf Cub Pack The seventh cub pack will meet [in St. George's Parish Hall, Centre | street, on Friday, May 22nd, at 6.30 pm.

TO TAKE CHARGE (By The Canadian Press) Kamsack, Sask., May 22,--Miss Tolstoy, daughter of Court Leo Tolstoy, famous Russion novelist, it successful in gaining entry in- to Canada will take charge of the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood libraries at Veregin, Sask., and Brilliant, B.C., accord- ing to W. W. Kazakoff, general manager of the Doukhobor sect here recently. Japanese despatches had stated that Miss Tolstoy, now domiciled in Tokyo pending negotiations with Canadian immigration au thorities for entry into the Do- minion, would edit the newspaper of the Doukhobors. Community Doukhobors have no recognized organ, Mr, Kazakoff explained, and have never contem- plated entering the newspaper, field. i Community libraries at Veregin, | where Peter Veregin, the sect | leader, makes: his home, house | An economieal, wall finish ALPAMUR the famous flat finish for walls and cause it is so easy to apply that a little goes a long way.

Nels Lougheed, minister of lands and for many years pro- minent as a logger in this prov- ince. "If our export trade in Douglas fir continues to expand as it has in recent years, the doom of the big trees will be even earlier," Mr. Lougheed predicted, adding that fifteen years was probably not a too liberal estimate. Mr. Lougheed stated that plans were being considered to expand the export trade in hemlock, ce dar and pine, by interesting for- eign timber buyers in varieties which can satisfactorily replace Douglas fir. "The Conservation Committee of 1912 estimated the annual growth of timber at 5,000,000,000 feet. There could not be a more misleading statement. A forest grows to, maturity: and stands there. It may stand for 1,000,- 000 years but there would be no increase in the hoard measure ment available after the maximum capacity of the soil has been at- tained," he pointed out. "We need trade extension te prolong the life of our stand of Douglas fir. If we can push hem- lock into the foreign market we can extend the life of our Douglas Fir reserves. There is nothing surer than that these Douglas fir forests are going to disappear un. less we push other woods into consumption," he warned, UNITED CHURCH STRESSES (By The Canadian Press) Toronto, Ont.,, May 22.--Rev, Dr, E. W. Wallace, Chancellor of Victoria University, Toronto, late socretary of the China Christian Educational Association, will pre- gide as chairman at the meeting of the United Churche's religious education executive here on May 11 and 12. In the executive's jur- fsdiction are 5,656 Sunday schools with 62,000 officers and teachers and a total membership of 640, 000. The constituency includes 838 organizations for juniors, 2,228 for girls, 1,846 for boys, 2,366 for young people and 470 for adults, entisting 187,000 per- sons in midweek activities. Introduction of the Canadian series of graded lessons during the year into many schools has led to an increase of 52,000 copies of graded courses used. Christian doctrines, biblical knowledge, mis- temperance, internatianal peace, ideals of fair play in the industrial order, and studies in church membership and church history belong to the course. Cir- culation of graded helps 'is now 212,000 annually, as compared with 159,000 a year when import. ed lessons were still in use. Issue of 10,718 certificates to teachers and prospective teachers in 1930 marks the subjects passed in the standard training course for leaders, A rapid increase in certificates began with the issue of 1,695 certificates in 1924. Stronger provision for training in- structors who are in turn to teach the standard course is one of the important pieces of legis- lation to come before the execu- tive. Consideration of future devel- lines will follow a recent increase in the number of young people en- rolled in societies. Thete are 13% new societies and the member- ship has grown from 73,000 this year, while people are taking the lead in drafting the year's pro- gramme for 1932. The secretary, Rev. Frank Langford, D.D., will report that 16,188 Sunday school folk, "five times as many as at Pentecost." entered into full communion with the Church during the year. Churches holding catechumen: or church membership classes 'have increased from 1,226 to 1,285, Junior congregations now number 369, with 20,000 boys and girls attending. The following are on the exe cutive: Revs. P. N, Gaven, Mon- treal; H, B. Neal, Belleville; D. H. Gallagher, Niagara Falls; C. W. DeMille, Stratford, W. J. Pres. ton, Chatham; ¥F. W. Langford. C. A. Myers and Manson le, Toronto: Miss W. Thomas and Dr. H. N. Wilkinson, Toronto. I Church Farade On_Sunday morning, May 24th, the Girl Guides of Oshawa district attend church together, for their annual service, that is observed by all the Guides in Canada. Athlete's Badge Registrations for the test for the Athlete's badge closed Wednesday. Seven Guides are trying for it. The test will be carried out on Satur- day Jomning, May 30th, in Alexan- dra Park. iss Runnels, the phy- sical training instructor of the col- legiate will be the examiner. Summer Camps The first Guide to register for the camp was Mabel Raike of 2nd Osh- awa, and the second was Jean Jar- rell of 3rd company. The swimming supervisor for the Niagara Camp 1s Miss Ruth Grain- ger of Hamilton. Miss Grainger is a student at McMaster University, where she received two scholarships this year, ~ Miss Ethel Ngble, the Naturalist for the camp, is a fifth year medical student at the Univer- sity of Toronto, The application forms for the Clear Lake camp are now out, and by the number of Guides who have asked for one, it looks as if there would be a record number for that camp too. Some Guides were dis- appointed at not getting to the Nia- ara one, but there will be joys at lear Lake camp that these who go to Niagara will not have at all. Garden Rally The tickets tor the Rally are sell- ing so well that it is possible the number admitted may be limited to ticket holders only. Al the companies are working well on their parts in the program, Different from last year--every company takes part in every num- ber,--~there are no specialities. The singing will include the Camp Hymn--"God. who touchest earth with beauty." This was written by Miss Mary Edgar, who for many years was a most enthusiastic Girl Guide, and who now runs a beauti- ful big girls' camp on Lake Bern- ard, for which camp the hymn was written specially. 1st Oshawa Mrs. Lee who is to be pianist for the Garden Rally atendeqd the last meeting of 1st Oshawa to play for the practicing of the dances and the songs. The Guides are reminded of the church parade on Sunday, May 24th and are asked to be at the corner of Hilleroft and Simcoe Streets at 10.30 o'clock sharp Sun- day morning. Second Oshawa The beautiful silk Union Jack be- longing to 2nd Oshawa, which was presented to them by a troop of American Girl Scouts, and which was dedicated at last year's church Girl Guide News ™N service, will be the flag that will go with the Girl Guides to their annual church parade this Sunday at Christ Church at 11 am. Owing to the must festival, many of the younger Guides were not at the meeting on Wednesday night, but still there was an attendance of 21, which was considered good. The first aid and signalling squads got in considerable practice, and danc- ing and singing were enjoyed. The Guides will all be sorry to learn that Mrs. Hicks' father is seriously ill in Picton, where they now live at "Woodland Place." The kind thoughts of the company will be with their former captain in her anxiety, 3rd Oshawa Third Company had their first chance to practice the dance "Gath- ering Peascods", out-of-doors yes- tepday afternoon when the regular weekly meeting was held between the hours of four thirty and six instead of at the usual time seven o'clock, This was for the conven- ience of those girls who were sing- ing in the Music Festival The dance is coming along much better but a few more practices on the lawn will be necessary before the Garden Rally. Getting into proper positions for the march took sometime. Mrs, Ratcliffe put the girls through a drill to teach them the correct way to form "fours" and "two deep". 4th Oshawa At this week's meeting 4th Co. practised marching. The girls who were chosen for signalling were busy learning their code. Mrs. Ratcliffe was present to see how preparations for the Garden Rally are progressing. Miss Biggs and Miss Smith had the remainder of the girls review. ing knots and wooderaft signs. They know them very well, Of course there were games and dancing, which all enjoy very much. SEA RANGERS Last evening there was an- other enrolment ceremony after the skipper and crew of the Mar- co Polo had had a long chat about ships. Some of the crew earned stars on the chart for splicing ropes, Not much time was spent on the Ballor's Horn- pipe because they know it so well now. Miss Robertson took the signal- ling to musie this time and judging by the rythm the Sema- phore code will soon be complete- ly mastered. The last part of the meeting was spent discussing camp and singing Sea Chanteys. Canadian Girls in Training Pathfinders----King St. Church It some of the early birds who live up north, happened to be awake about 5.30 last Saturday morning, they might have heard strange sounds. The noises were caused by a merry group of girls assembling . at North Simcoe St. School. Laden with lunch boxes and 'sweaters we began our jour- ney along the tracks. In a short while we reached our destina- tion, There was something lack- ing! Not our spirite-- for the girls were laughing and chatter ing like magpies, It was plain to see that none of them had "got- ten out of the wrong side of the bed." It was not their appetites ~--for we were hungry enough to eat a horse. It was the main mis- sion of our hike that was lack- ing--the sun. But that didn't bother too much, Of course we couldn't use the beautiful sun- rise service that we had prepared, We had "morning watch" for ten minutes (you old campers will know what that is) and then we assembled for breakfast, And what a breakfast! Of course there were minor accidents such as matches that wouldn't light and wood that wouldn't burn, but the biggest joke of all was & ther mos bottle brought without a cork. We don't think Doris will ever be allowed to forget that! And then to cap it all] a red squirrel scolded us all during breakfast, just as if we shouldn't have the privilege of having breakfast in his house. However, it all ended happily and some girls found out that after all you tan have a successful sunrise hike without the sum, Last Girls' Council The final meeting of the Girl's Council was. held on Friday last at Grierson's Woods. The day and the distance lent themselves to a satis- fring e satisfying were the hot dogs and coffee and banan- as, would need to be. They followed a very strenuous part of a strenuous day; group games for ou which Ira Gerrow so care- fully syccessiully directed; and it was by some that the food did' not fi any tqo soon. But accidents will happen--and the stay- ing power of appetite is very great, Hunger appeased, nature seemed very beautiful. It formed a halo around the announcements of sum- mer camps; the worship service and fire-lighting ceremony made you feel you were there already; and the glowing address by Miss May- owna radiated a warmth and fellow- ship that filled in with camp mem- ories and camp anticipations. But Miss Mayowna's remarks were more than that. She was not talking of camp. Her's was a bigger problem. She told of her experi- ences as a nurse Juring the Great ar. She showed us how fortun- ate we have been in Canada. She pictured the desolateness of war- ridden Europe; she indicated with a slight gesture the beauty of Can« ada. She showed the innocence of many for and the hatred of many of the war into which the world had been drawn; and implored us to be on the look-out lest we too et drawn in. It was a talk full of interest, full of understanding. and it carried with it--forty girls. - So ended Girls Council for an- other year, most emphatically for another year, by the vote which de- cided it should be carried on--So anon! oe Camp Dates 'Intermediate Camp dates are Au- st 15th--22nd.
