URDAY, APRIL 24, 1948 ~~ PAGE THREE 4 THE DAILY TIMESSGAZETTE 4' foresees England As Progressing On To Greater Things There is no more glorious history in the world than that Fngland, said A. E. O'Neill as he described that country as "the weary Titan." The Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Institute principal was guest speaker last night at the annual "+ George's Day dinner at St. George's 'Parish Hall. &- O'Neill made it clear bef ning his address that opinions ot facts were to be voiced. He ed his title from, "Heine's 4" by Matthew Arnold. -aking about England rather Great Britain as a whole, Mr. dl said, "She was the héart :entre of that civilization which and has had an influence on wld which no race can equal." ted out that England con- a greater variety of bloods vas generally considered.

At one time, the speaker ssed, he used to think what a le thing to be a person born country which was not the st mower in the world. Mr. d he was not a citizen of a «st now, but of "one that er. supplanted." He found tion, he went on, in that one 0 other nation could dupli- land's great past. ¢ compared the growth of a na- nn with the growth of a human ing. England had reached the ak of her maturity and was wing weary, he said. But even if + lost the power which grew with : years, she had made a contri- 'on to life. He emphasized: "No ion can go out and save the Id twice and not be weary, not ld, not be broken." ' wing that new Canadians were ging with them "a feeling of ure', Mr. O'Neill went on to gest that "the other forces at k on us" could be offset by keep- up that close relationship be- } 4 'un the traditional England of the past and the present. "I do not see how England can recover," he observed, "with his- tory, geography and economics nst her, but she can still be a Tee for human betterment in the orld.' Ceasing to be a great mili- wry power, she will set a moral ex- » and keep those ideals of hu- progress ever before mankind. e speaker said when he looked , the movement of history he ps red the globe described by a scholar as only a drop of mud re- volving around a bubble of gas. As far as was known, he said, "we are the only human beings in this great universe." He believed that man was going to aspire and go on to ;ater things and though noi in tirhe, he wanted to feel that he ributed something to that goal sh lay ahead.

Recital Will Assist Organ Fund The British Organ Restoration Fund, which is being brought be- fore the people of Oshawa and dis- triet in connection with the forth- coming visit of Dr. Healey Willan and Choir of St. Mary Magdalene under the auspices of the local centre, Canadian College of Or- ganists, is already known to many, since previous efforts have been made by individual Oshawa organ- ists in connection with this fund. The aim of this project is to place in the new Coventry Cathed- ral an organ worthy of the digni- fied and impressive edifice now be- ing planned--the gift of the Ca- nadian College of Organists. Coventry Cathedral, together with much of the centre of the city comprising the old historic part, was razed during the deva- stating raid of the night November 14, 1040. The tinguished tower (date about 1378) and spire (1433) of the Cathedral--for centuries Coven- try's outstanding landmark--re- mains virtually unharmed, and the shell of the outer walls was left after the fire had burnt out, but the latter has since been pronounced unsafe, for rebuilding, otherwise the whole structure was a total loss. Two days later His Majesty the King visited Coventry and stood within the ruins of the Cathedral. The British Organ Restoration Fund was started in 1943 from a feeling of sincere sympathy on the part of the members of the Canadian College of Organists for the British people who had suffer- ed so many hardships and inestim- able losses. Dr. Healey Willan was at the forefront of the suggestion that an effort be undertaken by the C.C.0. to finance the rebuilding of {an organ in England whi¢h had | been destroyed by enemy action. | The College Convention of that | vear passed a resolution to this! effect and appointed a group of | trustees to look after the funds. | The next year and objective of | $50,000 was set as the goal.

Only two weeks ago they appeared as the featured choir on a coast to coast CBC hook-up, and this was only one of many such oc- casions. They have acquired a dis- tinctive style, which distinguishes them from. other groups specializing In sacred music. With all the flexi- ble fluency of a modern symphony orchestra; shades of light and heavy, coupled with a perfect read- ing of harmonics and' dynamics, make their singing a delightful and exciting experience. Consisting of some 40 voices, they produce a well rounded and bal- anced choir, Directing them will be Phil Gardiner, well known Toronto soloist and teacher. Assosiated are some distinguisk soloists; who will be heard in fou numbers dur- ing their 1 appearances. The Songsters will be featured in ia choral festival to commence at 3.30 p.m. They will also be heard at the regular services at 11 a.m. and 7.00 pm. as well as in the Vesper hour starting ah 8.30 p.m. Clocks Move On At Midnight Hour Toronto, April 24--(CP)--To- day's the day and midnight's the hour when many Canadians shove the hands of th clock an hour ahead to mark the beginning of daylight saving time.

Chair-| man. for the evening was Walter | Buss. i District Commissionér J. Harold | Bateman introduced Mr. Harwood ' as a man who had taken up bank-! | ing as a career with scouting as a | hobby initially. Mr. Bateman ex- | plained that Mr. Harwood became | | so proficient in his hobby, .that he! North Toronto {left the banking business and ayo! Leader Ken Fisher, the Fire- of | splendid future to follow scouting. | Commissioner Bateman stated that | Field Commissioner Harwood was a specialist «in scouting, and had the | great organization, in principles and ! program. Stresses Self-Reliance | Commissioner Harwood, - in the text of his address which was il-' lustrated with many interesting | tales, emphasized the importance that scouting places on the 'self- reliance of the boy. He.described | to the parents an overnight camp- ing hike taken by the scout and his buddy in which the boys were far from anyone and where self- reliance and the boy's ingenuity counted most., Turning from this interesting topic, Mr. Harwood con- tinued on a slightly different theme. He told of a boy named John Sum- mers, who lived in. Northern On- tario. John was a cripple - from, birth but, when he reached the age. of 12, decided to become a scout. This he did. He passed the neces- sary requirements for his Tender- foot and Second Class work, doing most of the active work with the aid of a home-built wagon, which he propelled along with his hands. But in the First Class requirements came the stumbling block. One of the test: requirements was .a state- ment--""must be able to swim 50 yards." The Scoutmaster, in. care=- ful consideration of his infirmity, suggested that John try an easler badge, in place of this difficult test. But .John, true to the ideals laid down in scouting, asked the Scout- master, "Do you want me to be a true First Class Scout? If so, I must pass this test." For the next few months he tried to learn how to float in the harbor. Each day he would propel himself to the dock, and let himself down with the aid of a length of rope into the water, where he would struggle to keep himself afloat, even though his legs dangled helplessly below him. Threugh persistence he succeeded in keeping himself afloat, Then, with the same perseverance, he learned how to use his arms thus moving himself through the the Scoutmaster In attendance the waters. On a very special day, with test took place. Needless to say, to the great' joy of the Scout- master, and the satisfaction of John Summers, he passed with flying colors. Mr. Harwood told a-=happy ending to the tale, by saying that this brave Scout is now in Toronto, having his legs treated and strengthened so that he may walk again. Commissioner Harwood ask- ed the boys to become proficient in everything that Scouting taught through its test work, even though the test might be very difficult, Confers "White Elk" Title It was at this time that Com- missioner Ted Robinson and with Ted's Patrol Leadeis etonned around 0 him, Field C mmissjoner doseniy | of the group. Illustrating his talk with a story, Scouter Houlden em- phasizeq the spirit part of the Scout movement. "Without {his spirit," 'he said, "Scouting becomes a little lifeless." Presentation of Badges The presentation of badges was a major item on the agenda for the evening. Scoutmaster Ted Rob- inson 'presided, and the following presentations were 1made: To Pat- man's "Badge, "presented by his mo- ther, Mss. William Fisher; -to.Ron- ald Oke, Fireman's 'Badge, Second Class badge, both presented by his father, Mr. Lloyd. Oke. 4 Scoutmaster Robingon regretted that. the Bronze. Arrowhead awards 'had not yet arrived -to be presented to Patrol Leader Ken Fisher and Patrol ' Seconds 'Lloyd Scott and Douglas . Girard. Patrol Leader Tom Sully was aiso Scout to win the Bushinan's Thong, a proficiency award. Patrol Leader Ken Pipher carried off the honors of 'the evening by being presented with his King's Scout by his mother, Mrs. E. L Pipher. - Also' going - to Ken were the Pathfinder, Camper, Friend to Animals, Red and. White Couds. These badges were presented to Xen' by his mother. Scoutmaster Robinson called on Morris Robinson, first' Scoutmaster of the group, to present the fol- lowing service stairs: 4-year: service stars, K. Pipher and Tom Sully; 2- year service stars, - Doug Girard, Alan Hoskin; 1-year service star, Ken Fisher, L. Scott, R. Oke, Dar- win Robinson, Jim Sully. During the evening the reading of the Log was heard by dll. This humorous piece was read very effec- tively by Darwin Robinson, Keeper of the Log. " The Troop was also inspected by Commissioners Harwood and Bate- man. Patrol Leader Tom. Sully thanked Mr. Bateman and Mr. Harwood for their kind atteridance, and this was followed by a thank- Jou to the ladies by Ken Fisher.' A rousing sing-gorg was held { during the evening under the- able | direction of Mr. Nicholson, and | everyone enjoyed themselves. The evening was-officially ended with several movies, at which Dar- win Robinson presided. , "The record of the 11th Oshawa {is one that should be commended, , and the energetic leadership of Scoutmaster Ted Robinson is to be praised.
