< 4 ONE-SCOUTS A Unique Reunion Three years ago, during the week pnd of May 24th, a party of nine boys camped together at Ebor Park, near Brantford, and had lots of fun. These boys represented the "Wolf Patrol" of the old 1st Ontario Lone Scout Troop, and this was the very first Lone Scout Camp to be held in Ontario. dipt. Furminger, our Commissioner, Who was with them, says that in 1929 these boys were very Inexperienced iu Scouting, but that they were quick to Jearn. To-day one of those lads is Assistant Scoutmaster to the 1st Paris Troop i ind another Is Assistant Cub Leader o the 1st Paris Pack, and all of them lave grown into big good looking fel- ows. A.S.M. Melmin Prlne and Assistant I Job Leader Clif. Cassady were again uapping on the same spot this year i luring the 24th May week end, and ;*ith them were some of their boys from the Paris Troop. These boys camped on the same site ka did the Lonies in 1929, and also used the same tent and provided the janie food and menus at were enjoyed the first Lone Scout Camp. During the week end six other mem- bers of the old "Wolf Patrol" came out from Paris in a bunch to visit the {am;, and to renew acquaintances and talk over old times with the Commis- ^louer, who was so delighted to meet them all again.

What a splendid resolution this is! fo be Clean ! Every healthy boy does his best t> keep himself clean, doesn't he? You ,* ' usually pick out a Scout, too, by his smart appearance, and clean cut took, even when he is not in uniform. JVhy? Because a good Scout takes care to li i his face and hands bright and ihining. He is careful to see that there \s no "tide mark" around his neck, and Shat those ears and fingernails are not n mourning. Also he takes care that hit clothes are brushed and clean, and |hat they are worn correctly and not pmnm on with a hay fork! So in appearance, on the outside, he ooks clean. But what about the in- Ide? What does he think about? Are iis thoughts always clean? Is he obey- tig; the 1st Soout Law and being honorable? Yes, I like to think that Scouts have fi.> lime for thoughts that are not Cean. They will not stop to listea to itones and things that are dirty. And it a Scout's thoughts are clean, |t will naturally follow that his speech is clean also. Probably you have some- times heard ignorant peope speaking who use a swear word with every breath. What sense is there In that? Haven't you noticed how stupid it sounds? If they could only realize it, swearing is the biggest advertisement of a person's ignorance! No! "A Scout is not a fool," Lord Baden-Powell once said, and therefore ha has no time for swearing or for passing on stories which can only he classed as "dirty." Thus you will gee that if a Scout keeps his thoughts and his speech clean, it is only natural to expect that he will be clean in his actions, and this is the most important part of this law. To keep your body healthy and your mind strong, you must be clean, Scouts, both outside and in, and all your actions must be 100% good. You study the birds and trees and other na- tural objects. Have you ever seen any. thing unclean H them? And one further word. Lonies. Never say, do or think about anything that you would be ashamed to discuss with your Mother or Dad. If you do this you will be O.K., and I know that you want to keep the 10th Scout Law just as much as any of the other nine. Russian Exile Scouts One of the world's interesting groups of Scouts comprise "Russian Scouts in Foreign Countries" boys of Russian exiles. Units are located In thirteen countries, and at the last census num- bered 1.301. Their Chief Scout Is Oleg Pantuckoff. who resides in the United States.

Takes Three Prizes Universities in Britain Improving Financially London. British universities wea- thered the financial crisis last year in i .ore satisfactory condition r.h^u in 1930, according to a report just issued Lv the University Grants Committee. Of the fifty-two institutions con- cerned in the report, three balanced their revenue accounts, ten showed de- ficits and forty showed surpluses in 1981. In the preceding year -wenty- eight had surpluses. Last year's dV ficits aggregated only $57,000 (at par rate of exchance), and the condition of only two institutions was con--.iJered at all serious. A decision of the government not to curtail the grants to universities ~as received as a source of great cncoui- agem-Mit and a sign of faith in the value of their work. The universities have, none the less, taken steps to effect every economy possible so as to maintain their financial stability.

THE ELOQUENCE OK LOVE, vs. 18-23. II. A TROUBLED OLD AGE, VS. 24-29. III. A BROTHER'S SELF-SACRIF1CK, VS. 30-34. INTRODUCTION The years of fa-.i- ine predicted by Joseph have come. The and of Canaan as well as Egypt, feels the pinch of famine. Driven V>y hunger, Joseph's brothers come down from Canaan to Egypt in search of food. They are thus brought under Joseph's power, and indeed into per- sonal touch with him. What a reverse of fortunes! They had left him in a pit (37: 24} ; they find him on a throne. He had been in their power: they are row in his. They pay two visits to Egypt : and although Joseph recognizes them, they do not recognize him. On the occasion of their second visit, he places his valuable divining cup in Benjamin's sack; and on its being: found he demands that Benja- min should be detained in Egypt as one guilty of theft. The scene has all the elements of tragedy Joseph, the despised brother, now clothed with ab- solute power; Benjamin, the father's present favorite and the innocent vic- tim of others' guilt; the brothers pros- trate with fear and grief; !.nd the aged Jacob waiting anxiously at home for the return of the beloved Benjamin. I. THE ELOQUENCE OK LOVE. VS. 18-23. Juilult, who from the first seems to have been of finer stun* than the others (37: 2t>. 27), comes forward as their spokesman. His speech is re- garded as the finest instance of He- brew oratory tender, moving, and full of pathos and beauty. Luther once wished that hu could plead wiili (!od as Judah pled with Joseph. His deep love for Jacob and for Benjamin has fired him with true eloquence. Ha begins by showing Joseph the utmost deference, v. 18. Surrounded with such pomp and circumstance, he is well aware that he is speaking to one almost as mighty as Pharaoh. Then he skilfully reminds Joseph that ii. was at his, Joseph's insistence, that Benjamin was uver brought to Egypt. Conscience has at last humbled the brothers. In a flash the memory of their parly guilt confronts them, v. 16. Conscience, now active, is busily at wnr'c "His brother ' dead," v. 20. Judah hasn't the remotest notion Jia> it is Joseph who stands before him; a the greater, therefore, will be the surprise of the brothers when Joseph finally discloses himself to them. Ju- u^ih is advancing every consideration that would movj Joseph to mercy. "Ho cleverly interprets," says Driver, "Jo- seph's desire on the former visit to see Benjamin as indicating a favor- able disposition towards him. To "set one's eyes upon a person" (v. 21), Is a Hebrew expression, meaning "to take a person under one's protection a-id show him favor." Will Joseph not stand by his promise now and be lenient with Benjamin? The flight of the years, together with the present troubles, have obviously purged the spirit of the brothers. Very different from the base deceit shown the father when Joseph was sold (37 31, 32) is the tender concern for him in v. 22. II. A TROUBLED OLD AGE, VS. 24-29. Judah now lifts the veil from f .hc grief at home. Jacob is in an acute dilemma. On the one hand he must have food. Severe as the famine was in Egypt, it was worse still in Can- aan. Even in good years the harvests of Canaan were not comparable with those of Egypt. Further, there had been no such prudsnt storing of grain i Canaan as there lad been, under Joseph's administration, in Egypt. Throughout histor. when men f elj he pinch of famine in Canaan, they au ways looked with longing to Egypt, the land of plenty. On the other hand, Jacob's sons remind him that it is useless to send them to Egypt for more corn unless Benjamin 's sent with them. We are made to feel poignantly the anguish of the father. Will he let Benjamin go? But what if he is bereft of him as he WAS of Joseph? Jacob's cup of sorrow is over- flowing. Yet in all this it is the jus- tice of God overtaking him. These troubles of his unhappy old ;'ge are the sure retribution i.f the wrongs He had long ago done his own brother, Esau. Tortured .vith anguish of spirit, he trembles at the verge of Sheol, the shadowy abode of the dead. III. A BROTHER'S SELF-SACRIFICE, vs. M-Z4. Judah't; nobility now rises to im- pressive grandeur. He has given his solemn pledge to his father than Ben- jamin will be restored to him. But if the governor of Egypt is determined to hold Benjamin, his pledge will oe broken and yet another wrong done to the father. Once is enough! He pleads passionately that he nay be permitted t; remain as a slave in Benjamin'f stead. Better slavery than to face his grief-stricken father! Joseph cannnt long hold out against such utter self- abnegation; the brothers are prepaivii in the spirit for forgiveness. ONLY A TRIFLE A young, newly-married couple were out for their first spin In a sec- ond-hand car they haJ bought. They covered several miles, then hubby, who was driving, became con- scious that something was wrong, and brought the car to a halt by the roadside. "Hav a a look at the hack tire on your side, darling," he said, "and see if there is anything wrong with it." "Oh, it's quite all right." reported the wife, after a careful scrutiny. "It's flat at thtj bottom, hut It's round enough at the top." Canada's Position in Empire Mining An important chaptci was added to the history of the mining industry of the Dominion at the annual meeting of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, held lust month in Montreal. This .fathering really re- solved itself into a convention >f Can- ada's mining expeits, the deliberations and discussions being of particular significance in view of the Economic Conference to be held in Ottawa in July. The papers read and discussed hud for their chief purpose the con sideu.tion of Canada's position in mining and metallurgy in relation to the mineral resources of the Empire as a whole. The central topi., of this year's gen- eral meeting of the Institute was, per haps, the paper read by Dr. Charles Camsell, Deputy Minister of Mines. Ottawa, entitled "Mineral Position of the British Empire." In this paper Dr. Camsell disclosed some interest- ing facts, based on a comprehensive s f udy he has conducted during the past four years. It is no secret that the results from this study, presented at the last Imperial Confer?nce in London, carried g"eat weight with the members. According to Dr. Camseli'3 address in Montreal, the British Empire, view- ed as an economic unit or group. rather than as individual countries, is in a position, potentially at least, of unique strength. Of the 28 most im- portant metals and minerals the Brit- ish Empire possesses 21 in such abun- dance as to have large quantities available for export. Of the remain- ing seven the Empire possesses two in quantities adequpte for its own needs. For one the Empire is prac- tically dependent on outside sources, and for four it is almost entirely so dependent. No other single country, or group of countries so associated occupies nosirion comparable to that of the British Empire in respect of supplies of mineral raw materials. Aviator Travels Faster Than Speed of Bullet Man is able to travel today with the speed of a bullet. When Flight Lieutenant Stninforth, of the British navy, winner of the 1981 Schneider Trophy race, mads a speed for che first lap of 415.5 miles an hour, he actually went faster than the maxi- mum speed of a bullet from a British service revolver. This bullet has a muzzle velocity of 650 feet a second, or 409.09 miles an hour. Therefore, L a revolver were fired just as the flyer passed in theory the bullet might be expected .o travel along beside the ship and the flyer might feel safe in reaching ort and touching it, or s:ven putting it in his pocket while it was .still proceeding at full speed. The flyer's speed might also be said to have been faster than the average speed of a Springfield rifle bullet, says "Popular Mechanics Magazine." Such a missile leaves the muzzle at I'.ii." :' feet a second, equal to 1,808.9 m'los an hour, and its average speed over its .flTective range of 1,000 yards is 1,270 miles an hour. However, after the bullet has covered its effective rangre it floats on and on, until, slowed down by air resistance, it drops M the ground spent. At the end of its flight it has very little speed, and if the average is taken i is found to be less than for the plane at top speed. The bullet would win, however, if the p.ane's speed w-.-re averaged in the same wav. ONE WAY He took his ticket leisurely at the hooking office of a suburban slat inn. but, on hearing the train approach, nmde morn haste than speed to the platform. He was going well until, when nearly at the top of the steps lending to the platform, something caused his foot to slip. His hat hud wobblwl on lo his brow, his bag and umbrella betook themselves one to the. right and ouo to the left, but he regained these ! ossessions in a grasp-all sort of fashion while on his knees. Then \\ looked up at the olflcjal at the gate, and Inquired: "Is this the way to the Glasgow train?" "Yes, sir," was the unsympathetic- reply; "yo u can come that way If you wish, but It looks bad!" Unique Methods To Get Jobs Rotterdam Chemists Adver- tises by Plane Other Notes Rotterdam. "If this Is no hit, what else can be?" was the head- lino of a handbill, which recently a Royal Dutch Airlines airplane scat- tered over Rottendam a'ld The Hague in ten thousands of copies in behalf of an unemployed chemist, who in this unusual letter of applica- tion summarized his qualifications. There is evidently a climax In the efforts for originality In attracting the possible employer's eye. This advertising for a job by airplane was. preceded by the application of the old and well-tried system of the saiidwlchmau. Some time ago a well-dressed young man appeared in the streets of Rotterdam, wearing large signs on his breast and back, giving particulars of his education and intellectual qualifications, re- questing those who thought they had a use (or an enterprising young man to communicate with him. H e re- ceived a score of letters, offering him work. This example was soon followed by someone in Amsterdam. Dinners For Sea Gulls Sea gulls perform the same office in connection with the announce, ment of winter in Amsterdam as the swallows, according to tradition, do with respect to spring in these northern countries. Early in win- ter the gulls come to Amsterdam because they are sure to find there much of their native element, name- ly, * water. Furthermore a great many people in Amsterdam in win- ter make it a point dally to feed them. The birds are very bright and soon get to know the place? where at feeding time a kind-heart- ed woman or child appears at the wiiiow, with a plate heaped with fragments of bread. The gulls fly in large flocks past the window, catching iu their flight the pieces of bread that are thrown up in the air. Radio and Film Exnibit Amsterdam people had a fortun- ate opportunity to get a clearer in- sight into the working methods of the electro-acoustic industries, through an international exhibition of radio, television, gramophone, sound films, films and photography held at Amsterdam from May 6 to May 16. This gave a complete and lively picture of the technical, cul- tural and economic phases of these industries, while lectures were givei on allied subjects. Rare and Im- portant exhibits from Russia, the United States, Japan. Great Britain and Germany gave Instructive Im- pressions of t!i8 achievements ol other nations. Taxi Men Cut Rates A rate war between the so-called stationed taxicsbs, which are Bub- ject to stringent municipal rules and traffic police control, and the "free" taxi owners, who have no fixed sta- tion and are not allowed to solicit customers by driving very slowljr, has recently resulted in the estab- lishment at Amsterdam of the low- est taxi fares in the world, it is re- ported, Amsterdam taxi fares are said to be even cheaper than those iu Paris or Berlin. A uniform price of ten Dutch cents ($0.04) per kilometer, is charged, which figures out at about six American cents a mile, incUfding the first mile. This explains the signs which many taxi- cabs carry on their windshields. Hides from 10 cents upwacd! Mathers A mother is a mother .still the holi- est thing alive. Coleridge.
