THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL Scouting By Clare Willis Last week we reported on the Cubmasters training course at Burlington and how the leaders who took advantage of it came home with a stock of new ideas for better and brighter pack pro- gramme. I don't think we mentioned however, that besides Cubmas- ters, there were members of the Group Committee, including the Chairman, myself, whose wife is an "Akela" and who probably thought we might look more in- telligent when she talked shop; if he knew something of what she was doing and some of the pro- blems she was up against. Another committee member told us, simply, that he felt he could be of more help to the leaders if he the took the course with them; also, he has a son who is just starting in Cub- bing, and like the Chairman, he wanted to be able to understand the Jungle Jargon that inevitable HOBBY COLUMN By Wm. D. Christianson, Jr. PHILATELIC ERROR Our Post Office department at Ottawa is very careful about making any mistakes. Once in a while, however, something slips by and sometimes these fall into the hands of collectors. Canada has never had any inverted cen- tres in postage stamps, although one of the early Bill stamps which was printed in two colours did get out that way, and now commands quite a premium. Recently, a member of the Can- adian Philatelic Society from Toronto purchased one hundred 15c air letter forms. These ap- peared normal on top, but the 99 underneath all turned out to be printed the wrong way around The stamp appeared on the flap end which should be turned in. Consequently, these letter forms could not be folded and sealed properly. Our . illustration - shows the normal sheet 'and one of the "inverted" copies which Ottawa overlooked. 8c & l7c Stamps Discontinued The post office department a Ottawa have announced tHal are used up there will be no fur have not found a ready sale most offices which special delivery stamps in stock, and could. easily combine when required to do so. copies of these air crease in value here.

Who knows but what we might unearth more leaders for our Packs and Troops!--or is that what fathers are afraid of? New leaders are gradually com- ing in, and scouting prospects are brighter 'than for some time past Messrs Michael Jennings and Bill Moore have started the 3rd Pack thereby preventing about 25 boys from disappointment at not get- ting into Cubbing and.the 1st and ond Packs between them have absorbed the balance of a grati- fingly long waiting list. Sgt. Keith Carnegy Is taking over the 1st Pack, which has | suffered recently from lack of continuity of leadership and in- struction. And in the 2nd Pack, Mr, Jack Barrett, who was in Scouting in Oakville as a boy is putting his experience, plus nat- ural enthusiasm and love of boys, to excellent use. t CLUB 20 By Marion Languay Club "20" presented a very subdued interior Saturday night.
