help us rea h yours truly isabel m madhrmid secretary countess of strathmore chapter i ox e the value of scout training arthur e paddon jr field secretary tor the boy scouts assoc ation in ontario recently paid us a call to discuss possibilities of form tog a scouting organization in georgetown it is about five years since boy scout troop has been in existence here and we feel that lack of such an organization is a detriment to local young men scout training combines a training in citizenship with a healthy program of creation and rieelul knowledge on the other side of the ledger we find innumerable examples of the way a scout troop cooperates with other organizations scouts have aided the police in tracking criminals they have rendered valuable as stance to the red cross in floods and fires they are the first to offer their services as ushers at public functions as taggers on tag days any thing where trained organisation is necessary all this presu tiiat the local scout troop is under capable direction too often it is a fact that the man who directs the activities of a troop is not the proper person to deal with children then too a scout troop must be sponsored by some organization or group mr paddon is anxious that some such organization in georgetown bring the scout movemen back to life in these troubled days when national pride is so important we feel that this would play its part in fostering much love of country in the hearts of our young citizens post mortem the pall pair has come and gone while on the whole it was ap to its standard of other years it was disappointing to see the small number of entries in some sections particularly in women s work george town women have been working nobly on war work and this no doubt was partly to blame but even so we think a more representative show mg6oci have tjeettmade some wode wmtortors have the idea that unless they have a great many entries to make there is no use entering at all when too many people feel that way the show is not a success general consensus trf opinion seems to be that more originality is needed to put same pep into our fall fair people won t come back year after year to see the same things over and over again this year with the lorne scots on call a military display might have been arranged a pet show decorated floats wood chopping and sawing contests might jm inaugurated if everybody will exhibit something rext year and if some new teatureo are introduced to add variety to the program we think george town can put on a fair second to none in the province raids on britain

friday in the provincial department of aericul- ctcemore both were stncssatul and time as a war economy was prob- brought out through the exbjbtta ably well mtentloned yet it was a evidence that the boys and girls bad move that gave rise to general regret not been idle competition was i in the rural sect ay to the boys the prize winners tn many i by warren irvln the editors corner why do wetight we have been engaged for over a year in a bitter struggle with a predatory foe in order that in our world democracy shall triumph over rule by force that was our avowed purpose when we entered the war a year ago last september and it is still our aim can we help but wonder then when we glanced at yesterdays dally papers and read a confirm ation by our government of rumours that had been circulating concerning the sale of v it supplies to another predatory power japan the excuse was given tha our shipments compared with those from the united slates were infinitely small and becaue of this there was no reason whyauch shipments should be stopped aside from this warped thinking which condones a wrong act because it is not wrong enough does our government not realize what a powerful propaganda weapon they are banding to our german enemies we are trying in every way possible to convince the oennan home front that we are a people who hold no brief with aggressor nations what will berliners think when they read in their papers that canada is doing a thriving trade with their eastern brothers- incrime consistency is still a virtue and when we do not practice cortsls tency in our war effort we are doing great harm to that effort community salvage drive the local iojxe chapter is asking for support in a salvage drive which will begin during thanksgiving week your support in this worthy enterprise is asked perhaps the following etter will best explain details of the drive thanksgiving week oct 18 19 is the time of the georgetown and community salvage drive during this period the members of the local od chapte will call at every home in georgetown to collect old magazines newspapers and other articles a full list of which appears elsewhere in this issue you are asked to save these articles and have them ready for the collectors these above mentioned materials are needed urgently and the money derived rrom their sale will be used for war work therefore by giving this salvage drive your whole hearted support you are helping in m twofold manner we know that every citizen of georgetown wants to be on the winn ing side in this war and this is one small but important way in which everyone can ac ively share lr bringing abou the victory and peace we so earnestly desire we wish to thank everyone who contributed to the aluminum drive the response was gratifying and
