His business can be hon- orable and dignified if he himself will make it so. His business has to do with a primary necessity of man - the need for food. Time was when man ate grossly, tear- ing flesh from bones with his teeth, eating noisily, eating to satiety, using fingers and thumb instead of forks, spoons and knives, and eating the same kind of food day after day. His bread was vile and unclean. Contrast with the food and table habits and manners of the ancients the food and table habits 'and manners of today, and you will see how far we have travel- led from the coarseness and grossness of primitive times. A very large factor in this advance toward refinement in manners Help lmprove your personality with Wrigley's Gum. Keep your teeth white, breath sweet, by using healthful Wrigley's Gum daily-as millions do. The chil- dren also love the delicious re- freshing flavor of Wrigley's Double Mint. Take some home today. cs.36 The father may complain about his coffee. So the mother, when she goes shopping, wants her gro- cer to be suggestive - to bring to her attention foods which will en- able her to keep the family peace. Housewives lean heavily on their grocers for help in selecting what will have fam,ily acceptance. If we could but see mto all homes at meal times. and could hear all that those at the dining table say. we would quickly perceive that much domestic infelicity - and perhaps worse - is directly con- nected with the food served. It is probably true that every one who is disagreeable over the food served evinces a non-disci- plined character, a poorly-control- led temper; yet the tact nemains that food as served aI the hume table is a common cause of much domestic jangling. J C K Now let us look at the lawyer. Is his service of a more exalted type and quality than that of the crocer? What do lawyers do? Their work bas to do, quite often, with the sins and dissensions of men and women, and with the humdrum business of making wills and agreements. It is a kind of work governed very largely by what is printed in law books. The lawyers contribution to his clients is counsel and routine service. He does no more than the gr2cer to make life richer, sweeter, more enjoyable, easier, pleasanter. His is just a different kind of service. Measured by the values delivered, the lawyer's service may be nu better than the services of the grocer. Tke architects. by way of ex- ample. Most architects do very ordinary work - the planning of houses or stores or schools or churches. Only the very few are called on to plan cathedrals and ' DEAN HODGSON White Rose Service Station Bowmanville I could wish that ahl retailers - those supplying merchandise and those supplying service - would acquire a right view of the hon- orableness and dignity of their kind of business. If all retailers would see themselves as the ser- vants of their fellow men, under imperative obligation to render a high quality of service, then they would be quite wonderful con- tributors to the agencies and forces which are at work to make home, community and national life nobler in its quality and sweeter in respect of experience. Camp Akela (Contmnued from page 1) took part in the pageant which was warmly received by the crowd. Headed by their flags, the Scouts then marched to the camp- fire where they presented an in- teresting program of songs and stunts. Mr. Ross Strike, chair- man of the Scout Group Commit- tee and Past President of the Ro- tary Club, Mr. J. J. Brown, Presi- dent of the Lions Club, Mrs. Bell and other distinguished guests were introduced. The prize for the best campfire stunt was awarded the Owl Patrol under Mark Lambourn which staged a dramatization of the popular song "0 Mama". Other stunts, all of which were well received, were the Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, by the Sparrow Patrol under Don Ven- ton; The Fat Lady, by Lindsay Mitchell's Crow Patrol; and Pappy Norton and the Old Apple Tree by Don Alln and the Bobwhite Patrol. The guest speaker of the even- ing was Chief of Police Owen D. Friend of Oshawa, a member of the Boy Scout Executive of that city. Chief Friend spoke mainly to the parents whom he criticized generally for their lack of support of t4ie Scout movement. In ail his years in police work, Chief Friends said, thousands of boys had passed through his hands, and only three of all this number were boys who had Scout train- ing. The Chief urged the parents to get solidly behind the Scout movement, and see that it did not fail from lack of adequate sup- port from those who benefitted most from it. Scoutmaster Bert Mortlock ex- pressed appreciation to Chief Fri- end for his fine contribution to the program, which closed with the 'vesper service. Following the campfire the visitors were served refreshments by their hosts of the evening. On Thursday the campers went on an all-day hike to the new- Bowmanville waterworks at Beth- esda, and on Friday the Bobwhite Patrol, winners of the camp soft- bail pennant, played the remain- der of the camp and won again. In the evening the annual camp field day brought the regular ac- tivities to a close. At the closing campfire the boys presented their ideas of what they had learned from the camp. Lionel Parker of the Owl Patrol won the prize, a pen and pencil set, as the outstanding camper of 1933, while the Owl Patrol won eversharp pencils as the best pa- trol in camp. Presentation of pencils was also made to the Bob- white Patrol, winners of the soft- bail tournament, to George Rob- erts the camp mascot, and to Joe Childs, the cook. Mr. and Mrs. Luke, owners of the camp site, were also remembered for their mnany kindnesses, Mrs. Luke re- ceiving two handsome English pottery vases, and Mr. Luke a bill fold. In brief speeches Ken Nic- kerson and Eric Swindells, .* be- half of the boys in camp,- paid tribute to the camp leaders. Following campfire the Scoutsi chaired Lionel Parker around thej camp and later left on a water-1 melon hike, returning to camp in the early morning, tired but very happy.

So Mr. Koldofsky has the Mn. Kldotsky eft Canada in June, 1925, to spend most of the next four years studying with the great Ysaye in Belgium. A friend and fellow-student in 1925 was William Primrose, while in 1929 his special friends among his fel- low-students were Viola Mitchell and Bolognini, later assistant con- cert-master of the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orches- ,tra. In 1928 Mr. Koldofsky returned to Toronto for some months, dur- ing which he broadened his ex- perience in quartet-playing by leading a string quartet as first viohin in a series of broadcasts for the Canadian National Railway over Station CNRT (CKGW). In 1929 be was back in Brussels with Ysaye, but found conditions so much altered by the master's post-operation nervousness a n d illness that he presently withdrew to Paris, where he led an orches- tra in the first English commer- cial broadcasting over Station Radio-Paris. He has always been fertile in original ideas, and has taken the lead in several Toronto innovations which have had im- portant developments. For ex- ample, it was he with Louis Ges- ensway, who first asked Dr. Von Kunits, about 1923, to assemble and lead in serious classical music a group of musicians from various local theatres, this step leading ultimately to the founding of the unique distinction of actually hav- ing been the true originator of both of Toronto's current sym- phonic organizations. In 1929 and 1930 he studied with another giant among violin tea- chers, Otakar Seveik, in Pisek, near Prague, with whom Von Kunits and De Kresz had both studied. Among Sevcik's other pupils were such world-renowned artists as Kubelik, Kocian, Marie Hall, Ondricek, and many of to- day's foremost violin virtuosos. Mr. Koldofsky was soon made first violin of the Sevcik String Quartet, comprising picked artist- pupils o the now aged professor (except, of course, the 'cellist), and this ensemble gave many con- memorial structures.
