Mortlock began bis Scouting carcer in Bowmanviile abaut 18 years ago. and since that time bas isen ta the position af Executive Commissioner fan Scaut Publica- 1 tions in Canada. His message jwas bath inspirational and pnac- tical; bis stress of the necd for activec participation in Scouting by providing leadcrship is a real and vital thing, and mucb more important than a pat on the back for the present leaders or even a financial contribution ta the Scout Movement. Field Commissioner On Tbursday e'<ening the Sec- ond Troop, under Scodftmaster Clare Nowlan, held their regular meeting in the Higb Sehool gymi. Their special treat was a 'isit from Jack Atkinson, aur Field Commissioner, who as usual bad sanie new ideas and games ta pass along ta the Leaders and the Scouts. Althougb Mn. Atkinson i las been actively connected with Scouting for twenty years, he frankiy admitted that be is t'ili learning new tbings in Scoutin1g: as a matter of fact, Scouter Noxv- ]an taugbt hlm a new way of ty- ing a clave hitch witb anc hand bebind his back.
