Spent Night ai Nemorial Park Covered 150,000 Miles in 25 Years Five kbak.i Scout tents spneut- ed fnom the grass of Memorial' Park bere Sunday night as a group of Boy Scouts from Ala- bama with a generous touch of wonderlust in their makeup camped overnight in the park on their way between Ottàwa and Toronto. The 25 boys who made the overnight stop were members of Troop No. 15 of the Boy Scouts of America from Annis- ton, Alabama, a city of about 30,000 near Birmingham. Under their,Scoutmaster, W. L. Hughes and assistant scoutmaster Harny G. Kilgone, the troop is on its 24th annual tour, a tour -which will bave taken them nearly 3,000 miles by the time they ar- rive back in 'Alabama. Travelling in a truck on which the Scouts and leaders have built a body especially suited te their needs, the Boy Scouts crossed into Canada at New- pont, Vermont and went te Que- bec City wbere they campèd for two days. Tbey then drove te Montreal, and from Montreal te Ottawa. where they were over- night guests of the Ottawa Scm Scouts. They left Ottawa Sunday marning and arrived in Bow- manville late Sunday afternoon, just i time to get their tents pitched in Memonial Park be- fore the heavy nains started. Left Here Menday 'Morning They broke camp here on Monday ancl went te Toronto where they planned te spend a day,~before proceeding te Nia- gara Falls, and then down tbrough the Northern States and Kentucky te Anniston again.

Easy te CANADIAN NATIONAL THE ONLY RAILWAY SERVING ALL YEN PROVINCES Scoutmaster Hughes said, they have covered over 150,000 miles and travelled all over the Unit- ed States, Quebec and Ontario. The Troop made a trip to Can- ada five years ago, and Mr. Hughes declared, "We liked it s0 much we decided to corne back. The Canadian people have been very nice to us and we have enjoyed the tour very much". The whole tour, which lasts a month, cost each Boy Scout in the Troop only $20, Scoutmasten Hughes said. The rest of the funds corne from donations from church groups, service clubs and other organizations in Anniston. He stated that the annual tours are a reward for good work during the year and that the Scouts look forward to themn eagerly. "We feel that the tours have a great educational value and make themn better Boy Scouts", their leader said. When the Scouts arrive at their campsite, each one bas a definite job to do. Some of the boys pitch the tents, others do the cooking and look after the other chores. They cook prac- tically ail their own meals and have a special ice chest on their truck for storing meat and other -food Deslgned Body Theinselves Through their many years of touring experience the leaders and Boy Scouts of the Anniston Troop have learned just how their truck body should be made. The one they buiît this year is designed to give them the maximum of storage space for their equipment. There are special compartments under the .truck for their tents, tent poles, Ianterns and other camping gear. The steps on either side of the body are retractable so they can be pushed back into their com- partments when the truck is on the road. The seats are bult lengthwise in the centre of the truck so the boys are facing out and have a good view of the sceneny. The windows can be lowered into the frames to give themn plenty of fresh air. Roomy compartments under the seats and a luggage rack on top gives themn lots of room for their personal baggage. They even have a radio, a barrel of ice water and a signal system between the truck body and the cab. Scoutmaster Hughes stated that the Anniston Boy Scout Troop is the most - travelled Troop in the United States". An inspection of their' truck and camp indicates it is the most resourceful, travel-wise and hap-* piest Troop also. BETHANY Bethany Girls Softball Club won thein two games with Han- wood.

Stateman's Grass R<teColumni t Our thanks to Mrs. Bessie Wright, Toronto, and several others for so tbougbtfully send-ý ing along clippings from July 18 issue of the Toronto Telegnam, written by Sam Crystal, -staff reporter. As a supposedly nos-, talgic article, it *as well wrlt- ten. As a bistorical plece apro- pos Pontjpool, it was a flop. Many local people wish Mr. Crystal had carried out some ne- search and provlded his neaders witb more historical facts about the village and viclnity instead of so much of the first person, iLe., S. Crystal, who -erned when he stated there are now no mud- cats in the pond, because we heard of a chap who bauled out seventy-seven at one go, this past sprng. Tbey wonder why he didn't tell about the young marn who was drowned in the big pond, and how his. body was recover- ed. . They wisb he had told the story of the only isolation bos- pital ever built in Manvers Township; wby, and where it was bult; how many patients were admitted; how many died, and tram what terrible disease; whC burnt it one dark nîght, and why; what well known commo- dity was cooked with the foun- dation posts on which it was erected:. A loi of folks would have been glad to learn why the Welsh name of Pontypool was given te a village in a predominantly Irish settlement. Others would have been in- terested to hear bow the Pres- byterian Churcb became a miii- tary depot; later still an apart- ment bouse; finally destnoyed by- fire. And how the Chosen Friends Hall, besides being used as a fratennal meeting place; polling booth at election time; blacksmith shop; chopping mill; saw, mill, was f inially an over- size brooder house for baby chicks, at which time kt burneti down. His readers would have been surprised to bear that the Odd- fellows Hall waàs biilt at a cost of $600 by an Onono côntractor; was the first community hall in .the village; is now an apartment project. Mr. Crystal could have point- cd out that Pontypool is in the heart of a rich tobacco gnowing, potato producing, Christmas tree industry, district. That more gold watch awards for raising spuds have been won by Ponty- pool growers than in any other district mn this province. Perbaps eyebrows would have been raised wben their owners found eut that the present vil- lage well was dug on the site where once a big pine stump stood outaide the village* pub, which once graced the south east corner of the village cnossroads, but burned dowri many years ago. It would have tickled the readers to hean about the local teamster (stiil living) wbo was bined te transport kegs of whis- key from Port Penny to the Pan- typool pub, and who siphoned 1.off several quarts of the precious nectar enroute, replacing it with waten. Which action caused the hotelman to saY some unkind words about the quality of the product; to cast reflections on the producer's ancestors, besides consigning tbem to a very warm place.' Mn. Cnystal should have told us why our village was often referred to as Steamn Milîs be- fore it received its- present and proper name. And how the peo- ple of this district had te jour- ney to Orono ten miles away, te post a letter, before a post office was established here. How rural mail drivers, using borses, once delivered mail from Pnontypool to several other post offices be- fore the days of the present R.M.D. These same couniens cov- ered routes under conditions that makes our present rural de- liveny look like kid stuff. Most people would be surpris- ed to leann that Pontypool was once the home ot an inventor, wbose clever bandiwork was exhibited at a famous World's Fair; who could and did, make an excellent rifle; who once re- fused a steady job as designer for the founder of the Massey- muESLEYMVLLE Haying in finished on mont farms, and harvestlng weli un- der way. Tomnato plantearae cov- enlng the ground in the field so it wlll flot be long before this crop wlU be picked. With several families away for holidays there was a small at- tendance at Sunday School. In the absence of bath supeninten- dent and assistant, the office was flled by George Tufford, and the beginner's clans taken by Muriel Austin. Sunday School picnlc was aninounced for Sat- unday, August lst at Port Bnit- ain Shores. Mr. and Mn.. Percy Snell were in Torento on Sunday and Carol Langrnan returned to ber home with them. Visitors I the community during the past week were: Ross Brirnacombe with bis aunt, Mrs. A. Thorndyke; Mn. A. J. Nichols, Bowmanville, with Carroll Nich- ois; Mr. J. Woolacott, Port Hope, with A. Austin's; Phillip Clarke, Utterson, with bis gnandparents, Mr. and Mrs. C. Brighton. Recent visitons there also, were Mr. and Mrn. V. Saabo, Hamilton. Congratulations to Mr. and Mns. Green on the birtb of their daugbter in Port Hope. Leslie Ford, a young man of tbree sumnmers, tumbled off a gate and fnactured his shoulder. His arm movements will be res- tricted for the next three weeks. NESTLETON Hill, for a drink, while on his return journey to Pontypool; left the tavern and was neyer seen alive afterward. He could have raised quite a cbuckle telling about the local baker who journeycd to a dis- tant town on a very cold winten day, and wbo crawled inside the brcad van, leaving the horse to find its own way over the snowy noads,- and who woke up when the faithful beast stopped at its home stable 'doon. Pontypool was once the ad- dresa of the most colontul auc- tioneer of aîl time, rcnowned for bis ability to seIl, ready wit; loveable personality and salty yarns. Mn. Crystal emphasized the tact that this locality is now a summen resont. Pontypool bas a. fascinating history involving many unusual persenalities, and incidents, which vastly ovensha- dow the présent tourist projects. Tourist trade is good for one thlng - to make dollars for they who cater to the tourists, buf it centainly adds little to the glamour, richness and romance of tbe history of this anea. Instead of Mr. Crystal won- dering why a summen resont was developed at Pontypool, "wbere there is neithen lake non river", he could bave concluded bis article with a well deserved tnibute to the présent day crop of Pontypool Gentiles, by point- ing out that the Jewish summen nesont bad been developed be- cause here thene was little of the discrimindtion sbown bis ce-ne- ligionists in other places. Hé could bave pointed out that, bis fellow Jews appreciated this oasis of kindly friendliness in a world fouled up with religious feuds, bigotny, and discrimina- tion. Editor's note - After reading the above inquiries aiýid cniti- cisms of Mr. Crystal's article which appeared in the Toronto Telegram, and which we hope to reprint in this issue of The Statesman, we are delegating you, Ed, for the next few weeks to tell Statesman readers the whys, wherefores and becauses of such bistorical and buman interest stories not included in the Telegram article.
