He had beer informed that Cal Breen, the troop leader, who was preseni at the meeting, was looking after 33 boys and pointed out that this is too large a troop for one leader. This shortage off leaders exists net only in Bowmanville, but ail across Canada, he said. However, this is a sign that the movement is [e expanding, which is better than if it were merely marking !time or going backward. P Mr. Pilling also pointed oui 1that there are many more Cul: ýd packs than Boy Scout troops v in the country. This is flot e ight, since every boy belong- - ing to a Cub pack should have y the opportunity o! moving up t- to a Scout troop when ho n reaches the age of 12. The y' Scout group consists off three tt organizations, he said: the Culb :- pack for boys eight to 12 year5, g the Scout troop for boys frorn e 12 to 17, and the Rover crew !- for young men 18 to 25. k Try to Improve Character "In addition to the three in- S stitutions which have such a ;t great effect on shaping the It character of a boy-the home, the church and the schooi - -we in the Boy« Scout Meve- ment provide a fourth or- ganization which we hope will t improve his character", the e Field Commissioner declared. He gave a brief history off ethe organization, stating that it à grew out of Lord Baden-Pow- ell's experiences in scouting in the British Army in India and Afr-ca. He wrote a book, "Aids to Scouting", in 1899 which %,.'as based on bis expenience along that line in the army. Somne friends suggested that he write a similar book slanted toward boys so they could use it as a basis for work in field- craft. He then published an- other book, usîng much of the~ same material, entitied "Scout- ing for Boys", and the young- sters in England used the book as a reference on their camp- ing trips. In 1907 Lord Badelî- Powell took a group o! boys to a scouting camp and patrols began springing up in vanieus towns. He then decided te take over these patrols and organ- ize them into the Boy Scout movem e nt. Mr. Pilling pointed out that there are 100 different profi- ciency badges which can be won by Boy Scouts. The Ro- tary Club could assist their troop, be said, by baving some of its members witb special knowledge in certain fields act as badge examiners. He then answered several questions ne- garding sponsorship. Mr. Pilling was tbanked on behalf of the club for bis in- formative address by Rotarian Bob Stevens. Other Guesta Welcomed President Keith Jackson wel- comed six other guests to the meeting: Rotarians Ernie Gur- nett, Belleville; Jim Flett, Eric Jones and Ted Moulton, Osh- awa; R. A.

Invitations were received to Rotary bonspiels in Lindsay and Guelph. Rotanian Keitb Billett called Rotarian Bill Rudeli te the front for a bumorous presenta- tion of baby care necessities, in view of the recent addition off a son to his family.

The meeting was heiti in St. John's Panish Hall. Dr. Jackson was born in Montreal andi graduated frein McGili University with honors in Modern Languages. She ne- ceived her B.A. and M.A. da- grees from McGill andi in 1950 ber Ph.D. from Radcliffe Coi- lege, Harvard, ber Ph.D. thesis being on the modern German sculpter, Ernst Barlach. Dr. Jackson has studied in Ger- many and spent several years in Denmark and Finlanti. She taugbt at McGill, Wheaton College in Manitoba anti Car- leton in Ottawa beffore going te MeMaster. A link with Bowmanville a! interest te a numben bere is the fact tbat Dr. Jackson's me- ther, the fermer Coralie Adair, liveti in Bowmanville before ber marniage,, and went te school bere. Dr. Jackson is a niece off the famous Canadian painten, A. Y. Jackson. Famous Portraits Kodachrome pictunes taker by Dr. Jackson off famôus po.. traits by Holbein, Van Dyke Hogartb, Gainsborough, Sur Joshua Reynolds anti otbern were usedti t illustrate ber adi- dress. The depth anti nicbness o! caler off these famous paint. ings, some off which bang in the Louvre, the Metropolitan in New York andi the National Art Gallery in Washington, re. produceti very well in most ol tbe Kodachrome sldes. Portrait painting originated in the l5th century in Italy and moved north gnadually with the Renaissance, reacbing Englanti and northern Europ- ean countries quite late, when such famous painters as Leon- ardo da Vinci anti Rapbael were in full ffiower. Before that time, paintings bati been main- ly off Holy figures. It was net until the 18th century that Engiand produced any native painters off impor- tance, William Hogarthbheiwl-, the first off these. Prier te thal, portrait painter6 such as Hans Holbein ant ir Anthony Van Dyck came frein the Continent, attracteti the attention o! the English monarchs, anti became Cour Paintens. Holbein's Work Holbein's famous portrait off the great scholar Erasmus, wvhom be bati known in Basie, Switzenland, was shown by Dr. Jackson, aise bis portrait of Hlenry VIII anti Jane Seymour. Dr. Jackson pointeti eut the wonderful texture o! the ctos- tumes, anti the' ligbt bnilliance on the faces with ne shadows, ail characteristic off Hoibein's work. Under the Stuarts, European painters were drawn frein dif- ferent soeurnc es, ineluding France anti Italy, anti their style was very different, bav- ng more soft, romantie uines. Van Dyck's work. influenceti by ritian, was off this type. Van Dyck came te Englant inl 1632 and painteti many portraits cf bhe Royal Fàmily. Engllsh Antists The 18th century in England was a great peniot off consoli- dation in painting wben Eng- lish artists off stature emiengeti for the first time. Thene was a great grewth off interest in the rdinary people, shop keepers, nanuffacturers. servants anti o on. Illustrating this, Dr. Jackson showeti others, Ho- garth's painting off bis servants, and a charming study o! the actor Davidi Garnick anti bis vife. Thomas Gainsborough -,vas one off the *greatest painters ut tis century, a large portion et his wvork being portraits. Dr. ackson peinteti eut the light, iry feeling in bis painting~, the delicate light anti enchant- ing colon. The. Blue Boy Dr. Jackson sbowed a pic- tre off Gainsborough's famnous "Blue Boy", which is saidti t ave been painteti on a bet .'îth Sir Joshua Reynolds, wlio 'ad thiat Nlue shouiti only be, sed for distance and could net be successfully used as a cen- tral colon. "Tbe Blue Boy", be- loved by thousantis ever since, was the result. Wbile Gainsborough excelled as a painter off women, Rey- noldis excelleti rather as a painter off men. He knew a great many important peoplei and gaineti lame anti wealth.1 Arnong examples of bis vork' shown by Dr. Jackson wvas the solemn portrait off Samuel Johnson. The speaker was ably In- troduceti by Mrs. O. W. Rolph, past president, and apprecia- tive anti understanding tbanks wene expressed by Miss Ethel McKague, member off the High School staff, who is a graduate off McMaster University.
