Mr. Jack Georing of Port Hope in speaking at the Clarke Public Library last Wednes- day evening themed his speech "When will we ever learn"? He spoke of nany teéhnilogical advances which were designed to improve the condition of man. In case after case these proposed advance- ments have in fact contained feature after feature of a negative nature. Mr. Georing spoke of the Aswan dam in Eygpt as an example and said that the dam which was the benefit the whole of the country now carries ýwith it adverse pro- blems which almost outweight the good it does create. The speaker spoke of the flooding by the Aswan dam which created a breeding place for snails which carry a disease which is now prevel- ant in the area. Evaporation is so great in the flooded area as well as seepage through the sand that the full use of the water cannot be realized. The dam has also cut down on the silting of the deltas thus reducing agriculture to a great extent. The sardine industry is also drastically reduced as nutrients on which sardines feed are not now present in the fishing areas. Most of these conditions were known, stated the speak- er but politically the move was (Continued page 3) Legion assist youth The guide motto is a challenge. It was first used when Robert Baden-Powell was sent to South Africa to raise the South African Con- stabulary, a mounted police force. The men were asked to choose a motto. They adopted "Be prepared" to match the initials of their Chief, and it was inherited by the Scouts and Guides. It means that you as a guide must be ready, prepared in knowledge and skills, for whatever may comne. In 1908 scouting began. It was founded by Sir Robert Baden-Powell. Two years lat- er in 1910, Sir Robert's sister Agnes Baden-Powell founded the Girl Guides. Ever since then guiding has spread to over 65 countries throughtout tbe world. Have you ever though ser- iously about the Guides in Orono? They are an active group in community projects, for instance canvassing for the Red Cross. Girl Guides learn many crafts and hobbies for which they not only earn badges but which are also useful and enriching exper- iences. Just recently some girls took a leathercraft cour- se to pass their leather craft badge. They made some very pretty coasters.and key cases which will be displayed at the coming banquet. One of the girls, Ellen Heard, is just completing the last require- ment for the highest Girl Guide Achievement: the Can- ada Cord. This award is very difficult to achieve, and not many have it. Thousands of girls through- out Canada and the world enjoy Guiding. Maybe your daughter would like to be part of this world wide organizat- ion. Picture: left to right: Wendy Heard, Mrs. J.
