F. Blacklock, an old Ontario boy, who came to Regina In 1905, is the President of the Provincial Council of the Saskatchewan Bay Scout Association. No man in the Province is more interested or more enthusiastic in the Boy Scout work and he has already had a large share in the shaping of the policy of the Provincial Association. He brings to bear on the work of the association a keen sympathetic mind, an intimate knowledge of boy life, and a rare executive ability in organization work. Mr. Blacklock's first work in Regina was as Principal of the Public Schools of the city. In 1907, he joined the department of Education of the Saskatchewan Government, taking the position of chief clerk of the Department. In 1913, he was ap-. pointed Provincial Registrar, and in 1915, 16 and 17, was acting Deputy Minister of Education. He still retains the appointment as Registrar. . Throughout the length and breadth of the Province, and even beyond its borders, no man is better known than Mr. Blacklock, and anion;; teachers and scholars' no one is more popular. (Mr. Blacklock is a brother of Mrs J. T. Robson of Vernonville. I'd.) CRAMAHE MUNICIPAL TELEPHONE SYSTEM Castleton, April 27th, 1921.
