The play, the the rinstrels, the songs by Scout- 'master Arlidge and those by the boys. all went with a zip, and were well received. The event of the evening was the presentation of the Troop Colors by Mrs. Geo. Jackson, assisted by Mrs. M. Beare, The gift was a handsome and worthy of the I.0.D.E which contributed it. Speial mention should be made of the excellent work done by Douglas McArthur in his chalk talk. He is progressing well: and will make a good cartoonist. Mrs. Jackson called attention to the fact that the youth of our nation is its finest 'asset, and then made these significant remarks: "We say that the youth of our country is the finest asset, but at time it is hard to believe, for this reason. So few men are willing to undertake the work of leadership, and 'make "the necesary sacrifices to guard and train this "finest asset." The speaker then went on to show that even among landlords youth is not welcome. Mrs. | Jackson was very enthusiastic as- to the work of the Boy Scouts, and ap- pealed to the citizens to give the movement a sympathetic support. Mrs. Jack#on said that she con- sidered that the thanks of the citi- .zens were particularly due to Mr. Arlidge, the Scoutmaster, and Mr. Walker, the' President of the Troop Committee, for their work with the boys. At the conclusion of the play--The Scout, the Scold and the Scoundrel, Samuel Farmer a member of the Troop Committee gave 'the following | fireside talk which outlines some- {| thing of the spirit of the movement: A very beautiful and complete selection of everything that is desirable in Jewelry, Watches and Silverware.

We'll pretend that I'm talking into the radio and the folks out there can "listen in" if they want to. Sometime we get a spell when we 'think everything is wrong and all that; but I guess things aren't so bad with a few thousand young fel- lows like you scattered all over the country. Sir Robert Baden-Powell started a pretty good idea when he got the Boy Scouts going. Of course he wasn't the first man who thought that boys ought to be given a fair chance to make good. Quite a number of years ago there was an organization called the "Boys Brigade." It was in Britain where that idea was started and the boys (engaged themselves pretty well and it did them a lot of good. If you ever want to know more about the Boys Brigade read "Bax- ter's Second.Innings"by Henry Drum- mond. ; Then there are the Cadets. A fel- gt} low gets pretty good training in the 3] cadets and a bit of drill and proper discipline i all right. Of course there have been plenty of folks fhat didn't like the Boys' Bri- gade or the Cadets because there was military drill in connection with both these systems. And you can't alto- gether blame people for mot liking militar drill. It is good enough in its nd very necessary at times; Yecard of our Canadians goes military. training is not you fellows run out of turns" you can come to me or of the rest of the folk. There Well those two ideas are the back- ground that makes all our other pe the | mises possible. , marized as follows: Trust- ess, loyalty, help Iness, friendliness, courtesy, kindness to animals, obedience, good nature, thrift, cleanness. There will be plenty of times when we shall not keep all the Scout laws and fhaybe we shall be a bit dumpy -|about it; but we have as good a chance as anybody can have to learn, for we do it in our play. We learn to play the game fairly. We 'keep keep our eyes open, and are all alive to the good things of life. 'We know too that a lopsided man cannot be a really good Scout, and so | we keep the idea in front of us of learning all we can about everything we can. "And there are a great many lines of life for us to study. Our Scout Book tells us about sixty of these and they give us badges if we learn well. The exams they set are no child's play I can tell you, but when we can make good, we are sure that we have done something worth while; and we know too that: we shall be some good in the world, It is not likely that folks will have to pay for our keep in the poorhouse or the jail. You ought to ask our Scoutmaster, Mr. Arlidge, to let you see about those "Proficiency Badges." It will open your eyes. One 'thing we must remember: When you have put on the Scout uniform it is in itself a promise, and folks are going to judge Scouts by what you do. If you listen well you will hear people say--"Oh, yes he's a Scout" and you can tell in a minute just"what they think of Scouts. They may say it this way -- "Oh! he's a Scout" with a sort of sneer-- and then you know they have a pretty poor idea of Scouts and maybe it was some Scout's fault that they think that way. Or they may say it this way--*"Oh! he's a Scout" with an admiring tone- and you may be sure that Scouts have been doing a good turn and have left a good impression, Of course thoughtful folks will re- member that Scouts are only boys after all and they won't expegt too much, but you must remember, too, that all people are not thouhtful so we must not give them too much chance to grumble: "Good night boys." = ONTARIO MOTOR LEAGUE MAP The map has been compiled from the most reliable sources of informa- tion and has been designed with the one object of meeting the require- ments of motor tourists.

In these speehes there was brought into prominence the importance of the various branches of our system of education, the confidence that the Port Perry Board of Education, and School Staffs have in each other, and their desire to further education in Port Perry to the best of their abil- ity. This was pleasantly interpersed with humorous ancedote, apt quot- ations, reminiscences of the educa- tional systems of years gone by, and the appreciation of the guests of the hospitality of Mr, and Mrs, Farmer. In past years the teachers have en- tertained the Board of Education, but this is the first time that a member of the Board has entertained that body and the teachers. It was the purpose of Mr. Farmer, the chairman of the Board, to promote the feeling of unanimity and harmony between the Board and the Teachers, and to give an opportunity for a social even- ing, as well as for light W be shed on educational problems. "In this he admirably succeeded. The geniality of the host and hostess made the banquet a very happy occasion for all present. The care taken in the composition of the menu cards and the artistic' place-cards, painted by Mr. Farmer himself, was especially appreciated, and these latter will long be kept as mementoes of the happy event. A vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs, Farmer was proposed by Mr. Win, Letcher, and seconded by Mr, F. W. Brock; was warmly applauded by all, and so concluded a-'unique and most enjoyable evening, The Board and Staff, per E. Appleyard The catering was done by Mr. Jas. Ruddy, who does this part of the work excellently. Everyone was pleased with the splendid meal and the fine service rendered by Mr. Ruddy. re THE COAL SITUATION Harold Ratcliffe, of Toronto, re- presentative of prominent coal -inte- rests, addresed the Oshawa Rotary Club, discussing in an interesting manner a question which agitates the whole community--coal. Mr. Ratcliffe showed that anthra- cite coal only occupied a very small area, some 500 square miles, and that the largest and best seams had been mined long ago. To-day only the smaller seams and those inter- spersed with rock and slate are 'available. "In other words, we are getting poorer coal to-day than our grandfathers and fathers secured, from. the mines. : ton to the cost of coal. There are }8 tons of water handled in a mine for every ton of coal. There is dust and dirt, slate and other be taken out of the coal, "breaker" which crushes costs very large sums of money to erect ($1,000,000). In the "breaker" the coal is screened and sorted and broken into uniform sizes. In doing this, however, the coal is oftentimes broken into fine particles which can- not be used except for steam pur- poses, Mr. Ratcliffe's conclusion was that "nature had decreed that anthracite coal would become more and more expensive as the years went by." Alberta Coal Speaking of Alberta coal and its possible use in this part of the coun- try, Mr. Ratcliffe expressed the opinion that it was only a high grade of lignite and that it would "slack" when exposed to the air. He was of the opinion that the transportation costs would be too high to ever make it a profitable fuel to use. His only solution for the present high price of coal was the use of coke. No forecast was made regarding the price at which coal might sell next year, ex- cept the general information that coal prices are generally tending in an upward direction. refuse to while the the coal NOTES OF PASSING INTEREST A meeting of the Executive of the Conservative Party of South Ontario will be held at Whitby on Wednesday afternoon next (May 2nd). At that meeting a date will be selected for holding a convention when a can- didate will be chosen. Dr. James Moore of Brooklin, is President of the Association. The Spring day was ideal. Mamma told Johnny to hang the rug on the line and beat it--he did. The young man who recently stole an automobile, the property of Bruce Glove, of Whitby, and drove it to a point near Greenbank, where he was captured by the police, was sentenced to serve one year in the Ontario Re- formatory by Magistrate Hind. The prisoner admitted his guilt. A statistician has stated that 97 per cent. of the population are Christians. There are times when one is inclined to believe that the estimate is high. The ice went out of Lake Scugog : on April the 25th, fifteen days later than last year. A new high sthool is to be built in Oshawa. Whitby is being offered another industry. If all industries had to be bonussed and given special privileges it would not be long before the costs to the public would rise beyond en- durance.

A sub-station will be built two miles 'south of Sutton for this purpose. Work will be commenced immediately.
