a 4 * | News this week comes from West- ern Ontario, where Lone Scout Boost- ers have been at work in Lucan and Drumbo, with the result that several new members have joined our ranks in thode places, and appearances seem to indicate the speedy formation of Lone Patrols in those two centres. All Lonies in this province will wish them "Good Scouting." Things continue to hoom at Fenelon Falls, where the Lonies have been un- der 'the keen leadership of Patrol Leader Doug. Warren. Now we hear that in order to accommodate more members, the Beaver Patrol has split into two sections, making a new Patrol to be called the "Foxes," under Ken Menzies, who will be the Patrol Lead- er of that section. Last week quite a lot was said in this column about Camp, which is al- ways of interest to Scouts. This week I want to pass on a lit tle Information on this subject which all Lonles should know and which should be carefully followed when a camping expedition is being planned. First of all comes the"task of pre- paring the necessary equipment and deciding what to take and what to leave behind. As this depends largely upon the duration of the Camp and the method of transport I do not pro- pose to discuss this matter In this article, but will save it for a future oc- casion. This week I will confine my r opngks to generalities which would apply' to any camp, irrespective of its length, or type. Choosing the Site.--~--Thig is an im- portant matter, as a camp can be made or marred by its location. There are several things to take into considera- tion. - Chief amongst them is what soldiers call "The Lay of the Land." It is always advisable to keep on high ground and avoid hollows. Hollows hold moisture, from rain, dew, mists, etc, and in the event of a rain storm the camper stands the risk of being quickly flooded out. Therefore, keep to the higher ground, preferably a gentle slope, but not so high as to be exposed to all the elements in the event of a storm. Camp in the open, and not under trees, if you can avoid doing so. Place your tent where lots of sunshine and alr can get at it. Be careful, however, to be near to some shelter from wind, and shade from sun. Always consider the water before you locate. It is always a nuisance to have to carry water from a great distance, so have this very necessary commodity in mind when picking your site. Water.--Be careful that your water is not contaminated and that it is fit to drink. Slow, stagnant streams are usually harborers of disease germs. Avoid them. A clear spring with a clean source, or a quickly running stream with a good gravelly bottom is very much more safe. When in doubt, do not drink any water which has not been boiled. Cooking Places.--These should be located where the prevailing wind will blow the smoke away from your camp, and not Into it. Keep your fires away from the tents. Small fires are better to cook on than large ones, and be careful not to start a forest fire, Make sure that your fire is quite out before leaving, and find out if permission has to be obtained befors you ever light one. Cleanliness.--Keep your camp clean. Never throw rubbish about, but dig a hole and put all refuse into it, and see that it is neatly covered in before you go away. Scouts always make a spe- clal point of leaving their camp site cleaner than when they arrived on it. In that way the owner of the property is glad to permit Scouts to camp on his land, and will welcome you back. Swimming --Take care that your swimming place is safe. Don't swim in strong currents, or where there are weeds. And don't stay in longer than fifteen minutes at a time."--"Lone H." question of Russian Factories Behind Schedule Moscow.--Leaders of Soviet Russia huge factories and drafting elaborate are beginning to realize that building plans for production do not mean the solution of their industrial problems. Reports of several lapses in the indus- trial program reached Moscow recent- ly. The newspaper, Za Industrializacia, published a disclosure of "unsatisfac- tory" conditions in the farm ma- chinery factory at Rostov, one of the largest, and asserted that the poor work done In assembling machines amounted to a "catastrophe." The paper sald the superintendent of the assembling department had been discharged because he gave out false production figures. He claimed 438 machines were ready for shipment whereas investigation showed there were only 20, On May 25, for example, Investiga- tors at the Rostov plant found that not a single mowing machine or binder had been turned out although the pro- gram called for 100 mowers and 110 binders. Some of the trouble 8 attributed to sabotage, but it is generally admitted that unskilled workers are to blame, item ore The World Depression Auckland Weekly News: No greater mistake can be made than to imagine that the world depression was pro-| duced by mechanical forces too mys- terious to be explained. .A combina- tion of many causes, active over a long period, culminated in the depression, but they are all indentifiable as human errors, in which Governments and peo- ples have persisted In spite of warn- ings of inevitable consequences. Re- covery will not be achieved by resting in the security of dogmatic theories, but by repairing the mistakes in pub- lic and private conduct by which the world has again been plunged into mis- fortunes exactly similar to the bitter «experiences of successive generations in the past. ----™ Oiepfpp)p Ln Exports of Canadian Butter Montreal Presse: Canadian butter is again entering the British market. We still have a long way to go be- fore we recover the ground we have lost in the matter of exports to Great' Britain. In 1906 sales of Canadian butter in England amount- .ed to §73,449 boxes, or 32,113,144 pounds, whilst in 1930 no" more than 163 boxes were dispatched. The fact 1s that we have practically lost our foothold in the British market since the War, New Zealand and Denmark having captured our posi tion. BE Reduction in World's Wheat Acreage Forecast 'Washington.--A reduction in world. wheat acreage outside Russia and China for the 1031-32 season was said br the Department of Agriculture to be definitely in prospect, the decrease approximately 2 per cent. and the total producing area aggregating ,865,(00 eves, as against 185,278, acres last year. | Irwin, | ! possible to sit at tables and eat with | pan-cakes with syrup, The Willingdons in India Bombay Times of India--In taking up the task that Lord Irwin has lald down, Lord Willingdon has great qual- itles that will serve him well. If we could only all join together, said Lord "in a single united effort we should already be more than half-way to success." That surely is work for the leadership of which Lord Willing- don is peculiarly fitted, for he showed in Bombay during the war a rare and distinctive genius for getting men to make that "single united effort"; and it is, too, work to which we hope Lady Willingdon, who 1s as welcome to India as the new Viceroy, may devote her great ability. Japanese Sit at Table To Eat, Amercian Style During the last ten years Japan has turned to foreign-style restaurants with such keen interest that it is now knives, forks and spoons in more than: 3,000 such eating places in Tokyo; there are more than 21,000 throughout the country. Ten years ago only foreigners ate at such restaurants, to escape the dif- ficulties of sitting on a restaurant floor and eating with chopsticks, Now Japanese are the patrons of shops which sell doughnuts, coffee, ice cream and ham and eggs, American style. ----il Australian Telephone Gain Australia 1s steadily improving its position in the list of countries show- ing the most rapid advance in' the use of the telephone, and government sta- tistics show that it now occupies sixth place, with 793 telephonas per 1,000 of population, Officials regard this as highly satisfactory in view of the country's great area and distribution of population, and the average length of wire required to provide a sub- scriber's service. The average length of wire to a telephone in Australia is 45 miles, compared to 3.4 in the United States, 3.4 in New Zealand and 29 in Canada. ---------- Car Loadings in Canada Ottawa --The downward movement in the volume of car loadings on Cana- dian railroads was halted in the week | ended May 16. With a total of 60, 468 cars, loadings were 738 cars above the previous week, although 12,109 cars below the corresponding week in 1930. The large gain in the week was in coal, which advanced 1,067 cars, while grain moved up 384 cars. Losses were recorded by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics In other kinds of freight, the largest heing in merchandise, down 449 cars. aii ltt Buys Registered Sheep Abbotsford, British Columbia.--John McKee, a farmer of the Abbotsford distriot, has just. bought twenty-one head of registered Oxford sheep from | the Unirersity of British Columbia | farm.
