Dog Helps With Paper Salvage : - BILL PARKER and HIS DOG When the Boy Scouts of Port Perry 'have a paper drive the paper is taken to Bill's Barn where it is sorted and weighed into various undies for Hill The Mover. When it is too cold to work in thé barn, Bill loads the paper on a sleigh and jt is taken to the house by Rin Tin Tin, a year old German Sheperd pup. Here we sce them about to take a load of rolled paper back to the barn for storage. Pecularly enough Rin has learned to count and refuses to take more than three loads each way. When unhitched he races for the house where he expects to be paid from the ice box. Father and Son Banquet This year marked the Golden Anni- .versary of Scouting founded by Lord Baden-Powell.

Guides, Scouts, Brown- ies and Cubs to meet at the Scout Hall Stouffville Win Extra Round Play- Off From Port Perry Due to the fact that Port Perry and Stouffville tied in the Round-Robin series, an extra game had to be play- ed. On Saturday afternoon Stouff- ville trounced Port Perry 5-1 in Port. On Monday night in Stouffville the game was tied 2-2, giving Stouffville the round 7-3 and the right to meet Unionville in the second round of the playdowns, Hospita! Auxiliary The Women's Auxiliary held their February meeting on Monday after- noon of this week, and it was most gratifying to the officers to welcome several new representatives to the or- ganization and to have a better-than- average attendance. After &he usual reports the main subject of discussion was the linen re- quirements of the hospital. The amount of linen required to run a hospital is far beyond the uhderstand- ing of the average citizen, and the cost of this commodity is really a major item. The sewing and mending commit- tees have increased their numbers and doubled their efforts in an attempt to keep pace with the needs of the hos- pital; and we. once again thank them for their wonderful contribution. Their time and work are given to the hospi- tal absolutely gratus, and we don't know what we would do without them. At the present time we are procur- ing prices for various materials which will be sewn by our women, and also various articles which we find it cheaper to buy ready-made. The to- tal cost is a bit staggering and if any individual or organization would care to contribute something towards this fund it would be much appreciated. Any representative to the Auxiliary would be glad to accept a donation, or if further information is required you might phone Port Perry 106, or 4563-r-12, at 2 p. m. Your Group Comm.

Pottery decoration at Puebla by native artists and the ruins at Tula are extra attractions for the visitor. Canadian Pacific Photo 'als held on Friday morning. Hats Off fo the Ground Observers Day and night; seven days a week, aircraft flash calls are received at the RCAF Filter Centres throughout Canada from official observers of the Ground Observer Corps. These calls come in from volunteers who report aircraft flying over their observation posts, which are located every few miles apart across the North American continent. The Corps is composed of doctors, lawyers, business men, housewives and students, some 35,000 of them, who operate approximately 5000 oh- servation posts from coast to coast. This represents a tower of strength to the RCAF and the National Defen- ce of our country. Flash Calls report not only aircraft which are using our airways, but also aircraft which seem to be in trouble. On occasion, reports have been called in and RCAF Search & Rescue Operations alerted even be- fore an aircraft touched down. This has served not only many lives, but thousands of dollars in search and rescue operational expense. A few of the people responsible for the Ground Observer Corps operations are: } Air Vice-Marshall L. E. Wray, OBE, AFC, CD, Air Officer Commanding, Air Defence Command; Squadron/L C. E. Harris, DFC, CD, Staff Officer Ground Observer Corps; Flt. Licut. J. E. L. Renaud, CD, Commanding Of- ficer of the Corps in Ontario; Flt. Lt. S. L. Swanton, Detachment Com- mander of the Corps in the Barrie areg; F/O L. J. McGuire, DFC, Field Training Officer for the Barrie area, and others. Then on the local level we have: Chief Observers Bill Baker, ig Perry, Ross Duff, Burketon, and . J. Boe, Seagrave.
