The troop wishes to say "Thank You" to &e many parents and friends for the interest shown in Scouting and for turning out so well last Friday for our "Open Night." We were pleased to welcome District Commissioner Ray Leonâ€" ard, Mr. Bob Beale, a former Scoutâ€" master of 1st Weston, and Mr. Harrison, chairman of Humber Valley district committee. Early in the program, Mr. Macdonald, chairman of our group committee, presented the troop with a new First Weston flag. ge believe it is only the second in The nineteen years of our history. Mr. Leonard presented King Scout badges to Doug White and Bob Williams. Gold cords, the first in Humber Valley district, were awarded to Don Laing and Buddy Kelloway by Mr. Harrison. John Cooper received his second class and two proficiency badges. . 1st Weston Troop PHONE ZONE 4â€"514 © Fargo Dealer LY. $428â€"9â€"0 i~ _S’coa ting in > Weston | _ Working with the help of flashâ€" ‘lights, the Scouts strung their tents between trees, and improâ€" ‘vised means to fasten down the guyâ€"lines. The Scouts «lidn‘t know what temperatures they would run up against during the night, |so they came equipped with canned ‘heat. These they used to cook their suppers, and at the same \time warm up the tents. However, ‘canned heat does not last very ]long, and they soon were climbing [into their sleeping bags for \warmth. _ Our friend in making these statements could not have been aware of the work of our Scouts in Canada. They have among their Proficiency badges, a Cook badge. To earn it a Scout must have a knowledge of a camp kitâ€" chen, with open fire and other necessities and prepare therein the following dishesâ€"Stew, roast meat, vegetables, scrambled eggs, milk pudding, stewed fruit, or any dishes which the examiners may consider equivalent _ Make tea, coffee, cocoa and a dampen or twist. And the Scout must also know how to store provisions in a hygienic manner in camp. From the start, a boy is taught to the best of the Scouters knowâ€" ledge, the art of adaptability and being able to accomplish the little things, that our friend ridiâ€" cules such as his cooking surely must, possibly without his knowâ€" ing it, muster within himself, the patience and fortitude which is another meaning for Scouting. Is it not? St. John‘s Fourth Weston Experiments in Winter Camping Two patrol leaders, two patrol secongs, and the Scoutmaster of St. John‘s Fourth Weston Troop spent last Saturday night sleeping in the snow in a bush near Mount Royal. It was something new in outdoor Scoutingâ€"not something a Troop of Scouts would try, but something in which these leaders wanted some experience. . _ The assistant Scoutmasters, Ross Boyle and Burt Avery, and myself, deeply appreciate the coâ€"operation of the group committee, Ladies‘ Auxiliary, parents and friends in helping to make/ First Weston‘s "Open Night" a real success. â€"Thumperfoot. More often than not, one is taken for granted or possibly ignored, but your humble servant wishes to say thanks, yes, thanks heaps, his column was actually missed last Thursday. _ | I would like to show you how falsely we have been accused_by this man. He was rash enough to say this: s s "The boys are taught how to cook meat, bread and potatoes, without the aid of any utensils beâ€" cause this is considered a virtue. But it results only in charred and foulâ€"tasting foods and is seldom tried more than once or twice. Thereafter the average Scout is a walking delicatessen store, when he goes outdoors, and practically no effort is made to teach him how to prepare light and easyâ€"toâ€" carry foods in normal utensils." Scouts and Scouters have been aroused by an editorial &ublilhed in a March issue of a Magazine Digest written by a person calling himself an outdoor man, a sportsâ€" Not only did they get experience, but they had a lot of fun with no ill effects. 0 e The quintet â€" Patrol Leaders Hal Johnstone and Don Ross, Patrol Seconds Dave Plewes and Ron Weir, and the Scoutmaster, J. Alan Pyers, started on the cross country hike on skis at 3.45 p.m., with three meals, sleeping equipâ€" ment and two scoutmasterâ€"style tents. The sleeping equipment and tents were packed onto two tobogâ€" gans. _ The group travelled in single fileâ€"the first one broke the trail and found the most direct route. He was followed by one pulling a toboggan, then his assistant, the second toboggan, and his assistant. Each person took his turn in the different posiâ€" tions. The proposed camping site was not reached on the Saturday night. Seven o‘clock found the party in darkness on top of a high hill overlooking the valley in Mount Royal. As it was too dark to risk skiing down the hill, three of the party walked down while the reâ€" maining two climbed aboard the packed toboggans and did their best to guide the loads safely to the bottom. Some lord of the bush resented the intrusion of the Scouts and set up the most eerie yelling that could be imaginable in a bush in winter It sounded like some lunaâ€" tic standing up in the hills shoutâ€" ing. A search in the morning did not reveal the bird. What about the night‘s sleep? We will leave that to your own imagination, but morning finally did come, and so did breakfast, and the breaking of camp. It was not until 2.35 that they slarted the hike back home. Much to their dismay, mahy of the snowâ€"covered fields that the boys had crossed the day before were now fields of grass and mud. New routes had to be taken, and the trip back was slow and tedious. By 4.30 they reached the corner of _ Jane and Wilson and phoned P.S. Ken Weeks in Weston that they would not be at the Court of Honour meeting that had been sreviously called for at that time. ut a word from Mrs. Weeks changed their plans. With renewed hopes they headed for the Court of Honour and â€" a _ sumptuous supper. _ â€" After the supper the Court of Honour was held with the other junior leaders of ‘the troop. On top of the experience and enâ€" gained by the Scouts, the d '"lgob li:: sto lldd. ou a good couting Don, Dave, and Ron." After all equipment was careâ€" fully hidden, the party started off on the remaining portion of the journey. They reached their desâ€" tination â€" a beautiful valley (we dare not tell you where) that the other three Weston Troops will be visiting on Good Friday. / By noon> they were back at Mqunt Royal cooking dinner; Obediently yours, Ross. The report of the Commission which was held in 1942 was % tabled in the House. In July, 1 Mr. George A. Drew wrote a letter to the Prime Minister criticising the report and in due cof the Government was asked ::.’ublo this letter. . Recently General Maitâ€" by has made his report to the Imâ€" perial Government in connection with the Hong Kong incident,,Folâ€" lowing the disclosure of the conâ€" tents of this report the leader of the opposition on January 29th reâ€" quested the Government to table Mr. Drew‘s letter and subsequently on February 9th gave notice of motion for a copy of the evidence taken before the Duff Commission. The Prime Minister informed the House that in order to comply with either of these requests it would be necessary among, all conli-tcr ations to ascertain whether the Government of the United Kingâ€" dom was prepared to withdraw its objections to the publication of certain communications which had been . ade available to the Comâ€" mission on the express understandâ€" ing that they would not be made public. On February 20th the Prime Minister informed the House that m reply had been received to the effect that if the Canadian Govâ€" ernment wished to publish teleâ€" grams relating specifically to the despatch of the two Canadian Battalions to Hong Kong the United _ Kingdom Government would raise no objections provided the telegrams were paraphrased to avoid compromising the secret cipher, With regard to the teleâ€" grams which related to the interâ€" national situation in the Far East the United Kingdom authorities regretted that they could not agree to the publication of any of those on the ground that they belonged to a class of communication formâ€" ed on the basis that they would not be published, the United Kingâ€" dom expressing the opinion that the whole system of full and frank communication between _ governâ€" ments of the commonwealth would be prejudiced if telegrams of this nature had ‘to be prepared on the basis that they might eventually be published. In view of the great publicity of the Vm.m governâ€" vhichhuhmmuthw- ment 1e the publication of tion of the copy of the| theâ€"secret communications made evidence taken before the Duff|available by the Unlited Kingdom Commission in connection with desâ€"| government to ‘ the commission. patching Canadian Armed Forces| The letter has been found to conâ€" to Hong Kong and the suggestion uinmnlulmuzuu- that an effort is being made to | tents of one of the which hold some otmoflmhflltfg‘"‘“mw might be of interest to refer to| P¢ UuWiMng to have made public. the original record as disclosed in Hmurd5 in connection therewith. The communications relating to the international situation in the Far East which the United Kingâ€" dom authorities are still unwilling to have published were at the time of the investigation considered so secret that they were seen only by the commissioner and by counsel in a conference of which it was unâ€" derstood that no record was to be kept. The copy of the evidence taken before the commission does not therefore include any of the communications to the publication of which the government of the United Kingdom objects. They, however, formed an inâ€" tegral part of the material on which the Commissioner, Sir Lyâ€" man Duff, the then chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, based his report and who stated his conclusion in these wordsâ€""My conclusion is that, having regard to the information of which the government was in possession, derived from the best sources of inâ€" formation open to them, nothing emerged before the departure of the expeditionary force on the 27th October which could have been considered to be a justification for the withdrawal by Canada from the responsibility she had underâ€" taken." â€" The letter from Mr. George A. Drew was not tabled on the advice of George A. Campbell, K.C., of Montreal, Government counsel in the enquiry. The following extract from Mr. Campbell‘s opinion might be of interest: "At the conclusion of the hearing for the taking of testimony in this matter, and some days before the date fixed for comâ€" pletion of the hearing of oral argument, all counsel concerned reâ€" ceived notice from the commissionâ€" er requiring them on the day of the final hearing of oral argument to deliver up to the secretary of the commission any and all transcripts of evidence, exhibits and copies thereof, written arguments and copies thereof, notes of evidence and any and all other writings and documents relating in any way whlt.:oever to the matters in quesâ€" tion." "It appears from Mr. Drew‘s communication that it purports largely to be based upon his writâ€" ten argument to the commissioner, of which presumably therefore he retained a copy in his possession. In his letter he gives a number of verbatim _ quotations from_ the transcript of evidence and exâ€" hibits." "Mr. Drew‘s letter purports to give the effect of a number of confidential _ communications _reâ€" ceived by the government of Canâ€" ada from the government of the United Kingdom, the disclosure of which was only consented to by the governnient of the United Kingdom subject to a specific cenâ€" dition that the disclosure was to be limited to the commissioner and counsel only, and solely for the purpose of the inquiry; and the commissioner was not permitted to reproduce . these â€" communications "If therefore, Mr. Drew‘s comâ€" munication is tabled by you before the House of Commons I am of the opinion that you will be violating a condition under which the govâ€" ernment of the United Kingdom consented to the disclosure to the commissioner and counsel of those telegrams." & in his report. Any disclosure, therefore, even to the House of Commons, would in my opinion be a violation of the substance of that condition." On February 24th in a statement to the House Hansard page 1550 the Prime Minister said as follows "Mr. Drew‘s letter has now b: examincd in the light of the i TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON A, J. P. CAMERON, K.C. On March 1st, 1948, the Ottawa. Evening Citizen published whlt} purported to be a series of quotaâ€" tions from Mr, Drew‘s letter of July 11, 1942. On a question of privilege the Prime Minister in Hansard page 1771 stated as folâ€" lows: "The press report, apart from other allegations, contains certain statements respecting myâ€" self as Prime Minister which are not in accord with the facts. With respect to Hong Kong, it.is in efâ€" fect alleged that after the governâ€" ment of Japan changed on Oetober 16, 1941, and before the expedition sailed on October 27, I received messages from the United Kingâ€" dom government in the nature of the most complete warning of the probability of early hostilities. Not only is such a statement not corâ€" rect, but the fact is that both beâ€" fore and after the expedition sailâ€" ed and, indeed, until the very eve of the Japanese attack, such inâ€" formation as I received from the British authorities was to the efâ€" fect that an early attack upon Hong Kong was not anticipated. In my opinion, such information as the Canadian government received, at the time, from the British auâ€" thorities is in complete accord with the finding of the commissioner, Chief Justice Duff, in his report, namely, that "the best informed opinion available to the Canadian authorities was that hostilities would not arise in the near fuâ€" ture." Mr. Drew commented on this statement by saying "in seekâ€" ing to convey the impression that he was unaware of the threat of early war in the Pacific prior to the departure of the Hong Kong forces in October, 1941 Prime Minâ€" ister King has piled falsehood on falsehood." On March 1st Hansard page 1724 the Prime Minister reported that in response to his request for reconsideration the British authorâ€" ities had replied saying that they had reviewed their decision careâ€" fully but regretted that they were unable to change the decision prevâ€" iously made. "Mr. Drew may decide forâ€"himâ€" self whether he wishes to break the confidence imposed in him and to disclose information which the government of the United Kingâ€" dom wishes to have kept secret." The Government has assumed full lre:g:ndbility for not tabling the etter. On the same date Hansard page 1552 Honourable C. G. Power is quoted as follows: "Under pirose circumstances I feel that I cannot do anything else but ask the Prime Minister to request the British government to review its decision and have it produce every available bit of evidence. I shall be most unhappy if every despatch, every report and every item of evidence is not laid before the people of Canada." â€" The Prime Minister concurred in the suggestion of Mr. Power and promised to communicate with the United Kingdom Government quotâ€" ing his words and adding his own to the effect that Canada would be pleased if the recommendation tould be carried out. which ‘this telegram was made available to theâ€"commission, the Cnudhuxovomthunohwla but to .decline to table the letter. Continued from page 8â€" "Dangling Man" a novel which reâ€" ceived high praise when it was published in 1944, Bellow has taken the somewhat battered theme of anti;Semitism and treated it to a new twist, with more than averâ€" age authority, "The Victim" is a rather sombre little novel dealing with a rather complex character, a Jew, Asa Leventhal, who, after rather grim beginnings in dingy hotels and flop houses, manages to land a decent job with a publishing firm, When the story opflm, Asa is temporarily alone in his Manhattan apartment while his wife helps her mother get located in Charlston. An old Gentile friend of his downâ€" andâ€"out days, Kirby Allbee, turns upâ€"dirty, jeering, and halfâ€"drunk. He charges Asa with being reâ€" sponsible for his downfall, a charge that will strike most readâ€" ers as being highly preposterous; but to the guiltâ€"ridden Asa seems Reviewing The Books to have elements of truth. Six years before, Asa had been headâ€" strong enough to throw up a civil service job in Baltimore to take his chances in New York and had been lucky enough to land the position with the publishing firm that he still held. During the period when he was jobâ€"hunting, one of Asa‘s interviews had been with the boss of â€" Kirby Allbeeâ€"an _ interview which Alibee had arranged. The man, a particularly rabid antiâ€" Semite, had been insulting and Asa had replied in kind. Now he learns that Allbee had been fired soon afâ€" ter the fatal interview and since then has held Asa responsible. This brief outline doesn‘t do justice to the grim drama with which Bellow illuminates his story. The story of the relationship between the acâ€" cuser and the accused is tense and active; and will hold the reader in its grip until the final chapter. Saul Bellow writes with penetrating inâ€" sight and you feel that he knows and _ understands his characters and has the happy faculty of vivâ€" idly portraying them to the reader. For those who like to skim the cream off their reading, there is plenty to the "Victim" to keep| them interested,, For the reader who probes his reading for ideas, this book will present him with a moral and intellectual problemâ€" that of man‘s responsibility for the ills of the worldâ€"which will give vou food for thought for considerâ€" ch!~ t‘me to come, Whichever way | < * "~ vour reading. vou will | " Now‘s novel "The Vie l onl ahe ibing. ‘ of children like the one pictured aboveâ€"a far ery from the children séen in Canads.
