Purely local credenâ€" tials have little value. CGenvine Scout hiking involves an Incidental example of manly selfâ€"reliâ€" ance. Hitch hiking is a complete nogalive of this spirit of Scouting. So real Scouts don‘t hitch hike! A Duck Scramble For Boys . A job that any other Scout Troop would gladly have shared fell to the 4th (Kiks‘ Own) Calgary.Troop when they were called upon by the keepor of the Calgary Zoo to help catch and move the water fow! to new quarters on St. George‘s Island. The birds lost a few feathers, and the Scouts gained a few pecks and scratches, but the job was done. # Assistant Scoutmaster One Spot Edward One Spot, formerly of the old 13th (Killarney) Calgary Troop, is When such pretended Scoutsâ€" call npon Scoutmasters or Scouts seeking free entertainment, a service would be done the movement by securing their names and other particulars, and forwarding these to Provincial Headâ€" quarters. _ Local papers should be adâ€" visod to give no publicity to allegedâ€" Scout hikers claiming to be on a "world tour" or a "coast to coast trip on a wager," etc. Such wagers usualâ€" ly are as imaginary as the Scout conâ€" nection. London‘s Underground railways use up well over two hundred tons of tickets every year. Lone Scouts Don‘t Hitch Hike Although the number was not large, there were last summer several pressâ€" reported instances of alleged Scouts cadging their unscoutlike way across the country-â€"“hltt'h-hlklng." Bona fide Scout hiking is not done or the main highways:; and except in an obvious case ‘of emergency, any boy or man in Scout kit travelling along a highway and looking for a lift may at once be put down as a fakeâ€" scout tramp; and no assistance should be extended. All bona fide oversea foreign Scouts travelling in Canada carry credontials from the International Scout Bureau Among the railway "lost property" last year was a baby which was found in a London waitingâ€"room.

Among the words "banned" on the wireless is the English placeâ€"name Cirencester. This is pronounced "Sisâ€" sister," and so is too sibilant for radio nse. Nearly twentyâ€"six million motorâ€"cars are registered in the United States, the owners paying about £70,000,000 in registration and license fees last year. It is estimated that there are some three and a half million wireless sets in use for which no license is paid. The Post Office thus loses £1,700,000. There was not one death sentence passed in Scotland, nor was there one execution in Scottish prisons, during 1931.

Although blind from birth, the Rev. J. L. Sowden took a high degree at Cambridge, and is now rector and vicar of Freckenham, Suffolk. He reads his sermon and the lessons with his fingers. The explosion of a firearm is dulled to practically the equivalent of the sound of a book closing by a newly inâ€" vented silencer, which will not be put on sale to the general public. This is a "Good Turn‘ which can be done by either Lone Patrols or individâ€" ual Lone Scouts and will be much apâ€" preciated in your local community. Scouts and July 1st Firecrackers Don‘t overlook the July First reâ€" minder that Scouts do not let off fire crackers near homes where there is known to be illiness, nor near hospitâ€" als, old folks‘ homes, etc. Scouts have their firecmcker fun only where the noise will €isturb no one. Among the lectures given in British prisons last year were "A Trip to Kashmir," "With Allenby in Palesâ€" tine," "A Nicht wi‘ Burns, "Peeps at Famous Cities,‘ and " A Trip Through the Highlands."

In building a War memorial on Montfaucon, in the Argonne, the workâ€" ers discovered the foundations of an old castle built in 1076. This fortress was destroyed and reconstructed in the eleventh, thirteenth, fifteenth, sixâ€" teenth and seventeenth centuries. It was also the scene of an American atâ€" tack on an enemy position in 1918. A French version of "Starting to Scout" under the above title has been added to the list of publications issued by Dominion Headquarters. The book, which is simila. in size and in its ilâ€" lustratons to the English verson, was written under the direction of Major A. A.

Unseen in the background, God was shaping t c most unlikely chain of events in order to preserve the child, and to 5t him for the day of deliverance. The daughter of the Pharaoh, attended by her ladiesâ€"inâ€"waiting, came down to the riverâ€"bank at just the spot where the little basketâ€"boat lay floating amâ€" ong the rushes. The princess‘ maids would probably pace the bank back and forth while she was preparing fo: the bath; but when the great lady bathed, her attendants would bathe with her in order to protect her from all dinger.

Golden Textâ€" Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.â€"Proverbs 22: 6. Moses was born at a time when his life was in deadly poril of being forâ€" feit to the frenzy cf the Pharaoh. There seemed, on all human reckonâ€" ing, little hope that he would escape the general oxtermination. At first his mother hid him, until the growing power of his lungs made concealment no longer possible. A mother‘s _ove usually sharpens ber wits and makes her resourceful; but Moses‘ mother was utterly baffied. There was noâ€" thing more she could doâ€"nothing but commit him to the hindly providence of God. To show that the life of her child was beyond hes power and solely in the hand of God, she set him out. or exposed him, on that same river in which Pharaoh had decreed thai the Hebrew baby boys should be 28 Pueblo ruings common in New Mexico and Arizona. Even today, the fast dwindling tribes of the American Indian, still live in such dwellings, carrying on the simple communal life and ceremonials of the past. Rome is endeavoring to increase traffic on the Tiber because of the cheapmess _ of this _ transportation. The railroad deprived the river of its old primacy, but the capital hbelieves it can be restored. Rome.â€"The Tiber is being burdenâ€" ed with more tons of traffic each year as Rome seeks to utilize her water highway to the coast. _ Last year 414 vessels came up to the river and unloaded merchandise that netted the customs office $3,200.000. The previous year ships totaled 278 and the customs receipt $2,700,000. Thoughts The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it. a cwuple of delightful touches. The princess was induced by Moses‘ sister to employ a Hebrew nurse; and the nurse procured was none other than the chila‘s mother! In the good proviâ€" dence of God the mother not only had her child restored to her, but she was actually given wages for nursing her own child by the daughter of the Pharaoch who had decreed that the child should perish! Then, too, there is grim humor in the fact that Muses, _ a _ Hebrew child, _ was brought to live in the palace of the Pharaoh. Through the mysteriâ€" ous providence of God, Pharach, who had decreed the extermination of the Hebrews, was really sheltering one who was to be their deliverer under Cod. The child was obviously givon an Egyptian name. The word "Moses" means in the Egyptian language "son": it occurs frequently in comâ€" pounds _ namesâ€"Thutmoses, _ Ram (o)ses. It sounded similar, howeves, to the Hebrew word for "removed" or "drawn," and was thus understood among the Hebrews. III. tnE cHipn‘s EDUCATION, Acts 7: 20â€"22. The education of Moses in the lore of th: Egyptians became a matter of elaborate speculation among _ later Jews like Philo of Alexandria,. In his address Stephen b=iefly alludes to it. The Egyptologist, Erman, points out that a good Egyptiar education comâ€" prised such things as "moral duties ard good manners, reading. writing, composition and arithmetic," but also such undesirable items as "mythology, astrclogy, magic and superstitions practices in medicine." Doubtless the education Moses received gave him a breadth of view, but much that he had learned in Egypt had to be unlearned before he could become the leader of God‘s people. Losses From Sinking Logs The sinking of logs while being floated to the sawmill is responsible for a considerable annual loss to Canâ€" ada‘s lumber and pulp industries. In a recent year the loss of logs in that industry attributable to the cause just mentioned was estimated to amount to 225,000 cords, valued at about 2.â€" 700,000. Circular 35 issued by the Forest Products Laboratories, Forest Service, Department of the Interior, Ottawa, is a study of one aspect of the situation and suggests means of parâ€" tially overcoming this loss.

Reserved for the enjoyment of all who wish to visit it, it is also a wild life sanctuary, eviâ€" dence of which is manifest in the large number of mountain sheep, deer, and bear to be seen in the areas adâ€" jacent to the highways of the park. The British Broadcasting Corporaâ€" tion has~sent out its last program from its historic headquarters at Saâ€" vo Hill, London, and has moved into more commodious premises at Portâ€" land Place, about a mile farther west. This is likely to . prove an event of cardinal importance in British radioâ€" casting, for work at Savoy Hill was carried on only in the face of great difficulties. Portland Place, however, offers every possible {acility for radivâ€" casting under idea! conditions. 3,500 Motor Cars in Bogota The B. B.

In that time Britâ€" ish radio has acquired a cultural repuâ€" tation second to that of no other radic service in the world; and viewed mereâ€" ly as an entertainiment it stands very high. It introduces millions of listenâ€" ers to the most famous statesmer, actors, thinkers, writers, and scholars of the day, and has perhaps don» more than any other single influence to raise the popular taste in music. It radiocasts regularly all the most ..: portant public functions, from the opening of disarmament conferences to the fighting out of cup finals, And it successfully fivanced the famous Promenade concerts when they were in danger of being discontinued from luck# of sufficient support. All these things are developments of the B. B. C. while it has been at Savoy Hill. Technically also immense progress has been registered during this period. Seven years ago thers were only 1,000,000 licensed receiving sets in Britain; today there are 4,â€" 473,227, representing roughly 20,â€" 000,000 listeners. Its record therefore encourages the B. B.
