There 1s an old saying that iu war Great Britain loses every battle but the last one. Apparently the same thing IB true in tbe species of econ- omic welfare from which the world Is suffering today. Great Hrliain carried tbe load for a lout; time. She accept- -d sacrifices no other nation was pre- pared to make. Hir when It came to the pinch, when her own stability was ijreatly threatened, Britishers tallied TO the need as they do In war and fought their way through.

H. \Voods, Managing Director of the Ca! gary Herald" aud Provincial Commis- sioner of the Boy Scouts of Alberta stated at a Baden Powell birthday ban- quet: "Xo individual man lias exerted such u world-wide Influence for good on such a vast number of people of all nations as Lord Bud-n Powell. His name and example will b* remembered when the memory of many of his com- peers has faded into oblivion. It Is indeed a privilege for any man or wo- | man to be associated with such a! movement." Any full-blooded boy should be proud , i.i be a Boy Scout, aud there Is pleuty i of opportunity and room iu the ranks | of the Lone Scouls for boys who wish l r > join the movement. This Week's Scout Law No. 3 A Scout's duty Is to be useful and to help others. At his ii. illation as a Scout, every boy promises his Scoutmaster that, aiming other things, he will "Help other people at all times." Thus It will be seen that oue of the keynotes of the Scout Programme is "Service." to put oneself to inconvenience, and To help someone else often means thus the spirit of unselfishness is fos- tered. We all know what a miserable type is that person who is always too lazy to do anything for another, or who only offers help in the expectation of reward. But the Scout .should always be on the lookout for au op[K>rtunlty to as- sist. He should have no time to be lazy, and of course he helps just be- cause he is a Scout, and has no thought of reward. In useful activity a contented mind is horn. Discontent is only found amongst the lazy and amongst those who have nothing to occupy their time, and Boy Scouts are not to be found in this latter category. Tlie Scout Programme is essentially one of activity, and the boy who fol- lows it thoroughly will soon find that this duty of being useful and helping others will turn into very pli-nnuiit pastime. Scout World Meet to Boost Hungary Hungarians predict that Godollo, near Budapest, will earn a place in history alongside Arrowe I'ark, Kng- land, when tlio fifth world gathering of Boy Scouts is held there next year. They are counting UIKIII the presence of Canadian Scouts. Loue Scouting is open to hoys who cannot join a regular Troop, and is in- tended primarily for those living on rural routes in small villages. The programme is carried on through the mall, and I/one Scouts are iu constant touch with experienced Scout Leaders who assist them lu every way possible. The. "Louies" have opportunities to pass tests and obtain badges, and to attend Scout Rallies and Camps Just as the city Scouts do, and Scouting provides for them a congenial, instruc- tive and healthful spare time activity, j which will help them to fit themselves I for their place in life after they are. grown up.

Practical television within ten years was recently forecast by j Colonel A. \V. Steel technical adviser j to the House of Commons committee on radio. More optimistic forecasts were made by representatives of the' Canadian Association of Broadcasters: wlio added their support to that voiced [ by those who are urging the retention of the system of private ownership of radio broadcasting. H. S. Moore, ' Toronto, leader of the delegation rep-| resenting the broadcasters, suggested : practical television withiu five years; and declared that the proposed seven, 50 kilowatt stations would be of no use in the operation of television. Colonel Steel declared that television used radio channels that were not used by ordinary broadcasting and that the two would not conflict Immigration Ceases In New Zealand Auckland, N.Z. For tbe first time 1 for about 40 years, departures from l New Zealand in 1931 exceeded arriv- als. The Dominion enjoyed a long spell of prosperity prior to the war, and in some years many thousands' of Immigrants arrived from Britain. Owing to the present unemploy- ment, immigration lias practically! ceased, and in HK!1 there were 1.400 more departures than arrivals. The increase in the population last year was only 13,800.

Bridge Too Quarrelsome For Married Folks Says Judge Chicago The bridge expert? finessed Into a blunder when they fn vited Judge Joseph Sabath, famou* divorce court jurist, to make a speecli at a contract tournament. "Bali, bridge." said the judge "that's the game that has caused nearly as many divorces as mother in-laws." Judge Sabath, who has issued more than 50,000 divorces, turned down the invitation and took the op portunity to issue the following state- ment concerning bridge tables, hus- bands and wives: "If a husband aud wife must play brige: although I can't see why they should even want to, they should never be partners. They shouldn't even play at the same table. If they do, there's bound to be fireworks. I have sean countless cases of jangled nerves and serious disagreements re- sult from bridge table arguments. It Is my advice to married people not to play the game at all if they w-ant to stay married. "Marreld folks dou't make good bridge players Tuey'd be better oft if they didn't even try. You'll notice that in a list of the ten best bridge players, if there are any best p'ay ers, at least seven of them are UH married Bridge is all right for bachelors.
