Will you please thank members for the interest they have taken in the comâ€" Yours truly, Cr20. J. Debney, M.S.M., Field Secretary, for the Secretaryâ€" Treasurer. Last year Timmins Divisicn of the St. John Ambulance Brigade won first place in the competition for the Hon. Chas. McCrea trophy for first aid work. This year Timmins has to be content with third place, while the McIntyre team comes second by one pijint over the Timmins team. The rules of the competition for this trophy do not alâ€" low a winning team one year to comâ€" pete the next year. Accordingly, the Timmins team that won last year could not enter the comtest this year. There had, according to the rules, to be two new members on the 1931 team. This added to the diffculty of the Timâ€" mins team as the new men had to be practiced and on account of shift work were not able to practice as much as they would have desired. However, it must be admitted that to come so close a third the Timmins team did unusualâ€" ly well. The members of the 1931 Timâ€" mins team were:â€"Supt. Thos. Richards, Fred Jazkson, B. Ach and M. Madden. The McIntyre teams, cf Schumacher, are to be congratulated on their fine showing in this contest. McIntyre team No. 2 won second place, and Mcâ€" Intyre team No. 1 had fifth place. The following letter from the headâ€" quarters for Ontario of the St. John Ambulance Brigads, whose. ausâ€" pices the contests are held each year, gives the list of winners, etc:â€" Toronto, June 11:h, 1931 We were able to do considerable reâ€" lief work this last two weeks, considerâ€" able money being spent in this week. The Week of Wonders is to bolster up our relief fund for the ensuing winâ€" ter so everyone must work hard t>o make this event a‘"success. All coccainut throwers should get in pracâ€" tice for the cocoaâ€"nut shy, as our good C:mrade Tom Parsons has some special cocoanuts in view for his cocoaâ€"nut shy this year. Someone suggested that Tom glue the nuts to the stand, but as Tom says, we give value for money, sc all get in line for the cocoaâ€"nut shy. Comrade Cowan our rink manager says he has seen a different kind of grease than we used last year. This grease is so slippery that I think the pig catchers will have a slippery time. Just a word to the bingo and wheel boys:â€"You have only short time to practice so get your voices in tune for Week of Wonders. The comrades will have to excuse this short letter, and just as a remindâ€" er, the end of June is the end of the quarter and the first of July will bring due no:lices and suspension notices to those who have forgotten the Legion. The dues ~thatâ€"come in before June 30th the more the branch will save in stamps. Our mobtto is service. All remittances will be acknowledged by return of post. â€"By the Secretaryâ€"Treasurer. G.

By the Secretaryâ€"Treasurer "It is gratifying to think that so fine a movement as that of the Boy Scouis has captured the imagination of the yeouth of the world and has become so truly international. For Canada it is peculiarly fitted, as the campcraft which it teaches is so well suited to our geographical conditions. Nothing can be better than its gospel of selfâ€"reliâ€" ance, selfâ€"respect, unselfishness and the pledge to help others whatever it may cost; moreover, it appeals to the boy, as he gets a lot of fun out of this process of developing the spirit of true sportsmanship. The qualities inculâ€" cated are the qualities of the good citizen and one is not surprised that anocther name for a good citizen is "a goxdi scout." From E. W. Beatty, president the Boy Scouts‘ Association :â€" t> having many occasions, during imy term of office, of becoming acquainted both with Canadian Scouts and Canaâ€" dian Scouting and observing their proâ€" gress. It is most gratifying to me, as Chief Scout, to know that E. W. Beatty has consented to undertake the imâ€" portant duties of president of the Asâ€" sociation. With all my heart, I wish the new president and Boy Scouts of Canada every ossible success." The following is an article from Satâ€" urday Night concerning our new Chief Scout and presiden‘t:;:â€" > "FTew movements have retained viâ€" tality under all sorts of conditions in the same degree as that of the Canaâ€" dian Boy Scouts‘ Association.

Understand, though, that this cannot be done withâ€" out practice. The secret of lifeâ€"saving is to make the water carry the weight as far as possible. A very slight efâ€" fort in the water will suflize to keep yourself or another afioat and the body of‘an unconscious person can often be brought up from the bottom in reasonâ€" able depths with comparatively little effort and consciousness restored through wellâ€"directed efforts on shore. In salt water the human body is more buovant than it is in fresh water. Next week these remarks will be conâ€" tinued with the first steps in lifeâ€"saving which is another thing the boy of scouting age will learn when he joins a Boy Scout tro>p. is an argument against removal of speed limits on highways. If the death probability is great on speciallyâ€"built courses, where drivers are more exâ€" perienced, and where their cars are thoroughly tested before they are taken out, it is tremendously greater on the public road for the average driver in the average car. From His Excellency the Rt. Hon. the Earl of Bessborough, Chief Scout for Canada :â€"â€" Mr. E. W. Beatty, president of the C.P. R., to accept the presidency of the Canadian Assciation. Mr. Beatty‘s adâ€" vent to that office is signific¢ent inasâ€" much as it is a recognition by a most eminent and able Canadian of the imâ€" portance of this national movement. In times like these when humanity is unsettled by the pressure of unusual economic conditions an organization whose rrimal aim is to give sound diâ€" rection to boys at the most impresâ€" sionable period of their lives, is of proâ€" found importance. Those familiar with the unique career of Mr. Beatty as a boy and a man are well aware that the Boy Scout movement is one that makes an especial appeal to his temperment. No association could have a better ideal than the sound development of charâ€" acter in those who will direct Canada‘s affairs in the next generation." ded on the track while going at 104 miles an hour.

"The story of "All Quist" is based on the experience and observations of Remarque who went to the front as a schoolboy. Every character is authenâ€" tic and every incident. Critics have proclaimed the grim realness of‘ the book the secret of its recordâ€"breaking success and it is this powerful appral that Universal has brought to the screen. _ "In his own words, Remarque wrote "All Quiet" to free himself from the memory of the war. It was only after he had completed the novel that he tried to sell it. He wrote simply setâ€" A review of the ricture, "All Quiet on the Wes‘ern Front," says, in part:â€" "Universal presents "All Quiet" as a super picture produced and directed with the aim of carrying the greatness of the book to the screen, truthfully and withou; magnification, maintaining all the powerful drama and intense huâ€" man interest of thea Remarque narrative. There is a stirring sequence of romanâ€" tic appeal, in which Remarque‘s school boy soldiers have a midnight rendezvâ€" ous with ithe French girls across the canal. This is as Reomarque wrote it and i; is a beautiful interlude of young love in the midst of war. "Lewis Milestone, one of the youngâ€" est and most prominent directors in directed "All Quiet."
