The boys at dinnertime practised making twist over an open fire with more or less success. Some were a little scorched and others a little doughy but #all seemed edible to the hungry Scoutâ€" ers. The trip home was made in record timeand was uneventful except when Scout Fitzgerald endeavoured to make a pet of a fullâ€"grown mouse only to find that fullâ€"grown mice don‘t wish to be Sunday‘s Weather Fine Sunday morning broke fine and soon shouts of "Where‘s the jam?" and "Give us some more porridge!" filled the air. Mter prayers and inspecton by Scouter Lacy, (which the Beavers won) the boys packed grub for a four mile hike to Night Hawk lake to look over a proposed camp site. After a hearty breakfast the boys cleaned up for inspection. The Ow! patrol received the honour patrol flag for the day. The morning was spent in Scouting practice. After a hearty dinner of hunter‘s stew the boys went 10 the wood with exâ€"3ssouter Moore and were soon being shown some of the finer points of felling, sawing and chopping trees. A few blisters were exhibited with pride after the practice. After supper some of the boys endeaâ€" vyoured to become Isaac Waltons, but the finny tribe was too elusive. They returned empty handed. The day closed with a wellâ€"earned and unbroken rest. On Friday afternoon at 5.0 p.m. six«â€" teen Scouts of the 6th Timmins troop bundled with packs into the cars of W. O. Langdon, Dr. N. H. Russell and R. R. Beattie and left with their Scoutâ€" master for Hoyle where they camped for the weekâ€"end. Upon arrival at their destination on Shillington Road they immediately lit fires and made tea to wash down their pocket lunches. The evening was spent in preparing fireâ€"places, pitching tents and gathering wood and so on. At night, as usual, sleep came late, but the Scouts were up very early, too early in fact, as they found out before the day ended. GHTFUL ©A4RE AND DIGNITY CHARACTERIZE OUK HERVICE S. T.

Possibly the weather for the day orâ€" the morrow is a first matter of interest; and perhaps the main headlines on the front page are scanned ; but it is a pretty safe thing to say that women readers will turn very early to the advertisements of local firms which advertise fashion items, food items, and other offerings related intimately to current needs and desires. Every woman knows what she wantsâ€"not perhaps in the precise form or colour, or variety ‘or manner, but certainly in the main matters of her desire or need. This applies to eclothes, hats, shoes, food items, beauty preparâ€" ations and â€"manyâ€"items pertaining to home furnishing. And so women are eternally on the watch for informaâ€" tionâ€"and for temptation! They are swiftly perceptive of the advertisements which present and propose the things of their desire or need. And obviously it is those retailers who advertise to them who stand the best chance of their custom. It is the same in the case of men. Few men buy impulâ€" sively. When they leave home each day for their place of employment, it is not just to get rid of their money. What they buy is, mainly, something whose purchase has been plannedâ€"clothes or other forms of apparel, hardware items, motoring sundries, shaving and (lother bathroom needs, plants, books and so on. Men, like women, have been reading advertisements in line with their ripening desires and intentions, and of cource they go in largest numbers to those retailers who have been informing them and solicity their custom. All of us, insinetly, go where the light is, not where the darkness is. Advertisements are light, and so they attract the buyers to those stores which they illumine. The way to get business is to ask for it. Can the truth of this statement be suceessfully disputed? And here is another equally true statement: The public buys from those who invite its eustom.

Those who are so ready to ascribe all railway quarrels to the aggressiveness of priâ€" vatelyâ€"owned systems might well recall that this battle for territory was beâ€" satisfied and procesded to apply for authority to extend its Kirkland Lake branch into the new mining field in order to provide reasonably convenient access to Toronto. "A bitter conflict between the two systems then developed and was only ‘The Canadian National Railways imâ€" mediately undertook to serve the disâ€" triot by building a branch line off the National Transcontinental. This branch line afforded a very roundâ€"about route to Montreal and other commercial centres in the province but, as it could be constructed quickly, it was regarded as sufficient for the time ‘being, and the Quebec Government supported the suilding of it.

That action forced the Canaâ€" dian Pacific to take measures to protect its future interest. utilities. "During the years which have since intervened, the Canadian Pacific has made no move to build from Angliers, but a subsidiary company, the Consoliâ€" dated Mining aAnd Smelting Company, has interested itself in the exploration of the mineralized area east of Rouyn and.also north of the line of the Canaâ€" dian National in the Bell River and Chibougamau areas.

With the interâ€" est of the rising generationr centred so strongly on a medium of thoughtâ€"comâ€" munication which requires, of all mediâ€" ums, perhaps the least effort on the part of the recipient, the outlook for intellectual standards does not seem to be particularly hopeful. A New York author has just finished an interesting investigation centring on the status of juvenile interest in radio listening. He questioned 3,345 children in the New York area and found that the great majority of them would rather listen to the radio than listen to a phonograph; or read a book, or play a musical instrument, or solve a puzzle. The number of children involved in this survey, and the variety of homes from which they come, serve to make their answers a reliable crossâ€"section of the average juvenile interest. Ssuch being the case, what are the implications? Sir Ernest MacMillan, in his recent appearance in â€"Winnipeg, gravely warned that the present use of the radio is not so much "use" as supported by government subventions, were into Sudbury to divide the traffic with the Canadian Pacific.
