EVANS, "Club Work," was a masterpiece, quotâ€" !ed humorcusly from the poets, adapting welilâ€"known lines o different incidents that have occurred between club româ€" bers and their activities, interspersin a few personalities that called fort bursts of app.ause from her victims. Mrs. Gardner‘s paper was Miss Lynch spoke splendidly on "Public Affairs". She is more used to public speaking than some of the ladies, and in her quiet and convincing way |\ held her audience as she told of the ‘things that might yet be accomplished by united endeavour. She specially pleaced Sheir coâ€"operation in making a sidewalk to the Dome so that "some of us" might accomplish sylphâ€"like figures by walking exercise. Miss Lynch gwas given wellâ€"merited applause. Mrs. Fairhurstâ€"on the "Growth of the Club"â€"confined herself to narratâ€" ing in rhyme her reasons for saying |very little, and apologising for nervousâ€" lnc.s. She made a very great hit with I her verse, and her humorous lines were well received. Miss T. Burns and Mrs. R. Vary led community singing before the gusst speaker, Miss Gwen Fowler, gave a most interesting report on her work as Health Nurse here in South Porcupine. She gave statiscics on the tubrrculin tests Ilevely taken in our schools, the toxoiding of children; the preâ€"school clinic and baby clinic established here; and thanked the Kiwanis Club for its support. She also acknowledzed the coâ€"operation received by mothers in her work. Mrs. Maxwellâ€"Smith, whose paper was on "Publicity‘"â€"took Marc Anthony‘s cvation from Shakespeare, remodelling it to suit the requirements of cthe paper, and told of the work accomplished by the club. "They have established something‘ in this town, Have grouped together with one aim in view, nesds." Mrs. Smith credited the club with the improvement made in the hospital grounds, the childrens‘ play ground, the future swimming pool and commun‘\y hall, and ended on a visionary note. Miss Fowler gave reports on her clinic and said that some of her preâ€" Mrs. F. C. Evans spoke on "Juvenile Delinquency‘"â€"and might have gone on with much more as what she said was tense and to the point. Her comment hat fathers should coâ€"operate in the upbringing of their children, and that home training was nceded, gave a point for thought. She also received merited applause.

The hat has been specially designed to give shelter from the sun, | particularly over the back of the neck, iand the four Cints in the crown are to !remind you of the four poirss of the ccmpass. These are almost idenâ€" tical with those worn by the Northwest Mounted Police. However, the Chiefl Ssscout is not very insistent on theso four dents. He has said: "I don‘t mind | very much how many derts he has in his hat, so long as the fellow‘s heart is pointing in the right direction." T don‘s expect that any of you will take advantage of his saying that, and come to mestings witn your haws looking as if you‘d slept in them.

All these mysterious things should have been explained to you when a Tenderâ€" foc:, but I have a fseling that in some troops thess vyory important matters have been somewhat neglected. Naturally you know the meaning of the Scout saluteâ€"the thres fingers reâ€" minding you of th:2 thres points of ‘the Sscout Promiseâ€"and possibly you know that a Scout shakes hands with the left hand, which is the hand nearest the heart. Now take a look at your Scout badge. The Chief Scout is emphatic that this doss not repressnt an arrow or spearkszad, which are emblems of baiâ€" tle and blocdshed, but it is the fleurâ€" deâ€"lis, which was the emblem of the King of Naples, an cmblem of peace and purity. Its points remind you of two thingsâ€"first, the ‘three points of the Scout Promis>; and secondly, the three sections of the Movement (Scouts, Cubs, and Rovers), welded tozether by the band of brotherhood. The Badge is also a symbol of the North poirs; of the compass and reâ€" minds you that Scout is one who alâ€" ways points th> way. On the badge are two fiveâ€"painted stars which remind you of the 10 poin‘s of the Scout Law. And now your ‘uniform. It has been very carefully designed and has a quite definite meaning apart from its hygenic qualities. Now, a brief glance at the Second Class Badge, quite a simple one and fairly free from symbolism except in one poir«, and that is, you will noticae that th> scroil has the corners turned upwards to remind you that the Scou, smile is all important.
