He is shown here ’ Let‘s Consider Policy What can a â€"Group paper do? Well, what do you want it to do? It can build Troocp and Pack morale; it can arouse Patrol competition; is can stimuâ€" late and recognize individual advanceâ€" ment. It can help the Troop or Pack that‘s just getting started by selling the Troop program to the boys; it can lkce:ep interest alive in a woll orzanized or large Troop or Pack recording the many activities constantly in progress; it can instill pep into the Group that is slipping. It can be a news organ of future Group activities, report past events, serve as a current, Troop hisâ€" tory. On the other hand, it can be a magazine full of Scoutcraft and handiâ€" craft articles not luplicated in other Scout publications, (It can be the mouthpiece for the Scoutmas.sr or Group Committee; it can help infersst the parents in the g}roup. It can mould Group opinion, build up Troop and Pack spirit. It can be the activity of a Patrol; it can be the hobby of a single Scout with an interest in jourâ€" nalism. What do you want your paper to be? What is it to accomplish? Deâ€" cide.. Put your aims in writing and your first editorial is written. MHow to Pay Fdr_ it A Group paper can do many things, ‘but don‘t expect it to make money. Some few will, of course, but that should not be its chief goal. Payment or how to finance the paper is the second main decision. Your paper will probâ€" ably be duplicated on a hectograph or mimeograph which your sponsoring inâ€" stitution possesses and will be glad to etc. As the paper is doing something for the group the editors to:group coâ€"operation. This can best let you use. Of course, you‘ll have to are achieved without effort so maybe ‘establishing a good Group paper is not exactly a bed of roses. But only thoss fail which are started or conducted in a haphazard manner. Porestall the headach>s by soiving the three probâ€" lems before you and there is no reason that the paper will not be a success, a source of satisfaction to you and achieve a worthâ€"while purpose for the Group. Decic> the qusstions of Policy, Payâ€" ment, Personnel and half the baittle is "Let‘s Get Out a Troop Paper‘" As you say "Fine, it‘s a great idea. Let‘s go," but ‘bear in mind that a Trcop (or a Group) paper which is ‘backed by more than snthusiasm alone, will achieve praminence and permanâ€" ence, will become a real activity, will play a major part in successful history ofgthe troop and Pack.

In some instances papers started as Patrol projects have grown into Group papers of which the entire Troop and Pack are proud. A group also gives the paper conâ€" tinuous existence. As one editor grows up, a new one is available already trainâ€" ed to take‘his place. Your paper thereâ€" fore carries on. The new editor follows the established policy and : payment plans devoting his ideas and efforts to a constant improvement. The paper is now one of the Troop‘s major activities. ‘‘There. is competiâ€" tion for the position of reporters and the post of editor is occupied by one of You may khave to se‘sct an editor, preferably a Sccut who â€"has been a member of the Troop for several years and who knows Scouting.. He must have enthusiasm, Troop spirit and orâ€" ganizing ability. If he has these, he‘ll larn {o write in time by observation, readinz of newspapers and magazines and actual practice. The same is true of the editor‘s ability to master the hectosgraph or mimeograph. It‘s all a questicn of practice. While he should be able to to and probably will have to do considerable writing, his main job is to edit the writing of others. So let him have plenty of assistants, help from Scout reporters help with the pubâ€" lishing. Editing a Group paper should not take up all the Scouting time of the staff, A group can get out a betâ€" ter paper, quicker and cheaper than one boy buying the paper and supplies; writing the editorials; news items and jokes; publishing the paper, distributâ€" inz it and seeing that he gets Nis money from the Troop. Now that ycu have a policy and know how the paper is to be paid for, who‘ll edit it? The answer is, pr¢bably, the fsllowâ€" who originally said, "Let‘s get out a Group paper." In many instancâ€" es he will be the moving spirit behind the idea, will see this one and that one about details, do a hundred and one small jobs until it is agreed that a troop paper will be published. Someâ€" times he won‘t wait but will get out the first few issues on his own hook, and count on the Troop to take up his enâ€" thusiasm and help him out. If s0, policy and payment should be decided as quickly as possible. ted when the paper is new, soon ‘beâ€" comes accepted as the proper procedure. If the paper has been given free for a while and then a charge is established the readers may resent havinz to pay for something they have become acâ€" customed to receive for nothing. Money may be raised to support the paper by a show or other similar ideas, or the staff of the paper may duplicate forms for the sponsoring institution of local business men to defray expenses. Last, and in this case by all means least, is advertising. Most Group paper advertâ€" ising is a gift or a goodâ€"natured holdâ€" up and therefore not to be desired, If you can‘t see your way clear to use Troop fiunds, two or three cents per copy may be charged on delivery of each issue to the Scouts and Cubs at their meetings. This has the usual disâ€" advantages when money has to be taken in and records kept, but if startâ€" be given in the form of a guarantee that the paper will not be discontinued for the lack of funds.

Peter Heenan, minister of lands and forests, tald the delegation that every available dollar is being spent for reforestation and fire protection. He mentioned that last year was a record one in keeping bush fires down. The only serious bush fire in 1988 occurred in the Rainy River district. Another resolution presented to the cabinet members pertained to timber conservation. . The resolution stated that the forests of Ontario.will produce revenue for all time if reasonable care is taken to combat loss of timber. Inâ€" creased reforestation and fire protecâ€" tion were urged and said every effort should be made to impress upon the people the importance of conservation.

The suggestion was well received. e‘ The growth of Northern Ontario and national unity would both be aided by colonization efforts in this section of the province, the deputation claimed. ‘"‘The Quebec plan was considered and the ministers agreed that it seemâ€" ed to be working out exceptionally well for the most part," Mr. McDonald stated. "They also agreed that the plan <being ~developed in Southéern Onâ€" tario might reasonably be extended: to the North on a larger scale."

"I believe it will receive conâ€" sideration and that something will come of it." 6 It is primarily a plan to reduce reâ€" lief lists.
