a plan after the war or whether, inâ€" terest would wane. The value of the Air Cadets as a builder of good citizâ€" enship seemed to be generally agreed. Several of the members took part in the discussion of the boys‘ camp idea including W. O. Langdon, H. Puke. E. H. King, P; T. Moisley, F.â€"A. Burt, F. McDowell and others. Mr. Mcâ€" Dowell, a former chairman of * the committee in charge, pointed out that the health of the boys had been greatly helped when the camp was running, some of them gaining as much as thirâ€" teen pounds in weight in a couple of weeks. P. T. Moisley said that the expectation was that the Air Cadets should continue after the war" So far as the club was concerned they had a considerable investment in the movement, but the chief expense was passed and maintenance would not be so serious. H. Fuke wanted to know if the camp could be used by the Boy Scouts and Cubs, especially the latter, and the reply was that the club would be glad to have any Oorâ€" ganization use the camp for boys. The Girl Guides had already used it as had some other roups. : As the Boy Scouts did not want to use the buildings but to camp out with tents the site was not ideal for them. It was pointed out that some of . the equipment had been disposed of, Jack Fulton mentioned that the buildings needed repainting and it was difficult to keep them in proper shape when they were not in use. He thought it woulid be well if as many of the club members as possible would visit the camp and see things for themseolves. wW. O. Langdon emphasized the fact that one of the chief objectives of the club was the helping of the underprivâ€" ileged boys and that this should be kept in mind all the time. The consensus of opinion | seemed to be that the situation in regard to the boys‘ camp should be studied with a view to action that would best fit the purpose of the club in the mati@r. At the luncheon on Monday Presiâ€" dent Frank Bailey was in the chair. The commilnitvy singing was led by war, conditions had altered and the question now was what was the best line of action for the present and after the war was over. Much t:ime and effort had been given to the Boys Camp and considerable expense enâ€" tailed, yet the results had seeined to make it well worth while. There were four buildings on the property, each of which accommodated eight boys Also there was a directors‘ camp and a commodious dining hall, The ac commodation was sufficient to provid: for 32 boys at a time. When the camp was organized the idea was t( provide health and recreation for unâ€" derprivileged boys. The difficulty in getting the proper director and the necessary leaders had been increaset by war conditions.. For the past few years the camp had been dormant. The Air Cadet movement had more or less taken the place of the boys‘ camp idea as a means of helping the boys. Mr. Kinkel asked in regard to the future of the Air Cadets and whether it would be conducted on as.extended W. Rinn announced that curlers had an opportunity to do some curling at the event on April 26th and 28th at the MciIntyre curling rink. He poinced out that it was not necessary to be a member of the MciIntyre club or even to have done any curling before to take advantage of this opportun.ty. Any who wanted to curl should get in touch with Bill Rinn or Jack Fulton.' Both Bob Mennie and E. H.

Also it was pointed out that there were certain distinct requirements before new routes were opened. These inâ€" cluded sidewalks or good roads along the route, labelled streets, numbered houses, and mail slots in doors. Ail of these requirements had not be¢n fully met on some of the routes now in service, and it was suggested that aU these points be covered while waiting for the new routes.
