If any Scouts read- ing this column have not received in- formation regarding the picnic they should get in touch with their Scout Master. SECOND TROOP The Second Troop were successful in" borrowing a tent from Thornton's Corners Troop for their camp. Re- ports of the Scout's camp should be available in the next issue. FIFTH TROOP The boys of the Fifth Troop are now in camp and they are looking after themselves in real scout fashion. About 25 boyé are under canvas, Any friends or relatives of the boys in the Fifth Troop who can possibly do so should visit them this week. Their camp can be easily located by following the road East of Taunton about two miles and then watching for the camp signs. Friday night is to be a big might at the camp of the 'Fifth Troop. SIXTH TROOP ; Any boys who are interested in joining the Sixth Troop should get in touch with Mr. A, Fisher either by 'phone or by calling at the head- quarters at the Albany Street Hall of Monday nights. The Sixth Troop nas a summer meeting place which is now being used in the woods at the foot of Nassau Street. FIRST TROOP--THORNTON'S CORNERS Only a few of the Thornton's Cor- ners troop turned out last Friday night. All members of this troop should get in touch with their Scout Master or Troop Leader this week regarding their meeting. This is im- portant as arrangements for the G.M.C. Picnic have yet to be made. & 6th TROOP REPORT "On Monday night the 6th Oshawa Troop met at their usual outdoor meeting place. After the breaking of the flag, etc, semaphore signalling was taken up.

Two of the scouts were then sent a certain distance from camp, there, they wrote a message, which was hid on one of their persons. Their job was to get that message back to camp, while the rest of the troop had to try and intercept and search them. This game proved popular with the boys so it was repeated several times and many clever ways of concealing the messages were used. SURVEY 1 VITAL TO DEVELOPHENT Importance of Geological Work Stressed by- Sir A. T. Kitson Cape Town, Union of South Af- rica, July 31--The importance of geological surveys in the develop- ment of agriculture and water pow- er, in addition to the development of mineral resources, was empsza- sized today by Sir Albert E. Kitson, C.M.C., C.B.E,, director of the geo- logical survey of the Gold Coast Colony, in his presidential address to the geological section of the Bri- tish Association for the Advance- ment of Science. "The importance of the remote possessions of a 'great empire is ae- pendent upon many factors, such as natural resources and their situa- tion, physical character of the country, lines of communication and transport, nature of climate, soils and water supply, density and distribution of population, character of the peoples, conditions regard- ing. agriculture and pasturage' Sir Albert said. "To develop these fully there should be a Government with wide vision and foresight capable of en- ergetic effort, with a broad out- look on possibilities of develop- ment, and ready to assist financial- ly and sympathetically all propos- als that show reasonale prospects of economic success." Sir Albert went on to explain the peculiar problems in the development of the colonies which he said were almost without exception in the tropics and hence presenting great prob- lems 'to the surveyor. He had en- thusiastic praise for the work done in the geological surveys in the British Dominions, especially in Canada. The work done was of the highest order particularly in the field of mining had in his opin- ion benefited Canada immeasureab- ly more than was as yet realized by. it. ? Returning to the colonial genln. gical surveys, Sir Albert expatiated at length on the great economir advantage attached to the proper aa, 48 Simcoe Street, Souths surveyal of mparatively young country, the cataloguing of its wa- ter power resources and the condi- tion.and value of the soil for agri- cultural purposes and the investi- gation of many other factors essen- tial to its rapid development. *"fne numerous interests that need to ne considered in connection with ene development of any country, more or less civilised, involve the estab- lishment of various public depart- ments," he continued, "Those deal- ing with the natural wealth of the country are principally geological survey, mining, veterinary, water- supply and public works. Obviouw ly the most important, so far as re- lates to the investigation of rocks, minerals, fuels, and water supply, is that of geological survey." Water Supply The geological surveyor, he said, was at many points connected with the development, though in every case the connection was not at first obvious. There was the question of water supply. A rather thor- ough knowledge of the neighbour- ing rocks was necessary for com- plete success in the boring of new wells. A 'konwledge of the rocks was also necessary to determine the sanitation of sewage disposals on account of the tendency to seep- age evinced in many localities. A neglect to secure expert testimony in the past had often resulted In the loes of a great deal of money and in the same way the location of filtration plants too close in view of the nature of the soil to the source of water supply had proved the cause of epidemics of typhofd. Passing over the development of mineral resources, the connection of which with geological investiga- tion was quite obvious, the speak- er turned to the bearing of geol- ogy on agriculture. A careful study of the soil of a region often result- ed in vastly increased agricultural production and even in the adap- tation of the country to the pro- duction of new varieties of crops. In another department, that of public: works, Sir Albert said geus= ogy must play an important part. In the first place there was the de- velopment of the water power re- sources of the colony. "This ques- tion," he said, 'may be regarded as quite outside the duties of the ge- ologist. A little consideration, how- ever, will show that the geologist has a great deal to do with it, es- pecially when the question of dum- building and reservoir formation is concerned. For the construc- tion of a dam and the formation of a reservoir for hydro-electrw purposes it is of great importance to know the geology of the area and the nature of the rocks. The geologist has to help the engineer not only with regard to the suit- ability of the rocks at the site or {the dam, but also in the whole area to be occupied by the proposed res- ervoir., When a young colony has no special department and wishes to gather information respecting such water power it has to get hed from another department. What more natural than that this shordd come from the geologist?" Geology, said Sir Albert, also had connection with militagy sci- ence in modern warfare. e quot- ed Professor W. W. Watts from the presidential address delivered in Toronto before the Section in 1924: "It will be readily admitted that geology has been conspicuous in connection with military opera- tions In such ways as the siting of camps, trenches and dug-outs; while the minute study of the wa- ter table in Northern France dur- ing the late war was not only of value in obtaining water supplies but was of conspicuous utility in mining and counter mining." The nature of the country in South Africa especially, embracing as it did a wide variety of country, made geological advice most desir- able in order to obtain water by means of shallow wells in dry coun- try. After proving by statistics that mines in every part of the Bri- tish possessions in Africa had bene- fited to an immenge extent on the advice of geologists, Sir Albert con- cluded his address:-- _ "In this address an attempt hds been made to show the value of geological surveys to young cCoun- tries and the application of scienu- fic knowledge and methods, both theoretical and practical, to tne discovery of the valuable inorgan- ic and organdc 'resources of Nature as opposed to the search for them in a more or less haphazard man- ner. ~ "Though geology has yielded more definite evidence of the gen- etic relations, associations end oec- currences of minerals in rocks and lodes, yet discoveries have shuwn that some minerals have wider as- sociations than had been known previously. It becomes necessary, therefore, to keep an open mind on many matters, to consider cares fully all the evidence available, and not to be dogmatic in opinions and conclusions. Geology is not an ex- act science--:therein lies much of its fascination-----so, in considera- tion of some of its aspects, uncer- tainty, Imagination, and specuia- tion must be tempered with keen and correct observation, sound rea- soning and experience. Through the aeons of the growth of our earth Nature has continuously add- ed to the mineral secrets of her vast realm. Some of these secrets she herself has unveiled to man by her ceaseless cariation; others have been revealed by chance through the activities of man and of the animals; and still others through the application of experi- ence and gelence by man, Today science plays the predominant role in these revelations, and is stead- ily forcing 'a recognition of this fact upon the peoples of the earth, for their common benefit." EXPERTS DISCLOSE USES OF SUN-TAN Is Much More Than Just a Simple Cosmetic Says Doctor London, July 31.--That the sun- tan which is now so popular ig much more than a cosmetic, with important meanings for the physi- cian who is attempting to use sun- |. light to cure disease and to main- tain good health, is the contention of the recognized dean of sun-cure experts, Dr. Auguste Rollier of Switzerland, expressed in an article in the British Journal of Actino- therapy. : Production of the skin pigment that causes tanning, the same chemical substance which darkens the skins of the brown and black races, is usually assumed, Dr. Rol- lier writes, to be merely a protec- tive device to prevent injury to the deeper and more sensitive layers of the skin by too much sunburn. Undoubtedly, he agrees, this is one of the tan pigment's duties. Be believes, however, that there are at least three others. One is to be a regulator of body temperature, by absorbing the heat of the sun close to the surface of the body, where it can be radiated into the air when necessary with- out overheating deeper and more sensitive organs. The fourth use of the tan pig- ment is due, Dr. Rollier believes, to some chemical reaction which occurs while the pigment is being formed and which creates sub- stances able to increase the resis- REPAIRING WATCHES | Xt your Watch is not giving satisfaction we can repair and make it tell the correct time D.
