They will be among the books to be lent Monday. i This week we have received a mber of books which will be of rticular interest to our young uralists. They include Ray- nd Ditmar's great work on Rep- Stone and Cram, American Animals, Jordan's American Food Méhes, Dr. Allen's Book of Bird fe, Reed's Guides to Land and "Water Birds, the late Thomas Mc- "Ilwrairth's Birds of Ontario (a = rare work, the edition of 1894), = Mabel Osgoode Wright's ' Citizen Bird, and others. These, along th the books we already own, will make a very fine section c¢n taral history. An error in the composing room led to the inclusion of our last ek's article, "Juvenile Libraries" der another Department, "Notes m the Junior Library."

H. Blanchet, famous explorer, who recently made a survey of Keewatin and the Northwest Terri- tories. Mr. Blanchet, speaking of the family life of the Eskimo, says: "The domestic life of the Eskimo fs of a family rather than tribal nature and the remarkable feature of it is the self-reliance with which a family or an individual will strike out into the fountry at any season, depending on their skill and ingen- uity to obtain a living and provide the necessary shelter. They are in- ured to hardships early and learn to accept them without resentment. They are endowed with a simple, kindly nature, easily pleased, frank and open in their dealings and gen. erous in sharing their possessions and in offering their services. "The northern Indians regard the white man with contempt and among themselves ridicule his pe- culiarities. Such an attitude was not observed among the FEgkimos. They conduct themselves with self-re- spect, approaching dignity, and meet the white visitors to their country with hospitality and cour- tesy observing his way with serious interest, quick to approve what is new and useful, and interested In what is strange." The Eskimo does not drive a bar- gain, Mr. Blanchet says. He gives freely what he has and leaves it to the other party to make adequate returns. Should he be dissatisfied with the trade he would probably avoid again having dealings with the one who offered it, but would made no comment. The family lite is harmonious, The men hunt and trap and the women are occupied with the care of thc children, cook- ing and preparing the skins for clothing, When travelling in winter the wife catches and harnesses the dogs, while her husband jces the komatic, or natve sleigh and loads it. On the trail she runs ahead while the man handles the dogs and sleigh. In general the women are given the light work but are more continuously employed, while the men are essentially the providers of food and the artisans. The custom of rubbing noses is still retained among the people of the west coast, the explorer says. PRETTY VILLAGE TOBE AUCTIONED New Hampshire Hamlet To Come Under the Hammer (By the Canadian Press) London, April 30.--Crawley vil- lage in Hampshire is to be sold or, at any rate. most of it is to come under the hammer. Tucked away tour miles from Winchester, few parts of rural England have suffer- ed less change than the hamlet of thatched cottages and old-world re- sidences. Thackeray gave it lustre quite apart from that which comes to it from its natural beauty, for the village is the Queen's Crawley of "Vanity Fair." This is not to say, though, that the inhabitants of the stately houses around Crawley ever possessed the peculiar ways of some of the personages in Thackeray's great novel. In this we are told that Queen's Crawley owed its fame to its ale, Queen Elizabeth, stopping at Crawley for breakfast, "was so de- lighted with some remarkable fine Hampshire beer . , . that she forth- with erected Crawley into a bor- ough to send two members to Par- liament." More important, perhaps, even then the ale there is good wa- ter at Crawley, and there is the choice of gas and electricity. Pro- tages will cause most excitement at the sale, which takes place next month. They can be casily convent- ed into delightful summer retreats for a City man with a motor car. PRESERVED CITRON Peel melons, remove seeds and cut in small cubes. For every six pounds of melon, allow three pounds of sugar, the juice and yel- low ring of four lemons. Boil melons in a little water about one- half hour, then drain, cover with cold water and let stand over night. In the morning, put three pints of water and sugar on to boil and add lemon peel. Boil and skim until no more skum rises. Re- move the lemon peel and add the juice, also citron, drained from wa- ter. Boil all together until citron is quite transparent and soft but not soft enough to break. Can hot. GRAPEFRUIT SALAD One and one-half cups grape- fruit, one quarter cup grated yel- low cheese, one-half cup French dressing. Chill ingredients. Cut grapefruit in halves and carefully remove segments. Remove all fi- bre. Arrange on lettuce leaves and sprinkle with cheese and add French dressing. Serve at once. Grapefruit salad is suggested to serve with fish, fowl or roast din- ners, as tartnees {3s desirable with these foods.

Charles Daniels, of Sunder- land was the speaker at the annual Father and Son banquet given on Tuesday evening for the members of the C.S.E.T. Groups and their fathers at King Street United Church, Mr. Daniels is known throughout the province for his ability and activity in boys' work. He is a splendid speaker and his talk will long be re- membered by those who heard him. | He urged the boys to live purely and to rianE wrong and help others. He spoke in favor of the C.S.E.T, camps which are to be held this summer at Lake Scugog, and hoped that a large representation of boys from Oshawa would take advantage of them, Mr. Daniels besides delivering an inspir- ing agldress led in some games that both fathers and sons enjoyed. Mr. "Bob" Brown was toastmaster, and after all had drunk the toast to the King, called on Mr. Stanley Harris to give a toast to the church to which Rev, C. E. Cragg responded. Stanley Gomme, made the toast to the fathers and Mr, Earl Trew re- sponded. "The Life Boat" and "The Tenement House" were the titles of the two readings by Mr. Griffin, Mr, Hainer and Mr. Rutherford were pianists for the evening. A vote of appreciation for serving the dinner was extended to the C.G.LT. group responsible for it, by Mr, "Bill" Eddie. WIGWAGS FROM THE WAPITIS The Wapiti Trail Ranger Camp of Jemseg, N.B., under the leadership of Lloyd Machum, have had a most interesting program during the past fall and winter months. Other groups will find several helpful suggestions THE TUXIS COLUMN TUXIS BOYS from the following account of their activities: When the group organiz- ed last October they chose the In- dian name of Wapiti. They had a special reason for choosing some- 2 Indian because, being, in Queens County on the Jemseg River within sight of Grand Lake and 8 mi- les from the Washademoak Lake, they are in the centre of one of the most famous Indian territories in the Maritime Provinces. Atter choosing their home, they evolved a code of Indian sign language. This was used in hikes and. inh sending messages. It was used extensively in tracking games on their: Saturday hikes. In- dian trail and Warning signals were learned, reference book being Ernest Seton's "Book of Woodcraft." From pictures of old Indian chiefs names were chosen for the members of the group, by which they are known. They studied old Indian ways, and learned that that are many things about an Indian's character that should make the white man hang his head for shame. On one of their hikes a medicine man was chosen who has since started a wamnum belt which is to be a record of all their outdoor activitics. The group the learning Indian songs and dances group, 'seated cross-legged in a circle around a dim light, sing the Omaha Tribal Prayer. A council lodge back in the woods is the usual Saturday meeting place. National Athletic Contest Is your group one of the many that is practising running, jumping and throwing events in anticipation of the National Contest? Further particu- lars can be secured from the Ontario Boys' Work Board. | Canadian Girls in Training Bird Study In an endeavour to hold back irom themselves the condemning tide of ignorance on at least one subject of ignorance on at least one subject of general information, the Kitichike- wannians have entered upon an in- teresting course in Bird Study. An inspiration for the ardent hobby ist, and an interesting stock of know- ledge for the casual collector was the enlightning instruction . which Miss Moore so ably rendered. With the help of colored pictures of the birds in their environments she pointed out the characteristics and differences of the kinds of sparrows, swallows, war- blers and of other birds which are seen around Oshawa. Next week the group intends to have a hike and try and see the birds they have learned about and study others they see. A New Group Once more a new group is added to the great company of Oshawa C, GIT. We are the Akitas! Grace Battle is our leader and we hope to be able to work together for the sake of the C. G. I. T. movement. We have chosen from among our rank for an executive: Pres, Pearl Brault; Vice P, Lor- aine Dafoe; Sec., Kathleen Sheridan; Treas. Eileen Burke, We hope to line up the standards of the group which Northminister and the other groups of the city have already set, Fidelis Group The outdoor meeting which had been planned for Fidelis Group for Monday, Rpril 27th turned 'out to be an indoor one due to the cold weather and lowering aspect of the sky. All the girls in the group had planned to make a study of one or two outdoor subjects, such as birds, trees, stars or flowers and each girl was presented with the book con- cerning her particular choice. These books are very interesting and will certainly be a great help to all. We are all very much indebted to our leader, Mrs. Tait, who has shown a very real interest in the development of the group's knowledge of outdoor lore. We practised a number of songs some of which we intend to use as part of our outdoor ceremonies dur- ing subsequent meetings, two of which are "Day is dying in the west". and "The Lord is in His Holy Tem- ple." (It is intended to hold all fur- ther meetings outdoors until the end of the term to provide the best op- portunities for nature-study.) Then came the important period of Monday's meeting. One ceremony affiliating our group, Fidelis, with the Women's Missionary Sociéty! Mrs, J. C. Young as president of the W. M. S. conducted the ceremony after a very dellghtful and interesting talk on the work which is being done in China, Africa, Korea, Trinidad and other countries by the W.M.S. She gave reasons why it was necessary to send missionaries to these various countries and also gave the satisfy- ing results achieved by their efforts. The ceremony closed with all singing the hymn "Oh, Master, let me walk with Thee." followed by two verses of "Taps". Blouges, vests and waistcoats are going to be extremely fashion- able this summer, and they will be seen in every kind of variety. Pa- tou is showing vests for his street and sports suits of tussore and pique. Chantal favors blouses of the tuck-in variety made with short sleeves and yokes. Blouses of embroidered muslins and fine lawns trimmed with lace are also to be seen in several blouses worn with the more dressy type of af- ternocn coat and skirt, Wa | | Good 1 i erik 'CANADA BREAD Youthful Oshawa A CALENDAR FOR ALL THY Not what weh ave--but what we use!

KING OF SIAM TO VISIT PRESIDENT His Majesty Discusses Plans for Reform in Gov- ernment _ Purchase, N.Y., April 30--(C. P.)-- King Prajadhipok of Siam, an abso- lute monarch who intends voluntarily to give the right suffrage to his peo- ple, will visit President Hoover at Washington, z e King's half-brother, the Prince of Chandaburi, died yesterday in Pars of 2 fhreal Fiction. A state- ment issued on behalf of the Kin Ophir Hall said: Pat 'Court mourning will of course, be observed in Bangkok, but His Majes- ty--as is customary in cases of func- tions of state--has ordered the sus- pension of mourning for his visit to Washington and on the occasion of tbsequent & s now con- stituting the King's schedule." MUNICIPAL VOTING IN SIAM Purchase, N.Y., April 30,--(C. P.) --Sitting before an ornate fireplace in the gorgeous drawing room of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid's mansion, Op- hir Hall, the King of Siam recently discussed with newspaper writers the "westernization" of his country, his personal pleasure in movie comedies, and his appreciation of such national figures as Babe Ruth and Charlie Chaplin. At the same time he became in a sense an impressive salesman for Siam, describing vividly its happy life, the "adaptibility" of its people, and the rapid growth of its educational institutions. And he revealed that he intends-- today an autocratic ruler--to give his people a share in their own govern- ment, teaching them the process of self-government at first through el- ections to local municipal councils, . "I am studying the American vot- ing system," he said, "with a view to discovering whether it actually pro- vides for exercise of the majority will. Some time after my return, 1 intend to establish elections in cities and towns." "I do not consider that I possess any divine right as a ruler," he con- tinued. "We in Siam consider the king's relationship to his people as that of a father, interested in the happiness and welfare of his children We obtain obedience through love." It is with caution that his country accepts western ideas, the King said, Choose Ideas "We advise them to meditate," he said. "We ask them not to accept a new idea at once, but to think and choose the best path. We pick ad choose our ideas from the western world with care and only those which are the best, to our minds, are ad- apted. I say adapted and not adopt- ed, you notice. "The greatest aim of my life is to make the people happy. It is im- possible, of course, to make every- one happy--but we strive to give the greatest good to the greatest num- bers." The King has seen Charlie Chap- lin's "City Lights" and enjoyed it immensely. He explained that talk- ing pictures are just. now beginning to be shown in the large cities of Siam. His peonle's tastes, he com- mented, favor comedies, and roman- ces are not received with much en- thusiasm, : i , "I am anxious to see Babe Ruth in an actual game of baseball," he continued, "although I ~refer foot- ball to baseball. My two favorite sports are golf and tennis." Regarding aviation, His Majesty said he had been in the air twice, but has no desire to learn to fly an airplane. "In fact, I haven't time to learn," he explained. wl Bis Renlls Jastions this erly) ng spoke of his religion--Budd- hism--as "a good religion." "But we do not say it is the best," he said. "We urge the people to cling to what they think the wise est" And, he added meditatively, "I was myself a Buddhist monk for four months, in my youth." J But the King parried the question of one interviewer as to what he be- lieved was "the best form of govern- ment." . "That is a question for a professor of sociology," he said. 'Naturally, the form of government that is best suited to the temperament of the people is 'the best government' for that partioular nation." " Toast small plecas of bread for each egg; trim and lay on hot platter. Have frying pan partly filled with salted water. Whau simmering, carefully break in one egg at a time. * Baste with the wa- ter until the white is firm; take up with skimmer; trim edge of white and alip on toast.' , are Girl Guide News weetly) Rally Put a big red circle around this date on your calender--June 13th. That is the day that the Girl Guides hold their summer rally on the grounds of Col. W. E. Phillips' resi- dence on Centre st, and no one should miss it! : r Camp Summe 'The application forms for the Osh- awa Girl Guides' camp at Niagara- on-the-lake the Jast two weeks in July, will be out next week. The fee will only be Five dollars a week. Other expenses will be covered by the proceeds of the rally, This camp is only for the Guides of Oshawa and their leaders. Fire Lighting Fires may be divided into three classes :-- (a) Hike fires. (b) Cooking fires camps. (c) Ceremonial and signal fires. The type depends on to what use it is to be put. Hike Fires: In nearly. all cases it is adviseable to start your fire in a small depres- sion in the ground and to make a boundary with green wood or stones (do not use flints or they will split and jump out at you when heated). Then if the ground is damp start with a flat layer of pieces of wood; this will at first take up the moisture of the ground and later it will burn and so help make a good ash. For a quick blaze over which you are going to swing a pot, I should use a nyvramid, startin~ quite small, and with plenty of air space. If you are going to fry or bake you will want plenty of coals. To botain this build around this pyramid a cobhouse fire, that is a fire built on the four plan, through this some kindling twirs which will carry the flames from the middle up and out to the framework. Feed this fire by the same system as a criss cross re. Hunter's or TraPper's Fire: This is a very useful fire for either baking, boiling, or frying. To make a hunter's fire place *~o very small logs on the ground so that they form a very small V, or so that at one end they are a foot or two apart and at the other they are only a fer inches. Logs six inches through and two or three feet long will do very well for this purpose. The logs should be so placed that the wind will blow diag- onally into the space between the widely separated logs. Between the two logs build a fire and allow it to spread the length of the logs. The hottest place of the fire will be found to be the place where the logs are close together, If you have a frying pan you may rest it on the two logs and keep the handle over the side where it will be cool. Two persons may very con- veniently use this fire at one time one working from each end if so de- sired. If you wish to place at pail, a pan, or some other utensil over the fire between the Jogs and find the space too great to suit your needs you may cut green sticks and lay them across and on these rest your cooking uten- sils. More about fire lighting next week. 1st Oshawa Brownies The first Oshawa Brownies Pack met last Friday evening with an at. tendance of 19. Brownies and their mothers are requested not to for. get the home cooking sale on Satur- day, May 2nd, to.be at 38 Simcoe Street North. Those sending dona- tions are asked to have thenvat the above address by 11.30 am. In cases where contributors want their things called for, telephone 2178- M. Money from this sale will go to- wards buying Sixer badges and pins. 2nd Oshawa Brownies The Brownies are going for a hike on Saturday morning, and taking their lunch with them. for standing Constance Farncomb and Dorothy Rigg passed their compass direction and the first and last verses of God Save the King for their first class. The Garden Rally is on June 13th Let us hope all the Brownies will be there. They must try not to miss any more meetings or they will not know what they have to do, Doreen Schoenaw and Joan Mason passed Compass direction for first class and Irene Corben passed the first and last verse of God Save the King. There were two new girl at the meeting last week. We hope they going to like being Brownies. Wouldn't it be nice if Hey had their uniforms fos the Garden Rally. 1st Oshawa The 1st Co. held their regular meeting on Monday with a good at- tendance. There were two new re- cruits one with the Poppy and the other with the Nightinvale Patrols. The evening was spent in practic- ing for the Garden Party, First Aid, Signalling, Dancing and games. he proficiency badges were pre- sented to the girls who passed the tests in" the fall season. There will be court of honour on Friday evening at 7.30 pm. at the home of Miss Fitches, 214 Albert St. There will be enrollment on Mon- | day 18th, all girls who wish to be en- rolled had better get busy with their uniforms and tenderfoot work. : 2nd Oshawa The Signalling squad for the Rally was hard at work on Wednesday evening. It takes some practise to keep all together in' time! A pot of blooming Trilliums, and a big basket of growing Hepaticas made Mrs. Lee's chat on Nature Lore most interesting. Mrs, Lee is going to take some of the tender- foots out on Saturday to learn how to make fires. Mrs. Hobbs told a story about how a little girl, who had fallen /off the clics- and badly sprained her ankle, was cared for by first aid, and how it takes resourcefulness to know what to do in case of an accident. But that is why the First Aid is taught to the Guides! "A crushed hand," was given attention last meeting by the first aiders, who learned how to fix the splints and apply the triangul« ar bandage, 8rd Oshawa 3 Everything turned out as planned and there was a well ordered meet- ing of the 3rd Oshawa last evening. Dancing, signaling, nature study, stalking, a story and song in pow=- wow and an enrolment of one new Guide, Isobel Preston. The three new girls who made their first apearance last week came back again all eager to start on their Tenderfoot and perhaps be enrolled in time for the Garden Rally in June, . - 4th Oshawa The girls reviewed all the signalling that they had learned. Mrs. Ratcliffe taught the girls how to bandage up a head and they thought that was great fun. The girls learned some more of the code last meeting, and thought it was very interesting and as usual every one enjoyed Miss Smith's games, i Sea Rangers Two more enrolments last week with the Skipper officiating. The two who made their promises were Mabel Carpenter and Molly Weales. That makes eight now who are able to wear the blue tenderfoot badge. Five proficiency badges were presented also. Florence Robertson and Molly Weales each received one and Betty Hobbs re- ceived three. There was no time left for the Art chat after learning to splice a rope and practising the Sailors' hornpipe. Time was also speut framing some 'pictures of ships-- the rigging of which is a fascinat- ing study. These pictures are to hang in the Sea Ranger club-ropm in the future. i The meeting was ended Ly sing« ing sea chanties and Gulde Songs. From Far Away Accompanying Sir Robert Baden- Powell, chief Scout, on his visit to New Zealand is Lady Baden-Powell, Chief Guide, During the past 12 years she has controlled the destin- ies of the wide-flung Girl Guide movement, and today watches over the welfare of nearly one million girls in every quarter of the globe. She is one of the busiest women in the world, and shares with her fa- mous husband the hero worship and devotion of thousands of young New Zealanders. In an interview here Lady Baden Powell referred enthusiastically to the romantic growth of the Girl Guide Movement, which from small beginnings in 1910 had grown into the widest of all organizations for girls, embracing today 800,000 young people in nearly every coun- try in the world. "Our membership leaps up by an average of 50,000 every year," she said. "The movement has been ex- tended recently to Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, It has gone to Pal- estine and we are now very strong in Egypt. In India the movement has taken on wonderfully and we have the highest expectations of the good it will do in that huge country whose women are now waking up from the backward state in which they have lagged so long." The Girl Guide movement in India was applying much the same methods as those used in European countri- es, for, as Lady Baden-Powell Te- marked, "a girl is a girl the world over." "As an English woman I am na- turally most interested in the girls of the oversea Dominions," added the Chief Guide. "They are doing great work in Canada, and the movement is particularly strong in South Africa. That is very signifi- cant, because we hope it will exert an influence in bringing the woman of the two races, British and Dutch closer together." April comes with starry eyes, Lyric laughter in her skies; Flinging little lilts of song All her greening ways along, Apple-blossom hands has she, Eyes of dusky sorcery. 5 Silvered sandals wears she now, Woven like a willow bough, Hers the Diadem of Dreams, Hers the Promise Crown gleams Thru the apple-tinted night, Like a lamp of rare delight. thai April comes with flowing hair, Fluting gladness thru the air, Kissing warmth to sleepy sod, Making music for her God.
