camsell pointed out urges mineral exchange sir robert falconer who as vice- president will become the next presi dent of tho society presided as dr camsell gave his presidential ad- dress- in which he strongly advocated intraempire exchange of minerals as ono of the greatest empire bonds no nation had such vast areas of mineralhearing territory as lie within the bounds of the empire dr camsell pointed out and a freo exchange of minerals between great britain and tho dominions was necessary in his opinion for the industrial aud eco nomic security of tho empire canadas contribution was of in estimable value from tho imperial point of view inasmuch as it repre sented a greater variety of mineral resources than any other one section of the empire ho believed that tho strength of tho empire us a whole in mineral supplies was not generally appreci ated by the people of the empire- and was not as well known as it should be even to those concerned with the administration of empire affairs if this strength is contrasted with tho weakness of each unit of tho em pire and were that unit to stand alone there would be a greater appre ciation of the value of empire cohe sion and of the encouragement of intraimperial trado in minerals and i mineral products he said to my mind the mineral situation presents one of tho strongest arguments other than a sentimental ono for the working out and adoption of such policies as were proposed at the re cent imperial conference ot tho worlds political units the british empire came nearer to being selfsulllclent ho said warning that no division of the empire could sland alone and that any attempt to ill- torfero with the pooling of allbritish mineral wealth must necessarily ieavo tho united states in the most favorable position with regard to na- tivo supplies of necessary ores and metals whilo placing coal iron oro and petroleum as the first lportant re quirements for canada dr camsell expressed tho belief that in theso canada

to the formation ot a lone patrol at st davids and we be lieve that they have vlsisus ot a troop of their own sometime iu the future we are always glad to hear that the scoutiug infection has taken hold ot boys in various parts ot the province because the more scouts we have in this country the better it will be for tho whole community in years to come it is with very great regret that we record the unfortunate death of one ot our lone scout comrades one night recently lone scout theodore dixon of uuiouvllle was riding down the main street of that town when the hydro power failed and plunged the town in darkuess theodore accidently collided with another boy cyclist and was thrown to the ground suffering severe in juries from which ho died the next day although he had only re cently become a member of the 2nd ontario lone scout troop theodora had shown much keenness and the staff ot the lone scout department very much regret his passing and offer their very sincere sympathy to all his relatives and friends britain is lagging london the prince of wales in an address which was broadcast from london last thursday in an interna tional hookup declared that the cor dial cooperation ot

sometimes we lone scouts are in clined to deplore the fact that we are not members of an ordinary troop taking part in the activities at troop headquarters and associating with lots of other scouts iu their weekly meetings now that the summer is with us again however wo louies once again come into our own not that the winter months are any less inter esting from a scouting point of view for atter all it is a regret table fact that many ot the city scout3 are scouts only in name being very far from experienced in real scout craft for instance who ever heard of a real scout working with a gang no sir a real scouts job i3 a lone job on which he ha3 to rely absolute ly on himself and on his ftwn knowl edge aud ability and who ever heard of a real scout who tracked and trailed and trekked and hunted and camped in a troop headquarters no sir again the natural environment of a true scout is out of doors and thats whera we louies spend most of our time so you see a good lone scout really is much bettor off thau his brothers in tho towns and cities but- much depends on tho individual boy a3 to whether or not he is a good lone scout and as such takoa ad vantage ot all the facilities tor training his mind and body with which he is surrounded he must first of all make himself stkong in body so that he cau endure the hardships of the trail aud be of use to others a weak ling is never much help in mind so that ho can remember the things that he observes in order that ha can control bis body and so that he may have the will to do what other wise may seem impossible in character so that all with whom ho comes in contact will trust him and so that he can live up to the high standard set by the wild things which are his constant companions and then he must bo practical a scout is no good unless he can cook his own food sew on buttons or patch his pants make a sleeping place or build a bridge bind up a wound or use an axe incidently have you made your lone scout lives here sign yet we want every lone scout in on tario to come up to these standards so that we can show canada just what real scouting is will you do your share do your best and let us help you we will be glad to
