A very large crowd, the ladâ€" les beautifully gowned in the newest of fashions, danced to the tunes of Andy Cangiano and his boys, who seem to improve with every dance. Balloons novelties and pap»r hats added a finâ€" ishing touch to the gaiety and merriâ€" ment of ths: occasion, and every gentleâ€" man and his lady wores a brigzght and happy smile. One of the gentlemen even remarked, "It‘s too bad they can‘t have a Chalet Dance every night," and expressed the thought of all those lucky people who attended.

Also, many excellent songs are written every year which deâ€" serve to live on. Let us show that Scouts have good taste when it comes to sclecting their songs. L<t us choose One thing necessary if the group wants to enjoy its sin‘zing, and that is that everybody should be in it. The boys may none of them be Carusos. or even Morton Downeys or Bing Crosâ€" bys. This isn‘t necessary if they only do their best when joining in the choruses. And then try to make the gang sing. All too often bosy intone with a yelp and make singing into yelling. It isn‘t necessary to make the singing loud. In fact boys‘ voices usually need to be toned down. So let‘s all use the "soft pedal." Come on gang, your song sheets and Group 5 (Moneta) are their treasury by takin flowers for Mothers‘® Dav One section of the Raymond, Alta., volunteer fire brigade, is composed of Boy Scouts. to seclecting their songs. Lt us choose those only that are worthy of our brotherhaod. This does not mean that all songs must be serious or high falutin. "A Scout is chesrful." He wants his funny songs and "nutty" songs, too, but he knows how to choose them with a little tact and appropriate to the occasion. If a unit has a hard job to do, it will find that a song helps a lot. It increases the speed and makes the boys forget it‘s hard. You know ‘"Whistle While You Work." It works the same way on a hike. In the beâ€" ginning of the tramp a real marching tune helps to set the pace, and when the boys, tired out, are swallowinz the last few miles, a crazy song with a crazy refrain helps to keep the feet aâ€"moving. But afcer all, it is around the camp fire that most of the singing in a troop is‘ done. And the biggest point is for the leader to choose the right songs to fit into the spirit and mood of the Cccasior. "Heighâ€"ho," or "Hail Scouting or the Butterfly Patrclithe Lady Cubâ€" masters) rendering "All Girls Lovoe a Sea Scout." A singing troop or pack is a live one. No group can count itself perfect if it does not feel joy in singing. The habit of singing may help it through many discouraging experiences. It lightens the spiriis and shortens the road. It fits into troop or pack meetings as welt as on the tramp, or around the camp fire. Perhaps one of the most cutstanding fratures of the recerst provincial Scouters‘ Conference held in Kitch>nâ€" er the weekâ€"end before last was the singing. The whole 587 Scouters and eccmmiiteemen went into it with all the gusto and fervor of an opera star.

Wilno is a thrivinz community in Renfrew County, the greater part of the population being original settlers and their descendants coming from Poland to Canada to settle in this land of freedom. These settlers left their native land which was then under the dominance of the Czar of Russia. They gave the settlement the name of Wilno in honour of the town Wilno (or Vilna) in their own native land of Poland. It was the latter Wilno that was occupied in 1920 by the Polish Government, though it was claimed by Lithuania. Lithuania held to its claim to Wilno, Poland, until the recent unâ€" pleasantness in Europe when it agrerd to drop the claim. The Government of Poland has shown its interest and friendship to the people of Wilno, Renfrew County, Ontario, where so many fine Polish families settled years ago, by presentâ€" ing to the St. Mary‘s church at Wilno a painting of the Blessed Virgin Mary by a renowned European artist.
