Smith To illustrate the British Scout spirit let us take an example of their wartime Scouting. When the German Luftwaffe made that deâ€" vastating night raid on Coventry British Boy Scouts were on the job driving ambulances, forming stretcher parties, acting as mesâ€" sengers and helping rescue crews. Not when the raid was over but when it was at its height. A numâ€" ber of these Scouts never returned home,. Imperial Headquarters in London issued a statement a few days later that read in part "They died as they lived helping others." The Scouts of To-cflay“ are the Men of Toâ€"morrow. MATINEE SAT. The Boy Scouts of Canada are preparing to help their brother Scouts in Europe as soon as peace is declared. In Canada, at the presâ€" ent time there are Scout books beâ€" ing printed in various European languages. These books are to be given to the unfortunate chaps who have been unable to carry on active Scouting during the war. Many have carried on secretly. The Boy Scouts of Holland have had an underground newspaper for some time. That is true Scouting spirit. it develops CHARACTER, which is more essential than anything else to a boy for making his way in life. The principle on which Scouting works is that the boy‘s ideas are studied, and he is encourâ€" aged to educate himself as well as to accept instruction. T he Meaning Of Boy Scout Week This is Boy Scout Week. A week dedicated to the memory of the late Lord Badenâ€"Powell of Gilwell who, thirty â€" five years ago, startâ€" fi es ed the Boy Scout m P WP" â€"Movement. It is n fi,’ during this week 3 that the Scouts 5 \,fla of Canada try to Bd B# 4;? tell you, the Pubâ€" lic, what Scoutâ€" ing is all about. From the parents‘ point of view it gives physical health and deâ€" velopment; it teaches diligence, reâ€" sourcefulness, and handicrafts; it puts into the boy discipline, pluck, chivalry and patriotism; in a word, CA z. g_" s \,._g,' Ministry Of Fear FRI. â€" SAT., FEB. 23 â€" 24 EIGHT T nheatre The Doughgirls ROXY Last Day, Thurs., Feb. 22 ‘"‘The Biggest Little Jewellery Store in The Fruit Belt Watch Clock And Jewellery Repairs 12 Main St. E North Of The Rockies â€" plug â€" Swing Out The Blues None But The Lonely Heart Bill Elliott â€" _ Tex Ritter ALEXANDER HARDWARE â€"â€" GRIMSBY .

The Cubs are to be allowed to wear their uniforms at school on Thursday, Feb. 22 as this is B.P.‘s Birthday.

He was the crafty and skilful hunter, brave and enduring. It was a very diffiâ€" cult thing for the Cub to actually turn himself into a panther for the time ‘being and use his body conâ€" trol to follow the example of his Sixer at exactly the right time. _ It was decided at a dinner meetâ€" ing of officers and group commitâ€" teemen, held at the Village Inn reâ€" cently, to form a Scout district in this area. This district will be beâ€" tween Hamilton and St. Catharâ€" ines. In the area at present there is approximately 350 Scouts and Cubs. A District Commissioner will be appointed from the Scoutmasâ€" ters of the troops concerned which are: Stoney Creek, Fruitland, Wiâ€" nona, Beamsville and Grimsby.
