THREE DAYS IN DITCH AFTER HIT BY TRAIN Montreal, July 17.--From a bed in the Western Hospital, where he lies in a serious condition, Nich- olas Malas, aged 55 years, told an extraordinary story to the police.

Malas was seen last night by W, J. Stephenson, Montreal, who was motoring toward this city, The man was crawling along the side of the road. Mr, Stephenson real- ized that he was badly hurt, and drove him to a local hospital, Malas was firm in his statement that it was on Friday that he suf- fered his injuries, and was greatly surprised to learn that three days had elapsed while he lay in the ditch, - While admitting that his version is possibly correct, the police doubt the story, claiming that the heavy rains of the past few days would have drowned him as he lay in the ditch, The victim claims that he was walking to Montreal from a point in the United States.

July 17.-- Commander Richard E. Byrd, whe on occasion can get along with al- most no sleep at all, oversleeps "once in a while." This is revealed in a newly pub- lished juvenile biography of the explorer. "I think sleep fis the most important thing a man can get for his health," the man who spent 42 hours awake over the At- lantic last summer told Fitzhugh Green, author of "Dick Byrd, Air Explorer." "I always try to sleep right hours," he said. "Sometimes I try to add an extra hour when I know I am going to have a bard spell of work ahead." OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, Scout Notes | To the mew and imexperienced Scoutmaster, starting with the idea that running a Scout Troop is all plain sailing, the months of July and August and the problems they bring, always come as a great discouragement. Even the "old-timer" gets a bit disgruntled. So a word about Seouting in the summer-time will not be amiss. ' Many troops close down dur- ing the summer months. But why? Summer is the out-of-door season and Scouting is an open air work at all times. Indoor parades, weekly meetings and such are on- ly a small part of it. The chief's defintion of Scouting is "The at- tributes of backwoodsmen, fron- tiersmen and explorers," such as perseverance, self-reliance, re- sourcefulness, courage, nature knowledge and other such items, all of which are found through Scout training while in camp. All the chief Scout books and the Scout Handbooks even to the official catalog, breathe the spir- it of the open air. So why close the troop because the attendance at the indoor meetings is not as large as might be. A The one essential to successful troop operation during the summer is a troop camp, It is something for everyone to look forward to, and will do a good deal toward keeping up the general interest while the many useful hooks on the subject make it possible for any Scoutmaster to run a successful two-weeks camp with the minimum of trouble. Week-end camps make the weeks fly happily by and out-door rallies with a good assortment of games complete the program. Summer is the time and camp is the place character is formed and confidence is won, that enables a true Scout to look the world fair in the face and march on, All Scouts who are not other- wise diligently occupied are re- quested to assemble at the Regent Theatre on Monday, July 23rd, at 12.30 noon, in order to help the Kinsmen with their Kiddies' Kar- nival, Please report in uniform to the Scoutmaster present and in the avent of none being there, get in touch with Troop Leader Cook ot the 2nd Oshawa Troop. Come on, fellows! This is a golden opportunity to do a good deed at the same time render val- uable assistance to a worthy cause. Scout Masters, please see that all Troops are informed of this gathering before Monday. Two very important items as regards, Scouts in Oshawa have been drawn to our attention re- cently, but which, we feel, should have been erported some time ago. These items concern the saving of two lives so you see that they are not things to be lightly passed over, Cubmaster Haines of the 2nd Oshawa Troop Pack was successful in saving a young man from drowning at Tooley's Mill. Like a true Scout he has said nothing to win himelf favour, but he should be honored by everyone. Scout Master Sutton of the 2nd Oshawa Troop also has brought honor to his troop by the saying of a hoy who was about to be run over by a truck, Mr. Sutton re- ceived a nasty bump for his trou- ble but more than feels that it was worth it, Scoutmaster Ingram and Troop Lealed O. Flint have returned from a two-weeks' stay at the Gillwell training camp and report that they had a really splendid holiday, The week-end camp of the fth Oshawa Troop was prevented last week by the wet weather, but high hopes are held for a good) one this week, A spot not far from the Trent River was the scene of a camp held recently by the 2nd Oshawa Troop, under the care of Cubmas- ter Haines, More camps are being held each week and it is with much pleasure that we learn this. Really the summer program of any Scout Troop is not complete without some sort of camp be it an over night one, or a prolonged two or three week trip. The fth Oshawas will be under canvas from July 21st till July 28th, it has been reported. Cap- tain Palmer of Bowmanville has, in true Scout generosity, extended an invitation to the 6th Oshawss to move into his camp and thusly run a combined ong. Captain Palmer's Troop will camp from July 14th to 28th. A special meeting will be held at 7.30 p.m. on Thursday to complete arrange- ments. . The 6th Oshawa Troop mem- bers have now finished 'their sea- son's program and until fall will remain fdle. It fs at this time that they wish to take the oppor- tunity of thanking those good people who have been helpful with gifts and time to the good cause of Scouting. In particular they wish to thank the Rev. Mr. Harston for hig do- nation of hooks fcr the troop if- brary. Also Dr Fletcher, Mr. J. H. R. Luke, Mr. J. C. Young. and Miss Robertson for their interest and help. i The warlous Scouters im Osha- wa are likewise thanked for the help they rendered fin bringing the 6th troop from fimfancy onto the road to maturity. A fitting close to their present season was the moble way they as- sisted at the "All Nations" picnic held at the Onmtarfo Ladies' Col- lege in Whitby. The 1st Thornton's Corners Troop will be in camp at Greens wood from July 21st on. Twelve or fourteen boys under T. L. W¢ Stonehouse will be there and plan for a lively week. TROOP NOTICES 1st Thornton's Corners meet as usual on Friday at head- quarters. 2nd Oshawa Troop--Have sus- pended all meetings during period of camp. 4th Oshawa Troop will meet at Rotary Park on Friday evening at 7.30. 5th Oshawa Troop--Will meet on Friday evening at 7.30 at the North Simcoe street school. the weatlfer is unfavorable the meeting will take place at the Y.
