Some observance of our duty to © God, in the form of prayer, or the act of Scout Silence, will never, 1 am sure, be neglected in our troop meeting, if we expect to get the best . out of Scouting, This article may well be taken to heart, not only by the Scout leaders, but by the boys themselves. Scouts are watched very closely by erybody, and as they show them- = melves, either good or bad, true or i untrue to their promise and laws, so will the movement be, judged.

Mr. Mundy, pres. of the Local Association, gave a fine address to the boys, stressing the need of good character in the outside world and pointing out to them the way In which they were deriving benefit through the Scout and Cub train- ing which they received as members of those world-wide organizations. Scoutmaster Terrett of the 5th Troop was then called on to say a few words which he thereupon pro- ceeded to do in his inevitable and humorous manner, and telling us quite frankly that the two very fine cups won by us at the Jamboree would soon be resting on another trophy shelf.

Then came the coffee, cake and sandwiches dispensed through the willing efforts of some of the Guides of the 2nd Oshawa Company whom we wish to thank for their services.

Robinson, a pleasure that was much appreciated by the boys. In the absence of Mr. Terry, who is out of town for a short Mr, Robinson will look after the troop in his place. About the Inter-Troop debate, we would like to say that the interested troops had better look to their laur- els. As yet we have heard of nu arrangement concerning the debates while the rules and conditions to govern them have not been given out. The troop would like to know how the debates are to be run and would like to hear from the com- mittee in charge as to fhe subject, time and rules, Two of the boys in the troop have passed thelr first class badges and are well on the way to their King's Scout, g We would like to see more boys turn out for the troop. We think that there are boys who belong to Simcoe Street Church who do not belong to any of the clubs connected with the church. We would like to see these boys turn out, for the troop.

It is an old saying and more than once boys and girls, too, are re- minded of it in their days of learn- ing at school. But just what kind of manners maketh the best kina of man? The saying merely says that manners maketh man, it does not specify what kind of manners or what kind of man. So we take it, that if the manners are bad, the man is bad too. Manner you know, that have been used a few times be- come habits and habits do stick to one. So if the man uses manners that are not good they eventually have such an influence on his life and he becomes so accustomed to using thém that he becomes any- thing but a desirable man. On the other hand, if a man uses good manners they are bound to become good habits and influence his life for the better. Youth is the habit forming time, things that we aceus- tom ourselves to do in our youth will stay by us always. The kind of man a certain boy is going to be may be determined by none other than the boy himself, it is up to him to choose what kind of manners he will use and what kind of habits they will grow to be.

It is hoped that 12,000 Tuxis boys and Trail Rangers will help their lead- ers in this great effort, These two programe, Trail Rang- ers for boys 13 to 14, and Tuxis for boys 15 to 17, are used by the Protestant churches in providing training in complete Christian nv- ing. Through them the church is helping boys who are living in one of the most impressionable periods of 'life to Seek Truth--Cherish Health--Love God---Serve Others. On Sundays the groups meet in the church as Sunday School Classes and during the midweek for those other activities that are dear to the heart of every boy. The money raised by the boys in this campaign js for both provincial and local work and will be used by the Boys' Work Boards of the "rovince in setting up and super- vising district camps, boys' work conferences, father and son activi- | tleg, athletic meets and the work of | the Older Boys' Parliament. Work of this character is helptul 'o the community, the Church ana "nday School. It develops resour- "efviness, initiative and orieinality | 'n the boys and directs their ener- fes into wholesome channels." Tt has had encouragement from gov- ernments, service clubs and good citizens generally. Its standards are excentionally high and are worthy of extension to every mook and corner of Ontario, The boys who go out, unselfishly and enthusiastically in February, te. ralse the money needed by thelr provincial move ent are showing a spirit that should meet with the most generous and practical approy- al of the citizens. To Camp at Scugog Trail Ranrer and Tuxis work was given a big impetus at York Coun- ty's recent hoys' work conference held at Newmarket, One of the splendid features proved tn be the open forum. "Can a Christian go to War?" came in for a good deal of discussion In a session led by "'d Devitt, Taylor Statten, J. M. Fin. lay and Earl Lautenslager were nmong the leaders. Plans are al- ready under way to hold a North York boys camp at Lake Scugog.

Altair Trail Rangers The weekly meeting of the Altan Trail Rangers of Simcoe street United Church was held on Tuesday evening, a short business period fol- lowing the worship service. [Plc- ture framing and snapshot colorine were studied, and the rest of the evening was spent in mat work and tumbling. Harmony Trail Rangers Harmony Trail Rangers met in the schol basement on Wednes- day night. Harold Winter, the Chief Ranger, took charge of the meeting.

A voung ladies' Sunday school class had just risen from a supper meet- ing and together the groups spent an enjoyable evening of games, song and refreshment, Albion Trafl Rangers Owing to the weather the Albion group had to postpone their tobog- gan party on Friday night.

Perhaps for some enviable few the reason fs tha. they are so happy every hour of day and night that they wish more time in order to make possible the ab- sorption of more happiness. But for most of us, twenty-four hours seems a short day, because it is not sufficient time for us to do all we should lke to. Why fs "it not And in what way cal we make time that we do have do more? Would it be better to do everything just as it presents itself to us, or by a sys- tem, well organized, would we ac complish more? One can not al ways do just as one wants, nor can system always be depended on to work satisfactorily because new things to do are forever coming into our lives and time values change. But a little bit of system, if ju feel you must do something, would prot ably help.

Fidelis Group Monday evening proved a perfect night for study of the stars. The heavens were {llumed by a full moon which made only the bright- est stars and the most important ones visible. The cold, however, subject, "Social Service--In Canada! did not permit any lengthy study, 80 the group members betook them- selves inside to proceed with their regular weekly meeting. The main discussion was "The advantages of discussidn tor all C.G.I.T. groups" and notes were taken by the girls for future reference. Phyliss Cle- ments conducted the devotional ex- ercises which included an interest- ing story of Sir Galahad and the Holy Grall. Musie study included two compositions, "The Last Rose of Summer," and "Danse Macabre." Council As for Council---everybody wants to know what happened there! Per- haps someone has told you about the good time, but for the sake of the uninformed, here goes. In the first place, Mrs. Brown's group at King Street certainly are good cooks--meat, potatoes, {ce- cream, cookles, and an original 1it- tle "Fifi" at each plate. And then, a C.G.IT meeting wouldn't be com- plete without singing, so, in Dbe- tween mouthfuls, some familiar tune would burst forth. The words weren't always discernible, but then everyone who wag there knows why! The business period took place after the ropast and it was decided another month; so all you, C.G.L.T., bring forth your dimes for the cause, and let's have some real good times at the Arena. One girl at Council expressed the opinion. that 'the skating's wonderful." Those of you who have not been down are missing a whole lot. C.G.IT. week is Feb, 8-15. We are looking for large contributions and some good programs and pro- Jocts during that week. Errington Parsons was In charge of the games. We introduced our- selves by means of a "spiral hand- shake," followed by a relay in which wet soap on a slippery knife figured largely. Unfortunately the time was limited and we played fewer games that we had hoped. for. Then faliawed oe Sasusslon groups un cap eadershi of Miss Royce, Sirs. Brown, Mrs, Ewing and Mrs. Harston. These were about C.G.LT. week and your representative probably took some for your group along with her. An im ve vesper service, in which Marjorie Henley told the | #tory--the story of Sir Galahad and the search for the Holy Grafl-- brought Couneil to a close. As 1s the way of all C.G.LT, the happy group went their ways after the singing of "Taps."

Library rs Notes BUSY FALL TERM September to December were busy months, The librarian lent 1,329 more books in the first four months' of the present school ses- sion than during the same period in 1929, 4,380 volumes wero eir- culated from September to Decem- ber 1930 as against 3,861 in the previous year. The extended uwe may 'be attributed to the improved library facilities in the new scauvor and to the increased enrollment. Hard times have also meant more books and fewer "shows." 329 students who came to the Collegiate for the first time fin September have become active borrowers. 1,942 readers have taken out cards since the present service was inaugurated in 1927. During the fall term 125 books were addéd to the llbrarybs stock 68 books were rebound; 19 were borrowed frem the Puble Lbrary 33 library lessons were taught and 1,649 inquiries were answered.

Court of Honor The executive of a company 1s composed of the Guiders and the Patrol 'Leaders. Seconds are not Jembers, but may be elected to at- end. 3 This executive in the Girl Guides ls called the Court of Honor, It deals with all matters pertaining to the, company, It should draw up the programs of the meetings and discuss the badges to be taken and any entertainments that the com- pany holds. As it {s an executive it must be a regular business body and act in a business-like manner. Meetings should be held regularly at least once a month but special shorter meeotings may be called to deal with urgent affairs. There should be a secretary who should keep proper minutes anu these records are the legal books of the company. The Captain pre- tides, and calls the meeting to or- der. Business then proceeds as all well-run business meetings do-- minutes of the last meeting; busi- ness arising out of 'the minutas; treasurers' report; patrol leaders' reports, ete. A Patrol Leader attends, not as an individual, but as a representa- tive of her patrol, and as such she thould speak and vote. In her re- port she should 'tell the progress of her patrol how the attendance {s keeping up, whether the fees are up-to-date, what her Guides wish put on the next month's program; ete. It is sald that the good company is one, which, even though the Guiders were not present, woull run along without a hitch. This could not be possible unless the T.eaders knew what was to go on at all the meetings. And if the Court of Honor is not run properly, the Leaders are all in the dark. . It is up to the Leaders of each company to see that their Court of Honor, and their company, is being run along the lines laid down by the Chief Scout when he made the out- lines of the Girl Guide movement for us. Have you a Bird Chart in your company? It is time that you had, for there have been several birds seen right around Oshawa this week. A big piece of cardboard and divisions. on ft for "Name,of bird," "where seen," "how recogniz- ed," "date," "name of patrol." The honor of being the first to see a bird should be credited to the Pa- trol, not the individual Guide. It would make an Interesting. inter- company competition-----what do you think? From Far Away India has plenty of Girl Guides and Brownies. It took a long timed hefore the native Indian girls were allowed to join the companies, for it was all so different to what In- dian girls had done in the past. The Brownies are called "Blue- birds' in India and all the countries where their skin is brown so they will not think it {s a reflection on their color. , There are over 20,000 of our sis- ters in India. They have many oi the 'flocks' and companies in the mission schools, byt there are aldo many not connected with them. Camping in India cannot be done with the same safety as in Canada 80 the camps are usually in private grounds. Last year there were two All-India camps, when guidea came from all over the land: One was in the grounds of Belvedere, lent hy His Excellency, the Vicerv, and the other in the 'grounds of Government House at Bombay. The Girl Guide books have been translated into Hindi, Gugerath, Marathi and Kanarése.
