GE EICHT "THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1931 dh Scout News of what the Boy Scouts of Oshaws are doing contributed by the scout lead- ers. Contributions to this column will be welcomed, and should be sent Times office not / momming each week. SCOUT NOTES The dangers of fircarms were very forcibly drawn to our attention the other day, when we were stand- ing in our own back garden and were suddenly started to hear the whine of a 22 bullet as it passed our illustrious ear followed almost simultaneously by the crack of the pleased to say that the the rifle in question were put their thoughtless- have been 'the cause of a very serious accident, as there were numerous people and small children in the path of the bullet and it was only' by good fortunc nobody Was hit, : : The boys in question had just shot a Robin which they were seen to. pick up shortly after and throw jato a ncarby field, little realizing that their bullet had passed right through their victim and gone speeding merrily on for nearly an- other block, past numerous people who might have been seriously hurt. In the first place, no boy should use animals of any kind as animat- ed target practice. ; Of course the Scout Law which ays "A Scout is a friend to Ani- mals" would prevent him from do- ing that. Then we must point out that to shoot a bird of any kind during the nesting season is an unforgivable sin, because by doing so the one responsible probably dooms three or four young birds to death by star- vation. = It is also a moral crime if not a civil crime to shoot Robins. Besides this, it is against the law to use firearms wthin the city limits. Now, had these' boys thought for one minute, just what they were doing, there is no doubt, that there would have been one more Robin alive today, but unfortunately the tendency among the younger gener- ation is to shoot at anything that makes a good target when they get a rifle in their hands. The other day we saw a young man with the tail of a squirrel which had been removed by the gun method by a iriend of his, and we thought then at of the pain and sui- fering that can be dispensed from the business end of a .22 rifle, Scouts, of course, have more rea- sons to be careful and thoughtful of others, than boys who are not Scouts, but there is a strong temp- tation to be forgetiul when a boy has a good rifle i his hand, and a target of any kind to shoot at. We car, of course, only caution you to be thoughtful and careful, and remember your Scout laws, rifle. We are boys using not Scouts, ness might . Yesterday we had the pleasure of hearing a lecture by Mr. La Trobe, of the Ontario Safety League, but 'further remarks as to the number attending and so forth, must be left until next week, since this note is being written yesterday morning. The Signalling Competition takes place tomorrow and it is hoped that the weather will be fair for this oc- ' casion. The various teams will meet at Ross' Corners at 2.00 p.m. and will bring their flags with them. We wish everybody all the suc- cess in the world and we hope the best team wins, Detailed instructions have heen mailed to the various Scoutmasters.

Burgess A BIRD WITH TWO TAILS Who has no more than meets his need | Is not to be accused of greed. ~=Cocky the Round Runner. Having had a race with Cocky the Road Runner and go bad a tairly good look at him, Farmer Brown's Boy was eager 10 know him better. So early the follow- ing morning, he was back at the place where he had secn Cocky. 'fo his great disappeintment, | Cocky did not come vat for an- other race. "Well, if he won't come out to me, 1 will have to go look sald Farmer Brown's Boy. "I suspect that he has a nest somewhere near here and J would give much to find it." So Farmer Brown's Boy began to "wander apout among the clumps of chollas and thorny shrubs, peering into them aud under them in the hope of find- ing a nest. He 'moved slowly, so #8 not to frighten any birds who might be near, For a lonz tYme he saw nothing save occasiviaally a startled Liazrd who dashed away, He was just about ready to give up when under a cactus he spied something which was not part of the plant, yet which he could not at first make out a: all, Now Farmer Brown's Boy was far too wise to walk direcily to- ward that cactus for he knew that that would be the surest way of alarming whoever might be hid- iug there. So he began to slowly walk in a circle around the cac+ tug, all the time drawing nearer and nearer to it. At last he was near enough to see better and what he saw was a bird standing perfectly still intently watching him, but such a hirl! It had two tails, one at each end, and while tail pointed almost straight up end was held stiffly, the other hung lmply, Now, of courss, Farmer Brown's Boy knew that there couldn't. there simply couldn't be a bird with a tail at each end, and yeu he was greatly puzzled. He could not see clearly, so he kept on slowly circling around that cactus, all the time drowing nearer, This time around brought him near enough to see clearly and what he saw surprised him almost ds much as what he had thought he had seen, It was Cocky the*Road Runner himself, and he did have two tails. Yes, sir, 'he did have two tails, aud hoth were long, However, one of them had no feathers and wasn't a part of Cocky, although it soon would be. It was the long slim 'tail of a Lizard hanging from Cocky's bill. The rest of the Liz- ard he had swallowed or at least partly swallowed, but the long tail still hung from his bill. There wasn't yet room for that, It was such a funny sight that Farmer Brown's Boy laughed right out, At the sound Cocky suddenly came to life, His own long tail lowered and he darted out from under that cactus and across to another clup like a brown streak, the tail of the lizard dragging on the ground. One more glimpse of him 1arm- er Brown's Boy got as he darted to another cholla clump and then disappeared. "Wait until I tell Cousin Tom that I have seen a bird with two tails," chuckled Farmer Brown's Boy. 'He will think that the heat has affected my eyes. And he really did have two tails. It must Le rather inconvenient sometimes te have part of one's dinner hang- ing from one's mouth until the remainder has digested enough to make room for it. Well, I know now that Cocky really does live about hére and it is up to me te find out where. If I can't find that nest today I'll come back to- morrow. That Road Runner is the most interesting fellnw I have sven since I came here. I feel fcolish looking In these prickly seem possible that any bird would choose such a place but at the ranch they tell me that no chol- ia is too prickly for the Road Runners, so I'll just keep on look- ing in every clump around here." Meanwhile, not far away, Cocky was watching from under u cactus while he waited for Far- mer Brown's Boy to go away and for the tail of that Lizard to go down his long throat. (Copyright, 1931, by T.

LIBRARY NOTES 3 AraRex oe - : ) Reeti Cultus Pectora Roborant.'"' a The Librarian spoke briefly to the Entrance Classes from the Public and St. Gregory's School which visited the Collegiate last Friday. He distussed the place of the library in the lives of the students and the Summer Reading Plan... Application blanks were given to each of the hoys and girls who was not a user of the Junior Public Library. Parties of librarians from To- ronto schools and colleges visited the library on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Miss Wilder, Miss Thompson, and Miss Smart addressed a number of 1i- brary classes while Miss Bassam. Miss Merchant and Miss Mustard of the Ontario Library School "listened in" on the Librarian's lectures on the History of World Liteiiture. P) | CHANGES IN FIELD | NATURALISTS' CLUB | { The regular meeting of the B. | F.N.C. was held in the Library on | Friday, May 29th, at 4.15 p.m. | Present were: The Sponsor, Wm, | Beaton, 8. Chang, A. F. Blyth, J. Peacock, M, Stacey, J. Perkins, H. Bateman. The minutes of the last meeting were read by A, Blyth, In the absence of the chairman, the librarian presided. After some argument over wheth- er or not the minutes of a certain committee meeting should be in- cluded in the regular minutes of the Club, the minutes were finally adopted without amendment, Af- ter the roll-call the {treasurer's report was given. It showed a balance of $5.69 in the bank. A letter was received from the presi- dent, tendering in his resignation, It was accepted with regret. The ex-president contributed much to the life of the Club. In spite of factional differences within the Club, everyone recognized that he always had the Club's best inter- ests at heart, A motion intro- ducing radical changes in the Constitution was proposed by the Sponsor and seconded by the Sec- retary. After much heated argu- ment it carried with a majority of 6. The Sponsor, the Secretary, 8. Chang and Wm. eBaton carried the motion, The opponents left the meeting as an indication that they thoroughly disagreed with the changes being wrought. Pro- visignal officers to complete the year are: The Sponsor (acting president), A. F. Blyth, Secretary, J. Peacock, Treasurer. Pending Lhe fate of constitutional changes, no officers will be elected to fill va- eancies created by resignations, The afternoon programme includ- ed papers on Belostoma Ameri. canum and the spring migration of birds. Black Spuirrels on the school grounds, seminalmated plovers at the Lake, and flocks of Canada Geese were reported. The new Constitution which will go into effect June 26th changes the character of the Club. Instead of being a field-natural- ists' club pure and simple, it will incorporate into its programme the study of literature, pure sci- ence, and philosophy. A number of mew members will be added shortly because of the enlarged scope of the field covered.
