It was only through the medium of such gath- seings that the world can hope to get international understanding. "There is no short cut, You can. not leave out one storey," Lord Rowallan sald in telling his audi- ence that a start must be made on the foundation of spiritual faith; love and loyalty to the family and loyalty to the community and the country in which we live. "National spirit is all very well but how poor ly we would have been off if the Scotch, the Irish and the English all thought alike, You must keep your individuality if you are to be strong and play your part in the world," Cautioning against the develop- ment of boys by mass rearmament, the Chlef Scout sald each should be developed according to his own capacity and along his own indivi- dual lines, That, he said, is the iad of scouting and its flexibil- y. It was emphasized that this plac es great responsibility upon the iy Turning First Sod For New Hospital at Trenton A representative group of prominent citizens in Trenton and district, interested in the Trenton Memorial Hospital, attended the ceremony of the turning of the first sod on August 20.

In addition, the work of execu- tives, instructors, examiners, moth- ers and fathers is essential to the Jur tiesatics of the training of the Need Outside Interests Lord Rowallan insisted that scout officials should have a social life of their own and Interests outside of scouting and cubbing in order to maintain their freshness. They could not do this If they were called upon to spend 5, 6 or 7 nights a week in scouting, Referring to the high calibre of the leaders in his audience, the Chief Scout voiced the wish that every place in the British Empire had such alert leaders and had such a fine spirit, "We are all looking forward to the young leaders, who served dur ing the war, coming back to scout. ing to give us a hand, We want young men of initiative and imagin- ation to Instill new blood, but we would be unreasonable to expect them back right away. They must have time to become accustomed to peacetime activities and for that reason we must exercise patience, I must stress that I am not asking you to give up your whole lives to scouting, Divide the work and la bor among many so it wil] be a part. time job of great importance to the future of the movement, "Thank you for the magnificent support you have given us in Osh- awa.

Prefacing his remarks, Lord Row- (allan asked Mrs, McLaughlin to convey to her husband his sincere wishes for a speedy recovery and his sorrow that he was not able to be present for the opening of Camp Samac "which will remain forever as a reminder of his greatness of heart and willingness to serve." , New Chapter Opened Greeted with the singing of "Hap-~ py Birthday to You," Dr, John A. Stiles, who was celebrating his birth day, spoke briefly after the Chief Scout, reminding the leaders that they were his representatives and they must not let him down. He voiced the opinion that; a new chapter in scouting has been open- ed and that scouting law is the moral code of the British people. Scouts must be prepared to live the Scout life throughout the day. Pride of family made the Empire and can make Canada today, he sald, in urging scouts to seek the opportunity of doing a good turn every day and make scout law part of thelr life, "You must get back to God, pray more and consecrate your life to God," he sald in conclusion. One of the highlights of the luncheon was the presentation by Fred Short of the 3rd Oshawa Cub iroon of $7496 for the hins-Up Fund to Lord Rowallan, The money was donated by the scouts, cubs, guides and brownies of the district. Letters voicing regret at their in- ability to. attend were read by Pre- sident Hopkins from Col. R. 8. Me=~ Laughlin, Mrs, Dann, Commissions er of Guides; J. F. M, Stewart, W. 3 J, Tisdale and Harry Carmich- ael, President Hopking expressed the appreciation of the executive to N. H, Daniel, W. G. Corben, A. Clark and Byron 8. Edmondson and the members of their committees for their planning of the opening and thanked the Mothers' Auxiliar- fies, under the direction of Mother's Council for providing the meal. President Hopkins also ex- pressed pleasure at the presence of Col, Frank Chappell, first presi- dent of the Oshawa Boy Scouts Association, Introducing the leaders of Osh- awa Scouting, District Commission er Harry Rigg referred to the fact | that the motto of the late Robert McLaughlin had been "One qualily ly and that the best," sald that was the type of scouting the executive would like to see established at Camp Samac, He hoped to see scouting grow in the city as there was plenty of room for expansion. He said he would like to see every boy and girl taken care of, If such an aim could be accomplished the future of the city would be assured. President Hopkins voiced the hope that the Girl Guides would accept the invitation to use the facilities of the camp whenever possible, Kd | know what progress you have been g | able to make in this matter, K ¥ | when visiting the airport, the situa- ¢ § | decision should long since have K A | been made by the department. / y LT 5 ¢|to take up the matter at Ottawa, 8 §| 20 definite action has as yet been § | taken, the Rehabilitation Council i | strongly feels that there should be R J | some explanation as to this very R &| apparent lack of interest at Ottawa, S¢@!in the welfare of the returned men g | and their families. Mayor F. N. McCallum tendered a civic welcome, The Chie! Scout showed keen in- terest in the General Motors War Veterans' Pipe Band, who, drawn up before the Council Hall prior to the luncheon, played the special Lord Rowallan march written by a member of the 2nd Highland Light Infantry, Lake Is Popular Outside the Council Hall was scene of pastoral beauty as Scouters and Gulders avalled themselves of facilities of the camp grounds. Cubs and Guides formed in long lines along the beach to await their turn for a ride in the skiffs, Oth- ers tried out the rope bridge ercct- ed in front of the Council Hall Some just relaxed after their mid- day meal under the trees against a background of tents below the dam. The refreshment tents all drew their quota of enthusiasts as did the city street flusher which was bor- rowed for the day to provide drink- ing water, There is no gainsaying the fact that the official opening of Camp Samac will be a day long remem- bered by those who were privileg- cd to attend, LAGK OF ACTION (Continued from Page 1) proposal but the reply had not even mentioned this angle. The letter from Mr. Reld, in part, was as fol- lows: "Thank you very much for your | letter of July 27th with the clipping | the R A | over six months since I discussed d | the matter with you, and solicit Bd! Oshawa is deeply concerned with 8 ¢| lack of housing accommodation for 8 § | returned men, and, as I also point- ¥ § | ed out to you, all necessary arrang- K i | ments to prepare the buildings at i | the airport are complete; pending Kd| Cold weather is approaching and 4 | veterans desperately in need of ac- 4 | commodation for themselves i | families, and I cannot emphasize, RE d/|8ir, too strongly, that this matter | 5 ¢ | of housing accommodation for veter- | DQ| ans and their families, is of the § § | greatest urgency. R | when this matter was first brought from the Toronto Telegram. "I had previously discussed this with Mr, Gordon Murchison, Dir- ector of Veterans Land Act, and he is putting real pressure on to get these houses completed, My under= | standing is that while from the ex- | terior the houses appear to be fit | for occupancy this is not a fact. I belleve they have been unable, for instance, to get hardwood flooring and certain other essentials, Mr, Murchison is optimistic, however, | that fair progress will be made in | the immediate future, and that these houses will soon be available for veterans, I think I can say that he is just as worried as any of the veterans about not being able to get them into the homes quick= It was explained that the clipping referred to in Mr. Reid's letter was in connection with the Veterans Land Act Houses on Bloor Street East at 'Wilson Road. The meeting was informed also | that four of the houses on Bloor Street East have already been allo cated and that an official will be at the Legion Hall on Thursday of next week to pass on further appli cations, It has been promised, the meeting was informed, that the electricity will be turned on by Sep- tember 10 which will mean that the work of sanding the floors can be finished. . I Letter To Mr, Sindair Under date of August 6, Lt.-Col. Smith wrote to Mr. Sinclair as fol- lows: -- "Referring to our conversation and visit to the Oshawa Airport, last Easter, with regard to obtain ing permission from the Depart ment to use certain buildings, to house veterans and their families, I should be glad if you would let me "As I pointed out at that time, | fon is most acute and as it is now your assistance on behalf of the veterans, I feel that some definite "The Rehabilitation Council of authority from Ottawa to proceed. there is an increasing number of and "I, after a period of six months, to your attention and you promised "I should like to have this infor YL mation to lay before the Oshawa Rehabilitation Council at its next meeting so that the members and citizens, generally, and the veterans themselves will be acquainted with what has been done." Mr, Sinclair's Reply Under date of August 15, Mr. Sinclair replied as follows: -- "I have your letter of August 6. This matter has not been over- looked. I met His Worship the Mayor just last week-end when he was on his way home, and all that remains 1s for the Department to say the word and give the lease. "The last hold-up, I understand, is In connection with part of the bed of the creek at the east side of the airport, which it is proposed to deed to Mr. Bwitzer, the adjacent owner, Just why this should affect the glving of the lease I do not know, but I know that the Mayor has been following this matter right along, and saw some of the authorities last week when he was ' here, "I think possibly if you get In touch with the Mayor, he could tell you very definitely the present sit- uation."

OIL CAUSES BLAZE Firemen were called at 6.25 Fri- day when oll from an oil burner ig- nited in the home of R. Boivin, 7% Hall Street, The blaze was soon ex- tinguished and no damage was re- ported, NEW AUTO PRICES (Continued from Page 3) been envisioned. However, because of the strike and continuing short- ages caused by strikes, he said, some tax refund would be forth- co Excess Tax Reserve Wilson explained the intricacies of $160,000,000, "To make all of that available we would have to lose $190,000,000," he said, "Then we would get $160,000, Sonn ppm 000 of that back and we would have an operating loss on the balance sheet of $30,000,000." He said that another wave of na- tional strikes would be "the dumbest way of seeking a solution." Wilson at no time attempted to put the blanfe for current worker efficiency, which he said, was 85 per cent. of prewar efficiency, on the existence of unions, One of the causes cited for low- ered efficiency was the necessity of hiring inexperienced help and the "general restlessness after the war." 323,496 on Payroll He used figures to show that in 1041, when G.M. had a total em- ployment of only 274,857, the corp- oration had produced 65,000 cars and trucks a week. Now with an over-all employment of 323,496, Wilson said, the corpora- tion was proaucing at the rate of a little better than 500,000 units a year, Lead, copper and sheet steel, Wil- RAT son sald, were among the most pres. sing current shortages. He said the lead shortage mighi ry to ship can manufactured in October without batteries. y He explained, however, that earl. fer, when it looked as if thers wouldn't be enough lead for Sep- tember output, some of the manu- facturing heads said they would nol ship cars without batteries. G.M.,, he said, was now trying to get government permission to bug " " lead in the foreign market. Arturo Toscaninis father was 8 tailor, . Trailers For Sale!
