Whitby Boy Scouts will conduct théir second paper salvage collection next Saturday. The net proceeds of the sale of this waste paper will be used to finance Scout work in Whit- by. Here is a chance to clear out that accumulation from last winter. Cel- lars look neat again and a definite fire hazard removed after the Scouts take away these piles of paper. Group committee officials advise that the collection will start at 8.30 Saturday morning. For neatness and easy handling, bundles should be tightly tied.

At two-week" intervals students of Grade VI and up, assemble in the town hall to hear a red- coated Mountie talk and show movies. Experience has shown police forces that the only constructive way to curb crime is to stop it before it starts by instilling in potential delin- quents a proper attitude of mind. It is a matter for regret that Grade 1V and V students could not also have benefited from the lectures. Similar work is being undertaken by the R.C.M.P. all over Canada in conjunction with the schools and with per- mission of Boards of Education. We are glad to see it recog- nized' in Whitby that the policeman's work is preventive yather than punitive. The eager questions from a score of children at the close of the last lecture show that they can talk freely to the policeman as a friend and are taking a sincere interest in what he has to say. Chief William Elliott also thought it worth his while to be present at the meeting and was invited to say a few words. Teachers and a member of the Board of Education were also present. We predict encouraging results from this kind of work. It is well for the young to know that Canadian laws and traditions are something to be proudly maintained. Plea to Understand Mind of Boy Is Made To Mother's Group Why: Scouting appeals to the mind of a boy and what it can ac- complish for him was the theme of an address given to the Whitby Scout Mother's Auxiliary, fathers and guests in the council chambers last night. Leonard Knight, execu- tive commissioner for Oshawa delivered the talk in a fluent, sin- written instructions to Scouts, leaving the part that would be fun for boys and of use in their development. ) To his surprise the youth of England devoured his book dis- covering the glories of boating, fresh air, camping, cook- hiking, | cere and perceptive manner. Presi- dent Mrs. H. H. Rowley introduced the guest. . Beginning .in a humorous vein, Mr. Knight brought out the point that the child's world is an imagin- ative realm wherein he can be a cowboy, race car driver or a thousand and one shimmering characters, at will. A boy is a natural spectator; it is impossible to set off a firecracker without collecting a thousand boys! As a boy grows, his childhood penchant for imitation directs it- self to organized forms of activity. When young Johnny drags out all the kitchen crockery and uses mother's best plate for a steering- wheel he has no thought of making a mess of the kitchen--he sees himself a 'driver piloting some huge truck down an endless high- way. At play, the boy can, at the | snap of -a finger, change himself into anything or anyone. At the dge of 12 or 13 he likes to have a group of friends. If his activity is then directed in a gool channel everything comes out all right. Otherwise it may be a dif- ferent story. How It Began In his youth, the late Lord Baden-Powell was a' typical youth, fond of the out-of-dodrs. He had learned woodcraft and bush tactics that he later turned to vital use in the service of his country when confronted with the guerrilla tac- tics of the Boers. He taught his men to stalk and track. These Scouts became the salvation of the British army in that campaign. After the war he removed the purely military application of his Whitby Classified CARS FOR SALE---'38 Club Coupe, new paint, good tires, exceptionally good motor, heater, de- froster.

Finally the King asked Baden-Powell to set up the Boy Scout Association which sub- sequently spread around the world. efore long it became apparent that a revised program was need- ed for younger boys and so the founder of Scouting took a favorite Kipling jungle tale which he in- corporated in a simple program and a law which every boy could understand. Inspiring 'Atmosphere Mr. Knight gave a vivid descrip- tion of how the atmosphere at a good cub meeting is a thrilling ex- perience for any boy. Out of doors camping and camp fire are even more impressive. All this training points development toward good citizenship. Scouting puts a "stamp" upon a boy which can help him immeasurably in later life, the speaker concluded.

Constitution Of Local Association Is Explained Answering questions on Scout- ing problems and organization at the Mother's Auxiliary meeting last night, Leonard Knight, execu- tive commissioner for Oshawa ex- plained that a Local Association is constituted by the yearly calling together of all persons interested in Scouting in a community. From this group a president, executive officers and directors are elected. This body is under direction of the provincial office. Group committees are similarly constituted but their function is to support individual troops. Mr. Knight also answered other ques- tions pertaining to the work. President Mrs. H. H. Rawley presided. The secretary "Mrs. A. Denyer gave a report on the assis- tance this women's group has given to Scouts and Cubs in many ways during the past year. Other speakers included Scoutmaster Bill Lawlor; assistant Don Gilchchrest; Cubmasters Art Patterson and Fred Warburton; Harry Jermyn and Frank Wells. At the conclusion of the meeting the auxiliary served lunch to about 60 members and guests. NEARLY CHANGED HISTORY Oliver Oromwell, who defeated and dethroned Charles I of Eng- land booked passage to America when he was young, but Tailed to Policeman As Friend Talks to Children On Discipline, Courtesy Real interest in what he had to say more than respect for his scarlet tunic held Grade VI, VII and VIII children spellbound in the town hall yesterday afternoon as Mountie Constable Charles Coleman of the Personnel Section, R.C.M.P., lectured on Courtesy and Citizenship. "A lot of people think they don't have to be courteous to the folks? they serve," he told the children. "That's all wrong," Constable Cole- man said that it isn't smart to be a 'tough guy.' Courtesy is not a sign of weakness. Only the unintelligent boys and girls are discourteous. "Still you don't have to be a 'yes man' to everyone," said the consta- ble. "Learn how to say no and still be courteous." He went on to say that no brave acts can be performed without self- discipline and he gave illustrative stories of his points. Summing up he said that the courteous person is the well-liked person. Thrilling Film Turning off the lights, the lec- turer. showed a MGM Pete Smith specialty film with the title (motto of the R.CM.P.) "Maintain The Right." The Whitby children gave their utmost attention to pictures of a Mountie's training and the re- tribe turned in their own guilty man to the R.C.M.P. barracks. Many Questions At the close of the picture the children were allowed to ask ques- tions. These Constable Coleman an- swered with aplomb although some were 'stickers.' According to his own statement, a Mountie has to study everything from "manicuring horses to chemistry." Next picture on April 26 is a 40- minute film called "Through The North-West Passage". enactment of an actual murder case investigation. The constable had traced his man to an Indian tribe but there he found many of the tribe stricken with disease. He tended the sick with care but was himself taken sick. However, before he died, he did find the murderer. Grateful for his ministrations, the POWER OF THE PRESS Obituary. MRS.
