The Boy Scout movement, he said, is a training ground in prepa- ration for citizenship and service to the community. "In a phrase, Scout- ing's chief aim is to build better boys for the glory of God and the future of Mankind." In organizing the system of Scouting for boys, Mr. Edmondson explained, Lord Robert Baden- Powell conceived Scouting as look- ing to the future, and, as a "move- ment," being continually on the move, and abreast of the times. "The money we get from. the Community Chest," he" said, "pro- vides for the development of our young citizens. More concretely, it pays for such things as insurance for the boys, to protect them from any injury which might occur dur- ing their Scouting activities. Be- cause all Scout property is tax-free, we cannot enter any competitive money-making activities. All we have to depend on is the Com- munity Chest." "The citizens of Oshawa, by con- tributing to this project, are direct- ly making possible the achievement and execution of the Scout objec- tive: Building better boys." dy Will Act As Premier Until Convention Is Held = Toronto, Oct. 13--(CP)--Serious shortage of public school accom- modation in Suburban Leaside was forecast Wednesday in a report by a planning committee of the Board of Education.
