THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE 1awa SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1950 | 'Activities Of The Young People Of Os GIRL GUIDE ACTIVITIES ACTIVITIES By DON HOULDEN a On account of the Good Fri- day holiday yesterday, it has been impossible to publish all the Scout and Cub news today. The balance will appear in Monday's issue of The Times- Gazette. . SCOUT HERO'S THREE WISHES GRANTED Awarded a Silver Cross the life saving 13-year-old Scout Walter Ol- ney of Slave Lake, Alberta, recently visited Edmonton as the guest of the Edmonton Boy Scout Council. Durs ing the radio broadcast he was asked to name three things he wished he could do while in Edmonton. Like magic his wishes were granted: He had a plane ride as guest of the Ed- monton Flying Club, rode in a police motor cycle side car (with the siren jg going), .and slid down the big brass pole at a fire station. 4th OSHAWA CUB The meeting opened on time with Dues and Attendance being marked, followed by Inspection. Grand Howl was led by Sixer Bruce Johnston of he Black Six. A very good and quite different game under Scout Taylor had every- one trying to keep dry, keep the keys from rattling, and keep as qulet as possible. During Instruction: Barrie Apple- by, Don Wiskin, Don Salter and Grant Tunnicliffe passed Union Jack. Bill Martin passed 'God Save The King'. Instead of Campfire we practiced for the Tableau for our 'Father and Son Banquet" which is to be held on Wednesday, the 12th of April at 6:30 .m. P The meeting closed with Grand Howl and Prayers. THE OLD ONES. 7 "B" CUB PACK Ho-Hum! Pardon me, I'm still re- euperating from last weekend's camp -- at Samac. We had a good time with only a few mishaps. One of these we called the "Egg Incidemt", orrrr-- who likes burnt eggs? Baloo ac- cidentally laid an egg--I mean, she spilled them on the#stove. However, | no one' starved (I hope!) We had a lot of fun with "Pat and Mike" and Jimmy Bell's Elmer, as well as the trials of the mud and lost rubber boots, . hats, stars, blankets, pie plates, and practically everything in general. Wednesday night the meeting open- ed with Lawrence Allen *leading Grand Howl, flag break by Steve Zubkavich and prayers by Jackie Og- den, Dues were collected and an in- spection of scarves, paws and fur. Points were as follows: + Brown, 8; Black, 8; Red, 8; Green The (new point competition will start next week. Baloo changed the sixes around, and appointed the new sixers and seconds. Jimmy Bell is to remain the sixer, and Jimmy Clark is now the second of the Black Six; Steve Zubkavich is the new Brown sixer, and Jackie Ogden second; the Red Six is keeping both Doug #c- Lelland and Ted McGahey as sixer and srcond, respectively; Peter Pe- terson was appointed sixer of the Green Six and Ralph Day second. We tried to choose wisely and fairly and hope that these new leaders will prove themselves worthy of their po- sitions, and help the Old Wolves as much as possible. George and Kaa organized the pack in a relay race after which Baloo read a story '"The Two Gifts'. We sang the 7th Song several times and then it was time to close. Peter Peterson took the Grand Howl and Steve Zubkavich lowered the flag. Don't forget to bring your cards or the money collected, to next week's meeting. Also--you may still bring any new chums, Good hunting pack! MOWGLI. GORD HAWKSHAW A suitable closure for an out- tanding congressional evening was rovided by Associate Justice Scott at the recent sitting of congress. Miss Scott delivered the third in a series of five addresses in the IP.P.SD.U. The topic of the Jute spokesman's address was. "Educa- tion." "Canada is embarking on an en- tirely new career in world politics," she said. "She is going to need more and smarter statesmen than ever before. They will have to tack- le the biggest problems we have ever faced and will need all the perception and skill at their com- mand. "In our time atomic energy has opened great new fields of re- search. Every day new discoveries are made in manufacturing proces- ses and inventions, Technicians, chemistry engineers and crafts- men are needed to expand these fresh ideas." Miss Scott drew the attention of the congressmen to the demand for social service personnel. "Sud- denly people are aware of their so- cial obligations and they call on education to supply them with the means to fulfil them. -- Doctors, teachers, nurses, directors, are now invaluable members in the modern well-ordered society. It would ap- ar, then, that education is a ust for the average young man or woman. Yet every day, students leave school. They leave for a va- riety of reasons -- money, illness, inability to learn more, or finan. cial reasons; they just can't afford to go further. These are the peo- ple I want to talk about. They have the necessary intelligence, but not enoygh money. No one wins any- thing by their not going to col- lege; much may be Jost. "We have system of scholarships whereby the student of outstanding ability can gain money to aid him in his school career. But too often, the most brilliant member of the school has no need of the money. I don't think that these students should not be recognized for their merit just because their parents bave a comfortable income. I do 'think a mor: efficient method should be adopted to help the pu- pils who need ft. "Someone, I suppose, will * gay, "Let him work his way through college, if he wants to go. Well, take a good look at the man who is doing the talking. He doesn't look as if he had done that little thing. does he? No, because no one who has ever held down a part-time Job d 'ng examinations would oo: that on anyone, "The Department of Veterans' Affairs has done admirable work in encouraging the returning men to pursue their studies after the re- cent war," said the Associate Jus- tice. "Why, then, can't a similar plan be worked out for civilians?" "As President Conant of Hare vard has sald, 'equality of educa- tional opportunity is still far from an accom lish id fact' I would like to add that in a democracy, it . should be ancient history." : * » * Miss Scott was the first lady to address the IP.PSD.U since As- iate Justice Day addressed the oup on February 10, 1949. Miss Scott's address contained all the qualities of a fine oration and should stand her in good. stead 'when the time for voting on the . He" { person to receive the IPP.S.D.U. trophy rolls around. Graduation Planned The library was the scene on Thursday, of a mass meeting of fifth form students. For many of the students, it was the first time this year that they had been in the library during lecture hours, and it definitely was the first time this year that the librarian had met the upper schoolers as a group. The crowded timetables in this two session system have forced the abolition of upper school library periods In the past two years, Mr. Slyfield addres ed the stu- dents on the subjects of reading and modern teen-age trends. In his fiery address he emphasized the absolute necessity of student-book relationships and of higher educa- tion = the only escape from mobo- cracy. He mentioned several cur- rent news items which have dis- played a lack ¢* educational guid- ance and drew attention to the eternal alibi of "having nothing to do. "Anyone w. » admits be has noth- ing to do," he said, "is admitting that he is morally, spiritually, and mentally bankrupt. I, myself, could use a seventy-two hour day." After the conclusion of the ad- dress the librarian collected the re- quired six book reports from each student and the subject of the meeting changed to the discussion of this year's graduation function. Suggestions for . the function were accepted, discussed and voted upon. The final proposal being that there be a banquet followed by a semi-formal dance with orches- tra and no corsages. These propos- als are not definite, However, they do provide a cross-section of what the graduates want and what they think is best for the school and for themselves. Big Night What's going on April 21? That, my friends, is the big night for the next school dance. Take note of the following: there will be re- freshments, prizes, contests, stage show and, of course, dancing to the latest record hits. Everybody is go- ing out to have a big post-Easter fling before settling down to the tough grind ahead. Keep the date open. 1 at's two weeks from last night (April 21) at the O.C.V.I. au- ditorium at 8.30 p.m. One Year Ago One of the best publicity stunts ever seen around the O.C.V.I. was based on the student body. 'The stunt began as a very worn ple- in-the-face act for the purpose of advertising the "Eve of Folly." Through rrors in judgment the 'ple" missed "the face" and landed smack in the middle of the curtains on the stage. However, while the dejected Messrs, Skochko and Moffatt were standing pie syed ip front of the meringue-splattered curtain, the dance was receiving this greates. of publicity 'unts. Within half-an- hour of the unfortunate ineident the whole school was talking about the skit, and, of course, the dance. It was good advertisement but ra. ther costly, especially for the fellas who had to spend the rest of the morning trying to remove the mer. ingue from the curtain. On April 5 and 6, of last year the O.C.V.I. orchestra presented one of | the most enter*aining musicales ev- er produced by a student group. R.C.S.C.C.

'To qualify for show parade you must be out for this parade. Wm. J. Askew, Sub/Lt. Executive Officer. LAR J PART II This past week has certainly been dull as far as weather has been con- cerned and it seems as though the weatherman is allied with the ele- ments, for each parade night seems to be the night that we do have bad weather in the week. Giving the highlights of the past week we find that what we thought were birds whistling was none other than P.O. Maule and some of the senior rates practising the intrica- cies of the Bosun's Call. Which brings us to the fact that whistling is not allowed aboard the ships of His Majesty's Navy, This is easily explained when it is understood that most if not all shipboard sig- nals are "piped", and we can readily guess how confusing it would be for a call to be piped with someone standing nearby whistling. Mentioned in earlier issues of the log was the reference to our new ship's log which contains the neces- | Pra: sary calls both for "Pipe" and bugle. If you get the chance lads take a glance at it for you will find it ex- tremely interesting. But talking about the ship's log reminds us that each parade night a different watch is on duty. Don't let your watch down by being absent when your division is mentioned in Part I of the Watchbill as next for duty. Speaking of the weather, as I did earlier, also reminds us that summer camp, (Princess Alice) dates have been set for "Drake", July 17 to July 29. Next Tuesday, weather permit- ting, the corps will go on a short route march and your presence, and in. uniform, will be appreciated, no doubt. Did you know that the first arm- ored battleship was the HM.S. War- rior (1859) most of whose length was lined with "4%" inch plates. But that the American Civil War demonstrated the value of heavily armored gun turrets, the Union Navy gunboat, the Monitor, being the first to use them. Well lads I shall outline Battle~ ship data for the next couple of weeks then over to other facts of our commonwealth navies. X.0. Young People's Church Groups CALVARY BAPTIST Y.P.U. The Young People of Calvary Baptist Church held their weekly meeting Monday evening, under the leadership of Miss Margaret Alloway and opened with the sing- ing of "Jesus Shall Reign." Miss Onda Turner read the scripture which was found in Philemon. Miss June Edwards and Miss Pauline Hooper sang a duet, "That's Why I Love Him." Mr. Blake Hunt showed an ine teresting and instructive sound film, "Charge That To My Ac- count," based on the book of Phile-~ mon, It was an illustrative sermon by Dr. H. A. Ironside on the run- away slave. The final hymn for the evening was "Jesus Paid It All" Next week's meeting will be in charge of the Intermediate Young People. HARBOR OPENING DELAYED Montreal, April 8 --~ (CP) -- Ice conditions in Montreal Harbor are normal but unfavorable condjtions further downstream may prevent the first ships from reaching the harbor for several weeks, port offi- cials said Friday. They pointed out that only a prolonged spell of warm weather and the work of icebreak- ers smashing the ice jams can en- able ocean-going vessels to reach Montrea] around April 14, the pre- viously fixed opening date of the Harbor. . : The productions were a triple sue- cess with quality of performance, quantity of attendance and a good juantity of the right quality of re muneration. * + + Cong ass wil! convene Thursday morning at 9:00 a.m. for ts second annual all-day sitting. Because of that -itting there will be a column next week. next |it COOKIE DAY -- APRIL 20th Guides and Brownies are request- ed to solicit orders for Girl Guide Cookies during Easter Week.

The 7th Pack from upstairs joined with our Pack for the Enrollment, as Brown Owl en. rolled six Tweenies from Tth Pack and one from 1st. White Tawny (Mrs. Watson) was out walking in the woods, she met the seven Tweenies in the wood, and she asked them their names and what they wanted. They all repeated that they wanted to become Brownies. So she then led them to the Magic Pool where they all repeated their verse, after which they were then taken to Brown Owl who was walting at the Toadstool for them. While the Packs were standing at half salute the Tweenies repeated théir Prom- ise, and were each presented with a shiny Recruit Pin. Their new Sixer welcomed them into the Six, fol lowed by the Grand Howl by the Packs, the packs joined in several singing games, and a story was also played on the récopder for the benefit of the visiting Brownies. .

There was great excitement at Guide House last Saturday as Third held its first supper party. Diana Nobbin, Mary Terry and June Terry did the planning in order to try for their Hostess. They were assisted by the girls who had already earned the badge in the preparation and serving of the meal. The younger Guides arrived at 4:15 and did a fine job of setting the table, Our guests for the evening were Mrs. Topham and Miss Moyse. When the meal was over, the Guides formed a horseshoe. Miss Moyse then presented Margaret Mao- Gregor with her First Class badge. She made special mention of the fact that Margie was the first Guide in Third, in fact we believe in Oshawa, to earn the badge before reaching Collegiate. Her sister is a Blue & White Cord Guide and her brother a King's Scout. Well done Margie! We have high hopes of you earning your Gold Cords. A Second Class badge and Handy- woman's was presented to Joan Soo. Also receiving Handywoman's were Christine Gray, Diana Nobbin, Anna Jean MacMillan, and Joy Walker. Miss Yule presented Health badges to M. Farrow, C. Gray, D. Nobbin, M. Terry, J. Wood. While the P.L.'s took care of the dishes, and it really is no hardship in such a lovely kitchen, the three hostesses led the company in both lively and quiet games. Marg. Haines led the girls in square dancing until all were quite ready to sit down and sing along with the record player. More dancing, then Taps brought a most enjoyable evening for thirty- six people, and everyone did their share to make it a perfect party. From the Guides and Guiders of Third a great big thank you to Diana, Mary and June. M. R. PALMER (Captain). -- 2nd GUIDE CO. Eighteen Guides answered Roll Call on Wednesday at 7 o'clock. Horseshoe formation followed and Lieut. Wright enrolled four girls as new Guides of the 2nd Co. Welcome to Beverly Pine, Marilyn Fletcher, Diana Williams and Marilyn Bunker.

Campfire found us singing the songs that we are going to sing at our banquet next week, Taps closed the evening. 6:30, Guide House, on Friday, 14th. The Co. would like to say thank you to Mrs. Pine for coming down TIS FOR TEENS:- "How can you date a girl with- out spending much money?"-- That's a good question! It's from a high school who lives in a small town and has no money to spend except what he earns. Any idea for him? Here are suggestions for date-time fun that don't call for a 'bulging billfold. 1. Get a four-some together--two boys and two girls--to play games, There are lote of card games that are easy and fun. Some high schoolers are now absorbed in learning to play bridge and the boys enjoy it as much as the girls do. Také turns having the game at your homes and get an inex- pensive rule 'book, if necessary. Bridge is a social asset everywhere; you'll be glad you learned to play 2. Plan a picnic in somebody's Jackyard, the town's picnic spot or a place where a fire is permitted. Get your pals together, invite gizls More Pocket Book Problems By ELINOR WILLIAMS who will bring marshmallows, rolls, pickles, etc. Boys provide hot dogs, soft drinks, gather firewood, build the fire and put it out carefully afterwards. Take a musical instru~ ment -- a harmonica will do -- sing favorite songs. 3. Hike to a pleasant spot on Saturday or Sunday afternoon. 4. Plan a bicycle ride with a stop for ice cream or a stroll and a cold soft drink. 5. Go to a community band con- cert, dance or other social events that cost little. Girls like to be invited to attend them. 6. Any chance of clearing enough space In a barn for a small barn dance with records provinding mu. sic?. Boys could all contribute to soft drinks to keep on ice; no other expense would be necessary. Have a "Paul Jones," slipper dance, ladies' choice, etc. to keep things lively, APRIL 10th - 15th Monday ~-- 8:30 am.--~Boys' trip to Toronto. 7:00 pm.~St. John Ambulance Cadet Corps. a.m.~--Open House for boys. p.m.~Open House for boys. p.m.--Public Library. p.m~Open House for girls. pm.~Induction for Ambu- lance Cadets, 8t.

Tawny called the Roll and. there were twenty-two present, Fairy Gold was placed in the heart of a special Flower guarded by two large Bunnies. Lots of things were accomplished in the Test Period.

We were then all served to an Easter Treat of a chocolate Bunny. Taps closed the Pow Wow and all the Easter Chums hopped off to their Six Corners and were changed into Real Brownies to go home.

Young Devotees Worry Industry Television is growing sensation=- ally in the United States because of its intense fascination for view= ers, but this very quality is bring- ing headaches to the fledgling ine dustry. Particular concern is being ex- pressed by various groups and ine dividuals south of the border about television's effect on children. This is centred mainly about two points: 1. Possible harmful effects of crime shows, 2. Time taken away from stu~ dents' homework. Chairman Wayne Coy of the US, Federal] Communications Commis- sion, which regulates all forms of broadcasting, expressed concern recently over "crime on the air," both on radio and video. "The commission is the recipient of mounting protests against the merchants of death and the hawk- ers of horrors on radio and tele vision,"" he said at a University of Oklahoma radio conference, "Our files of letters protesting crime programs are bulging. The situa- tion is rapidly worsening." Coy cited a survey by a Califor- nia group of 300 pediatricians, so- ciologists and other authorities on child welfare showing 90 per cent believed crime programs have a detrimental effect on children. He also recalled a survey last fall by another California group listing 91 murders, plus numerous other crimes, on other programs of Los Abeeies television stations in one week. : Two Roselle, N.J,, high school in- structors have made a survey eof the school's 900 pupils showing that 310 with television at home had substantially lower grades than those who did not wateh tele vision, The survey showed marks of seventh and eighth graders dropped 15 per cent after televi- sion came into the home, While television is regarded as potentially a great educational me- dium, the survey indicated only 17 per cent of the pupils who had television at home had ever watche ea educational programs, ? One of the teachers said two ductions could be drawn from a preliminary examination of the survey: the broadcasting compan- ies and the schools should try %e focus more attention on education programming; By LEONARD L.
