THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1951 PAGE FOUR #3, H. ORMISTON -.Editor and Manager ~.. PHONE 703 WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS ROBT. CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 'Chief Aim of Scouts Is Character Building Rotary Club is Told % . "The chief aim of the Boy Scout - 'movement is to build individual :' gharacter into every boy we handle, and the Scout program is so de- signed that every Scout will receive the maximum in character devel- opment and training to make him ""& good citizen," Scout Commissioner *.for Central Ontario Jack Atkinson * fold the Whitby Rotary Club at its juncheon in Hotel Whitby on Tues- - day. e visit of the Commissioner ~ was planned to tie in with the an- 'nual Scout Apple Day to be held "en Saturday next, and to focus the attention of the citizens at this _¢ime on the work the Scouts are do- ing through the Local Boy Scouts Association, Rotarian Don Wilson, Association chairman, introduced the Commissioner, who was thank- _'ed at the close of his address by Rotarian Bill Forbes. The Commissioner outlined at some length the program of train- ing received by the Cubs, the Scouts snd the Rovers, so that when they grow up into manhood they may become leaders in the community, federal and world spheres of ser- vice. "The Scouts in a word are learning to be better citizens," he said. '" The program of the Scouts was . wery simple, but nevertheless many "adults who had the essential qual- ities of leadership avoided this fine jece of youth welfare, saying that ey had never been Scouts and . knew nothing of its aims and ob- ! jects or methods of training. There 'was & dearth of good leaders, the Commissioner said. The Commissioner spoke of the simple but very essential things of {ilife, such as learning first aid, to + cook in the open spaces, to be man- Umerly and polite and have regard .:for others, to be neighborly, and to ¥try doing a good turn every day. 1, He referred to the many lives saved iin Canada through Scout interven- tion, mentioning particularly the i two Whitby Scouts who last sum- mer saved a boy from drowning in \'Lynde's creek by using first aid ' knowledge to stop the blood flow from a wound, sustained when the boy's- foot struck a sharp stone. Deeds like this were |duplicated many times by the Scouts, the Com- missioner said. The Scout law and promise to "do my best; to do my duty to God and the King; to keep the law of the Wolf Pack and to do a good turn to somebody every day," was affirmative, not negative. It knows no compulsion, but puts a Scout on his own, giving him a sense of re- sponsibility in spiritual and mater- jal things to which he can, if he has a mind and will so to do, live up to. The Commissioner pointed out that in their course of training cubs, scouts and rovers are impress- ed with the fact that a Scout's honor is to be trusted; a Scout is loyal, a Scout's duty is to be useful and help others; that he is a friend to all and a brother to every other Scout; to be courteous, a friend to animals, that he should obey the orders of his parents, patrol leader, or scoutmaster without question; that he should whistle and smile under all difficulties, that he must be thrifty and clean in thought, word and deed, These, he said, were some of the great essentials of good citizenship and moral living, The speaker said that he was very proud of the progress being made in the Scout movement in Whitby and expressed his appreci- sation to the leaders and those as- sociated with him, In moving a vote of thanks to the Commissioner, Rotarian Bill Forbes thanked him for what he had done on his visits here during the past year for the local Association and Scout leaders. Guests at the luncheon included Bcoutmaster Don Gilchrist and Dave Stewart. According to Japanese tradition Jimmu, first emperor of Japan, ascended the throne in B.C. 660.

Cafeteria Part Of Modern School All students attending Pickering District High School next fall will be able to enjoy hot lunches served in a modern cafeteria. The time has passed when those who lived near the school went leisurely home for a hot meal and helped mother with the dishes while those who stayed at school for lunch wasted one and one half hours waiting for them to return. Needless to say there were many times when rather serious mischief problems resulted because so many young people had so much time on their hands. All too often the sandwiches disappeared in five minufes flat so that enough time was gained to loaf around the school, the streets, the pool rooms and certain undesirable places for young people to hang out. Under these conditions, noon supervision of those who can not go home for lunch creates a serious problem. This modern school provides hot lunches at cost for all students. The lunch period is shortened to the length of a class period so that the cafeteria can accommodate everyone in three shifts. A hot dish will consist of a serving meat or meat substitute, potatoes, vegetable and bread and butter. This usually sells for about 20 cents. Milk in half pints is sold at cost and ice cream in various rolls, sandwiches, frost bites, cups and sundaes are available. A full line of fresh con- fectionery and baked goods is on sale for desserts. This makes pos- sible a complete meal including a hot dish, beverage and desserts for 30 to 35 cents or what it costs for provisions and labour. Those who do not get the complete meal bring sandwiches and purchase supple- mentary items. . In last weeks article it was ex- plained that the time saved by the shortened lunch period was used for extra-curricular activities at the end of the day. This gives the students three activity breaks in the daily program: Physical Edu- cation Period, Lunch Period, Extra- curricular period. Regular teaching periods are be- ing carried on for some of the students during the whole school day since the lunch periods are staggered so that % of the student body is having lunch while the other % are being taught. School can also be dismissed earlier than the traditional 4 o'clock, and every- one gets home earlier to do the chores or run the paper route.

By night -- and on Sundays -- he becomes Rev. Denys Rankilor, rec- tor of St. Martin's-on-the-Hill Re- formed Episcopal Church. But even two jobs aren't enough for the young Cambridge graduate. 'When he makes his pastoral call he asks to see the children's report cards. If a student has fallen down in one or two subjects Mr. Rankilor becomes an unpaid tutor, going to the home and coaching the child in his weak subject. "Education consists of physical, mental and spiritual training," says the rector, "and to arrive at this we use the home, school and church." Being both preacher and account- ant has its problems. Often he is called upon to hold special services, such as funerals, on week-days. "You have to be able to prove to your employer that you are of value Wanted to Buy Car But Got In Accident Instead Pleading guilty to charges of careless driving and driving without a permit, Robert Johnston, 26, Duf- ferin Street, Whitby, was fined $25 | and costs or one month and $10 and | costs or 10 days concurrent. | Sergeant M. C. Banks testified | that the accused man had "had a| few beers." He went to the used car lot of Simpson Motor Sales and ask- ed to be shown a car which was there on consignment. Then he ask- ed to drive it. After he had gone only a few yards, the car went out of control at the corner of Byron | Street, swerved around the corner | to the south and sideswiped a car belonging to J. M. Roblin, county registrar. Damage to the Roblin car was estimated at $200 while only $50 was done to the other car. Johnston admitted he was not an experienced driver. N.Z. Police Break Up 1,000-Man Parade Wellington, N.Z., May 2 (Reuters) --Police broke up a march of 1,000 striking dockers today. About 100 police used their night sticks on the strikers when they tried to march, through police lines from the Wellington Trades Hall to the parliament buildings. They | dispersed after being told a deputa- tion would be allowed to meget the government, The clash climaxed a series of | violent incidents, connected with | the 3%-month-old dock strike, which have flared up in the last 48 hours, to him, even though you must take time off during working hours," said Mr. Rankilor.

Ruddy. » N Ice Cream Industry's 100 Years This year marks the 100th an- niversary of the ice cream industry, relates the New York Times, Since 1851, when Jacob Fussell opened his first factory in Baltimore, ice cream has been converted from an expensive, hard-to-make delicacy to one of the seven basic foods-- and America's favorite, at that! It is interesting to note that the billion-dollar ice cream industry, with its 3,700 wholesale factories and 535,000,000-gallon output in 1950 came into being because a housewife and a country produce dealer each faced a separate probe lem many years ago. Tedious Process In 1846 an American woman named Nancy Johnson rebelled at | the arduous task of making what then passed for ice cream. The chore required cooking ingredients, then placing the pot in a pan of salt and ice, all of which had to be shaken by hand until the ice cream reached the desired consistency. No mechanic, but determined, the lady put the salt and ice into a wooden tub and equipped it with some gears and a turning handle. In doing so, she solved her own problem and established a basic technique by which the ice cream industry has operated since. Five years later Nancy Johnson made the first hand-cranked freezer and Jacob Fussell used a similar device to solve a business problem. Milk Surplus To cover the needs of his milk customers, he had entered into an agreement with some farmers to purchase all their milk in flush seasons as well as In times of short supply. This arrangement was all right in the winter, but gave Fus- sell more milk than he could pos- tion which still affects the nation's dairy industry. So,.he ventured into the wholesale manufacture of ice cream, the hand-cranked freezer and surplus milk enabling him to sell his product at less than half Four Theft Woman, 28, Sentenced To 2 Months A pretty, 28-year-old Pickering Township mother of two children, Mrs Rolard Thibert, was yester- day sentenced to two months in the county jail on a conviction of keeping liquor for sale. Her home at Lot 26, Concession 3 of Picker- ing Township, was declared a pub- lic place for one year. Counsel for 8s. Thibert was George Frame of Brougham, "I am sorry but I have no doubt in my mind as to what happened and must register a conviction," said Magistrate F. S. Ebbs giving judgment. "Under the circumstances, the minimum sentence of two months is not unjust," sald Crown Attor- ney Alex Hall, . Mrs. Thibert was charged that within three months ending March 11 she kept liquor for sale. Her liquor permit, introduced in evi- dence, showed purchases of 89 quarts of spirits in seven months. Crown witnesses, Willlam Cassidy and Pat Cherry of Pickering were picked up one night in'March by Provincial Constable Gordon Keast. They said they had purchased 12 pints of beer at the home of Mrs. Thibert. In evidence, Cherry said that he gave Mrs. Thibert a $10 bill in payment for the beer and received charge. Mrs. Thibert said she had merely charged the money, but accepted no payment, Obituary F. F. BALSDON Brantford, May 2 -- Frederick F.

Will Mechanize Diamond Mines Winnipeg -- (CP) -- A Canadian, Dr. John T. Williamson of Montreal, several years ago discovered one of the world's richest diamond mines in Tanganyika, British East Africa. Now another, Robert A. Kipp of Winnipeg, may help mechanize the diamond-extracting process at pres- ent done by hand by native labor. The firm, Kipp Kelly Ltd., manu- factures concentrating and separate ing machinery used in the mining industry. Several months ago it re- ceived an inquiry about machinery which could separate diamond con- centrates. Mr. Kipp suggested samples be sent for laboratory tests here. But it developed Dr. Williamson was not allowed to ship diamond concen- trates out of Tanganyika, so it was decided the Winnipegger should make the 10,000-mile air journey with sample machines for on-the- spot tests. The company previously has sold machines to the tin-mining indus- try in Nigeria, to a Wolfram plant in Egypt and to mining concerns in North Africa, Australia, Scandina- via and other countries, WANT EQUAL RIGHTS Lake Success, N.Y., May 2--(AP) --The 15-nation all-woman come mission on the status of women vo ted 11-0 Tuesday in favor of draft ing an international treaty insuring GET OFF TO A GOOD START THIS SPRING...
