SCOUT TROOP PAYS TRIBUTE TO LEADER One of the highlights of the 25th anniversary father and son dinner of the 7th Oshawa Scout Troop was the presentation by assistant scoutmaster George MacGregor (left) on an illumina- ted scroll and a ticket to the British Isles to attend the Cor- onation to Scoutmaster C. H. Collard. LOOKING OVER EUROPE By M. McINTYRE HOOD Managing Editor, The Times-Gazetie Nice, Cote d'Azur, France (By Alrmail) -- It does not require many minutes of observation in this Riviera City to make one realize that here is a new and little opportunity its glory of palm and cypress trees, its riot of colourful flowers, brilliant sunshine coming blue sky, and reflec- even deeper blue of the .

The beach chairs, surmounted by gaily colored umbrellas, are well filled, as are the chairs along the promenade. And as a background there is the row of hotels and summer season boarding-places, gay in their white, pink, yellow os beige colorings. a colorful one, lit by the blazing . sun, and a feast for the eyes of one accustomed to more northern climes and scenes. In a previous article, we men- tioned that flowers, perfume and sunshine were the three greatest assets of Nice. Certainly there are flowers in profusion. Facing the Hotel Ruhl, in which we are guests, is a large public garden ; COMING EVENTS 4 RUMMAGE SALE, KING ST, CHURCH basement, Monday -- 1:30. (102a) RUMMAGE SALE--ATHOL ST. SCOUT 8th and amphitheatre, aglow with flowers. In some of the beds were great masses of cyclamen, growing outdoors. Another was a riot of color of calcalerias of many shades and hues. Pansies were in full bloom, as were iris. Ami out in the fields around the .|city were acres upon acres of carnations and roses, destined to find théir way, for the most part, to the perfume factories for which the city is noted. MARKET OF FLOWERS But from a floral standpoint, the great sight in the city is the daily Market of Flowers held in an open square with covered stalls. We went down there this morning, because we had been told about it by the wief of a Paris editor, and it was well worth the visit. Never, anywhere, have we seen such a mass of floral beauty as was pre- sented on these stalls, with roses and carnations made up in lots of 50 and 100, for sale at ridiculously low prices. One could buy 50 glorious carnations for the equiva- lent of 50 cents, or 50 wonderful roses for something like a dollar in Canadian currency. Selling was both wholesale and retail, Florists were there from the city shops, buying their flowers direct from the growers who had brought them in, fresh and dew-covered, from the fields at the break of dawn. It was a sight worth travelling a long way to see. One half of the square was given over to fruit and vegetable stands, filled with the same profusion of the products of market gardens on the alpine hillsides. Asparagus, with green tips and stems blanched white, seemed a little different from that sold in Oshawa. When we ate it later, it had a delicious tenderness. There were olives and figs fresh from the trees. The native apples were of a yellow variety, but on one stand we saw a display of beautiful Red Deli- cious apples, on which was proudly perched the sign "Canada." They sold at 125 francs, about 40 cents a pound, while the native apples were about one-quarter of that price. And they seemed to be selling quite readily, In the same section of the city, there were flower shops, fruit and vegetable shops, all with their wares on display on the sidewalk, and severa] perfumery establish- ments, where native perfumes of high quality were on sale at prices S0 low as to be unbelievable. We picked up a large bottle of Eau de Cologne, holding about a pint, for the equivalent of $1.75, and thought it was a good buy, COSMOPOLITAN PARTY Like Paris, Nice has its outdoor cafes, particularly along the front promenade. At one of these, a group of us had lunch, enjoying a French dish known as ravioli. It was a cosmopolitan party. In it, in addition to the two Canadians, were Jean Knecht, editor of '"'Le Monde" of Paris, and his wife, Corley Smith, press attache to the British Embassy at Paris; Harold King, Paris editor of Reuter's Limited; John Marshall, editor of the London Evening News: John Jarrett, editor of the London Sun- day Chronicle and Claude Casper- Jordan, editor-in-chief of the As- sociated Press in Paris. And in a group like that, there was plenty of talk on world affairs, which will be dealt with in another chapter of the story.

MANY ATTRACTIONS Among the attractions which drew the people like bees to clover were the Dan McGrew shooting gallery, a Novelty Booth, Ye Olde Sporte Shoppe, Dog Racing, Fruit Baskets, Weight Guessing (this well-fed scribe won him a foun- tain pen), Penny Toss, Free mon- ey, Kweens Home Cooking it all disappeared within the first hour! -- Hams and Bacons, Chocolates, Fish Pond and Bingo. The Panda Booth, staffed by at- tractively garbed Kiwanis Kweens, did a roaring business in front 'of a cleverly painted representation of the fair gateway into Alexan- dra Park. In front of this was @ broad platform, at one end of which, in the chipper grandeur of red paint and shiny brass metal- work, sat a jalopy, (vintage 1911?) whose horn was in good working order, as demonstrated at odd in- tervals during the evening. At the same intervals, to the bouncing rhythm of an Offenbach polka, five buxom Can-Can girls -- Ki- wanians in disguise -- cantered out onto the stage in bright fur- belo with pink petticoats and Moulin Rouge smiles, and to the whistles and cheers of the audi- ence, did a very good: facsimile of the well - remembered Parisian can-can, kicks and all.
