The year 1857 is important not only to Bowmanville but it is very im- tant to the Scout movement. is was the year when its foun- der, Lord Baden Powell, of Gil- well, was born. This year also celebrates 50 years of scouting. SCOUT BEGINNING In 1907, on Brownsea Island, Baden Powell took a group of boys from every walk of life camping for two weeks. In this time he tested his program of) making boys dependable and self reliant. After his program was tested he wrote a book called "Scouting For Boys" which has become the official handbook Groups of boys banded together and called themselves "Boy Scouts'. So in this sense, Scouting Just grew until now there are over 6,000,000 scouts in the world and about 175,000 in Canada | Here in Bowmanville there are two troops and four packs. 1st Cub Pack and 1st Boy Scout Troop are under the sponsorship of the oRtary Club.

Air Patrol s Planned By JOHN E. BIRD Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--Canadians who fly for sport soon may risk their lives and aircraft on missions of mercy. A movement has been launched by two organizations representing most of Canada's qualified civilian pilots to form a Canadian Air Pa- trol which would work in conjunc- tion with the RCAF's search and rescue squadrons. The organizations are the Royal Canadian Flying Clubs Associa- tion and the Canadian Owners and Pilots' Association, both with headquarters in Ottawa. LIKE U.S. PATROL The proposed Canadian Air Pa- trol would be similar to the United States Civil Air Patrol, a civilian auxiliary of the USAF. Its objec- tives would be to help the RCAF look for missing aircraft, rescue persons marooned by floods and other disasters, fly sick persons to hospital from isolated areas and rush relief supplies to distress areas, Both the federal government and the RCAF are interested in the formation of a civilian air pa- trol which would be available in emergencies. However, the pos- sibility of extending financial aid will not be considered until a defi- nite plan has been proposed by the two flying organizations It is not expected that a Cana- dian patrol would be as elaborate as the American organization The U.S. patrol trains cadets for the USAF and receives an air force subsidy of about $5,000000 annually. The USAF also provides certain ining aircraft, a nue leus of full-time military and civil lan personnel and gas and oil consumed by patrol members fly- ing their own aircraft on emer gency missions First step towards formation of a Canadian patrol was taken last| month in Ottawa at the annual! neeting of the "ation represents 38 "an flying clubs ~ MINARY MOVE LY t man T 2e ng Club, was instrue-| ted to confer with the Owners and Pilots' Association. While no defi- nite plan has been suggested, it is expected that any Canadian pa- trol would be civilian controlled and financed. Its aircraft would operate on emergency missions only if their assistance was requested by the air force. The RCAF might reim- burse patrol members for gas and oil used on authorized assign- ments. Mr. Barrett was appointed after John R. Baldwin, deputy transport minister, told the flying clubs con- vention that the federal govern- ment would like to see a civilian air patrol organized.
