vion he gained through reading every good book he could lay his hands on he was able to learn to walk without cruiches even though the doctors said it was an impossibility. So now you see why the interest in books and reading for young people is so personal and vital co many of us in boys‘ work. Â¥You can tell by what a boy reads, what he probably will beâ€" come. No one thing is so much a facâ€" tor for influencing attitude of mind and habits of conduct as books. Books influence character. Many after reading Victor Hugo‘s "Les Misâ€" erable" have a n!g}‘png unwillinzness to condemn anyone in case they should be unjust and involve irrcparable inâ€" jury so character. From books, many unfortunates who are cripples have gotâ€" ten determination and have worked mirâ€" acles not only for themselves but for others. A very exceptional example of this is the case of the Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America who at one time was forced to use erutches, but through the determinaâ€" Mr., and Mrs. Wilkinzon were thr recipients »Of many lovely silver gifts, and the best wisnes of their numerous friends who joined in wishing them many years of continued happiness. During the evening, Mrs. Gay sang ‘"My Prayer" and in response to conâ€" tinued applause, "I Love You Truly." Master Jack Thompson made a deâ€" cided hit with his tap dancing, and Ron Jones beautifully sang "Moth?@r Maâ€" chree" and "T‘ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen." the latter number being a special request, j Mr. Fred Kitcher, in his usual happy manner, ably took the part of M. C., and a "spot" dance was won by Mr. ana Mrs, Dick Jackson. Mrs, Wilkinson received her guests in a very becoming electic blue dress a replica of her original wedding dress. The guests all enjoyed the social evening of dancing to the music of Messrs Walter Devine at the piano and E. Campsell (guitar), and other merriâ€" ment and later a delicions lunch was served. A be autiful wedding cake made the centre piece bf the gift table which was laden with the many valuable preâ€" sents. In America we have just observed Book Week from November 14th to 20th. Immediately preceeding the first day of Book Week che celebration of the birth of that great author, Robeort Louis Stevenson, was observed in many places. This brings to mind that: Not every boy can zo to college. Some boys have to leave school atâ€"an early age. (Blut every boy can secure a good education if he will only read with inâ€" telligence and a purpose. /A book is an opsn door to the past. Any boy can spend an hour any afternoon with Julius Caesar, Socrates, Michael Angelo, Moses or Jesus of: Nazareth. can live, think and feel and work with <hese great minds. NDAY, NOVEMBER 3B2TH. Every boy reads. Most boys say it is their favour‘s‘e amussment. The thing to do is to have 11 balanced ration of good reading that provides for the solid things that build mind and character as well as things that are merely enâ€" vertaining. You would not try to build up a healthy body without food. The same thing is true of your mind.: You must feed it if you expect it to grow strong and work for you. About one hundred of their friends gathered at the Hollinger Recreation hall, on Saturday evening, to honour Mr. and Mrs. Walter W. Wilkinson, of 47 Cambral avenue, on the occasion of their twentyâ€"fifth wedding anniversary, n Then, another thing. reading is fun! You have a hobby, surely. You are missing half the pleasure you should get out of it unless you read what others have found out about it. You like chrills, of adventure, excitement. Where else can you find them as you can in books. You can actually live through more expsrience in an evening than could happen to anvon> in a lifetime, in a good book.

BOY SCOUTS IN TIMMINS M1T r. and Mrs. Wilkinson were married Ulverston, Lancashire, England on YOU CAN SEE ITS GOOD BEFORE YOU BUY The first part of the Patrol Leaders Training Course wound up last Saturâ€" day evening. Patrol Leaders now have about a twoâ€"month period to test the ideas and suggestions brought forward at the course before continuing their training. This will give an opportunity for discussion in the nex session. The sudden accident stunt in which two members of the course complained of injuriesâ€"one of a cut artery and anâ€" other of a broken arm tosted the inâ€" genuity of the class especially as cthere were no first aid materials handy. It was instructive even though one patrol was accused by another that the only thissz chat was forgotten was a cedar box for the former‘s patient. Scouters!
