At a meetâ€" ing last week, under the direction ~of Ecouter HMHarry Atkinson, six tests were passed, including the two recruits who passed their Tenderfoot and are ready to be invested. These two recruits are David Cannell and Gordon Warren, and we know they will make a valuable adâ€" dition to the ranks of the troop.

The Boy Scouts of Blitzed Bath Afterâ€"blitz services found by the Boy Scouts of Bath, England, following the Nazi air raids, included the parading of of the streets with trafficâ€"direction signs closing broken windows with various materials, and serving for many hours at municipal feeding centres. Older Ecouts helped in extricating the injured from bombed houses. One 16â€"yearâ€"old boy helped remove the dead members of one family. Coming upon an injured girl, he bandaged her eyes, in order to spare her the sight of her dead relatives. Mother‘s Reason For Visiting Scout Hall A Scoutmast%r. walking down a ruinâ€" ed street in Bath, England, noticed a woman endeavoring to open the door of the still standing Boy Scout headquarâ€" ters.

THE PORCUPINEF ADVANCTE, TTMMTNS, ONTARTO Report Chance Now for "Small Boom" in Some vneople in the Cobalt camp see a chance for a "small boom" in the gilver production of their district. The hope is founded on more than wishful thinking. Indsed, those interested have the matter all worked out on logical and practical lines. An editorial in The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Local mining men see possibilities of what they term a "small boom" in silâ€" ver production in this district as the result of action by the United States State Department, announced in a desâ€" patch from Washington, to the effect that the ceiling price on imported silâ€" ver would be raised from 35% cents to 45 cents an ounce on August 31st. The despatch says the move was apparently designed to encourage Mexican silver mining and thus increase the supply of foreign silver available for American inâ€" dustrial users who have been largely precluded from obtaining domestic silâ€" ver in competition with the statutory price of 71.11 cents an ounce paid by the treasury. The ceiling will be raised by the Office of Price Administration, the criginal price having discouraged Mexâ€" "Local men say that the average price of silver during the years when the mines of the Cobalt area were producing heavily was around 50 cents per ounce. The present increase in the United States, taken with the premium on U. S. funds, will bring ‘Canadian operators about 494 cents, and it is believed this ican mine operators. ‘Canada is among the countries which ship silver to the U. S., but Mexico is said to be the larâ€" gest exvpborter to that country. the Price of Stver United States Department Announces Raise in Ceilâ€" ing Price of Gold. 2. 69 1.98 Boys‘ Brown Oxfords Sizes 1 toâ€"5 Growing Girls 3â€"8 ficult times. The Prospectors and Devâ€" elopers‘ iAssociation has missed no chance to be of service to prospectors. One of the latest activities of the Asâ€" sociation has been concerned with plans for a library and reading room for prosâ€" pectors where the men concerned may ‘lock up government publications, maps and othe information. The office of |the Association has been moved to |Room 428. at 67 Yonge street, Toronto, where a big library is being built up. Already eight cases of pulications have b=en received irom the Department of Mmes at Ottawa covering metals and minerals sought and the places of their known occurrences in Canada. The Proâ€" vince of Ontario is also collaborating in the plan. All government sourc>s, but provincial and Dominion have been very much interested and helpful, officers of the Association say. Another feature of the plan is that specimens of all imâ€" portant strategic minerals are being asâ€" |sembled. It is expected that this colâ€" lection will be very compelte. A prosâ€" pector who can afford to make a trip to Toronto and visit the reading room and library of the Ontario Prospzctors and Devlopers Association should be price will stimulate the industry here. There are many of the former properâ€" ties being operated under lease, with coâ€" balt ore as the chief product., but the majority of them vield some silver that can be profitably disposed of under the new price ceiling, it is believed. The ore has to be mined to secure the cobalt, for which the war has brought increased demands, and if a profit can be realized on the silver as well, there will undoubtâ€" edly be more mining activity in the district than has been the case for some years." 1.59 Prospectors and has been doing a work for prospectors and inc ning and for the count: tion has been the me: forward the interest of The prospectors have look after their interse: Open Library and Reading Room for Use of Prospectors During Prospect has been for prosp Valuable New Service fo Prospectors Started at To ronto O.P.
