Bpoonéf, an of the parks comâ€" mittee, point.ed out that the teport. showed that 150 chikdiren who were unâ€" able to swim had learned the art this suimmer and so were so much better protected from danger in the water. He felt that the expenditure had been well repaild by the results. Mayor Brunette and other members of council had simâ€" ilarâ€"words of praise for the plan and for the swimming instructor. It was estimated that the cost of teaching the youngsters to swim was around a dollar a head, which was considered a small amount for so great a service. The report of the swimming instructor Mr. A. R. Fisher, was, in part, as folâ€" "During the summer over two hundâ€" red children registered for swimming ‘"The average attendance per week was about 150, except during the last week when attendance dropped conâ€" siderably. . "Besides the swimimng classes, on four mornings a week swimming parties were held RY the playground groups. e 0 0 o w» o c #202 ‘The Wednesday party at Gillies Lake was poorly attended while the Saturâ€" day party at the Pool trought out from 50 to 100 children. ~"During the summer about 150 chiildâ€" ren learnt to swim varying distances. Of these, 70 succeeded in swimming the width of the pool, 15 yards, while 25 were suscessful in swimimng the length, 30 yards. "A little diving was also practised."

Chins Up Fund since the holiday period, the Second Timmins Cub Pack has forwarded the fine sum of Ten Dollars to be used to help Brother Scouts and Cubs in warâ€"torn countries in which Scouting still flourâ€" ishes. The B. P. Chins Up Pund was inaugurated shortly after the war be« gan, and during the years ensuing much has been done to help those who have been bearing the burden. Material assistance is given Scouts and familâ€" ies who have been bombed out or who have suffered through other like causâ€" es, and many Scouts who have been on duty constantly, and under great strain, have been provided with a res‘.â€" ful holiday and a chance to recuperâ€" ate through the B. P. Chins Up Fund. With everyone looking forward these days to the time when the,war will he over and rehabilitation will be the great concern jof the world, officials of the Chins Up Fund announce the intention of reserving a considerable portion of the donations received to givg Scouting back to the boys of ege now ocupied Nazi countries. Alr y steps have been taken to bring this about as soon as possible, but even more funds are needed to finance this good work. Now, more than ever, it is essential that every Cub ‘and Scout reach the objective of one dollar each as speedily as possible. The National objective is gradually nearing the fifty per cent mark, and many centres have! more than attained their objectives In Timmins the objective is still some' distance away, but some of the group51 have passed their individual goals. Those who have not as yet reached their objective are asked to give this effort more attention in the coming weeks, and those who have are still endeavoring to jimprove their standing. By their latest donation the Second Timmins Pack has improved its standâ€" ing in the Local Association‘s list of donors, climbing from ninth to seventh place and improving the standing per member of the Pack by 27 cents to tring the average up to 67 cents. The Second Pack is setting the pace, and we know that the other Packs and Troops can be relied upon to follow their lead.

Preparations For Apple Day Now Underway Preparations for one of Timmins Scoutings‘ big annual events, Boy Scout Apple Day, are now underway and things are already beginning to shape up. Permission has been granted by the Town Council for the staging of the event and‘now the decks are really| cleared for action. The Local Associaâ€" tion through the Executive Committee has appointed a committee to be in charge of the different phases of the event, and a meeting of the Scouters‘ Club to be held within a day or two will select similiar committee to work with that of the Local Association. Such things as finance, advertising, selection of apples, organization of Packs and Troops, and so on will be under separate, superysiion, "1Irough the joint committees. Every group will be given a district of their own to canâ€" vass, as has been done in years gone by, and a special squad will be resâ€" ponsible for the covering of the downâ€" town area. A headquarters willâ€"be arâ€" ranged for in as central a spot as posâ€" sible, and every Cub and Scout will be out to better the record established last year both in the number of apples sold and in the proceeds. The cooperaâ€" tion of the public in past years has been one of the most encouraging feaâ€" tures of the Scout year, and we know that this year will be no exception. The ve best of apples obtai-nablel will be offered to everyone‘ on the big day, October 9, and it is expected that more than ever w#ll be sold. Results are checked carefully by group, and as far as possible the groups will be covâ€" ering the same districts as last year. This gives an opportunity of not only comparing results as a whole with those of last year, but also to comâ€" pare those of each group with other years. Every group is expected to betâ€" ter their former record, and leaders are asked to begin at once to organize their groups for an allâ€"out effort. much to himself," states a psychologist. Incomeâ€"tax authorities are said to share this view. â€" Globe and Mail. Another Fine Report of Ith Troop Activities The Scribe of the Seventh Troop is continuing to send in excellent reâ€" ports of activities in that Troop, ana the following was received during the past few days: "During last week‘s meeting of the Seventh Troop at the Hollinger Scout Hall on Wednesday, Scouts Gordon Warren and Aubrey Williams passed the compass points for their Second Class tset. Part of the evening wWaS spent on the semaphore code, and the} hope is expressed that by September all Scouts will know the code perfectly. ter in the evening an exciting game of football was played. The Blues, who are under the leadership of P. L. Bob Spitz, have been giving the Reds a trimming, and this will probably conâ€" tinue unless the Reds practice up bit. Unfortunately, because of other duties, Patrol Leader Henry Jacobs will be absent from Troop meetings for the duration. Everyone is sorty to see him leave, but we all understand that he is taking up new duties and that it will not be long until he will be back with the Troop." Last week we mentioned in this colâ€" umn that P. L. Peter Lucciantonio cf the Fifth Troop, who was one of the four boys who completed their First Class recently, had not yet passed the 50â€"yard swimming test for his First Class. We stand corrected on this, for Peter has since informed us that he fulfilled the requirements at ‘he Troop camp this summer. Since he did not take his first stroke until the preâ€" vious summer, and that too was at a Scout camp, Pete deserves much credit for his sticktoitivity and pluck in beâ€" ing able to qualify so soon. Nice goâ€" ing, Pete! td Space this week prohibits the dealâ€" ing with the agannual report of the Camping Committee, but next week we‘li give you all the news. Till then, Good Scouting and Cubbing, and reâ€" member the B. P. Chins Up Fund. Many reports of changes and proâ€" posed activities in the various Packs and Troops have been reaching us lately, but since in many cases they have not been more than rumors, we refrain from saying anything as yel. But we do ask that all leaders keep us informed of their plans that the boys and public in turn may be kept posted on developments in the grea‘ Scout family. Please check with your Pack or Troop Scribe to see that all these matters are mentioned in reâ€" ports sent in to us. Since many of the changes are planned for the benefit of the boys, and to allow. more boys to join our movement, let‘s keep them informed of what is being done to give them every opportunity of becoming "A Good Scout." To this may we add the same wish, for Henry has been a good Scout for quite a number of years and has alâ€" ways taken part in «activities or the Troop and District. We‘ll also be lookâ€" ing for an early return to his posiâ€" tion in the Troop. "It is not good for a man to keep too Troop or Pack can Meeting of Progressive Conâ€" servatives Held at Cochâ€" Progressive Conservatives in the ridâ€" ing of Cochrane are already planning for complete organizaition for the nex* Dominion election contest. It was apâ€" parent that lack of organization was cne of the chief factors in the result of the recent provincial election in this riding. The IC.C.F. was the only party that was well organized and that did not have to attempt to cover the big riding in a couple of weeks. In differâ€" en parts of the riding CCF. Clubs had not only ‘been organized but had been active for many months. Not only was this an advantage in the way of crganization, but it also meant tha‘ the C.C.F. through its excellent organâ€" ization and its activity in the months preceding the election had been able to make a large number of converts. The Progressive Conservatives intend to follow similar plans for the coming Dominion eleotion in this riding. It is jintended to have meetings and to keep the public informed on the issues of the day, so that when the election is _called, the people as well as the party _are ready for it. As a preliminary step to this end there was a meeting at Cochrane on Wednesday of last week. For Dominâ€" ion election purposes this riding of Cochrane includes both the provincial ridings of North and Gouth Cochrane. Accordingly, the meeting on Wednesâ€" cay of last week at Cochrane had reâ€" presentatives from both these provinâ€" cial ridings. In referring 4o the meetâ€" ing The Cochrane Northland Post last week said : "With Queen‘s Park in their grasp, albeit a somewhat tenuous grasp, Proâ€" gressive Conservatives are glaring at Ottawa, and stalwarts of the party met here on Wednesday to plot their course in the Cochrane field. "Mr. R. Potter, of Matheson, was elected acting president, it being deâ€" cided to call an annual meeting shontâ€" ly for the election of permanent offiâ€" cers. "It was a joint meeting embracing the executives of both North and South Cochrane. A number of members not on the executive also attended. "Mr. W. Ecclestone introduced disâ€" cussion of the coming federal election, and spoke of the organization work of the party. Secretary F. McDowell outâ€" lined new rules and regulaltions to be put before the annual meeting. "Platform possibilities were discussâ€" ed. Dr. J. B. McClinton spoke about the importance of postâ€"war problems and the need for immigration, while Mr. A. E. Wicks dealt with reforestation, and also touched upon immigration. All present participated in the discusâ€" sion. "An opportunity was given for the lodging of complaints, but none being forthcoming, ‘the meeting adopted resâ€" olutions of thanks for the services of the retiring president, Dr. Murtagh, and of the candidates in the two ridâ€" ings in the recent provincial election.
