sans: or OBLIGATION

Let us take hypothetical Mrs. Jones with a hypothetical daugh- ter, Lucy. Lucy is ten. Lucy has enough clothes for three children, too muoh spending money and the weakest muscles on earth for anything she does not want to do. She never picks up her clothes; leaves a perennial mm behind her, studies when the feels like it and lets her mother wait on her as a matter of course.

In her mother's mind this thought is uppermost: "I had so much to do when I was little that I'm determined not to spoil Lucy's childhood. too."

WILL HARRY WILL?

And this: "I want Lucy to love me and appreciate ms when she is grown. She knows I work pretty hard for her and do without things I really need so she can look pret- ty and hold her head up."

And perhaps this: "All our sav- ings will go into her education at a 800d school. For that she also will be grateful and say what generous parents she had. She'll look after us later on. Her tum will come to show her appreciation for what we have done,"

Secretly she hopes that Lucy will marry well. Indeed she is going to

give her every opportunity to do.

so. Already, at tcn, Lucy's mother is careful to cultivate those peo- ple who may be useful.

Aomss the street is a hypotheti- cal Mrs. Smith. With a twenty- one-year-old daiwhter who once was ten, and who, like Lucy. was handed the world on a silverrrlllfil whose mother brought her up in the some way. with the same pre- dictions about her latitude.

Abandoning dreams of some day seeking pirate gold in the South Seas, adventurous Boy Scouts of Quebec and Ontario apparently are taming to gold seeking nearer home. Last year annual show, 70 Quebec Scouts and 33 in Ontario passed examinations qual- ifying them as "Prospcctors." We'll wager the first scout nine will be called "Pieces of Eight.“

A fine example of the spirit of the Buy Scout brotherhood is con- veyed ln a booklet descriptive 0i the 550 acre camp site of the West Cheshire Boy Scouts Association, and inviting to make use of it, "our brother Scouts from the north, south, east and west.” The booklet invitation concludes: “If they do visit us we hOpe that when winter evenings come they may have pleasant memories of a xcal Soouty camp."

I; there a boys‘ back-to-thc-iandi movement developing in Canada? Well over 400 Proficiency badges in subjects ' ted with farming were passed last year by Boy Scouts ‘ in Ontario. They included: Bee Keeper, 42; Dairmyan, 60; Farmer. 04; Forester, M; Gardener, 128; Poultryman, 63; Stockman, 27. Cov- ering additional knowledge also useful on the farm were: Black- smith. 5; Engineer (mechanical, 130; Electrician, 162: Carpenter, 374; Mason, l8.

London's last Boy Scout census‘ showed 1,084 Cub packs, 1,164 Scout troops and 659 Rover crews, and a total membership, all ranks, of 57,- 66a.

Last year 560 Ontario Boy Scouts demonstrated their versatility by properly washing clothes, and so qualifying for the Scout Laundry- mazfs Proficiency Badge.

The membership of the Boy Scout organization in Canada has increased more than 4,000 in a year. That means 4,000 more boys have a better chance of growing up into the best type of citizenship. —-Peterboro Examiner.
