A Farewell And An Appeal

Ilad Lord TKveL-tlsiutiir lived he would have spoken to the Boy Scouts of (K111111111 at the As- sociation's annual banquet i11 Toronto. l-le did speak t0 111cm, says the Iloiitrczil Gazette, though with zuiothcr voicc. llc 111111 prepared an address, thc last to l-c writti-n by l1i111 and i11 it he exprcsscd sonic-thing of his own fine philosophy of life. l-le said that the basis for a. worthy and sticcessftil life could not be too highly valued. “The problems of youth,” he wrote, "are more difficult today than ever be- fore, and they are not going to he easier when this \\'ar is over. Cannot \\c, whilc thcsc boys are i11 our charge, do more by atlvicc and train- ing t0 see that when they enter the grownup world they will havc a reasonable chance? Cau- iiot we, w'hilc keeping i11 lhc fort-front our inviral and spiritual ideals, takc ivains to sec that 011r Scouts, when they enter adult life, shall have a real chance to reap the fruit of their training and shall not get into the wrong grooves, or into blind alleys which lead to a dead wall?"

One of the late tiovc1-11or-Gc11cra's practical stiggestiotts, particularly as a means of tnaking the Boy Scout movcitn-nt more attractive t.) the older lads, was that the movement be brought into touch with air dcvclopincnt 11nd the Scouts themselves made air-niindctl. so that whcn peace comcs the country will have :11 its disposal a very large body of traincd tiirnicn. 'l‘i1is year's gathering at 'l‘or0n111 was addrcssctl by that stalwart iricntl of thc ‘my [Scout movt-iin-nt, .\lr.

Jackson Dodds of .\l--11trca1, who urged that there be no slowing 11p i11 thc fitndamcutal work 0f the organization i11 Canada. Thc lituidrcd

thousand membership marl: which thc late Lord 'i'\vccds111uir had tirgctl 111c Scouts to reach when he first CZlltlC to the Dominion as tiovcri1o1'-tic1i- cral had bccn rcachcd hcii-rc 11c canic to thc cud of his great carccr, but 11c said “we arc not going to stop there. Thcrc are over a million boys in Canada who might sharc i11 our inovciticiit, and as yct we have only a tc1it11 of 1111-111." Copies of thc Liovcrii-n-Lit-iicral's address, an tinfinish- ed draft, were placed i11 1l1c hands of all Scouts attending this year's function. “You will find i11 it," said .\Ir. Dodds, “a challenge and an iti- spiration to all of us to carr_v on 1111.- wi-rk of the Association and to bring 1111111-1" thc inflnciice of the movement i11 Lluiada as 1111111)" boys as pos- siblc."

Mr. Dodds took (iccaisitin to plant i11 the minds of his hcarcrs a stiggcstii-n horn of conversa- tions with thc latc Sir _la1111-s .\ikins i11 Winni-

pcg some ycars ago, Sir _|:1111cs bcnig t11c11 Lit-11- teitaiit-(jovcruor of .\laui1oba. Thc stiggcstion

is that wcll-to-do citizens should lcavc bequests to the Boy Scout orgauizatioti and Sir James Aikins himself left trust funds of Scot-on to thc Boy Scouts and $1o.ooo to thc (i11-l (juidcs as sources of income for thcsc two branches of the same tnoveutcut. .\lr. Dodds rccallcd having cited Sir James AilvilVs example at the antniai meeting of thc Canadian (icucral Council of the Boy Scouts Association i11 .\l11i1trcal last ycar and being thcn told Ly Sir l-Idw-ard llciltly oyhat the Boy Scouts had bct-n i11 his will cvcr siucc he had a will, until 11c dccidctl to takc out a11 insurance ytolicy in the lssociatiotfs favor iii- stead of making it 1111c of his rcsidnary- lt-gzitccs."

“WORN OUT PHBASESW

Slip-No sooner had l-he first elecuon talk sta-rted than we once more ran up against the worn out phrase used so liberally 1n the past; “Why change horses in the middle of 11 stream"? no doubt for some WOGILs to come that. Out-of- date expression will be heard again and again.

How easy it would be to upset; the load. with t-he turbulent. wat- ers surging around, where the horse is 110t- even sure-footed, fa-gged out. perhaps, just stum-blinz alonll. Then what? where would we find gin-selves with chaos as a new load. added to the one flounder-int: around in the middle of the torrent.
