Gives Inspiring Account

Of Scouting

Those who think that Scouting is only for “lnall boys" should go to the people of war-liberated countries who have reen Scouts in action, during the years when they formed the kemel of resist- ance movements and performed deeds of courage and endurance unsurpassed in history. declared Lord Mwsllln, Ohief Scout of the British Empire, in an inspiring address a.t a dinner tendered in his honor last night by the Pro- vincial Government.

Attorney General I. A. large presided at the function, which woe hold in ‘his Charlottetown and was largely attended by citi- lllll I! both sexes prominent in the Scout and Girl Guide move- ments. Those at the main table included His llonour Lieutenant Governor Bernard. Ion. ‘rhans A. Clmpbell. Chief Justice, His Wor- ship Mayor MacDonald, and Messrs. A. W. Rurll, general sec- retary of the Boy Scouts Associa- tion ln Greet Britain and W. L. Currier, Deputy Commissioner in Canada. ,

Lord Rowallan was introduced by Mr. N. W. Lowther. K. 0., pre- sident; of the Provincial Boy Scouts Association, and was ten- dered a warm vote of thanks at the conclusion of hl-s address by Rev. S. J. Davies, Field Commis- zioncr of the Provincial Associa-

on.

The Chief scout appeared 1n his Scout uniform. with the kllt of the Clan Cameron which he has worn throughout his tour of Canada.

"It ls gratifying lo hear the way in which Scouting is going fur- ward in Prince Edward island. and the magnificent way in which u. has been possible to enlist the services of so many of the young veterans who hsve come back from the wur." Lord Rowallan laid. “It; is most encouraging all over Canada to find the infusion of young blood into our movement. It is a grest relief to those who have borne the burden and hoot of the day to know that their work is bearing fruit in this most excellent manner.

"Also I want to emphasize the importance of looking upon Scout- lnlf as s whole, and not just sep- arated inlo _ different compart- menifl." the Chlcf Scout said. "It is difficult to place before the Cub that he ls starting on a long journey; but it can be done, I be- lieve. He can be rllven something

than lust o little piece of fun. When the boy has passed from boyhood lo adolescence we must make real demands if we are to ucceed with him. At that time he lo not content to wsnder along, just with the crowd. If he has anything in him st all. he ‘reeds an opportunity to prove his mun- hood. He needs n challenge to his power of mind, bddy and spirit. "Every primitive tribe had some

Observers See Trend Against The Government

(Dy l. K. Carnegie, Canadian Frau Staff Writer)

OTTAWA. Oct. 2B—(OP)--Po1i~ tically-mlnded people in the cap~ ital-and there are hundreds- gave themselves over today ‘to in- terpreting yesterday's Federal hy- .electlon|, in which the Progressive Conservatives retained Toronto Bzrkdole riding and captured the Manitoba ’ seal of Portage Le Pruirler from the Liberals.

old time political observers who have been weighing election re- suits since the turn of the cen- tury and who claim to be un- biased are inclined to two con- clusionsz-

C. Miller in Portaze La Prairie.

Llbcrnls see some consolation in the fact the Progressive Consor- vatlvo plurality in yesterday's vote in Parkdule was reduced to 560 whereas Dr. H. A. Bruce. the former member, held the seat for tho opposition wi-th a plurality of 1,007 in the i945 general election. The greatest gain in Parluiale. however. was registered by the C. C. F. candidate, Ford Brand. Despite o much smaller total vote, Mr. Brand yesterday receiv- ed 2-359 more than his party stand- afd bearer obtained in 1945-

SAENT JOHN, N‘. 8.. Oct. I2~ (C?) - John Stewart Slmpklns. testifying todsy at the trial of Beatrice Margaret Gnudet, Syd- ney, N. 8.. declared she had "nng~ led" him to get rid of a three- weeks-old child, raid to have been their daughter, who was drowned in Saint John harbor inst month.

The trial of Miss Gaudet. charg- ed with murdering the baby, open- ed today after a postponement to permit medical examination of the accused. Bimpkins, previously convicted of the some charge, has been sentenced to be hanged.

Simpkins said the young mother had told him she "didn't want to be tied down" with the baby. After they left their rooming house here on the evening of Sept. 4, with Simpklns carrying the child, the accused had “nudged" him toward Water Street. Later, when he turned in another tlircc- tion. she "nudged" him again ns if to indicate she wished to con- tinue along Water Street.

After stopping at Reed's Point

Wharf, the witness continued, Miss Gaudet asked, “what are you going to do-gct rid of it or stnnd there oil night?" She wanted the baby's bonnet and blanket to sell. and when asked if she wished to kiss the child, aitld, “no." Slmpkins said he "broke up" when the child was in the water, and the accused said, "cheer up. It will all blow over soon." After they left the wharf he told his companion, “if you believe in the Lord at all. when you go down there you'll see the child's spirit. You'll never get away with it." She replied, "lf I have to see that _!'ll commit suicide." A one point. when evidence dif- fered from ttatements of the wit- ness st his own trial, defence counsel Kenneth P. Lawton inter- jecfed, "you've given it u ‘ct of thought. haven't you, what story you were going to tell today."

The trial will continue tomorrow before Mr. Justice C. D. Rlchnrds in the Saint John circuit court.
