Developing Whole Men

I

At last summer's Scout Leaders’ banquet at \Vinnipeg, attended by Mr. L. D. Murray and Mr. _]. j. Morris, Mgr. T. W. Morton, who is a personal friend of long-standing of Lord Baden-Powell, founder and Chief of the Boy Scouts, said:

“The difference between Scouting and every other youth Movement is that Scouting is wholesome and all others are partial. Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin don't want whole men for citizens, they want partial men, developed only in a certain way, kept in a servile state and trained to he soldiers That's why Hitler abolish- cd Scouts within a week after taking Austria."

And of what consists the whole man for both health and strength? According to Dr. R. N. Wiggins in our Pre-Lcnten column on Satur- day, “Spirit, Mind and Body,"-—note the order. That is what Boy Scouting stands for, and the neglect to develop any of the three parts is to fall into the error of Hitler and develop in human na- ture servility, not freedom. It is for this reason that the great founderof the Boy Scout Move- ment strenuously opposes mass development of Boy Scouts, insisting rather upon small units with waiting lists. He himself, he said, cduld never manage to train more than six Boy Scouts at a time, for the reason that t0 develop the three- fold qualities of Spirit, Mind and Body, the leader must be in constant touch with each and every boy, know his weaknesses as well as his good points, his personality as well as his ex- ternal ZIPPCBIQTICC. That is why there are sixes in Cubs and patrols of eight in Scouts and Rov- ers——that the leader may know intimately and develop personally the good traits, eliminating the bad traits in the individual characters of those committed to his charge. There is a common tendency to worship numbers, to seek after mass production, but that is not Boy Scout- ing, however attractive window dressing it may he. Boy Scouting seeks to develop quality first, foremost and all the time, being satisfied with" the knowledge that a few good Scouts in a community will raise the general standard of boyhood in that community, just as a few earnest, ivholehearted Christians in a community will gradually and almost imperceptibly raise the standard of life all around them. This is why the Bov Scout Movement holds the position it does in the world today. Boy Scouts do not and are not encouraged to thank God that they are not as other boys are-only they are being taught to appreciate their three-fold personality, and to observe or aim at a standard set forth in their Promise and .La\v as follows:

On my honour I promise that I will do my

' best,

To do my duty to God and the King,

‘To help other people at all times. _To obey the Scout Law.

The Scout Law is :—-

'(1) A Scout’s honour is to be trusted.

(2) A Scout is loyal to the King, his country. his officers, his parents, his employers and to those under him.

'(3) A Scout's duty is to be useful and to help

' others, '

(4) A Scout is a friend to all and a brother to every other Scout.

(5) A Scout is courteous.

(6) A Scout is a friend to animals.

(7) A Scout obeys orders of his parents, patrol leader or Scoutmaster without question.

' (8) A Scout smiles and whistles under all dif-

ficulties.

$9) A Scout is thrifty.

to) A Scout is clean deed.

The originator and draftsman of this Pro- mise and Law, together with his helpmcet, Lady Baden-Powell, Chief of the Girl Guides, cele- brate their joint birthdays in far away Kenya, B.E.A., today, and many messages will be sent,

. and many more thoughts wafted to them wish- ing many happy returns of the day.

A Worthy Tribute

“Canada in the course of her history has had few more valuable citizens than Sir Andrew hlacphail. He kept alight the lamps of learn- ing and culture in an era when the boomin prosperity which followed the development o the west threatened to drown them in the flood- ing waters of an unlovely materialism; he was an inde endent spirit with. an inborn passion for truth, li ty and justice, who never hesitated to employ his voice and pen in the defense of good causes and the exposure of evil tendencies, and he perfonned continuously valuable services to the_ Canadian people as a ‘virgorous critic, whose patriotism could not be gainsaid, of their inter- tnittent follies and weaknesses." '

So writes Mr. J. A. Stevenson in the course‘ of a discriminating article o_n the late Sir_An- drew Macphail in the Canadian Defense Quar-

in thought, word and

v terly. The writer reviews Sir Andrew's long

d varied career, with special reference to his

Wars-and valuable work as a military historian “He had," writes Mr. Stevenson, “an ingrain- Qqipreferenoe for the-soldier over the politician He contended that the errors and- toll

tion of Germany as a great power he welcomed l; an inevitable development, but the ryrannies and cxtravagances of the Nazis repelled him, and in the closing months of his life he had reached the conclusion that Hitlerite Germany was a much greater menace to civilization than the regime 0f Kaiser Wilhelm IV and that German ambitions for world domination again to be treated by force.”

in the article. Island readers will particularly appreciate the following reference:

_ “His happiest days each year came, when he returned‘ to the place to which he would apply the Scottish phrase ‘his calf-country,’ and, living there in the old family home at Orwell which he had enlarged and made into a very pleasant abode, he would do a little writing and fishing, entertain such guests as cared to invite them- selves, consort with the ageing friends of his boyhood and take continuous delight in the com- pany of a lively group of grandchildren, to some of whom he tried to teach Gaelic. Few. men have had a more pleasant and dignified old age, and when his end came, he was spared any long suffering.”

The News That's Read Col. R. R. McCormick, publisher and Qditor

casting station WGN in Chicago, was asked by a reporter in Montreal about radio in its rcla- tion to the distribution of news, remarks the Ottawa journal. He said he thought broadcast- ing of news by radio was ineffective, in compari- son with publication of news in newspapers, and was “dead” so far as the future was concerned. He noted that news broadcasters and commenta- tors, like the early newspapers of an earlier day, “had to exaggerate to hold interest,” and he added:

“With a newspaper you can pick and choose. I don't think anyone reads every part of a news- paper. But there is no choice in radio. You may want t0 hear about Hitler. Your wife may want to hear about the latest hats, and hats are news so far as women are concerned."

Col. McCormick, as the operator of a power-

ful radio plant as well as a great newspaper, hardly can be accused of prejudice. He speaks with the voice 0f experience in both agencies for the transmission of news, and his opinions in the matter are 0f more than a little im- portance. The distinction between the two mediums is that news is the principal commodity of the newspaper, and a minor incident in the daily routine of a radio station. In the one case it is the foundation on which is based a costly plant and an expensive system of collection and dis- tribution; in _the other a brief detail sandwiched between periods of entertainment and instruc- tion. Furthemiore the one is a permanent record from which as Col_ McCormick says. the reader can “pick and choose", while the other is fleet- ing and intangible, and the listener must take what is given him. ‘

PERSISTENT IIOARSBNESI SHOULD B! mVlbTlfiAiI-D

' Ono of my» pet-tents who had moved to, a distant. city returned one day and telephoned from his hotel. when he gave me his name I told httn that he must be mis- taken tn wanting me as the man by his name had s. different tone of voice.

"aunt's what I want to see you about. Yve lost my spnecn, Pvo been hoarse for two to three weeks.”

As he had but the one day tn the city I advised him to see s throat specialist at once as persistent hoarseness could be serious. The condition was found to be cancer and by application of radium his life was saved.

An ordinary cam of noarseness should pass away in a few days to a. week as it is usually due to over- use of bhe voice. By not- using the voice or by whispering wftliou» us- fng any emph isis or inflection, the natural voice soon returns.

By breathing the steam or va r from a. tcasooonful of friars be (tincture of bz-nzoin com- pound), relief ls obtained sooner.

What about. tioarseuess that per- sists? Dr. Ralph L. Gorrell. tn Clinical, Medicine and Surgery says:

“l-loarseness that. persists for ten days or more should be given care- ful consideration as the loss of voice accompanying ncutc laryn- gitls tisually clears up within that period. Persistent hoarseness may

e the only symptom of cancer or tuberculosis."

Fortunately cancer of the larynx, which in my std-lent, days meant death, to-dsy can be cured by Xray or operation. ‘

“Dr. LeRny Schall reports a ser- ies of 28 cases which were treated by removal of the entire larynx (voice box) with no deaths. Twenty patients lived without any return of the cancer up to the present time (six years or more). All these patients were happy. This ls men- tloned because the public often feels that such an operation leaves nothing for the patient t0 look forward to."

Dr. schall presents a series of photographs of these patients who had undergone the operation (farmer, plumber. traffic manager, loom operator. optlclan, scraper) who are carrying on in their reg- ular occupations.

Remember. persistent hoarse- ness, even if not, due to cancer or tuberculosis. should be treated by a throat specialist.

OYSTER CULTURE

About eleven or twelve years ago the highly productive oyster area of Malpeque. Prince Edward Island was rendered practically useless by

e onslaught of a disease whl a tacked the shellfish. The oysters e district were almost wiped out, and those which survived were almost. all contaminated. In 1928 me province, wmcn men controlled theoyster flshery,hand- ed its jurisdiction u'l’*.l' Jae Dominion government, which un- dertook the rehabilitation andde- velopment of the industry.

The first step was the clearing out..of all diseased oysters and re lantlng with healthy stock, fo lowing a period of experiment- al fanning by the department of fisheries, and sclenttflc investing- ions by the biological board of Oanadw-now called the fisheries research board. Then. tn 1031, the leasing of oyster grounds was corn- meneed. and since then the de- velopment 1n oyster farming has been rapid and has attained re- markable results, especially tn the Malpeque region.

ln 1931 not a single barrel of Prince Edward Island oyaterswera sold on the market. In" 198'! the Mnlpeque beds has been so far restored that nearly 2.000 barrels werb harvested and disposed of. Even more noteworthy 1s the pro- sress which has been made in makln the area productive. In 1931. ere were twenty-stx areas

on the whole island under cultlv- ation, with an area. of ll0 acres. and on these beds 254 barrels of
