This interesting program was held in honour of hoth the founder and his famous wife, Lady Baden-Powell, whose joint birthdays fall on Febru- ary 22nd. ~ A good turnout of around 150 Scouts, Cubs. Guides, Brownies and their parents, gathered to hear speakers Rev. J. Colelough and Nor- ton Olssen and to view the special films. Tom Larson, chairman of the loca! group committee welcomed the guests and spoke briefly on the founder and the aims of Scouting. The Scout film "Men of Tomor- row” was then shown. This showed examples of British Scouts helping in many ways during the second World War, as messengers during the Blitz, with the land army and aiding with many civilian jobs. The beautiful Pacific Great East- ern film ‘Rails to Romance” fol- lowed. This epic film shows all the scenic grandeur and commercial pos- sibilities of the province. The film was made about seven years ago and there have been many changes in and around the, town since that time. Gone is the wooden platform and signal arm at the sta- tion as well as the drab brown paint. Gone also are the colorful steam- diesel locomotives and. the ancient coaches. Replacing them are the bright yellow diesel-electric loco- motives and metal coaches. The P.G.E. railway was the first railway in Canada to become completely dieselized, having accomplished this over three years ago. Noted at the station was the late Jack Moxon, local trainman whose death four years ago was one of the few tragedies on the PGE. Jack was seen on top of the passenger coach just as it left ‘for Quesnel. The dra- matic shot of Deep Creek bridge created much interest as did the view of the former small town. Barbara Anti Scott and Dick B ton shared honors with other 1948 Winter Olympic stars in the Swiss Legation film “Ice Skating” shown next. The Canadian hockey entry and curling were also shown backed by awe-inspiring views of sunlit snow- covered Alps. Attention THE B.C. sawing conditions. 24x24 opening. Round logs or cants.

These meetings were. apart from the regu- lar weekly meetings with the Scout- master. Winter activities were al- ways a high point with the patrols going on distance hikes on skis or skating for miles. He spoke also of the wonderful times had at the annual Jamborees and of the great interest in the World Jamboree which will bring boys of all countries together in Canada this summer near Niagara Falls. n Speaking on “Religion and Scout- told of the similarity of Scouting in| ing,” guest speaker Rev.

Before introducing the final film of the evening Mr. Larson asked all present to become scouters at home to encourage former Scouts and ‘Guides to come forward to lend a helping hand to the present day American Scouts were shown i faith and truth.as well as such bray- ery as is shown in courageous acts of life-saving and social service. A Scout's first duty is to God, and the next is to the ruler of his country hy keeping the laws. Such bravery has made Scouts and Guides world famous as good citizens, he said. A rollicking film of-a Jamborea camp in England followed which brought back memories of similar happy or funny incidents at former local Scout camps. A typical day in camp was pictured ending with a campfire sing-song with boys of many countries taking part.

ELIMINATED Red-striped bacon wrapping seems to be on the’ way out. It is beset now by both Government directives and Parliamentary legislation. I introduced a bill ten days ago which would make it an offence to continue to disguise bacon in this way. Hon. Paul Martin, Minister of Health and Welfare, replied by stating his De- partment had issued a directive, since I gave notice of the bill, requir- ing the trade to discontinue sich wrappings—or else. There seem to be several weapons in the armoury. HUMOUR In the course of the Family Allow- ances debate, there was some good- natured ribbing of Social Credit fis- cal theories by Jean-Francois Pou- lict, the veteran leg-puller from Temiscouata. Mr. Pouliot recalled that back in 1939. John Blackmore —one of the chief exponents of So- cial Credit fiscal theory—had fore- cast that as the machine age ad- vanced, we would reach the point when only two percent of the popu- lation would do the productive work to run the machines to feed. clothe and house the rest. Then, said Mr. Blackmore, it will be the State’s task to turn the goods into money — iu the form of tickets for the remainder of the people to purchase the goods. Mr. Pouliot could not resist having a go at this concept of the machine age. SPLENDID So, said Mr. Pouliot, “that machine does not make only fish, shoes and fruit, but it makes tickets. This famous slot machine which has not been made yet works in this way. With the tickets, one can return to the machine and get fish, fruit, can- dy—anthing.”” At which point Mr. Blackmore, interested, inquired: “Is there anything wrong with that?” “Not at all” said Mr. Pouliot, “I find it splendid”. DUTY Questions have arisen in the House over whéther the length of duty required to be served at i stretch by T.C.A. pilots is not so great as to cause them excessive fa- tigue which may account for recent crashes. This arose specifically out of the report of the inquiry into the ay this. Most groups are raising money t groups, especially in helping the Scout Troop to prepare boys to rep- resent our local troop at the 1st World Jamboree to be held in Cau- ada, Boys from all over B.C. will leave Vancouver August 14th aboard tho special train headed for Niigar -the-Lake for ten wonderful dao camp from August 18 to 28th.

BRISTLES When the question was raised in the House, with the suggestion that 16 hours tour of duty was bound to cause fatigue, Mr. Howe bristled. Said he—there is no ‘suggestion that I can find in the report” that crews are-on duty that long. This is in- teresting, for one paragraph of the official report on the accident reads: “The complete flight . . . involved approximately 12 hours flying. With Stops on the ground included, this entails a total time of about 15 hours. This should be increased by another hour bringing the total to 16 because the crew must report . . . one hour before flight time in order to check the weather and file a flight plan. This is a long day for a crew to be on duty... ”. < For rubber stamps, date stamps, stamping pads, numbering ma- Phone chines, marking @evices of all kinds.
