For Adults Who Like Boys

For readers in Williams Lake and vicinity who
are not interested in the welfare of hboys—these lines
are not intended. If you agree, however, that while
boys at times may be a little wearing on the nerves,
they are also worth the trouble of instilling with
manly virtues in preparation for eventual readiness
to accept adult responsibi $s in the community—
then you shoula censider this invitation.

Friday, Mareh 2S, Field Commissioner
Turner of the Boy Scouts’ Association, is holding a
“Scouting Explained ” program in the Legion Hall.
As the title Suggests, this program will cover aims,
history and set-up of the organization ag well as the
role of the sponsoring adult committees,

The course Signed to interest more People in
the work of Scouting and the methods of going about
assuring that the training this world-wide organiza-
tion can produce is available to the boys in your part
of the town or district.

Boy Scouts membership in British Colvmbia has
grown from 16,981 to 28,079 in the Past five years.
But not in Williams Lake. Here difficulties in
securing leaders and in interesting prospective group
committee members have curtailed expansion of
Scouting. One group committee is operating two Cub
packs under a combined church sponsorship, but
attempts to secure leaders to establish a Scout troop
again have so far met with failure.

What'is now happening is that the boys who are

i ting are getting less than “ half a
They learn enough about the movement in
Cubs to sharpen their anticipation of the adventure
in Scouts that lies ahead, only to find there is no
troop to accommodate them.

This is the situation, and it needs a spark to
light the tinder of adult enthusiasm. District council
members feel that Commi sioner Turner can supply
the spark with his “ Scouting Explained” program
provided an audience of interested adults turns out.
The future of the great game of Scouting in Williams
Lake depends on you.

Mountains Being Moved

— Cariboo Observer

There is a transformation under way on British
Columbia’s portion of the Trans-Canada Highway
that will ultimately make it one of the most scenic
Stretches of highway in the entire Dominion. And
avery good percentage of this work will be completed
within the next year or two.

For those who are tamiliar with the Fraser Can-
¥on section, the transformation being wrought is
little short of amazing.

Within the next two years, the winding, dangerous
road from Yale to Alexandria Will have disappeared.
Much of it has already vanished in the course of less
than a year.

Preparation is goin ahead for the building of a
new bridge at the Alexandr a crossing. It wi

d
jnan-made miracle is
x: Spree gee vie is gouging a complete
new route that will car the highway along above
the Fraser. In a few short months, motorists will no
longer have to twist their way in and out of Nine Mile_
Canyon.

A new bridge across the mouth of that canyon is
now ready for decking, and the new way both north
and south of it has been paved and is ready to carry
traffic as soon as the bridge is finished. That might
well be before the end of summer.

The highway opens up entirely new vistas for the
traveller, who needs have no apprehension as he_
courses along over a wide, smooth ribbon of black-
top, adequately guarded at every possible danger
point.

From Lytton to Spences Bridge, motorists are
now driving over highway that has been almost en-
tirely reconstructed and a good percentage of it re-
located as well. .

Two railway over-passes have yet to be completed,
though both are presently under construction, and the
refashioniazg of the once dangerous “ Tank Hill” is
movig’ steadily ahead. Once this work is finished,
the construction crews will be able to look with satis-
faction on a‘job that has left no semblance at all of
the old highway.

- Those ‘‘ Sorry for the Inconvenience ” signs which
are still to be found at many points of our highway
system, have been the subject of much comment, most
of it derogatory. In view of what has been happening
the inconvenience has been worth it and even the
signs can be forgiven. Men and machines have
literally been moving mountains to make British
Columbia’s, Trans-Canada Highways something that
will be a lasting joy to every motorist.
