The attitude of the, Witness will not help cement the different provinces of the Dominion: In fact its atti- tude is one of purée selfishness, In the old days party support- ers were. given government jabs for faithful service. But in these enlightened days of (efficient?) civil service there are no jobs for the faithful, but there are any number of commissions, royal and otherwise, and they pay party friends much better; there is less work and a great deal more fun and jov-riding.

Brayfield, chairman; F. B. Chettleburgh, sec.-treas. Wearne and Mr. Gowanlock were appointed as Round Lake representaitves- on the Scout council, while F.B. Chettleburgh, Corp. I. Bryce and J. P. Wheeler were appointed as Telkwa repre- sentatives on the eouncil. It is hoped that useful training and tuition: will be given the bovs of summer, and the movement is worthy of the co-operation of young and old alike. Gn Tuesday night the Council of the Boy Scout Telkwa Troup, met at the home of Rev, J. S. Braytield and drew up a program for the coming summer in respect to training of the boys.
