Despite the factthat they were of
different castes and Creeds; they
ate and lived together :in complete

with itelaw that a Scout is a bro-
ther to every 'other Scout no mat-

a great factor in bringing Indians

At the end of the third week of.

ed, giving the• Nazis control, of :the.
main railway line from:' the Not-

in several' sectors, still commanded'
the approaches to northern Nor-
way; held 'the important ports' of

'YOU • ASKED FOR IT -

sver this general enquiry. we had
. a chat With Frier Gu1J;iife, one of •

is correct beyond a doubt. .
The Best Knots ' • '
After experimenting with sev=
oral types :of knots, it ,was d'euica
e'd` that the best knot to tie the
nylon strands together into a,
'str
leader would .be the Pani-
1iliac Barrel :or Blood Knot (see.
accos panying • ' diagram). Other
experiments proved' than the best •
knot for ,'tying eyed flies' to the
leader was• the Turl'e. Knot. Pam: '
]liar to experienced fishermen .and
popular with most' anglers, it .is.
One of the 'simplest' and safest.-
