Castle to act in the role of an examiner on the cub tests and proficiency badges. Mr. Castle has a wide knowledge and background in scouting and cub work and his assistance will be valuable to the pack. The pack still need the assist- ance of an aetive young man to help organize games and hikes. Anyone who can spare an hour on a Monday evening please contact the group chairman L. G. Winter. The pack meeting on March 2 went very well. "B" Pack has challenged "A" Pack to see which pack is the most efficient. Com- petition is very keen. ,Assistant Cub Master Roy Faulkner who is looking after "A" Pack while the Cubmaster is' training "B" Pack, has got "A" Pack right on their toes, The Blue Six, under Sixer Charles Bartliff was the best six in competition games and inspec- tion for the evening. ' During . in- structional period, Mike Spiller, Jimmie Dales, David Cunningham, Wayne Ebbet, and Bobby McCann passed their time test in the First Star. The sale of booster cards to sup- porters of the Cubs and Scouts in Clinton is doing well. All people in Clinton who approve of the aims of the Cub and Scout organization to produce better citizens should buy a booster card from one of the Cubs or Scouts. If you cannot buy a booster card perhaps you can spare an hour on a Monday evening to come down and help to train the future citi- zens of Clinton. Get behind your local group committee under the chairmanship of L. G. Winter to make Clinton one of the best Scouting and Cub organizations in Western Ontario. FIRST CLINTON AIR FORCE CUB PACE During the month of February the Cub Pack of RCAF Station Clinton had a very busy program.

At the meeting on February 'd, a Going Up ceremony was per. formed. Senior Sixer Henry Har- ley, Sixer Ray McClennan, and First Star Cub Ted .Abbott left the Cub Pack and became mem- bers of , the Station l3oy Scout Troop. Henry Harley was given his Leaping Wolf Badge. New boys to visit the Pack for their first taste of Cubbing were Michael Bate, Harvey Noble and George Smith, On February 16, 21 boys were in attendance, The badge work for the evening was dispensed with as the Assistant Cubmaster Bob Banks, was sick. Games were played and at 8.15 the Pack left for their homes. At a Private Night, on February 23, and most of the 22 Cubs pres- ent looked very fierce in their pirate attire. Prizes for the best costumes went to Danny Doyle, John McClennan, Billy Miller and Billy Graham, A guessing num- bers game was played and prizes were won by Jim Parker, Robert Alabon, Michael Bate and Garry Olien.

THE 4 364to ?eveedept There are those sports followers who be- lieve that, In matters of sport, the Canadian eolleges Have withdrawn too much within themselves, by limiting, mainly, their atidetie competition to inter -college play, Some critics even go so far as to intimate that there should be, in Canadian college football, qi. "bowl" game between east and west, played annually. This writer is not in agreement with such theories, We believe Canadian colleges have struck a very sound perspective in their survey of sports, by making study the paramount thing. We think it will be a sorry ,day indeed when the only standard we have for. collegiate superiority is the ability to win at football, hockey, or other games. Sports can be justified as sport in our educational system only when played primarily for the student body and by the boys wlio are enrolled through normal .channels, These boys should desire to play as a normal phase of their collegiate life. We don't believe the day will ever come in Canada when, even in ratio, collegiate sport will reach the highly commer- cialized status achieved by the American football teams in the myriad "bowl" games played on New Year's Day: There were at least 12 of these in the United States, ranging from the Peanut Bowl in Georgia to the gigantic Rose Bowl show in Pasadena. Over two million dollars was netted, and 'turned over to the competing schools and Conferences and associated institutions that shared in the cuts. That's all very nice. But if you happen to reflect on the situation, and get beneath the money, the roses, and the glamour, and the printer's ink so profusely spilled, it may sud- denly dawn on you . that these things have no educational value, that it may be an insult to the educational process to turn college boys into a trained act to be trotted out before the clamoring throng. But the golden ladle is there and the appeal is apparently hard to resist. So credit is dace to those American schools which rejected this last' act of mass entertainment and told their players to go back to their studies. This year's bowl extravaganzas were bigger and louder than ever, but each year the available cast grows more limited, as one smaller school after another, and some of the larger schools, too, abandon an enterprise which places the emphasis on physical power, So we should be a little proud of the fact that Canadian colleges permit no suck commercialization of the students. Studies are the paramount thing, sport a pleasant side -line, relegated to its proper place.
