It soon develops into a contest be­ tween the daughters to deter­ mine who will .benefit the- most The two husbands' do not seem ito, have any very~ serious ob­ jections to this unseemly past- time, and the only person who ■appears to regard grandfathei' as anything but “an estate” is -Vic­ toria iSlater, his- grand-daughter.

Have you been able to answer it? Read on and I will try to answer it for you, 'The aim of the Boy Scouts As­ sociation is to develop good citizenship among Iboys by form­ ing their character) training them in habits of observation, obedience and self reliahce; in­ calculating loyalty and thought­ fulness for others; teaching them services useful to the public- and handicrafts useful to themselves, and promoting their physical, mental and spiritual develop-, ment. ■If you think I copied that from another book, you are right: “Policy Organization and Rules for 'Canada,” our standard refer­ ence on rights and wrongs, We are* doing our best to Im­ part to our 'Scouts the training Outlined 'above. Sometimes the road gets a bit stony and rough but somehow we manage to plug through. -Sometimes, also, we get the feeling, “aw,. sit back and let it -go for a while,” but then you think of the fun involved; the feeling that maybe you are doing your bit to -form a better Canada of tomorrow. Then comes the clincher—that new recruit throws you the Scout sign and' calls “Hl -Scouter” and faith is restored once again and you know you’ll never quit as long as you are able to breath. Believe me, -friends, acting as a, boys’ leader is one of the most rewarding occupations anyone can name, referring of course to the non $?$$$ reward. It certainly remains a mystery to me why more men in (Exeter haven’t tried to lend a hand with the groups in the capacity of leader. Goodness knows, our need for a Gubinas ter has been well publicized but still — no volunteers. There is a waiting.list of seve­ ral 'boys who cannot get into Cubs because there is no leader to accomo-date them. As we -have said before, you don t need ito have had experience, we'll soon teach you tho "ropes”. .Swinging over to troop news, which I might add is very scarce this week, we see a very im­ pressive trophy nestling in the Wolf Rnttol’a corner. Now they have It they certainly are going to do their best to retain it by winning the next patrol competi­ tion. Saturday’s 'paper drive was a large success thanks to the many .people who kindly saved their paper for us. We took in very close to $400. , The next drive 'will be at the end of April, go until then, keep rolling those old -newspapers, We certainly appreciate your help. •A few cubs and scouts are short some articles of uniform and other people have some uni­ forms around 'their houses, To get the two together we are or­ ganizing a uniform exchange and sale bank so j-f you have articles for sale or exchange or if you wish to buy a iseoond hand uni­ form let us know.
