Dear Departed
By W. <3. COCHRANE
"This comedy in one act
been acclaimed one of the best
dh fhis class ever to have been
written. „
•Xt ihas a simple story which
illustrates the adage ’“Where
there’s -a Will there's a Way.”
The action .takes place in a
provincial town on a Saturday afternoon, ,. ‘
. Abel Merryweather, a rather
spry grapd-father of some seven
ty years, is believed to have gone
.to Ms reward and his two daugh
ters. Amelia Slater and Elizabeth
Joqdan, with ithe assistance of
their husbands, 'busy themselves
with the ’interesting task of di
viding grandfather’s estatet' It
soon develops into ”a contest be
tween the daughters to deter
mine who will .benefit the most
The two husbands do not seem
[to have any very serious ob
jections to this unseemly past-
tiime, and the only person who
appears to regard grandfather as
anything hut “an estate” is /Vic
toria iSlater, his grand-daughter.
The play ends with a most
s t a r t li n g development which
should prpvide great amusement
te any play goer.

This Week In
Whalen
By MRS. F. SQUIRE
“What the heck is
ing business anyway?
(Perhaps somebody
■you that very question at some
time. Have you been able io
answer it? Read on and I will
try to answer It for you.
The aim of the Boy Scouts As
sociation 4s to develop good
citizenship among Ihoys by form
ing their character; training
them in /habits of observation,
obedience and self reliance; in
calculating loyalty and thought
fulness for others; teaching them
services useful te 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 'Scpute 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 “Hi 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 iboys’ 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 Cubmiaster has ibeeh
well publicized but still — no
volunteers.
There is a waiting list of seve
ral hoys who cannot get into
Cubs because there is no leader
to 'accomodate them. As we have
said before, you don’t need to
have had experience, we’ll boon
teach you, the “ropes”.
^winging over te troop news,
which I might add is very scarce
this 'week, we see a very im
pressive trophy nestling in the
Wolf Patrol's corner. Now they
have it they certainly are going
to do their best to retain it by
winning the neit 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
yery close to
The next drive will be at the
end of April, so until then, keep
rolling those, old newspapers. We
certainly appreciate your help.
'A few cubs and scouts are
short some articles pf uniform
and other people have some uni
forms around their houses. To
get the two itogether we are or
ganizing a uniform exchange' and
sale bank so it you have article.a,
for sale or exchange or if you
wish to buy a second hand uni
form., let -us know. iQaill 7p6iJ and
leave your name and details.
We’ll do our best to if lx you up.
Those of you who are parents
of Scouts or Cubs may be asked
now and again to assist ns in
transportation on short trips. Mr,
Doug Wedlake is in charge of this
detail iso perhaps you will be
hearing from him. ’
A hike is planned tor this
coming (Saturday. We expect to
•be going back to ithe pinery, the
details of this excursion will be
given next week. I fully expect
to be able to write next zweek
as I shall be doing my own cook
ing on the /hike.
Until then...,,...
