OFFICIAL OPENING CEREMONY OF NEWLY
RECONSTRUCTED ROAD HELD HERE, FRIDAY
will • find Leadership that is
trained, understanding, interest,
ed, and filled with the spirit of
the Movement, Leadership
dedicated to giving the boys firm,
benevolent discipline. it believes
in training boys along Scout
lines and in Scout practices.
We wring our hands and com-
plain that TV has cast a hyp-
notic spell upon our youth, that
homework in High School is too
heavy to allow any spare time.
Yet have we ever seen a boy
miss a hockey game or a base
hail game to watch TG or stay
in even; night of every week
doing homework rather than
attend a dance or a game?
if we blame 'the loss of Scouts
on anything but ourselves we're
kidding nn one but us! You and
me , Scouters! It's no good just
to sit and say -- "Pin doing the
right job, MY GROUP is a good
one". Friends, both in and out of
uniform, you • are indicted by
your own actions, or lack of
action! Today, when we are faced
with the possibility of a future
with no Scouts, we all
must work harder, con-
stantly, incessantly, to build our
Scout population in our troops,
and .to develop the kind of citi-
zens we can he proud to say of
"He was a Scout in my group
as a boy"!
In Brussels we will no longer
be able to say he was a, Scout in
our group because our group
committee has been forced to
discontinue the Boy Scouts
here for one reason, we have no
1 ,^aders to lead the troop.
if this letter reaches someone
who feels he can handle this lob
of leader or has a solUtion to irmr
problem please contact the
writer.

Yes, It's the distress call!
Some people have translated it
to mean "Save Our Souls".
Others point out it is merely AS
convenient grouping of 3 dots
and 8' dashes — easy to rem • -
ember in a PaWe, .. I've got a new meaning for you
to consider. It is "Save Our
Scouts". It is a disturbing thing
to realize that our Scout Popu-
lation is dwindling ail over our
country, Committees have been at
work trying to find reasons. Self-
appointed analysts. (like me)
have advanced many theories.
Still, no one seem to have found
the reasons, really. Most Just
say that this is a different world
than it was in 13. P's time.
This is a volunteer Movement,
and it's up to us as volunteers to
take an active part in helping to
solve the problem' of the disap- I tribute to the CNIB.
Pearing boys. Take a look 1 Mrs. IL De Vries, convenor of
around! Look at . the groups. health took charge of the meet-
which are flourishing. First you:
