Charles Jackson, author of "The
Lost Week-end" which Sinclair
Lewis called "the only unflinching
story of an alcoholic that I have
even read • „ as terrifying, yet
as absorbing as the real tring," got
his higher education without going
to college,
Jackson is one of the script edi-
tors of Kraft Television Theatre,
which will present "The Lost
Weekend" Thursday, at 9:00 p.m., in
an adaptation by Will Lorin taken
directly from. the book. Author
Jackson was a victim of tubercul 7
osis two years after gradua.tiOn
from Newark (N.Y.) High School,
During the six years required for
recuperation, the young writer-to-
be educated himself to the colleta#
level and beyond.
"It doesn't sound right to say -
it, but these were some of the best'
years of my life," says Jackson,
"because I spent them reading, .1
learned languages, studied the
Bible, read and studied all of
Shakespeare, Proust, James Joyce,
the Russian authors and the Scan-
dinavian playwrights-all those
things one never seems to have
time to do,"
On his recovery, Jackson worked
"as an editor at CBS and wrote two
unsuccessful novels, which he now
dismisses as preparation, He wrote
"The Lost Week-end" during a
three-year period during which he
delivered five scripts a week far a
daytime drama.
"The Lost Weekend," whicli
broke down the barriers to literary
discussion of a social problem, was
an instantaneous success. Since
then Jackson has written for
Hollywood besides penning 77 short
stories and publishing four other
books.
The Kraft production will
mark the first time "The Lost
Weekend" has been adapted for.
TV directly from the book.
Joe Maross has been chosen to
play Don Birnam and appearing in
the play as Birnam's compassion-
ate financee will be Mary Pickett.

On April 8th, in the second part
of "Perspective's Arctic Essay," the
work of H.M.CS, Labrador is de-
picted in detail, The ship's big joy
is to prepare the Arctic for safer
navigation by ships of the future.
Oceanographers and frogmen, are
helping in different ways to as-
semble a mass of information nec-
essary for accurate charts of the
coastline, the ocean floor and the
currents, and tables on tides and
ice-conditions, Although the water
is very cold, it is, of course, no
colder than the freezing-point of
salt water and by wearing heavy .
"combinations" • under their rubber
suits the divers manage to keep
snug and warm,
A most unusual aid to . arctic
navigation used aboard the Labra-
dor is a television camera special-
ly fitted out for underwater use
in checking on the condition of the
ship's propellers. The camera is
aimed by a frogman but all the
controls are on deck beside the
monitor screen on which the ship's
engineer can examine the blades.

Paul Bennett who on Saturday
qualified for their Ambulance Man
badge. The requirements for this
badge include advanced first aid
work, and the badge is one of
four qualifying badges for .the
rank of Queen's Scout, highest
ranking badge in the Scout move-
ment. These are the first two
Queen's Scout qualifying badges
to be passed since the troop was
formed, less than a 'year ago.
To become a Queen's 'Scout a
boy must be a First Class Scout
and have passed four special
community service badges, of
which the Ambulance Man and
Pathfinder are compulsory. De-
muse of the amotint of work and
study which must he done before-
a boy can become a Queen's Scout,
there tire comparatively few of
them in the country,
The boys „found sheltered spots
along the river bank and camped
in patrols, with each patrol mak-
ing its own cooking fire and cook-
ing the afternoon meal. D'espite
_a snow storm, which at times
reached blizzard propOrtions the
boys were able to keep' snug and
warm in their camp sites.
During the afternoon a .number
of the newer boys passed fire-
lighting and cooking tests and
tree identification tests were also
taken,, as well as tracking. A
highlight of the hike was the fact
that none of the boys came home
with wet feet, for probably the
first time in the' troop's history.

Each year there are special
Queen's Scout recognition dinners
in the various sections of the
province, at which the Lieutenant-
Governor is present to present
Queen's Scout certificateS to the
boys who have earned the badge.
Next month on' of these dinners
will be held in Stratford, and
Sebuts from all over Western On-
tario will be present. Parents of
the hoys.,..also .attend. the . dimulr.,.
While most of the boys in the
-Winglirtm Troop have a long way
to go before aspiring to the
Queen's Scout badge, it is hoped
that several of them will be ready
for the next recognition dinner,
in 1957.
