It is to be held at Camp Martyn at Inverhuron from May 17-19. The Scouts held a successful paper drive at which we roller• ted about 20 tons. We would like to thank everyone who saved papers. Many thanks to the fathers and leaders who help. ed us. We would like to ex- press our appreciation to those who let us use their trucks to pick up the papers. Spothng the brilliant child Many brilliant children go unnoticed because parents don't know what to expect. They can be overlooked at school, too, since. very bright childrenare apt to find their work too simp- le. They become bored and their work habits become slop- py- But here are some, clues from the federal health department publication, "The Brilliant Child": The exceptionally intelli- gent child usually starts to talk early. If he says, "Mamma" or "Daddy" before a year or talks in sentences before he is two, the chances are he is un- usually bright. His vocabulary is important too. For example, if it is more than 25 words 18 Months, there is likely an INSPECTION GRADING NOW TO SELECT MEAT CHARACTERISTICS GO R RI E 1 :;Till!

By five, very bright children have often taught themselves to read. They have a 'never- ending curiosity and appetite for knowledge. They are ex- tremely quick learners and 'understand explanations the first time. Their memories also are usually quite excep- tional. It is harder to spot children with extraordinary artistic or other talents. The particularly gifted ones are those who Com- pletely immerse themselves . in their special pursuits with an almost inexhaustible drive and energy: They have a remark- able sense of color; touch, Sound, originality, persever- ance and powers of concentra- tion. Once you have made the discovery your child is excep- t•;onal, you must provide, him with sufficient opportunity to explore, ask questions, experi- ment and learn, whether ,it is . . at nursery school, on the farm, at the library, or on outings with the family. This is the only, way,he can d velop his special abilities for a full and satisfying futute. Remember,, however, that however gifted he may be, he is still just a child and has the • same needs as others, to be liked and wanted, to get praise and recognition: However healthy you are, you'll never see 85 if you keep looking for it on the speedom- �` eter. Like eirerything else these days, the-Acaderhy Awards Show had to have a 'new look', with so many changes that it was hard to keep up with them all. The show was produced live at a new location, the los Angeles Music Centre, and al- though Bob Hope showed for about five minutes (he said he had been waiting at the show's old location, which caused a laugh), he was :not the host, as he bas been for years. Producing this $low is always a problem, as it is hard to tell how long acceptance speeches will run; but this year's : 'man at the helm', Gower Champion who produced, directed and. choreographed the whole she- bang, said it would run more than two hours over his dead body, and he stuck to his word and kept it a few minutes short of the two hours. The hosts seemed unrehears- ed and confused, not really s. knowing what was coming next. There are many people in Hol- lywood who will not even walk on stage in front of a television camera, lest they become 'over- exposed'; but they seldom re- fuse a guest spot on this night - of -nights for the movie colony, and their audience enjoys see- ing them in -the -flesh. This was missing this year, with only a dozen stars appearing. I par- ticularly missed two 'oldfavour- ites that I think have beautified every Oscar show since the early fifti'et--Angie Dickenson and Barbara Rush. The, result was that the large auditorium was not nearly filled; today's young stars, if not participating , prefer to watch the show at home. Those that we did see in the audience, other than the nominees. were the 'old e r , former stars', like Loretta Young, Jane Wyman, Jo an Crawford; Jane Russell and the pert wife of the director, Marge Champion. Funny too, but it was these ladies, and the two older stars on stage, Ingrid Berg- man (I hope I look as well-pre- served when I'm nearing sixty!) and Roz Russell -who "could have taken awards for beauty. The awards were shared by a number of pictures \ this year, rather than one taking the whole 'caboodle, as so often happens. "Oliver" would have to 'be men- tioned as the most honoured -- being named Best Picture and receiving awards for art direc- tion, sound, best musical score, best direction by Sir Carol Reed, and a special award to its chor- eographer, Onna White. ►' IQnni Lee "ROM() .and Juliet" won g't COStAttn, design and VilleMall0g sappy, with "The 1.4om in Wint- er" reeeiv.ipg wilting and ical scorwg awards. 44 wr award also went to *The Pro. ducats"; "Planet of the, 4pes" won award far its ina man, John Chambers; ., VC"' cial effects a w a t4 went tp "20Q1; A SpaceQdyssey"; and. HBuilitt" was awarded the flint' . editing honours.. "Robert l(ennecly Retnember. ed " was named the :best short subject; "War and Peace", from Russia, the best foreign film; and a film on "The. 'to u ttg Americans, " the best documen- tary. The beat song was, mills of Your Mind" from "The 'Thomas Crown Affair"; but Ito' me, the best .performed song on this production, was "Chitty, .' Chitty Bang Bang". . The four major aetingarwardt went to five different pictures, which is another switch. Sup- porting awards went to Ruth Gordon for "Rosem f I's Baby" and Jack Albertson for "The,. Subject was Roses"; wItb; lead .'. role awards presented to Cliff Robertson for "Charly" and two actresses (the first time I re- member seeing a tie in ehs;Cat egory)--Barbra Streisand. fox "Funny Girl", and Katherine • Hepburn for "Lien . in Winter".: Robertson is a real joy, at last, getting recognition. after years of hard work; his role as the mentally retarded man. in 'Charly' is outstanding. This as; . Hepburn 's third Oscar, having won last year and in 1932. A highlight, in addition to e seeing Ma rf aha Raye s special' award find its right tome, was the appearance of Marni Nixon who ig' always in the :background, '. She has. sung ,for many stars ,, some Of them Deborah Kerr •it 'King and I', Natalie Wood in 'West Side,Story' and Audrey Hepburn in 'My Fair Lady'.

"Well, " said the aunt, subsiding a little, "I just thought, surely the leaves must be bigger than that. " ATTENTION, HAS THE D ; WOMAI(1,41 YOUR LIFE BEEN DROPPING HINTS ABOUT REDECORATING?
