SCOUTS RETURN FROM JAMBOREE --Kevin and Jason Bridge and Jonathon Lewis were
among 10 Wingham Boy Scouts who recently spent two weeks at the Canadian Jamboree at Prince
Edward Island.
Ten tired Scouts, leader
return from Jamboree
Ten tired Wingham Boy Scouts
and their leader returned home last
Thursday after an exciting trip to
the Canadian Jamboree .at Prince
Edward Island.
Jonathon Lewis and Jason and
Kevin Bridge were three of the sec-
ond -year Scouts on the trip. They
recounted highlights of their stay
last Friday.
The boys and leader Bob
Hewines of Wingham set out for
the jamboree July 12 in a van. Cana-
dian jamborees are held every four
years in various locations across the
country.
On their way to PEI, the boys
amused themselves by looking at
the scenery and armwrestling, of
which Scout Noah Train is the
undisputed champion.
Upon their arrival, the boys
hiked the final two kilometres to
the jamboree site where they set up
tents along with 14,000 other Scouts
before bedding down for a well-
deserved rest.
Their days were filled with activ-
ities. They played games, traded
and bought items at the trading
post, went sailing, fishing and,
Jason's favorite, the BMX bicycle
course.
They went sightseeing in Char-
lottetown and Jonathon went jet -
skiing, which, he reports, was
excellent.
Another pastime the boys
enjoyed was looking through the
binoculars. It appears that not all
Boy Scouts are boys any, more, so
the local lads took part in a little
girl -watching, although Jonathon
protests that he was looking for
birds.
In addition to all the fun, the
Scouts were expected to cook and
clean up afterward. Jonathon was
put on garbage duty by the chief
scouter for playing football with a
pudding.
As might be eXpected, the boys
say, thy food, —, hptdogs, and ham-
burgers for the most part — was
great.
In trading pins and badges, the
boys met others from various
regions in Canada and throughout
the world. Jonathon came to know
a boy from British Columbia,
another from the United States and
even said hello to a Russian one
day.
Jason and Kevin also enjoyed
meeting with other Scouts and the
various other activities. But finally
the jamboree drew to a close and
the boys were more than ready for
home. They set out on July 23,
returning to Wingham last Thurs-
day, July 27.

were crossbred Simmental and
Black Angus, black with white

come out of this year's conference
is an effort to continue the flow of
information between conferences
through exchange programs.
As far as advances in the Short-
en' horn industry are concerned, Mr.
Procter reports that the breed has
increased its frame size in recent
years, an encouraging sign.
The conference included atten-
dance at the Royal Highland Show
where the grand champion of all
beef breeds was a Shorthorn bull,
Chapelton Xile, entered by Mary
Durno, Uppermill Shorthorns in
Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
British Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher opened the show and
Queen Elizabeth 11 presented the
trophy to the owner of the champi-
on animal, Mr. Procter adds.
Back at the 'conference each
country reported on the si of the
Shorthorn industry during business
sessions. Several papers were pre-
sented by internationally -recog-
nized authorities on genetics, eco-
nomics, international markets,
futuristic trends in the industry and
youth -exchange programs.
Count ies represented by the 180
delegates included: Australia, New

Scotland, Ireland and England.
The executive of the Shorthorn
World Council re-elected President
Penn Cunningham .of Argentina;
Mr. Procter, vice president and John
Wood, England, secretary.
On the last day of the convention
and for the week following, most
delegates, including Mr. and Mrs.
Procter and daughter Anne, toured
well-known Shorthorn herds
throughout Scotland, Ireland and
England. Activities concluded with
the Royal Livestock Show at
Stoneleigh, Coventry.
New Zealand was chosen as the
site for the next triennial conference
in April of 1992.
Adding the cost of furnishings
and equipment tacks on another 3.7
per cent to the household mainte-
nance budget for today's families,
bringing this to 41 per cent of
spending. Furnishings and equip-
ment took another 5.5 per cent fifty
years ago, making the total then
more than 70 per cent of total
family spending.
