'DOINGS IN THE SCOUT WORLD "Had the Scout Movement spread wider in its early days there would not be such lamentable indiscipline among the young men of today."— Archbishop Downey, addressing 1600 Catholic Boy Scouts at a Liverpool rally. Count Bernadotte Swedish Chief Scout Count Folke Bernadotte, nephew of the King of Sweden,, has been ;ap- pointed Chief Scout for that country, in, succession to the late Major Ebbe Lieberath, Count Bernadotte has been actively associated with Swedish Scouting for many years.

The plan resulted from a• Christmas holiday misadventure of, two boys of the school, who got on the wrong train train at ' Pitince Albert. In conse- quence they did not reach their homes' for Christmas. Scouters' Night at Royal Ontario Museum A "Scouters' Night" at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, "To show could not hold up longer. She could not battle through her daily story of the search for him. Mack Hanlon saw it and told her she must take a rest. "You've been working on your nerve," he told her. "You've got to quit for a while. Your job will be here when you want it. The old man told me this morning. But you've got to get yourself in shape. It's no good trying to go on." But idleness was almost as bad,. jt seemed, as work. For days she stayed in bed but it seemed that she could not rest. When exhaustion finally claimed her, she would go in- to a dim consciousness that passed for sleep but she would wake as tir- ed as before, as little able to think or to fight. Jimmy Hale called up now and then and told her he would let her know the instant anything was heard but he would, not come to see her, "I can't do it, Nat," he said, "while Mont is missing. If he's all right, I'll be up, and if they find him dead, I'll stick with you till the end of time. But I can't come up now, kid. Don't ask me." At last she understood what was the matter with Jimmy. He was put- ting up his own fight.Ile had de- nied his love for her and had fought his battle, but he knew he would have it all to do over again if he saw her. And besides, there was some strange honor in him that would not let him come to her while there was a chance that Mont would oe back. Perhaps, it was not quite ,that ei- ther. It was too much like waiting for Mont's death and all that he might hope it meant to him. 3Vith Mont alive, Jimmy could come back knowing there was no hope for him. With Mout dead, he might come back with hope. But not to know was too much, for Jimmy Hale. Her heart went out to the boy. And then one day when she was sit- ting onthe ocean shore trying to get back her strength to meet the dread news she was sure would one day come, she saw that Jimmy walk- ed with Sunny Marion along the reeks above, The girlseemed to be -a shadow of herself. Natalie sat up, For the first time it occurred to her that --� Sunny might be as hard hit as she. Surely! the tragedy of uncertainty ought to have brought them together before this. Sunny was spreading a blanket on `he rocks and Jimmy left her there presently without seeing that the. girl below was Natalie Wade. When the boy was gone, Natalie climbed up to where the golden girl sat starting at the sea. Sunny sprang up at sight of her as though she saw a vision. "Natalie," she cried. "Please, Nat- alie, don't come up here, Don't look at me like that." "Don't be silly!" Natalie tried to laugh. "If we are going crazy over the same man, we might as well get it off our chests by talking to each other.,, Sunny stood helplessly while Nat- alie climbed the rock to her side. When the dark girl took her into her arms, Sunny burst into tears. "Oh, Nat," she cried, with sobs, "I cheated. I loved him so. I was bound you shouldn't have him. You know, I think. " I was out with him that night." "Let's forget about all that," Nat- alie begged. "Let's just talk about him."

One British Possession In South America The only British possession in South America is British Guina ly- ing along the north coast and flanked oast, south and north by Dutch ana, Brazil and Venezuela, The Dutch first settled the territory but the present British colony was found- ed in 1814. The area is 90,500 square milesor about one-quarter the size of the Pro- vince of Ontario. The population of 133,000 is 42 per cent East Indian, and 38 per cent African extraction. Portugese number over eight thous- and and other Europeans two thous- and. The chief agricultm'al products are sugar, with its by-products rune and molasses, rice, coconuts, copra and coffee. Next to sugar bauxite for the manufacture of aluminum was. the Colony's •most valuable export last year. Gold and diamonds and greenhear't timber are other impor- tant products, British Guina is served with direct sailings front Canada and many tour- 1 ists visit this tropical country when their own native land is covered with a blanket of snow. There they mayl see ships being loaded with commodi- ties for the Dominion. Canada is the second major market for British Guiana products and the value of the exports increased from 84,511,000 in 1935 to 54,043,000 in. 1036. The gain was due largely to bauxite' and molasses although sugar is Canada's largest requirement. Imports from Canada were valued' at $1,314,000 a slight increase over TELEPIIONE TALKS IN TIIE WATSON FAIIIILY .°.. "MY DAD can talk farther than YOURS !
