The Richmond citizen wrote to the CBC as follows: Dear Sir: Would like to be advised by return of mail, if my howling wolves or the prairie wolf known as the Coyote, would be of any value to Bowl over the Radio. I have a pair of Coyotes e hear, that are howling all the time. e I guess ,there is about everything now being broadcast but the howl of the wolf. Any time I want them to howl I only have to ask them to howl. Maybe I should have same pictures taken of them and send them along with my next letter, howling with there mouth's a little more than wide open, showing them in the act. I have had 20 years experience with the C'oyote's. Now I know how to take them, its not everybody that can take my place with them. Its like this each and every animal with his trainer. Now I have the telephone maybee there could be a microphone installed in the center of them both, and attach it to the telephone and send there voices or there howl into a broadcasting station like this. Please oblige me. Will close for this time. Yours truly, (Sgd). "STREAMLINE" Percy Faith will apply the stream- line technique of his musical genius to one of the world's best loved com- positions for the next edition of the popular CBC presentation, "Stream- line", scheduled for Monday, March 28, 8.30 to 9.00 p.m., EST. The -pro- gramme, which will originate in the Toronto studios of the CBC with a modern symphony orchestra under the Faith baton and which will feature Dorothy Alt and "The Fashionaires", will highlight a special modern ar- rangement of Schubert's "Serenade". It is known that Schubert wrote more than six hundred songs. The "Seren- ade" is the most famous of this im- posing list. From the works of Del- ibes, most famous ballet music com- poser of his period, Mr. Faith has chosen another selection: the dainty "Pizzicato Polka". "Hearts and Flowers", familiar to the ears of every theatre goer, will be heard in streamline version, as will Jerome Kern's wistful song of earlier date, "Who", and Sousa's rousing "Stara and Stripes Forever". Dorothy Alt wild interpret two of the new popular songs in her own charming style, Carmen Lombardo's tuneful novelty, "It's Easier Said Than Done" and Harry Warren's newest hit, "You're an Education". "The Fashionaires" will present their awn original lyrics for "Three Blind Mice" and "Ti -Pi -Tin". "WHAT IS CONSERVATION" The problems attendant upon the conservation of Canada's forests and wild life are to be dealt with in a series of dialogues, sponsored by the Canadian Broadcasting (Corporation, Department of Biology, University of Toronto, will introduce the series, "Conservation", in a discussion with J. R. Dymond, of the Royal Ontario Museum. Under the title, "What, Is Conservation", these two authoriies on the forests, streams and animals of Canada, will outline what conser- vation involves, not only as regards animals directly, but including also the necessity of preserving their en- vironment.

World Nearing, s 3,000,000 There are today' 262,857 more Boy Scouts in the world than, there were at the end of 1936, according to fig- ures just published by the Interna tional Committee of the Boy Scouts Association in London. The total en roliment in all the 49 countries in which' the Scout organization is re- cognized is given as 2,855,689. Boy Scout Discipline Valuable (Toronto Globe -Mail) Of many convincing arguments ad- vanced by Lord Tweedsmuir in sup- port of the Boy Scout movement at a great rally on Saturday evening, the most striking was emphasis o n youth's need of discipline. There was, he said, a "poisonous creed" in some quarters which maintains that "children must never be checked or reprimanded, or in any way repres- sed; a creed based on a false and trashy psychology." His answer to this was that every individual must to some extent be checked and repressed, and that if children do net experience this they will encounter it later in life, when it will be harder to bear. The mild and sensible discipline of the Boy Scout training undoubtedly is 'its most important feature. This discipline appeals to youth because of its encouragement of the manly spirit. The Scout's pledge begins, "On my honor," and the average bay is proud to be placed on his honor. In the wards of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the movement, "The basis of character training is the cultiva- tion and practice of the sense of hon- or," and he continued: "If Scouting can do no more than evoke this one attitude among all classes, it would be worth while, for honor is the root foundation for , a sound, high-souled nation," This leads on to the potential in- fluence of nearly three million Boy Scouts on world conditions. Soon these youths, trained in manly quails ties, and with honor as their motto, will be the men of affairs. And men efl high character who will honor their pledged word are among the world's most urgent need at a time when national and international pled- ges appear in so many instances to count for little. A few million boys scattered throughout the world may appear a small force for good, but it must be remembered that "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." WOMEN BETTER TRAVELLERS THAN .MEN, SAYS RAIL MEN Women are better travellers than men, A. A. Gardiner, Assistant Gen- eral Passenger Traffic Manager of the Canadian National Railways, told a women's club here. They know their own minds. While men wonder where to go, women know and start marketing. They like bargain excur- sions. When it comes to family va- cations, they, make the decison in 75 to 80 per cent of the cases. "They are not so hard to please," Mr. Gardiner said gratefully. "They are more interested in what goes on around them, therefore, they get more out of travel. They know ex- actly what they want and, knowing the difficulty of service, they more fully appreciate what is done for them." With a great appreciation of beau- ty and the fact that they are hap- piest only when surrounded by beauty arid place a high value on cleanliness, women much more than men, he said, help the railways make their service attractive. "Generally, . the ladies show their better travel sense in nothing more strikingly than in their baggage. Ev- en a complete wardrobe is light, com- pact and easily carried. Small over- night bags, as against the huge and cumbersome impedimenta men carry, evidence the good judgment of the ladies." As a class, women school teachers are the railways' best patrons, Mr. Gardiner pointed out, with nurses a good second. Women leave things on trains, just as men do, he said, but not so many, although women travellers are in the majority. Theyseldom forget their compacts, though. 2.00 -Sunday Singers. 7.00 -St. Andrew's Church .

ANY DAY A FISH DAY Many Municipalities Without Railway Service Study of the map of Ontario shows that there are 2,569 municipalities in the province that are not on a raiI- way. These towns and villages are not all in the northern parts of the province, as might be expected. Many of them are in the older and well -set -1 tied districts of Southern Ontario. In York county, for example, there aro 105 muneipalities not served by rail- ways, but dependent on automotive' transport. In Wellington there are 60, in Huron 71. AND, "CHARGES MODERATE" Sandy joined a golf club and was told by the professional that if his name was on his golf -balls and they were lost, they would be returned to: him when found. "Good, said the Scot, "put my name on this ball." The pro did se. "Would you also put M.D. after it?" said the new member. "I'm et doctor." The pro obeyed. "There's just one more thing."' went on the Scot. "Can ye squeeze 'Hours 10 to 3' on as well?" oteSNAPSNOT GUIL "CANDID" BABY PICTURES No camera -consciousness in this young maestro! Any parent will treasure: an album of expressive snaps such as this one. LTAV17 you ever thought of taking 1 A a series of "candid" or "off - guard" pictures of the baby in his lighter or more active moments, and saving them in a special album entitled "We Knew Him When"? Any parent who owns a camera can build up a splendid collection of pictures such as this, and, if your baby is like most babies, the same pose or expression will never pop up twice. A small baby is probably the world's ideal subject for "offguard" pictures, because he is altogether lacking in camera consciousness. Once he learns that you won't let him chew the corners off the in- teresting black gadget, or pull the. shiny piece of glass out of the front, he dismisses the matter and pro- ceeds to more important things. Thereafter, you can shoot away to your heart's content. You don't need a high-speed mini- ature camera to take "candid" pic- tures of this sort,'A speedy lens is helpful, because then you can use higher shutter speeds and catch the youngster when be is trying his skill at somersaults or endeavoring to smash his rattle to pieces and see what makes it work. But a box cam- era will, do the work pretty well IC you are careful to watch for momen- tary pauses in the action. Even the. most industrious baby comes to a, brief halt now and then. During the winter months, most of your "off -guard" baby pictures will be taken indoors, and many of tliosss, at night. Amateur photo bulbs sap - Pie enough light for the night snap -- shots, and your film dealer will have booklets or leaflets' showing how to arrange them. With lights arranged, properly, the night snaps are almost as simple as those outdoors' in sur. - shine: In shooting the off -guard baby pic- tures, watch for expressive gestures' and fleeting expressions, and- train. yourself to catch them instantly.. Snap tears as well as smiles, for they will help you remember your baby as be is now. Anil, whenever you put a picture in your special alt. - bum, write under it the day ahs& year when it was taken. That wile help make the book a day by -day' biography which grows'in Value as the years roll by. 179 Sohn van; Guilder
