DOINGS IN THE SCOUT
WORLD
John Buchan. Promises Canadian
Scouts A Story
"I will use this in writing a story
of Canada and Canadian Scouts," was
a promise of His Excellency the Gov-
ernor-General, presumably speaking
as "John Buchan," -, in accepting a
writing table set from the Boy Scouts
Association of Toronto at the eecent'
district annual banquet.
Lord Tweedsmuir Discusses Scouting
And Democracy
"Scouting fosters a community spi-
rit, a true democratic spirit, which
means not only freedom, but accept-
ance of responsibility, when European
youth are being welded into militaris-
tic units"
Thus spoke His Excellency the
Governor-General, Lord Tweedsmuir,
addressing a notable gathering of
1200 guests, at the annual banquet
of the Toronto Scout Association.
"We do not want to see Scouting
ever afflicted with militarism," His
Excellency declared. The destiny
of our system depends on the quality
and character ;of our people. At a
time of very grave danger today,
when the extraordinary advances of
science develop, by false analogy, $
tendency to mechanize . all human
society, we the more realize the value
of Scouting, which appreciates and
encourages individuality, and brings
boys into contact with each other in
a spirit that will never be mechaniz-
ed."
His Excellency was introduced by
Sir .Edward Beatty. Others of the

The Wonder of the Telephone
Bob Bowman, producer and commentator of the series of "Night
Shift" broadcasts being presented every Thursday over the national
network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, wires this column
from Quebec City to say that on March 18 he will pay a visit to the
head office of the Bell Telephone Company at Montreal. In conversa-
tion with E. W. Lyman, of the Bell publicity department, we learn
that the company is placing every facility at Mr. Bowman's disposal
and that arrangements are being made to give demonstrations of
long-distance calls in. Canada and a trans-Atlantic call from Montreal
to London, England, as well as interviews with switch -board operators
and technicians• Among the exciting phases of the half-hour feature
will be a sound picture of the scrambled speech equipment used div-
ing long-distance talks. The equipment makes conversation intelli-
gible only to those at each end of the telephone receivers. The call
to England will last for four minutes and will be made by means of
the trans-Atlantic Marconi beam system. The calls in Canada will
be from the Bell head office to Torgnto and Vancouver. It also is
expected that the broadcast will include a "conference call" between
Quebec city, Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto, while another highlight
of the show will be an 'interview with the engineer at the long-dis-
tance test board where the source of line breaks and other trouble can
be located in a matter of a few minutes. This will be the seventh
in the "Night Shift" series. The wheels of industry will spin again
on March 25 when Mr. Bowman will be heard from the Royal Mint
at Ottawa.
Canadian Concert Hall of the Air
At 9.00 (EST) on March 17, CBC will present its third broadcast
in the cycle of Canadian music in the weekly program "Canadian
Concert Hall of the Air." On this date the Little Symphony Orches-
tra, under the direction of Dr. J. J. Gagnier, will have as guest artist.
Lionel Daunais, noted baritone, and the program, which will be of half
an hour's duration, will feature the following numbers written by
composers of this country: "Ode Funetre," by Frere Placide; "Les
Croix do Chemin," by Lionel Daunais: "Reverie." by Guillaume Cou-
ture; "Voici l'agneau de Dieu," and "Dane de Salome," also by Cou-
ture. Guest artist on the same program for March 24 will be Doug-
las Clarke and Severin Moisse (piano duo) and Roland Leduc (violin
cellist). Alexander Brott, George Emile Tanguay, Sir Ernest Mac-
Millan, Douglas Clarice, Arthur Fernier, and Alexander Chuhaldin, all
Canadians, will be the composers whose works, will be represented.
"The Book Review"
If a conscientious reviewer with a national reputation says that
a book is "wildly exciting." then this must be the thing to read if
thrills are wanted. "The Other Half," written by Jahn Worby. has
been described by Professor J. F. Macdonald, as such and he will re-
view it for the CBC listeners on Saturday. March 13, at 7.46 pan.
EST. "The Other Half" was written by a bad man, a man who has
lived under cover on both sides of the Atlantic and who has engaged
in crime in both Eneland and America. He came to Canada as a
Barnado boy and in'his book there is a story which causes the reader
to conclude that Worhy's life could very easily have been trod along
more sunny and less hazardous paths. On this same broadcast Pro-
fessor Macdonald will discuss the last important work of a man
whose life also was crowded with adventure and excitement but which
gained a niche in history's hall of fame. Rudyard Kinling's impor-
tant autobiography, "Something of Myself," revoale Kipling in 1935
very much at his best, so near to the end -and perfection.
Marjorie Payne on Holiday
Mariorie Payne. of the CBC Halifax studios, famous as Canada's
only woman orchestra leader. paid a brief visit to "Along the Air
Waves" sanctum-sanctorum the other day and tells us that she is on
a busman's holiday -the only respite from baton waving she had had
for more than four years. Says she intends to visit production centres
at Toronto and Montreal and get new ideas for her programs: "Music
to Remember" and "Acadian Serenade."
Random Jottings
Congratulations to George A. Taggart, of the CBC Program de-
partment at Ottawa, who the other day became a father again. Now
has a family of two sons, the recent arrival a blue-eyed, curly -headed
hos called George Armour. News of the blessed event reached Dr.
Allan Roy Dafo. at Callander. who promptly wrote: "What? No
suints? Anyway, congratulations on the receipt of George Armour.
May be not do all his broadcasting at night

CAT PORTRAITS
Did the photographer say, "Watch the birdie"? This command ought
to mean something to a cat, but, as a matter of fact, these poses were
obtained by dangling a bright object near the camera,
I
T is natural for an amateur pho-
tographer, according to his tastes
and interests, to 'become intrigued
with one kind of picture subject:
animals, machinery, trees, sky-
scrapers, wild life, marine views,
and what not. The result, often, is
that he finds himself pursuing a
fascinating hobby within a hobby--
searching
obby-searching for and photographing in-
teresting types of his favorite pic-
ture subject.
One of the most enjoyable and
challenging of one -subject hobbies
is making portraits of cats. You
soon learn that the mature cat is
an animal of many expressions, and
that . he rarely fails to reward you
with an interesting one. You lis
cover, also, that cats have indi-
viduality, even those of the same
breed. Consequently, in making cat
portraits you ,obtain a variety of
distinctive studies.
Sometimes -and this is the chal-
lenging part of cat photography -
you need something more than pho-
tographic skill to be successful.
When it comes to posing for the
camera, the feline is often a per-
verse creature. Dogs beyond the
puppy stage are generally obedient,
but,' to keep a cat in front of the
lens, it is usually necessary to en-
tertain him. Even then, Thomas le
likely to "take a walk" out of the
view ander, with complete indif-
ference to what you say to him or
about him. Ile has a mind of his
own. Hence, there will be times
when you will need Christian pa-
tience and an assistant to recover
the cat. Especially outdoors, when.
Thomas is in a lively mood, you may
find that the best you can get is
9/10 backyard and 1/10 cat. On the
other hand, Thomas loves to lie in:
the sun, especially after a good meal,
and then, usually, you Rud him a
most tractable model.
Inside the house the chances are
always good because here a cat is
generally quieter and disappearing
acts can be prevented, Hero, too, you.
oanmore easily arrange a contrasting
background. The surest way to catch
a pose is to use a flash bulb. Plood-
light lamps seem to cause most cats.
to lie down and bask. Cats, however,
being inquisitive, like to look grit of
windows for long periods, giving you
a chance to creep up on them and
snap a good picture by daylight.
A most useful "accessory before
the fact" for cat pictures is a por-
trait attachment over your regu-
lar lens permitting close-ups within
arm's length. But, if you do not use.a
portrait attachment, be sure your fo-
cus is correct so that the image of
the cat will be quite sharp. Then you
can mask out the surrounding part
of the negative to obtain a big -
image enlargement as in the pic-
tures shown above.
Remember that the typical physi-
cal characteristics of oats are their
whiskers and the liquid gleans in
their eyes. The one needs a contrast-
ing background; the other, it must
be confessed, needs luck with the
light reflections. If you succeed in
revealing both, you are a good cat
photographer.

MARKET FOR CANADIAN
PULPWOOD IN GERMANY
Notwithstanding that Germany has
extensive forest resources, a large
proportion of the stands is not suit-
able for manufacture into good qual-
ity pulp, hence it has been found ne-
cessary to import supplies for the
better varieties of paper manufac-
tures. Domestic resources are utiliz-
ed in the production of kraft and
similar grades of paper. Germany's
principal sources of supply for for-
eign pulpwood have been Russia,
Czechoslovakia and Finland, along
with Poland, Austria and Latvia. Ow-
ing to the strained relations with
Russia, Germany is looking for other
Sources of supply and is turning at-
tention towards Canada. There are
indications that a fairly good market
is owning up for Canadian pulpwood
in Germany, according to the Indus-
trial Department of the Canadian Na-
tional Railways.
His Story
"So!" cried the warden grimly,
"Trying to escape, are you? How
long did it take you to dig this tun-
nel?"
"Eleven months," sighed the con-
vict. "But you got pie wrong, war-
den. I didn't slant to escape from
prison."
"You don't, eh?" roared the war-
den. "Then what was the idea of
digging the tunnel?"
The convict looked over at the
lighted tree. He drew a deep breath.
"To tell you the truth, warden," he
murmured. "I just wanted to bid
you good evening."
