WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE 'SAYING
One of the puzzles in the European
situation is how Germany, unable to
meet treaty financial obligations, can
find means' to pay for her rearma-
ment program and also carry on the
extensive Nazi programs of rehabil-
itation requiring large expenditures.

THOSE TWO GRADUATES
Two young sten in the spring of
1929 graduated from the engineering
department of Toronto University.
The one young man was tired and
concluded that he must, rest up for a
month. The other young fellow rest-
ed for a week took a little money
from the family purse and started
out with the word, "Dad, I'll not
come home till I get a job, and in my
own line." His first job was stoking
coal and wiping up and doing odd
jobs about a big firm where engin-
eers in his line were employed} He
paid his way but he nearly starved,
and he went shabby. In a year his
wages were better. Now he has a
good job whose worth ' he really
knows and '.society appreciates. In
the meantime he did not get a cent
from home. He made good on his
own.
Youth number two had a sense of
dignity. "I've prepared myself for
a special line of work and I'II not
do anything else," he told his par-
ents. Well, he hasn't' a job yet. Ti'e's
away out of the running, His know-
ledge is out of date. He's one of
the unemployed and soon will be an
old span who is totally good for noth-
ing. So there you are. Much de-
pends upon the boy hineself or the
man himself when iit comes to get-
ting and to keeping a job.

ON THE HIGHWAY
The days of the open road are
with us again, and already folks are
planning their trips for the coming
summer months. Soon the highways
wilt( Ibe dotted with thousands of
motor cars, travelling from town to
city or city to town. Whether you
and your friends enjoy the trips de-
pends, a, lot on the speed you travel
anal }Whether yme arrive safely at
your destination. It is well to re-
member that in Ontario alone last
year • there
were Y w five hundred
and
twelve fatalijfleiel} and eight Hems -
and nine hundred and ninety acci-
dents which were not fatal,
In driving a car, many a man, and
also a woman reveal themselves. It
is the thoughtless, . 'selfish, reckless
driver that is largely responsible for
the toll on the highways. Mint is
gained if 'you arrive at your destina-
tion a few iseeonds ahead of sched-
ule? Why is it that so many driv-
ers act like a boor when they get be-
hind the wheel of a car, and leave.
behind them every vestige of cour-
tesy'and conside'r'ation of others?
The motor car is a wonderful inven-
tion, butin the hands of one with-
out judgment or balance, it is a ter-
rible instrument .of destruction, leav-
ing death and maimed lives in its
wake. •
Remember On the highway, time
is net the essence of the contract'
your duty as an automobile driver is
to bring safely home not only your-
self, but your family and friends
wiio may be travelling with you.

THAT ARGUMENT IS SETTLED
An argument between Ex -Reeve
Albert Goldthorpe, of Colborne town-
ship, and Rev, D. J. Lane, of Knox
Presbyterian church, as to the Tela-
Live ability to "take it" of a hard -
Working farmer and a minister who
"works just once a week,;" resulted
in an impromptu sawing, bee on
Wednesday. To decide who really had
the better staying power, the ,pair
adjourned to Court House Park,
where some trees were being cut
down. A space was cleared and they
fell to with a will, sawing and chop-
ping at a great rate. After a few
minutes, in which onlookers stated
the clergyman had it over Albert
"like a tent," the latter admitted de-
feat and vanished from the scene.
He .is probably resting up, as he
has not been seen in town since,

French -Speaking Quebec Officially
Adopts Scouting
What is regarded in &Luting cir
ales as an historic event, and one
forecasting rapid growth of the
Movement in Quebec, was the confir-
motion at the, recent annual meeting
0e the Boy ,Shouts Association of the
agreement by which La Federation
des Semites Catholiques de le Pro
vine de Quebec became associated
with the Boy Scouts Association as
a parallel, autonomous body, under
the Chief Scout for Canada and the,
Canadian General Council, the gov-
erning body of the' ,Scout Association,
Most appropriately, Lord Baden-
Powell himself was . present at the
meeting at which this important de-
velopment was consummated.
In practically all respects Le Fed-
eration parallels the organization,
principles, code and
rules of the Boy
Scout Association, and the 'same uni-
form will be worn, orally the badge
being distinctive. This will be a red
Jerusalem: Cross and •Maple Leaf on
the hat, and on the shirt the Fleur-
de-lys.
Membership in La Federation is
opento all Catholic men and boys in
Quebec who desire to join; French
speaking Roman Catholic Scouts dee
siring recognition must be members
of Le Federation.
The details' of the agreement were
drawn up by a special committee of
the Scout Association and His Emin-
ence Cardinal , Villeneuve„
Archbishop of Quebec.
They Attended the King's Coronation
One of the unique celebrations of

Water, Water!
The Patrol Leader, or Junior Scout
leader, was catechising his boys on
some of the finer points of first aid,
and rescue work in particular.
"A man," he said to the smallest
Scout, "had fallen into the water and
gone under several tines. You 'swim
out, dive," bring him up and swim
with him to the shore. What would
you do next?"
Came the reply, "I'd run and get
hint a drink of water."

The Scout Hobby Idea
I like children to have a hobby --
a hobby for the time when they are
grown up and when old age draws
near. Ono bf the saddest things in.
life is to find people who have learn-
ed their )business, • who have got
through Itfe in a most useful way,
but at then end when work stops, do
not knew what to do. I have my
hobby. It is the greatest con.sol'stion
in life to have something that you
can fallback on, soanething that has
brought you no <bread, but has al-
ways been
lways-been a great pleasure.—(General
Smuts, to Johannesburg schoolboys.
ARMIFSTICE
After an immense amount of trou-
ble the vicar of a country pariah suc-
ceeded in reconciling two old women
who had been quarrelling for years,
Ile evert' induced them to meet under
the vicarage, roof.
In his drawing room they shook
bands. After an embarrassed silence
one of them said:
"Well, Mks, Tyler, I wish you all
you wishes me."
"An' who's saying nasty things
now?"' snapped Mrs. Tyler.
AUBURN—Mrs, J. Wegner of the
Base Line met with a very painful
acoident'on May 28th. She went to
milk and thinking the stool was in
its usual place, she was in some way
knocked under the cow and was
trampled), Her condition was such
that medical attention was required.

Make the Camera
Your Traveling Companion
Lee your camera be your
favorite traveling compan-
ion. Your vacation and
travel snapshots will serve
admirably In illustrating
letters you write later to
relatives and friends.
AMEMBER of the Snapshot Guild
returned recently from a rather
long journey after visiting relatives
in many cities. "I had a lovely time
visiting and enjoyed the traveling,"
she wrote, "but one thing took a lot
of joy out of my trip. I did not take
along my camera, No, I didn't forget
it. I simply didn't take it and thought
no more about it until I reached my
sister's home. Then 1 discovered
something. I have been reading the
Snapshot Guild, have taken quite a
number of good pictures by follow-
ing instructions, but didn't realize
that I had unconsciously developed
an eye for pictures," she continued,
"When I arrived at my sister's
home—my first stop—1 saw unlim-
ited possibilities for interesting,
story -telling pictures, ,I hadn't seen
my little niece Jean since she was a
month old and here she was toddling
around and getting into all kinds of
mischief. I could easily have taken
six or eight snapshots of this cute
youngster doing all kinds of inter-
esting things."
With the coming of warmer
weather and more sunshine we are
reaching that time of year when na-
ture is discarding her drab, winter
clothes for the bright colors of
spring and summer. It is a glorious
time of the year.
As the sun becomes brighter and
the skies clearer, remember that
more and better light will be enter-
ing- the Iens of your camera and
reaching your film. Your exposures
should be somewhat shorter than in
the winter.
Suppose, for instance, that on a
day in February you tookseveral
pictures of your child as she played
in the front yard. If you bad a fold-
ing camera and the day was of aver-
age brightness (with sunlight) for
that date; you probably set the lens
opening at f.8 and the shutter speed
at 1/25 of a second, and got a prop-
erly exposed negative. Again, sup-
pose you are hiking such a picture
today. Then what? if the sun is
shining brightly and the sky is clear,
instead of having the diaphragin set
at f$ and the shutter speed at 1/25
of a second as you did in February,
you should do one of two things.'
If you leave your lens opening at
1.8, your shutter speed should be set
at 1/50 of a second. Or, you might
set the diaphragm at f.11 and prob-
ably get the proper exposure, under
average sunlight conditions, with the
shutter speed of 1/25 of a second.
Personally I recommend the smaller
aperture, or lens opening, and the
slower shutter speed for the smaller
the diaphragm opening the greater
the depth of focus. Take advantage
of the brighter days. At home and
traveling have your camera ready
for instant -use.
