We didn't mind, It is an honor to bo asked ittto the scout move- ment awl a thrill to -be able to. Say that yon were Mice a tender- foot, To figure out just what fun there is in scouting you would have toimagine that you are 0 twelve year old boy with vitality to burn and desires that would fill the whole world to overflow- ing. "Let a group of boys of scout- ing age near a -stream of water and there will be some splashing. Somebody ie going to wind up wet as an old clucking hen, I speak fronh experience, I was usually the character that they , threw intoo the river. Oftmes as not someohte carie with ole. Some fun eh? If you were a boy of tender years you would call that fun . . and why not 1 Is it not better than dreaming of gun fights and stabbing ! Better to have your bones acfrom rough and aching g tumble tactics than your head swimming with chaos from over- ripe gangster programs. Boys like discipline. They will grumble to no end but will ac- cept it if it is handed out fair and square. Boy Scout training demands that each and every boy is treated to a goodly portion of taking orders and plenty to eat. Games and contests fill in the day. What better way to bring up a boy ? Scouting incites the imagina- tion and satisfies the yearning to be doing something. Beep a boy around the house all Sum- mer and you'll have a tiger W contend with.

We mentioned how to get to the Seaforth Boy Scout and Girl (Guide clew camp. Leavlug town you could go out three' different ways, Go down through Egthouu- yule and take the react leading Lo Hannah's schoolhouse. That is the one past .the Egmondeille cemetery and out along the brow of the fiver road , , , past John Modela nd's on the right, Kate Ellison's on the left, Dave MrtclLean's, Doe Stapleton's on the right and around the bend in the river that artists rave about. On your tight is the former Big Bill Forrest's rarer where Alber- ta Forrest and Marg Platt live. At the corner tarn left and swing down over Hannah's bridge past Harry MacLeod's, As soon as you go over the bridge look over to your right. The bushland you see is the location tor the new camp, It is almost across from Bill Forrest's place, The building of the camp into a permanent affair will not be accomplished overnight, It will require considerable work and a fair amount of money, With the help of well-wishers we can look forward to Seaforth and district having an attraction for boys and girls with supervision and train- ing.

Ten adults wore present. Subject for discus sion was teehnidai and vocational training, Even trained employees need re-training as many jobs change several times in a life span, All workers, in fact every- one, should be learning continu- ously through life. The night classes often are the answer for. those wishing to further their training. It should be possible for. middle aged workers to increase their knowledge and skill with- out spending time or money on increasing their academic knowl- edge, Ontario is behind in the use of the apprentice system which is a fine system of training people for a full knowledge of a certain skill, • In France a tax on all industries maintains this sys- tem, In Germany over 600 such occupational courses are offered. and actively promoted. In Hol- land the government gives gen- erous financial support to stud- ents in apprenticeship. In Canada the prairie ,provinces and Quebec are outnumbering Ontario in the number of students taking these courses. There should be more extensive training for girls wish- ing to learn a trade. The new vo- cational courses are very valu- able but we think the young peo- ple who can afford to do so should be encouraged to receive more .academictraining first. There is a great need for trained, capable instructors for more voc- ational and technical schools. In the past too many people have been made feel inferior because they were backward or unable to acquire high standards at high school. They niay have been gift- ed in other lines and would ex- cel at vocational schools. They would have been happier and been more useful citizens with proper training in some skill. Winners at euchre were, most games, Thos. Riley; lone hands, Eric Anderson; consolation, Oli- ver Anderson. PUBLIC INVITED TO ATTEND CAS MEETING Members,, of the public are cor- dially invited to share in the in- terest and activity of the Huron County Children's Aid Society by attending the annual meeting of held in the. council 'chambers, court house, Goderich,. at 2.30 next Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 14. The CAS receives help and do- nations from every sector of the county, but many may be una- ware that they are most welcome to attend this gathering. The Huron County Society has achieved -an enviable record for its efficient work and the depth of understanding which has marked its directors and staff members. During 1961 no less than 6627 visits were made to homes by member's of the staff; there were 1991 personal inter- views; ' 2416 telephone inter- views; 223 court appearances. In the same year the society was responsible for the care and supervision of 78 families in their own homes•, a total of 275 child- ren, One hundred and four child- ren were cared for in foster homes. The statistics indicate a busy year, and when it is realized that this work is handled by five social workers and two clerical assistants, the magnitude of the task becomes apparent. One of the 'most important as. pects of the work is the tremen- dous effort which is constantly being made to provide proper care and supervision of children without removing them from their own homes. Often this is the hard way to do the job, but it guarantees the bare minimum of heartbreak and separation. Child and family care account- ed for an expenditure: of $74,000 in Huron county last year. As one of the contributors to this pro- gram you are invited to attend the annual, meeting next Wednes- day. - HENSALL Past Grande Hold Euchre The Past Noble Grands of Am - her Rebekah Lodge held a euchre in the lodge rooms on Thursday evening with the Past Noble Grande of the LO.O.F. as the guests.
