Zurich Herald, 1932-05-05, Page 3Our Weekty Scout Law—No. 6:
t'A Scout is a Friend of Anima*"
Of course be 1st 1'1'e have just held
a• 'Lone Scout Dog Show, and every
entrant had to state why he particular-
ly liked itis own dog. Quite• a lot of
them stated that the reason is because
"my .clog likes me!"
The majority of animals can be
tamed, sonic much more easily than
'others, and they all respond to kind -
toss. No wild animal will attack a
Mian on sight, unless it is desperately
hungry, or else it is afraid for its
young 'ones, or some other unusual
reason.
Gig game hunters will tell you that
;ions and tigers in. their wild state will
practically always do their best to
avoid meeting a man.
Quite a few animals are capable of
showing very 'genuine affection for
,human beings, and. many a Dog, cat,
horse, monkey, etc,, has proved .this.
And, too, we have known some• ani-
tnals who show a lot more intelligence
than some humans we have met!
So the animals are our friends it we
evi11 permit them to be so, and it is our
duty to prokeet them as muck as we
can.
For this •reason Scouts are taught
that they should not hunt just for the
sake of killing, but only for the pur-
tose of obtaining food. That they
sthould not, destroy birds' nests, or take
their eggs. 'A very.mnch- better idea.,
and one which provides a lot more
fun, and is incidentally more difficult
end requires a greater, knowledge of
he art of "stalking" (at which every
;Scout should be proficient), is to
'•'hunt" birds and animals with a. catu-
era, and keep your collection of tro-
phies in. a snap -shot album!
So, Lonies, always be a friend to
animals, and when you hear someone
discoursing on the uselessness or bad-
ltess of a certain animal, you can al-
ways find something' good about it, if
you think a moment.
New Prairie Pheasants Thrive
Some little time ago a number" of
biongo]ian and Ring-necked pheasants
were distributed in Southern Alberta,
Cttd Calgary Scouts have been watch-
ing for them on their 'various hikes.
The Scouts have been able to report
'to the Fish and Game Association that
the birds are in fine condition, and apt
parently finding suitable food in the
kine-kinik and Juniper •berries and
grain Welted -up in the stubble fields':
A report has also been received that
those pheasants liberated in the Glen -
more die, rict which were distributed
by the clearing of timber and bush for
the new reservoir have found refuge
along the Elbow River and Fish Creek,
00 the Sarcee Reserve.
Junior Forest Wardens
A suggestion has been placed before
the Dominion headquarters of the Boy
Scoots Association that the Lone
Scouts throughout Canada should co-
operate with the Forestry Association
by undertaking the duties of Junior
+'Wrest Wardens.
The ditties of these Wardens are to
boost the protection of forests and
• trees, and' to encourage the planting
6f trees in suitable spots, for reforesta-
tion, wind breaks, etc., to help iu the
location and extinguishing of forest
fires, and to assist in the prevention of
these fires, by the supervision of catun-
ing sites where hikers and campers
are liable to cause a fire through neg-
lect.
In addition to this the Wardens b.
serest themselves iti the preservation
of wild life, fish and animals, in their'
locality.
Mach Warden is given a certifleate
end a badge of office, and further par-
ticulars will be circulated to the
Lonies at a later •date.
Hospital Operation Removes Gloom
A new and successful operation. for
the removal of gloom was receatly per -
brined at the Red Cross Children's
]Hospital, Calgary, No anaesthetic was
lased. The patient, in a sun -treatment
loincloth, was placed in a circle of his
fellows and received on his breast the
enk•stamped outline of a. wolf cab's
head—the emblem of the Juulor Boy
Scouts, which he lead just joined.
There was nothing to which to pia the
badge, hence the "tattooing." Scout
units are now adjuncts of most of our
children's hospitals, for the value of
the cheery "scouting atmosphere,"

liernonucrems—Jacob was the third
of the patriarchs, and, like Abraham
and Isaac, was regarded as a na-
tional hero. To us it May •seam
strange that the people of Israel
found in Jacob .one of their ideate.
He was cunning, selfish and always
had his eye on the main chance. We -
ions considerations, however, should
be kept in mind. For one thing Jacob
was not a. Christian, and it is unfair
to measure him by Christian stand-
ards. He was a primitive nomad,
though touched by the spirit of .God,
and destined to serve God's purpose,
Seine of his own -countrymen, especial-
ly in later generations, were aware of
his grave defects, See- Hosea, 'hap.
12. Paul also was so conscious of his
shortcomings that he drew the con-
e''asion that God chose hies for some
other reason than that of human
merit, Romans 9: 10-14. It is just
possible, therefore, that the Israelite
people regarded Jacob as a -national
type in which they saw their own
character reflected, rather than as an
example always to be followed. 'Cris
character stands in strong contrast
to that of Esau. The two brothers are
presented as rivals. The Bible never
glosses over the fact that even bro-
thers, springing from the same par-
ents, may be divided by bitterest strife
where one would expect only love.
Such rivalry is weirdly fascinating
because it is so true to life.
L CONTRASTED TYPES. vs. 27, 28.
'Jacob and Esau chose different oc-
cupations. Their choice revealed at
the outset the natural .bent of their
dispositions, which their vocations,
once chosen, tended to confirm. Esau
was a hunter; Jacob was a shepherd.
Jacob is called' a "plain" ratan; the
Hebrew word here suggests that his
was a settled mode of Iife. Esau
loved the open spaces, with the exhil-
aration of the chase; Jacob preferred
his tent, and his flocsk and herds. The
hunter slays the animals which he
takes in the chase; the shepherd
keeps and tends his animals. The
hunter often comes home exhausted,
and unsuccessful in the hunt; the
shepherd has always something to
eat. If the hunter has enough to eat
today, he does not think of tomorrow
and its needs; the shepherd is accus-
tomed to think not only of today, 'but
of tomorrow, and of the day after.
Thus Esau's decision to sell his birth.
right (vs. 32, 33) was simply the cont -
pression of his node of Iife into a
r:ngle act.
II, A FOOLISII BARGAIN, VS. 29-33.
The figure of Esau, the hunter, re-
turning home tired and hungry, and
ready to seize the nearest food at
hand, is depicted with Treat dranta'ic
power. He points to the dish prepar-
ed by Jacob, and asks for "the red,
the red --this here," and in asking for
it he indicates that he .is ready t;t
"swallow" it. Why doesn't'he call the
dish by its name—lentils? Because in
his great impatience he does not take
the time to examine the contents of
the dish; he merely notices its red
color. Its the Hebrew there is at this
point a clever word -play. The Hs
brew word for "red" is "adorn";
Esau's other name is Edom, and he is
regarded as the father of the Edom-
ites, 86: 8. 19. Esau is all impulse,

"Behold, I am going• to die!" Jacob,

seeing. He uses the situation for his
own advantage. He thinks of the day
when his father will die and Esau will
become the head of the house through
the law of the birthright. According
to the Hebrew view, the firstborn,
whether of • man of of •animals, was
the finest of the offspring.• Preferen^e

into the father's place. ' He beanie
the lord of his brothers; they paid
him rsuth homage as was fitting to his
position, 27: 29. Esau's is; therefore,
a great ..dvantage. But Jacob now

less, Esau's decision to part with his
birthright is ultimately Ms own re-
sponsibility. Jace" insists upon rati-
fying the bargain with an oath. For
it is characteristic of the crafty man,
that he does not readily trust otlan
men. When Esau gives his oath, the•
bargain is closed for good and all. He
has renounced for all time his claire
to the birthright.
111. A PROFANE PERSON, V. 34.
The scene closes with Esau in a
jaunty, light-hearted stood. He has
eaten and drunk.. His appetite is sat-
isfied and he is well content. The
writer .f the Epistle to the Hebrews
(12: 16) calls hint a "profane person."
The late A. B. Davidson says of hitt.:
"Passionate, impatient, impulsive, in-
capable of looking before him, refes-
ing to estimate the worth of anything
• rhich does not immediately appeal to
bis senses, preferring the animal to
the spiritual, he is rightly called a
`profane perso.t'." There does not
seem to be much choice between the
two brothers, for in this incident bosh
have played an unworthy part. "Deep
rtilections," says MacFadyen, "con-
vinces us that Jacob is essentially the i
' gger titan of the two, and that in 1
ltim there are larger possibilities for
good. Esau is the creature , of the

taking long views; Jacob can take the

Women of To -day Successfullyfight
Cancer of Breast Menace
,`here is no better sign of the aver-
age high intelligence of the women of
thie country and no . better evidence
of the value of publicity of cornet
information in the daily press than
the change that has taken place in the
status of cancer of the breast today as
compared with t..irty years before in
the decade between 1800 and 1900,
Before 1900 and since 1890 the
operative treatment for cancer of the
breast was perfected, Yet, during
that decade, in the best clinics of civil-
ized countries throughout the world
the actual incidence of cancer among
every Hundred women entering the
.0111C -complaining of some trouble in
the breast was eighty, Today in a
.number of clinics in this country, in
localities -where there has been public-
ity through the daily press for seven-
teen years,• the incidence of cancer
has fallen from eighty to seventeen,
the hopeless cases of cancer from
mare than fifty to less than five per
cent., and the actual five year cures
have risen from less than ten to more
than sixty per cent. This tremendous
change for the better has nothing to
do 'with the improvement in surgery
or the advent of radiation (x-ray or
radium) . But it cannot be accomplish-
ed unless the diagnosis, the surgery
and the irradiation are of the best
that can be obtained anywhere.
The enlightened woman should have
no fear of cancer of the breast, if she
reports for an examination the mo-
ment she observed anything unusual
in the breast or nipple, or in the re-
gion of the armpit or axilla. 1t is
safer to pay attention to anything un-
usual, no matter how insignificant—
pain without a lump, a lump without
pain, any change in the nipple, any
irritation, any discharge front the
nipple, pulling in of the nipple, any-
thing that can be felt in the breast,
like a cake, or something that could
not be felt before; any lump under the
armpit. Go et once to your family
physician and request a thorough ex -
:Intimation. If you are properly edu-
cated, you will have selected your
medical adviser, your breast will have
been examined at the last periodic ex-
amination and your personal physi-
cian will be familiar with the normal
condition of your breast. Its a large
number of cases of this kind your se•
leered family physician will be able tit
srecis.e that the eondition of the breast
which has attracted your attention,
Iia no:relation to cancer, and, except
for irritations of the nipple, no treat-
ment is necessary. Ina certain por-
t` -an of the eases the general practi-
tioner,
ractitioner, after examining your breast.
will .decide that it is safer for you to
be studied by a specialist. In a group
of one hundred women who seek an
examination the moment they ate
'warned and, after being examined by
one or both doctors, the chances are
that seventy-five per cent or more will
require no operation or irradiation,
From. the standpoint of greatest safe-
ty and protection, a number will be re-
quested to return for a second exam-
ination, Among this enlightened group
of women properly examined, in about
twenty-five per cent.. there will be a
definite lump and a simple operation
in a hospital will become necessary.'
In lumps of this kind it is impossible
to detect the presence of cancer by
any method of examination previous
to operation. Do not consent to any:
form of blood test for cancer or pre-,
liminaiy treatment with any serums'
for protection against cancer, Your
surgeon should tell you before the
operation that there are just two'
kinds of lumps. In one you remove'
the lump only and save the breast. Its
the other you remove the breast by
the complete operation as the best'
protection against a return and the
best assurance of a permanent curt..
In addition, in some instances it is a
good plan after operation to have
protective irradiation with x-rays or
radium.
Women who have borne children
should be best protected, because they
will become familiar with the value of
periodic examination before and after
the birth of their children. They will
be instructed as to the absolute neces-
sity for protection against cancer of
the cervix to submit to periodic pelvic
examinations, and at this tune the
physician should examine the breasts
and give them the correct information
that every woman should have about
the care of her breast and nipples.
Publicity in regard to the breast,
the skin and the mouth is giving evi-
dence of its value in many of the clin-
les of this country today, and is the
chief reason for these articles.

Oak Tree 1,200 Years Old
Douen,--An unusual oak tree, cote"
taiuing two chapels within its huge
trunk, wil celebrate its 1,200th year of
existence on July 2, at the village of
Allouville-Belefesse, near here. Niue
Wien with their ..ems extended are
barely able to encircle the base of the
tree. Of course, its exact age is lost
in the mists of history, but experts de-
clare it Hurst be approximately 1.200
years old.
In the first chapel is e statue of the'
Virgin presented by the Empress
1•,ugenie during the Second French
Empire. Au elegant wooden stairway
surrounds the oak and leads to the
second chapel which is known as Le
Chapelle du Calvaire. It is related
that the tree was visited by Charles
IL of England, and also by Louis XV.
