Many of us did not realize what this meant, but since we have found out that if a Scout Group loses its charter everything they own is taken away from them. Surely we do not want this to happen in Zurich. In order to keep a Scout Troop functioning properly it takes an active group committee, and seemingly the committee in Zurich was very lax. However, a public meeting was held last Tuesday night in the interests of Scouting, and a new committee was appointed to take over the job. We are quite sure that such an active group as was appointed at that time will be staging an all-out campaign to revive the Boy Scouts. Most of all, however, the committee needs the support of all the citizens in the community. If you have children of scouting age, send them out to the meetings. They will be more than welcome. When the Scouts hold a paper drive, an Apple Day, or any other activity, give it your full support, and we are sure this community will be able to boast of a strong and active Boy Scout Troop in no time at all. Let's give the Boy Scouts our full support. They are worthy of it. NEEDING A NIPPING (Adapted from Grenfell Sun, Grenfell, Sask.) REPORTS of senseless, often shocking acts of destruction for destruction's sake are featured in the weekly and daily press from time to time. The village of Zurich has been remarkably free of vandalism the past few years and when we read of destruction happening in other communities, the feeling we have is "It's good nothing like that happens here." But it has happened here, to town property, big enough, bad enough that it can't go ignored. Because most vandalism is likely the work of young people parents throughout town should remind themselves they are responsible for their children's behaviour, especially during the after -dark hours. Da you, as a parent, know where your children are, what they are doing when they go out after supper? Aimless wandering down town or out "with the gang" may seem harmless enough but often leads to petty delinquency which can suddenly explode into bigger acts of vandalism. If your son and daughter have •no actual place to visit, no club or group to attend, then the place for them after dark is their home. Home- work, hobbies or having friends in should more than fill those after -supper hours . . . and there's always television. With Hallowe'en coming up, a few parental lectures on respect for other people's property might not come amiss. And let the behaviour of parents be not wanting when it conies to other people's property. Their own behaviour in cafes, theatres and other public places should more than give the youngsters an idea on how to treat others' property. "How Can1t,, Q. How can I drop liquid from a. bottle wiitthout .the use of a dropper? A. Dip the finger in water and moisten the dm of ,the bottle in one plate. If this, place is used Treem which to drop the liquid, it will drop evenly and easily. Q. How can. I dlean white vel- vet? A. ,Sponge with a commercial moaner, always rubbing en the dir- ection of the map. Then stretch nght side up over a bowl of hot water and brush the nap vwi;th a soft brush. Q. How can I fry oysters prop- erly? A. When frying ,oysters, first wash and :draiiin; than. Season with salt and pepper, dip in fllour, egg, .and then cracker crumbs. Fry ,until golden heaven lin hot fat, then drain well and garnish wth h parsley or lemon. Q. How can I snake the elastic urn, gaiters ,last longer? A. Instead of sewing the ends of garters together, eut the elastic about tWo tindhes shorter than or- dinarily, sew a piece of ribbon iter each end, and tie the bow wheal putting on.

Smiley) ]lt seems to me that the world's scientists 'are,behaving like a bunch of juvenile deli,quen:ts loose 'in a 'Chemistry laboratory. Either they've lost eight of the Wnrda- nventals of diiife, or they've been reading too many stcience-ificrt on stories. a: :n ,k Scientiists used to be olid, but ,useful people. who coneinled their activities to increasing mane's knowti:edige of himself and the world !about helm. They nnumided ,their own business. They pottered 'about with tihei2 bbitts of wire, theiir rocks and plaints., their electrodes, sand 'their floraitulae. Sometimes they came up with something use- ful, elke the wheel, the egg -beater, a vtaccine against smallpox, or a cure for .consttiepabion. k k * In those days; they didn't con- stitute a danger to society because they ntever had mvudli money, so their aotivilties were restrained to 'comparatiwelly harmless, i!f inter- esting research. Nowadays, With vast suns at titer disposal, they resemble nothing more than gangs or hot rodders hurtling 'about, elat- ing each ,other to go faster and take more chances, yellling "chick- en" tat e!adh other. * * * Take this, shot at the moon., now. What dill the moon- ever do to, us, that we want tro. start fiirfng rock- ets. at et? If the madmen of the labtoratorie5 are allowed 'to con- tinue, levers will be plighting their troth: under a man in the moan, with a bilg, ,tat hole do 'his head. $ :t :& And what 'about ,our 'popular songs?. If they ,hitt the moon with one orf those contraptions, can you imagine yourself sitting around the campfire arta weenie roast, singinlg: "Shine On, Harvest Cra- ter -:Pilled Body Emanating Gas- eaus Substances", or something of the sort? • :t * It's all very well to haled these liatesit :exhibitionistic efforts df the scientists as tremendous strides on the stare Of man's progress. But mean might be a Lott better off itf he went downstairs and cleaned up. hits cellar ibetfiore he sitants going ups!trairrs to maks a mess in, the antic. a: :r t: Mind you, I'm not against science. I took it in school once, Pistils! and stamens and H2SO4 and litmus !paper :and all that stufff. I have a very sound scien- tific ,background. But I think the scientists have gone a little hay- wire. Muioking about with missiles in what was. previously a well -or- dered universe is Tike seeing how many holes you ,can Nast in a big dam before it (rumbles. Or pike crossing a rattlesnake and rabbits, just to see 'what you'll get. :t, 1: * Right here on earth. we have enough; trouble and human misery and appalling ignorance to keep us and our children and our children's children occupied for amlotihier 500 years, trying to 'cont things out. We are 'barely scratching the' sur- face of man's knowledge of him- seIif. Why not turn aifl these in- candesicent-bmaine,d scientists to work on our own woes, before wee start horsing around in outer space? 'lc Oh, I know, I know. If we don't d!o it the Rueseseians might ,get there 'first. Welil, I say let them go to. dtt. If some thick -heeded teem -ager in town wants to go swimming on the ifirst of March, does Chart mean I have to go too, even though I'm Modern Etiquette Q. ;Should garage employees and service station attendants be tipp- ed?

To settlle discussion we had recently, well you, please ;belt me just what are the purposes of a dinner napkin? A. To wipe the fps before driink- ing from; the water gllass, so that the egllkusss wilds tnot be smeared; and tao wipe the fingers. Q.

Yes; a wird ,may be used dor an invitation vi nation to a tee, to meet a guest, an informal dance, or a bride Pani still suffering from a dreadtlul cold?
