BOOST THE BOY SCOUTS
APPARENTLY the Boy Scout situation in Zurich was at
a very critical point, in fact so much so that officials in charge
were seriously considering taking away their charter. 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,,

a. bottle wiitthout .the use of a

SUGAR and SPICE
(By W. (Bill) B. T. 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-

Mind you, I'm not against
science. I took it in school once,
Pistils! and stamens and H2SO4
