The Exeter Times, 1923-4-19, Page 7Chief Scout Gives Wireless Mesoage. When, the Chief Scout, Sir Robert Baden-Powell, was in Ottawa recently, he dellyereci -a special Message from the Government Radio Broadcasting Station and it was pricked up by many amateur radio, throughout Eastern Canada. • The message -was as follows. "T1i Speaker of the House of Com- mons at Ottawa said on March 28th, 'I should liketo see e'Very': Canadian', boy a Boy Scout, learn.i.ng,to'become a trite sportsman and oto lead a clean life.' "Now there's a suggestion from one of your leading Canadian statesmen for every one of you boys to follow. "If you join the Boy Scouts as he Suggests you become a member Of • a jolly, cheery brotherhood 'of young backwoodsmen --strong and. hefty,' able to turn their hands to any job, with the pluck and energy to carry it through. "They don't worry about themselves,- bat biemselves,bn't do their best to help other people in ,any way „they can. "They are the Lads who are going to make" Canada big and prosperous, and a .power among the nations. "This is the noble jab' in .which each of you, although you may be only a boy, can lend a hand. "Coins along._ y.., Bea s ortsman and > .p try' it by joining up with the nearest Scout' Troop. "if you have nb Troop near you you can .be registered as a Lone Scout, l that is, a fellow carrying out all the,' Scout ideas by himself and 'so being able to win the badges which a Scout `gets for doing well. "By being a. Scout you will give yo srsel+f a good time, but what is much more;,you will be doing your bit for this great Canada of yours,.", Three "Old Scouts" Decorated. During his visit •to Ontario, Sir Robert . Baden-Powell conferred upon three of the leaders of Canadian Scout- ing z>�out- g membership in the Boy Scout Or- der of the Silver' Wolf. They were Dr. Franklin H. Gisborne, Mr. Gilbert L. Fauqu'ier and,Dr. James W. Robert - 60i. The ,presentation of the insigna- to Dr. Gisborne and Mr. Fauquier 'took place at the Annual, Meeting of the Canadian General Council which was head : in the big • Railway Committee Rooni of the Parliament rho merit Buifidings, Ot- tawa, on March 28th. Dr. Gisborne is the Chairman of the Dominion Medal- Board, the special committee which passes on all appli- cations for awards for life saving and other meritorious actions by Scouts. In •accepting his clecoratio ; Tir. Gis- •.borne said, "Had this been recom nienrded in the ordinary way I would have felt duty bound to have rejected the recommendation.Howwever, com- ing this way I am not even; accorded that opportunity. , Mr. Gilbert E. Fauquier is a member of the Executive Committee . of the Provincial Council for Ontario and a former President of the Council itself. Ile is also a member of the Executive committee of the Canadian' General Council and devotes -his special atten- tion to the. work of the Committee -on Scout Supplies. Through his 'efforts Scouting in Canada bas now one of tele finest stores departments to be found anywhere, giving a service which has won for itthe praise of -Scouts and Scout leaders from; allover the Do-_ nlin.on! Dr, James V. Robertson is Canada's Chief Scout Coimnissioner. Sir Robert presented him with the Silver Wolf at an assemblyof Scouts inOttawa on Saturday, March 31st During, the pro- ceedings someone in the vast audience called for cheers for Dr. Robertson and. the- response was immediate and long and lusty, as ' only a thousand boyish voices can, make it. Before the applause had subsided, Sir Robert took off his. own Silver Wolf and placed it around: the doctor''s neck=* an action which was but a signal for ain even greater demonstration in re- cognition -of the wonderful • services the Chief Commissioner has given to Scouting in Canada, The Garden War.

MIDDLETON • Provincial Board of Health, Ontario Dr. 1liddlieton will be glad to answer questions on Public Health mat. tern' through this column, Address him at Spading House, Bpadina Crescent, Toronto. A striking statement --one that pro- subject of Child Welfare appears to vides food for thought—was made ,be much in evidence in high places. recently, by Rev. Dr. E. I. Hart, pastor Up till a very few year ago the of Sherbrooke Street Methodist Dominion Government had not voted Church,Montreal.

Can this be true? Is it a fact that there are to -day politicians in the public life of Canada who care not for the welfare of those who have not a best settler this or any country can vote to cast at an election? It is hard hope to have—tlienative-born child. to think that such a state of affairs All over this province at the present Could , exist, and yet indifference to the time there is a crying need for child welfare l - work. The infant mortalit vo Y in many sections of this province is deplorably high -in one or two places it has mounted up to over 200 deaths per 1,000 births. Just :think what this, means! Two babies out of every ten born never reach the first year of life, a b S, methinm must be done•.ta reduce 'this awful wastage of human life, for it can be reduced. It hasbeen•. reduced in othercountries, it can be reduced in Canada. Public Health Education is gradually forging its way .into the homes and hearts of the people, for it is only by education thatrthe people can know how to reduce the death rate among infants, how they can have thelarge percentage of physical de- fects corrected in young children, thus paving the way for a healthier man- hood andwomanhood in the genera- tions to come. The principles of hy- giene must be taught in 'the home, in the schools, .in the lecture hall—any- where that people can hear. The com- munity nurse, the public lecture, the inovhigpicture, the Child Welfare Clinic, the -health article in the news paper, the display poster in, pointing out the way to health—all must be commandeered and put into active service if a real effectivecam- paign for child welfare is to hope for success. in bringing emigrants to this coun- try from Central Europe, many of whom were not the most desirable e was and yet not a penny w s voted for the care and improvement of the everyi.,or Iraq habit to,shinewith Shoe Polls es TN hours of hard, hot toil- you are paying for it ---in health -in time stolen from pleasanter things— In the' Walker Electric.

A .French-s'aten,tist finds in tb,e great depths of the Arctic Ocean an area- a I meat tending to. show .that the• earth is ;'slightly . topshapod, the protuberance corresponding to the poizit of tt-e top being at the South Pole. This, he. thinks,' would explain _the- different re - salts ' arrived at by the various mea- surements of astronomers and geo- detists. The differences are very aurall in comparison with .the entire bulk of the globe, yet'' they are readily. appreciable, and op.0 of the ' explana- tions -that xplanations-that' has been suggested for them is that the, earth is tetrahedral in form. ;But the Frenchman thinks the topshlape theory ,is: preferable.
