Zurich Herald, 1932-01-07, Page 6TTy1TIvvvvv TF Graduation This week we have to record the for- mation of two more new regular Troops, .one at Fenlon Valls and one at Portsmout'b, which have been formed as the direct result of Lone Scout activity. These two now bring the total num- ber of Troops founded by Lonies up to twelve, which is a splendid record for the two and a half years that Lone Scouting has been organized- in On- tario. At Fenelon Falls Patrol Leader Douglas Warren, by his enthusiasm and tenacity has been responsible for the formation of the lst Fenelon Falls Troop, and he has brought his father into the movement as the new Scout- master We are sorry to lose the Portsmouth "Bulldogs" from the Lone Scouts, as they are members of the original group who formed the first Lone Scout Troop in this province, and they have hung together through "Thick and Thin" for three years and have done most excellent work. In this centre the leader was Patrol Leader John Meers, who has now brought his brother in to be Scoutmastert of John the let Portsmouth Troop, takes the position of Assistant Scout Master. Scout Headquarters, from where they Were forwarded to their new owners, and several who had neither toys or time sent contributions of money. Taken all round it was a splendid "Good Turn" and quite up to Lone Scout Standard. Santa Claus and Fairies Although it is a well recognized fact that all Canadian Scouts believe in Santa Claus, we are not quite sure what their attitude is on the question of Fairies. However, we have some iuteresting information on this subject from Aus- tralia, as the following will show: Lord Somers, retiring Governor of Victoria, told Australian Scouts that he thought lie still believed in fairies when alone in the bush. "I could see a queer hole in a tree whre some old goblin might live; and at night I used to wonder whether the fairies came out to play." Lord Somers frequently led parties of Victorian Boy Scouts on es O S hikes E everal days in the bush. "Good Turn" and Its Reward All Scouts are expected to perform High Seas in Mid Atlantic san When the north Atlantic waves are whipped to cold green fury, by the gale, this expanse of sea, known to mariners as the western ocean, surpasses anything else Neptune has to offer. This is a view from a liner during a recent gale when great ships were delayed 2 4 hours and beaten froth their course. i' A South Africa and N Figure Reached at least one "Good Turn" every day all Infant Mortality the Gold Standard In Tobacco Prod Declining in Gape Argus.—It is unfortunateBache has made a new record this Correspondence Educational We congratulate these Lonies on their "graduation," and whilst we are sorry to se them leave the ranks of the Lone Scouts, we know that they will find larger scope and new fields of ac- tivity in the troops which they have organized. Canada on the "Toy Standard" Quebec Leads In Population Gain. B.C. Highest ..Percentage ln- crease—Only °Two Prov- inces Si Decrease The largest ab elite gain in PoPUIa• tion during Oanada'e past ten years was made by Quebec. British Columbia made the largest percentage gain. This is revealed by the 1931 cen- sus, the preliminary figures of which give Canada a total on of 10a 358,778. The actual increases in all the provinces is 1,565,829, and the whole percentage increase is 17.82. All provinces • show increases except ing Prince Edward Island, which re, cords a minus of 575, and Nova Sco- tia, recording a minus of 11,810. The Toronto Globe finds that the rate of population growth in Ontario has been well maintained during the past decade. Of the eighty-two eiec- toral districts in the province, it ap• pears that all but twenty-five • show an increase. The larger increases have been, of course, in the districts with city population, and this dai1s continues: "Northern Ontario shows numerous advances, especially in important min ing camps.
