S Phone 77M Under the care of Scout Masters who have in turn been Cubs and Scouts, boys are helped to deveIOp in a manner that brings joy, happiness and selfâ€"reliance to themselves and pleasurable carefree thoughts to their parents. Boy 'Scout work is making a real worthwhile contribution to good Canadian citizenship, and well merits our support. The money now being asked for will be used to erect permanent buildings and buy equipment, in fact to make the site suitable for all} year camping. There is a great need to-day for agencies to give leader- ship in youth training and guidance. The aim is to de- velop boys to young manhood in a clean,virile manner, to keep them gainfully occupied and ofi the street corners. No one is better able to do this important job in every community than the Boy Scouts. In every community it is fortunate there are boosters, those good people always ready and willing to support a worthwhile cause and pull their full weight in every com- munity project, There also are those who would rather “talk down” projects. find fault with thosewho try to do things and in general the things that can be accomplished right at home. A recent digest of the famous lecture “Acres of Diam- onds” by Russell H. Conwell pointed out that this lecture which in all was given more than six thousand times and heard by more than eight million people had a humble be- ginning as a talk'given at a soldiers’ re-union. As a re~ sult of that lecture much inspiration was given to millions and moreover more than ten thousand boys received a col- lege education through Conwell’s amazing efforts. Russell Conwell himself tasted bitter poverty in his early years ~,poverty he never forgot -â€" but by hard work and thrift he managed to send himself to college later becoming an officer in the Union Army. During a violent battle his aide gave his 'life to save Russell’s sword. Con- well vowed then he would work sixteen hours a day there- after -â€" eight for himself and eight for his aide, Johnnie. He never broke that vow. Acres of Diamonds made him famous but the more fam- ous he became the humbler he grew and the harder he worked to helprhis fellowmen. The lecture which made him so famous was simply the telling of several stories to emphasize basic truths which always have and always will apply to our successes and failures. He referred to the Persian farmer who was. conâ€" tented because he was wealthy and was wealthy because he was contented. But on hearing of diamonds in a river that runs through white sands between high mountains he became discontented and sold his farm, to seek greater wealth in diamonds- After many failures, he had suffered such defeat thathe could not resist the temptation to throw himself into the sea. ‘His own farm later produced many millions of diamonds. Then there was the man who sold his farm tol'ea‘rn the oil business only to find out later that the purchaser had discovered oil on the farm worth a thousand million dollars to the state. And so on, storâ€" ies of men seeking afar for that which they had at their doors. _ l W‘IMWWF Having in mind the several undertakings of this and other communities throughout the district, we repeat the concluding paragraphsof the famous lecture: . , s The York Central Boy Scouts Association are com- mencing a drive to raise $7,500. to equip a permanent Boy Scout Camp. A very desirable camp site north of Orangeville has beelrdongted. It consists of twelve acres of land admirably“‘s‘uifed for boy scout work, sufficiently well wooded to give the boys the training they love, and a stream on which a swimming pool will be constructed. “But let me hasten to one greater thought. Show me the great men and women who live in your city.” A gen- tleman over there will get up and say: “We don‘t have any great men in our city. They don’t live here. They live away off in Rome, Paris, London, or any place but here.”‘ I have come now to the apex of my thought, to the heart of the whole matter and to the centre of my struggle. There is only one answer, and that is because people talk down their own city. If we are to have a boulevard, "talk it down; if we ’are going to have better schools. talk them down; if you wish to have wise legislation, talk it down, talk all the proposed improvements down. Real community spirit isxcreated by teamwork among citizens who love their neighbours and their town; who give inspired leadership because they themselves are God- led and therefore have the courage to fight for what is right.

Are Wézliving on what we have received, “01‘ can we‘ care for our com- munity like our forefathers building for the futu_1'e? the world as the people of other great cmes do. To be greatvat all, one must be great here, now, in your city.’ He Who can give to this city better streets and bet- ter sidewa‘lksfibetter schools; and more ‘colleges, more hap- piness and mOre civilization, more of God, he will be great everywhere. In their own lives, such men" put' God first â€"â€" building a church by the sweat of their bodies and out of the proâ€" duce of their own soil. Then they. built good schools and good roads. They were leaders because they cared more for the welfare of their community than they did for their own comfort or profit. As the years went by, they press- ed to have the Village incorporated; they advocated a pub- lic library, they. supported the localjneWSpaper and they organized a CountylgFair. ‘ - Let every man or woman here, if you never hear~me again,_ remember this: if you wish to be great at all, you must begin where you are and what you are. in your city toâ€"day.” - ' .9 “What makes Community Spirit ?” asks the Kemptville Advance. This is an important question because undoub- tedly many of the great worthwhile achievements have resulted from a sense of local pride and community spirit. Many a Canadian town got off to a good start in’pioneer days. because of the influence of a few such citizengs. Men who, because their own home life was sound. knew how to care for their neighbours and their town. They were able to judge between right and wrong and were therefore clear-sighted and impartial in the} adminstration of public affairs.
