Gardner Two years ago a brief announ- cement appeared to the effect that “A Scout Jamboree-Indaba- Moot will be held in England in August. 1957, for the purpose of commemorating the founding of Scouting in 1907. and the anniv- ersary of the birth of its founder, Lord Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell of Gilwell." To misquote that master of the Eng- lish language, never in the field of Scouting endeavour have so few words meant so much to so many Scouts, Scouters and friends of Scouting. When asked “why Jamboree?” B.P. is reported to have replied “What else could you call it?" “Indaba” means “The gathering of the chiefs” and “Moot” means “The meeting of young men in conference on community inter- ests", thus the synonym of the 1957 Jubilee Jamboree became “J.I.M.” and from August first to twelfth of this year, the beau- tiful and historic Sutton Cold- field Park of some 2400 acres was the common meeting ground for Scouts, Rovers and Scouters from all corners of the world, the most distant possibly from the Cook Islands about sixteen thousand miles via New Zealand, and large contingents from far off Australia. New Zealand, Japan, China, Africa..South America. to name but a few: Six countries, Hungary, Russia, Lithuania, Lat- via, Estonia and the Ukraine were represented by limited groups of Scouts in exile whose flags flew proudly from a single mast. Our own large Canadian contingent of approximately 1500 were much in evidence, proud of the large crimson maple leaf on‘ tl.e point of their dark green neckerchiefs, which item incidenâ€" tly represented high value in the swapping market. Millions of words have and will be written about this outstanding event, and thousands of pictures, radio and T.V. coverage have tried to give to readers and lis- teners some impression of those memorable days but the most skil- ful pens and photographic artis- try would find the task almost impossible to record its complete story. This writer was one of those who were fortunate in at- tending the Indaba and armed with high hopes and resolution to “get the whole story" found her- self taken back to many many years ago when as a small girl on s: first visit to hte circus, cried a first visit to hte circus, cried out in frustration “make them stop until I can see." This, of necessity, can cover only the im- pressfons seen through the eyes and etched on the memory of one individual. 4 This story should throughout convey a tribute, not only to the spirit of Scouting which inspired its creation but to those whose organization and sheer hard work made it possible. Sutton Park, a gem of English natural parkland of woods and moor, streams and small lakes. in pre-Jamboree days presented a haven of peace and relaxation for the villagers whose homes surround it; in the short space of two years without spoil- ing the natural beauty for poster- ity, it had to be converted into the locations for three separate tented villages whose temporary tenants must find the necessary conveniences for complete living; water available at the touch ev- erywhere; wash, shower and toil- et tents installed and serviced; space allocated for sleeping, eat- ing and cooking tents; arena space with covered and open pd HARRIS For FUEL OIL STOVE OIL AV.5-3359 jAe u/Or/c! $005; juél/ee ASSURANCE COMPANY SUN LIFE OF CANADA DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS MAN?

The problems attendant upon an undertaking of this size would b'. enough to daunt the most res- olute heart, but without a doubt the challenge was magnificently met and successfully carried out by the tenacity, persistence and patience of determined Scouters from Imperial Headquarters. Midland Headquarters, B. . P. Guild, and Commissioners assist- ed by Rovers and Senior Scouts who for many long and weary months devoted their holidays and weekends to this project. What of the contribution of time and effort made by such bodies as the Warwickshire police and fire- men who stood duty at the Jam- boree in their off duty hours and holidays? and what of the contri- bution made by the people of Sutton Coldficld in welcoming and encouraging this invasion with the inevitable “wear and tear" that must result to their royal gift? 'This then was the giant can- vas upon which Scouting was to paint such an impressive picture: first the colours in the flags of all nations which flew from their lof- ty poles lining avenues of ap- proach and exit; in the hundreds of artistic and skilfully executed; gateways to the spacious sub- camps. troop sites, and patrol tents: in the blue-eyed, fair skin- ned, figures of the Scandinavians and Swiss; the soft tans and browns of the Asiatic and West Indies; the rich black of the Afri- can; and the neutral shades of the American, British, Canadian and like contingents; in the many and varied uniforms, the bright crimson jackets of the American viovers, the soft heather shades of the Irish and Scottish tartan kilts (positively the highest value on the swop market!), the white and pale blue caps and necker- chiefs of the Finnish and the deep Sherwood green of the Can- adian ‘shirts. But this picture was also drawn in sound â€"- grand, glorious and thrilling sound made by thous- ands and thousands of voices singing under every imaginable circumstance â€" which was the most unforgettable? was it heard at the religious services as Scouts one and all, each in his own way, re-afiirmed that important por- tion of the Scout Promise; was it heard on the many occasions when marching to and from the arena singing the now famous Jubilee Jamboree song, the chor- us of which is: Jamboree (clap, clap) Jamboree (clap, clap) Come give three hearty cheers, And we’ll march along together Another fifty years. Did it come from the bands? The small national groups from which was heard the soft bass notes of the African animal horn instruments, the rhy\thmic sharp notes of the steel drums, the haunting stirring wail\\of the bag- pipes right through file musical range to the full expression of the visiting regimental bands? Was it in the Indaba discussion periods when Cub and Scout leaâ€" ders gathered to express them- selves freely on problems which all understood and shared? Was it in the clear notes of the bugles calling that day had begun, call- in; for flag break, calling for flag down at evening? Or was it heard in the prevailing undertone of voices. voices everywhere, voices that shouted and cheered, chat- tered and whispered, in twos, threes and dozens for which, when silenced by language bar- riers, hands and eyes substituted? put into this picture by Scouting was action. The action of thous- ands of patrols of Scouts and leaders going about doing nec- ing, cutting firewood, building essary mundane chores of camp- ing, cutting lrewood, building fires, getting rations, preparing meals, clearing up. Action shown in spectacular displays performed each afternoon in the extensxve ‘arena by the various national ‘groups dancing, singing, Scout- craft and drama; who will ever forget the amazing achievement of the British Scouts in dramatiz- ing the life of our founder, in which the part of B.P. as a boy was played by his nephew Mich- ael King, and as a man by his eldest son, the present Lord Ba- den-Powell, now Guildmaster of the B.P. Guild. The male of this great dramatization was one of the unforgettable moments. B.P. stood on a circular dais ringed by thousands of Scouts with their colours and symbols of previous jamborees, quietly he called to him 3 Scout and an Air Scout to join him on the dais: stood before them. saluted, and in an awesome silence broken only by the beat of a muffled drum. he walked slowly down through the throng of Scouts and out of the arena while, thrugh the miracle of re- cording, the voice of the revered the B.P. Guild. The finale of this age, "I want to send you a part- ing word of goodbye . . . . .” It would not be too much to say there was not a dry eye among the thousands who watched this scene.

All these and many more were to be seen on Wednesday evening. October 30, at the home of Mrs. A.

Mrs. McFee had her home decorated with bats, skeletons, pumpkins, black cats. and even an odd ghost flited through the rooms from time to time. Carman Miranda ran out of fruit and had to substitute flow- ers and tinker toys. Marg. Peter- sen "had a secret". A new place to hide her “mad money.” That cute cigarette girl was our own Vi Gamble.

It's Kay McDowell. If there had been a prize surely Kay would have taken it. The big hit of the evening was the reading of “Meet Mr. Smith,” by Mrs. Elsie Morris. ably assist- ed by Hazel Hall. The hilarity was really something out of this world. On to quieter things. There was a preview of some of the ap- rons to be sold at the apron and bake sale,‘lSay Dad! You better go along and help Mom pick out an apron. They are really some- thing! To crown the evening the hostess served tea and cake. On behalf of all those present, “Thank you" for a wonderful ev- ening. Hallowe’en Dance Friday evening.

The occas- ion was the annu Hallowe'en Dance of the Je rson School Comunity Club when three sets of dancers enjoyed square danc- in': under the able direction of caller Carson Whalen. First part of the evening was spent trying to guess who was be- hind each"‘face". When the time came for awarding the prizes, we certainly didn’t envy the judges. Picking winners from so many \ nderful costumes was quite a task. The ladies’ first prize \vent to Mrs. Al Moses who had even her husband guessing. Second prize was awarded to Mrs. D. Gray for her Red Riding Hood cstume. Carson Whalen. who was as real as any scarecrow won prize for the gentlemen. (Dick Miller as “fiputnik” took second orize.
