Crerar. chief Rex even managed to keep in theatrical trim while ser- ving as an officer in the Bri- tish army during the war. He directed a group of offi- cer cadets in a production of “Journey’s End." Mr. Sevennaks performed occasionally during his teens and was a member of the Oxford University Drama Society. He later attended the Webber Douglas School of Drama. Eric “Rex” Sevennaks was born in South Africa. the son of the comntissioner for native affairs. He was edu- cated in England and made his theatrical debut at the age of six. At that time, Charles Wyndermere wrote a Christmas play for Rex, his brother and the small daug- hter of Charles Owens Tay- lor. Out of this, a series of three plays developed with two professional actresses. Mr. Owens Taylor and the three children appearing in all. BY JO CRUISE A Thornhill resident. Rex Sevennaks of 29 Kirk Drive is a man of many accomp- lishments. I think this may be due to the, smaller size of the Euro- pean countries. It is not un- common for an Italian Rover crew to go camping in Belgium Recently I was able to visit the old country and was over- come by the beauty and quick- changing nature of the area. Most of my tlme was spent working in the bulb fields of Holland. I was very fortunate in being able to meet a fairly large number of brother Scouts and Rovers who showed me the country and its many points of interest. I noticed how much more spirit and vitality these mem- bers had with respect to the world order of scouting. On the whole they were more interest- ed and enthusiastic about the Scout program than most Ca~ nadian boys.‘ (Peter Tytler. son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. 'I‘ytler.

I was very fortunate in being able to meet a fairly or Switzerland, while here in Canada it is only occasionally that a Rover crew or Scout troop is able to support camp- ing trips to distant areas of our own country. let alone to the United States or Europe. It seems that only in the case of a Jamboree is enough spirit rais- ed to provide the support. both financial and emotional, to en- able a single Scout or Rover to participate. One can therefore imagine the greater interest drawn by functions of the Eur- opean scouting movement. Thornhill Rover Gives Impressions Of Europe Back in England in 1949, the versatile Mr. Sevenoaks The next step in his career took him back to Africa, his birthplace. where he direct- ed and played the lead in "Chiltern Hundreds“ by Douglas Hume. This play toured all over the Gold Coast and played to mixed colored and white audiences. A percentage of the take went to the setting up of a leper colony in what is now Ghana. Before returning to Eng- land and the Landon stage. he spent a year in France and Belgium where he acted in French plays. Back in London. he joined the Barry O'Brien Company and tour- ed England. playing in such productions as “Dr. Clitter- house". "French Without Tears" and many others. of the Canadian General Staff.
