Code THE WAY OF THE SCOUT David Shearer and Robert Higgins were well nourished in the Wolf Pack and that is one reason they were eligible for the Queen’s Scout distinction in 1969. The other reason is the Scout Troop which enlarges and adds to a good basic program. “If you take being 3 Scout- se‘riously,” said David, “It can be a way of life. Everything you do can be based around it.” Hiking and camping is a phase much emphas- Ized in the Scout program for it brings the boy more directly in contact with rugged outdoor living and a deeper appreciation of nature. Four years ago, David was a “Tenderfoot” Scout. To be one. you have to know the Scout law and promise, the Scout salute, Sign, handshake and badge. He knows how to give simple directions, use public telephones, skip, walk a plank and give simple first aid. He must have a knowledge of natural history. be able to take care of a, bicycle and under- stand the highway safety rules as they affect cyclists. (Continued from Page 2) out-ofâ€"doors. running or cycling to deliver a message of not less than 15 words and delivering it correctly. A further interest in books, to tell a story, and to repair books is another requirement. A11~ this would be included in the one year of satisfactory service as a Cub before he can become a “Tender- foot Scout". The “Tenderfoot” is encouraged to pioneer and is initiated into better methods of campcraft. He has a better knowledge of applying first aid, of his natural surroundings and has some idea of public service and helping others. Art Latcham, local philanthropist who grew up in Stouffville and who recently returned to take up residence in the town, is promoting the book by publishing and distributing 22,000 copies at his expense, since he affirms that while the books will be free, the recipients will not wish to part with them for $50.00. Well, someone had to combat the rising cost of medicine. Because David grew up under the old way he became a second class Scout after he passed “Tender- foot” requirements. He augmented his knowledge by choosing pursuits in which he shows the most interest and aptitude, a deeper interest in public service and exploring the world at large. The secâ€" ond class Scout must give nine months of satisâ€" factory service before he becomes a first class Scout. He has now the background to get the Queen's Scout Badge. ‘ David Shearer is qualified to wear the first aid and pathfinder badges. He chose fireman and public health man as two others from the possible choices of despatch rider, fireman, horseman, interpreter. pilot, public health man, radio man, rescuer or signaller. ’ This column was written as a tribute to all boys and leaders of the Scouting movement under the old regime and to the boys and leaders who are even now entering a new phase of Scouting with the prime emphasis on good citizenship. The more colorful names Pioneer. Voyageur, Venturer, Rover and Pathfinder will be familiar terms to Scouts of the future. But basically the aim and substance has not changed because development of the boy is the primary concern of the Scouting Movement. In the near future you may receive in the mail a copy of a fascinating little book on the folk med- icines of Vermont. It is written by a doctor living in Barre, Vermont, who was intrigued by the num- ber of patients in country districts who had more faith in the old folk remedies handed down for gen- erations, than in the scientific approach of the doctor. His investigations proved that while faith and superstition were undoubtedly present in the minds of these people, there was a good deal of common- sense in many of the prescriptions. CBC. So it follows that a Queen's Scout is a first class Scout who has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Scoutmaster and the court of honor of his troop‘ that he has done his best in his daily life to live up to the Scout promise and law for the period of six months following the qualifications of a first class Scout and has shown through his actions that he is fully aware of the service significance of the Queen’s Scout Badge. Then it was the duty of Commissioner Douglas Toogood to interview The prospective Queen’s Scout and find out, about future ambitions in Scouting.

Several counties have already invested more than half 3 mil- lion dollars on rte-assessment schemes. and budgeted hun- dreds of thousands more in 1969. But there were mutterings from some leaders this week that they should fire county assessors and refuse to spend another cent on assessment this year.
