Twenty-six gallons of maple syrup were served. “and not a. drop left over." at the annual Boy Scout Maple Sugar Social at Gmnby, Que. some 600 people attended.

1.000 Boy Scouts from 50 counties of England. Scotland and Wales gathered at Windsor Castle for the third National Scout Service, and were addrasscd by King Edward. It was the first Scout function attend- ed by His Majesty since his accos- sion to the throne.

The essay on "World Peace" zxhich won for Scout 0. W. Mat- lhews III, of Portland. Ore.. the 85.- 000 college scholarship offered by Eddie Cantor, the comedian, was based upon the writer's personal ex- perience. He was a member of the American Scout contingent at the International Scout Jamboree of 1933 at Godollo, Hungary. and based his essay upon observation of the mutual friendliness and goodwill shown there by boys of many na- tionalltles.

The children of Cree and Olibway Indian villages sparsely scattered over the grout baxrens bordering James and Hudsolfs boys are to be given the opportunity of playing hockey and baseball. and learning about Mickey Mouse and other heroes of the cluizirenxs world. On- tario Scout Headquarters has in- vited Scout Groups to "adopt" cer- tain of these isolated wigwam vil- lages. without schools, or any guid- ance in play. and to send them from time to time picture books, indoor games for the long winter evenings, and equipment for outside games. including hockey pucks and base- balls. Because of transportation problems. pictures only of bats and hockey sticks will be sent. from which these may be made. Former Scouts and other assistants at trad- ing posts will be asked to demon- strate the games.

"Scouting was abolished in Ital)’ and Germany because Scouting helps a boy to think fm- himself. Dictators do not want people to think. The abolition of Scouting in Germany and Italy is not a setback for Scouting. It is a proof of the nine of the training."-J. B. Wilson, comp chief. Gilwell Park.

In the course of an address to a thousand representative Boy Scouts from all parts of Britain, gathered for the third National Scout ser- vice at St. George's Chapel, wind- sor, King Edward thus referred to the international importance or 50011911181 “The Scout Movement in its best and widest form is inter- national. and that in these days is a. 911118 0‘ V9-"5’ Kreat importance. 1 W°ll1d like You all to remember when YOU IHIVE SI'0'~Vn up, when your Scouting days are behind you, this international aspect, because this country will always have to take :1 leading Dan in the afinirs of the world."

There was a gradual return to medieval music which he considered desirable as the devotional side was stressed in this music.

"The organist is often used as 3 means of covering up the had work of the choir." he added.

REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF COUNCIL

L‘-entlcmcn:—

It is my pleasure to present to you tonight a short report regard- ill; the activities of our Associ- ation during the year i935.

Unlike the previous year when Spring arrived we had an excel- lent range to practice on and that made it convenient for our Inter—Maritimc shoot. After a num- ber of shoots a good team was se- lected and they competed with No- va sootia and New Brunswick at Saint John. Thursday. June soul. The Nova Bootians were much too good, winning off by themselves with New Brunswick second and our team third—four points behind New Brunswick. It was quite I change from the preceding year when competition was so keen and records were broken. Nova scours excellent win was largely due to their superior selection of rifles which gave them very close shoot-

g. . The Annual Prize meeting was held on August llth and 6th and the attendance was practically the same as the previous year. The ar- rangements were good and fine weather made it I very pleasant outing. A marquee was erected where the prizes were displayed on tables and made 3 very handsome appearance. The presentation of prizes was made at the oompietion of the shoot by Mr. W. Chester 3. McLure. M.‘P., in the unavoidable absence of His Honour. Lt. Gover- nor Detelols, who is one of the As- sociation‘; principal contributors.

The Governor General‘: Silver Medal for the Grand Aggregate, and the D.C.l-'t.A. Medal were won by Licut. Percy Hooper of the P. E. I. Highlanders with high scores. Sgt. A. 1''. Gormley of the Signals was winner of the Bronze Medal in both events. other winners of matches will be found below.

We take this opportunity of re- tuming thanks to the donors of cups, medals and cash, without which we could not make our shoot a oucoess. We thank them most sin- cerely and assure them that their generosity is deeply appreciated by our riflerncn.

The Ottawa team of ten men was

selected from the highest scorer: in the Ottawa Aggregate. They left on Saturday, August 10th. and took part in the D.O.R.A. matches at Ottawa from August lath to 1'lth. and made I good showing in competition that was perhaps the stiffcat in years. Shooting activities on the range were cut off about the middle of September because the range had to be closed owing to the erection of a sea wall. This wu secured largely through the efforts of Mr. W. Chester 8. Mcbure. M.P.. with the backing of Major-General A. O. MacNaughton. C.M.G.. D4S.O.

Its completion means that our range will be protected from the erosion of the sea for many many years. Ewery year a toll of land was taken which if allowed to continue would have cut through the 200 yard range and made shooting impos- sible. The work which was not fully completed when the Bennett gov- ernment went out of power. was discontinu "‘ but through the cf- forts of Mr. Peter Sinclair. M. l>., was finished before the end of the year. It is a fine job and reflects great credit on those responsible for it.

During the year we lost by death one of our most faithful members. Dr. A. W. Ieard of Gummcrcide. who has been connected with the Association as Vice President sav- cnl times. He was prucnt at our annual shoot and give I good In- oount. of himself and at that time

The above brief chronicle M the happenings of 1935 show that our Axocisvlon has pretty fully lived up to its reputation for the encour- agement of rifle shooting. The un- satisfactory type of rifle which we nre armed with is probably the reason why a greater interest is not taken in this manly practice. With all the will in the world and all the ability to make bull’: eyes. one cannot do so without proper equipment. The new type of rifle which is in use It Bislcy. is, 1 un- dcrstcnd. inexpensive and perhaps in the course of another year or so mty be available for distribution here. If so I am confident our en- tries would increase by leaps and bounds.

In conclusion I hope the above report will be found satisfactory by our members tonight. and that

Capt. .M. _ Sig. J. S. Monon-

cach and cvcrv one will use his best‘

energies towards improving our po- sition in 1936. Before closing I would like to say that we are very proud tonight to see our President. Lt.-colonel H. M. Dwison. V.D.. seated in his usual pllce and lip- psrently in good health. During the winter he had a severe lllneu which he has. we trust. thoroughly got rid of. Having been associated with him through so many years I am in 3 position to realiu: his great worth and value to us. and I Im sure I would be very remiss indeed

if I did not tell you that several

times during the past seven or eight month; he has made strenu- ous efforts to get things for us which were necessary. and which were conceded largely through his influence. Iuzpcctmlly submitted. D. A. MACKINNON. Lt.-Colonel. Chairman of Council. PJIA.
