Last Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, services were held for the late Ed- Acorn in the Baptist Church of this city. It was filled with friends including large num- bQrs of horsemen from all over the Marititnes. The many floral tributes and the large funeral which was preceded by the Legion Band and Legionalres. as well as the hundreds oi spectators who lined the streets, testified to the high regard in which Ed was 11916. and rightly so, for he was a most generous and kindly man. For over a down years Ed offic- iated as starter at most .01. the races held over the Island vals and his fairness to all was just another evidence oi his fine character. During his long illness he was ever cheerful and he went a-way from us in the same brave. kindly way. To his wife and fam-

‘Tuesday. Aug. 10th -_ After In- spection this morning. which. was won by the Otters (PL. Ian Tay- lor, Second Ralph Mlicleod, and Scouts Ken MacEwen and Dean Ravenhlll), the Chief called the camp together and announced that the Camp was to go on an ail- dfly hike. Off we went down through a beautiful hard-wood forest in back oi Donald Mac_ Klhnoffs farm to a high-banked shore where we cooked dim-w; After dinner, our pioneers repair- ed and strengthened the steps and ladder leading down to the shore and we all had a swell swlgn, T” bad about Charlie Stacey's swim- ming trunks!

When we arrived hack in Camp. the First Class hikers were back and Executive Commissioner he. Page also had arrived for a visit. We had a real bang-up council fire on our last night and the Scouts will have fond mflfndflgg 0g such things as the Banjo Song.

Wednesday. aug. 11th, _ m... last day of Camp, and what a rush. Our transportation arrived: three hours ahead of time and n, 111K of vital packing of provincial equipment had to be done which meant the Scout's personal gear was very hastily slung together, but, notwithstanding the heat and extra work oi breaking camp, the Scouts sot away in good time and sang nearly all the way back from Camp.

At the official closing of the Gama. the Chief awarded an. Bob Nelson with the prim for having the best Scout spirit and for making the most prop-egg, Scout Billy Ives was the youngest and most interested Soout, and Patrol Leader Keith Beaten got the prize for leading the Patrol who won the honour pennant most times.

1n order to make up "Your Favourite Council Fire Program", we are asking the Scouts who were to the 3rd.-’1th. Camp to send us in what they consider their favourite songs, yells, skits. action songs. etc. From what you send in to Beaver and Red Pine. we will pick out a council Fire Pro- Bram that will please all. Please send in your suggested program to either George Anderson. P.0. Box 254 or Sterling Walker, Post Office Box 245 not later than August 17th., 1948.

(by Ink land)

NIW YORK. Aug. 1S—(AP)- New York lost a middleweigut title match to New Jersey today when the Tournament of Champ- ions moved the Tony Zola-Marcel Cerdan bout across the river to Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City. for Sept. 21.

Promoter Andy Niederreiter and his a ' tee. engaged in a box- ing war with Mike Jacobs’ well- established Club. dropped plans for a Sept. 2'4 date at Ebbets Field after a private session with Eddie Egan. chairman of the New York. State Athletic commission.

Efforts to budge the Twentieth Century from its Sept. II date at Yankee Stadium tor the light- weight title bout between Ike Williams and Jesse Flores foiled and the new promote a decided to go to Jersey City one day ahead of the Jacobs program.

"I told Eagan that Sept. 23 was the only possible date for us at Brooklyn," ill/J Nlederreitcr. “Eagan consulted Sol Strauss (acting promoter of the Twen- tieth Century) about ch ging his ciate to avoid a co lct oit Strauss said his plans were set."

Strauss said Eagan "hinted" about changing his date as tlie Yankee Stadium has an open schedule for three weeks in Sep- tember. "'

“We had announced our Sept. 3) date long ago." said Strauss. "We run 80 shows a year. . .why should we move when somebody comes along with the idea of rur- nlng one show in Brooklyn?"

Eagen issued a. brief statement. pointing out that no formal licence application ever had been received from the Tournament o.‘ Champions who made only a "query" about running at Brook- lyn.

lflederreiter professed to be pleased with the Jersey City set- up. Basul on a S30 top. he fig- ures the show will draw $400,000 as compared to the $308,000 puued in by his first venture. Rocky Graziano-Zale at Newark in June. With seats on the field, the bail park will accommodate 40.000 people.

Cerdan, due from France next week, will get no guarantee "out will be paid 1'7 1-2 per cent oi the net gate. Zale probably will get a 3120.000 guarantee with l. priv- ilege oi 40 per cent.

Before the games Canada House gave a reception to the Canadian athletes. There were soft. and even hard. drinks and delicious dalntles on the tables.
