taken part in the plays ths troop has staged. In his spare moments he likes to potter in the garden and‘ calls himself a gardener.

It‘ may not. be out of I place to" quote s few lines from a letter re-‘ celved by Jimmie from the Scout Executive Commissioner Norman Saunders: “Tire honor and the re- sponsibility that is yours will call for the very best that is iri you.‘ and because we have selected you, as a representative from this prov-Q ince and from Canada we know that ‘ you will live up to the scout ideals it all times." '

"Through this International gath- ering you will gain a much wider‘ appreciation of scouting. The com-t mittee and the,movement as a whole . is looking forward to the time of,‘ your return when you will tell of. your experience and convey to nth-i ers some of the knowledge you gliin- ‘ ed on your journey. May you carry the honour ‘that has been bestowed upon you as a true Scout."

It may perhaps be remember- ed that a warning was issued early in the year’ from Ottawa against feeding too many raw potatoes to swine, and the danger to the coming litter was clearly pointed out. But the potatoes were plentiful and the temp-

There are many roots used m various countries as food, and almost all are improved by belns hfiflied by baking or boiling. The aroids, for in- stance. have an acrid tuberous root stock which in its natural state 1s utterly unfitted for food. Yet when heat is applied the poison is "dis-
