The 25th annlverv ary of scouting in Poland was celebrated In July with a Jamboree in the. forest of Spala, on the estate of the president of the republic. An attendance of well over 20.000 scouts and scouters from many countries took part, including several from Winnipeg. In July also was lirld the third International Rover scout moot, jiear Stockholm, Sweden.

Canada was represented at this gathering by seven rovers. Recently, many srouls from the Iraq government schools made an unique pilgrimage to Mecca. Boys nd leaders were In uniform, and travelled In their own rarRvnn of cars to the sacred city of Mohammedans. King Ibn Saoud greeted them at Mecca and granted them the privilege of taking pictures end other special concessions. Plans for a stupendous Jamboree In Washington, D.C., August 21 to August 30, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the founding of the boy scout movement in America, were cancelled last week owing to an epidemic of Infantile paralysis.

Over 30.000 boys and leaders were expected to take part. Ted Le Maistre and Edgar Baldwin of the ISth Wtnnlrieff s' llke'e ch'Tch troop, wers' to represent Manitoba emits. Turning fo more, local activities, rover scouts of the city will be ut In full force next Saturday for their annual 24 hour hike competition. The hikers in teams of four. Will be given sealed directions, and will map out the route taken.

The popularity of summer camp Jng has Increased tremendously this vear. Although figures are not yet available, reports show that all of the annual camps have been operating at capacity, and some were a little crowded. PONEMAH GIRL GUIDES CAMP NEARS CLOSE The girl guide movement Is making great strides in Winnipeg. Before and during the war It was pretty firmly established, but especially since 1920 It has been "going strong," there being now 60 girl guide companies in Winnipeg. The camp at Ponemah was opened In 1929, and this year every company was represented, with an average of 45 girls in camp each week.

The camp is now nearing its close. The season lasts four or five weeks. Each day has its planned program, commencing at 7.30 a.m., with two swims dally. The girls are divided into patrols, eight to a patrol, and take turns at doing camp duties. There is a trained cook at the camp, but guides take turns at helping, so win efficiency points.

There Is comfortable cottage for the guiders, and a spacious dining room where meals are served. The dining room is also used for other activities and games are under different guiders each week. Miss Margery Hoskins was commandant in charge: Misses Patricia Horder and Bellna Money assistants; Mrs. Roger Fenton was matron; Mary Rtittan, sports captain; the Misses Beatrice Goslln. Mary Kernohsn and Isa bells Simpson, swimming instructors There are graduate nurses at the camp.

it is apparent that nothing if left undone for the well being, comfort and pleasure of the guides. The girls come back better and happier, because they have participated In these days filled with work and play.

Further Hundreds Will Be Given Tribune Parks Board Playground Awards Nearly One Thousand Youngsters Have Already Passed Necessary Tests Another 259 youngsters passed The Tribune Parks Board tests in the various city playgrounds this week, and will be awarded Tribune buttons for their achievement Further competitions In the next few weeks are expected to ewell the total to nearly two thousand. An indication of the popularity of the contest is the average attendance during August at the Aberdeen grounds over 2.300 youngsters a day. A new development of the playground is the inauguration by the Parks Board of a course of lectures by members of St. John Ambulance Brigade. The course will consist of daily lectures id demonstrations for two weeks at Rlverview.

Mulvey, Aberdeen and Norquay playgrounds. It is hoped by next summer to have the course extended to every playground operated by the board. At the end of the summer a competition will be held for the championship. For the younger children the Parks Board is installing stop and go signs In the playgrounds as a means of educating them to cross street safely. This step, it Is hoped, will help reduce the accident toll.

"Heat In the Utah and California deserts incredible In the shade, like being much too near an open furnace. Dam once had 147 degrees in shade. No room for more." Game of Cuckoo This story was told me in the cabin of the "Clutha" by Michael Timonin one night when stormy weather tied us up at the Gimli pier. The storm lantern swung pen.lulum like to the motion of the boat as we sat in the tiny cabin, in its fitful light, and listened to the young "White Army" refugee's tale of one of the deadliest and most bizarre games ever devised by soldiers on active service to relieve the boredom of Inaction during winter.

This nine became so nopular on the Russian front before the revolution that it was prohibited by special order from the commander in chief. In the officer's mess someone would propose a game of "Cuckoo and. so Timonin said, there was an enthusiastic response from half a dozen or more young officers. They would thereupon go, armed with their revolvers, to a great barn like structure without windows (I old Bo i TCoiia Noliijti eu, Shearer, Roht. Furney, Ralllions, Jas.

The door was then closed and precautions taken to chut out any vestige of light. When all was renrfy and dead silence reigned, some one would call out Immediately the others would fire at the sound and for a moment the darkness would be stabbed by flame and ears rang with the staccato barking of the guns. When silence was restored and tense alertness again ruled; when nothing could be heard but the sibilant breathing of the contestants or a whispering shuffle as one of them changed position, the cry "Cuckoo would shatter the silence end the blazing guns would send their deadly missies in the direction of the sound. When you called "Cuckoo" the object was to dodge or lie down anything that occurred to you to avoid getting hit. Can you imagine a more bizarre gamble with death? Yet, as Timonin said, death and wounds became so numerous among the officers of the Imperial Russian army from this form of amusement that drastic measures had to be taken by the commander to put an end to it.

Each patrol was assigned a special pioneering project. The Beavers made a light pole bridge; Wolves a simple lock bridge; the Crows a signalling tower, and the Owlj a swinging derrick. The stalking and tracking lectures and demonstrations were very popular. The camplirea every other night were enjoyed.

17. Warning of an all embracing plan by an International group of financiers to secure control of Canada's transportation system was given hera Friday night by Hon. H. H. Stevens, Reconstruction party leader.

"A great power and transportation trust" which would take over both great railway systems, extensive bus and truck organizations and certain power concerns, waa declared by Mr. Stevens to be the proposal. He had been informed, and believed it to be so, that Prime Min ister R. B. Bennett would declare for a national government to deal with the railway problem.

Thii was the plan of financial Interests on St. James Street "a national government, nominally to deal with the railway problem, but actually to maintain financial control of Canada." The railway problem eclipsed all other topics in Mr. Stevens' address. It was bis last speech for the. present in Saskatchewan.

"Let Canadians refuse to be stampeded," he said in stating the view that a deliberate attempt was being made "to create a panic in the minds of the Canadian publia so that they will lose confidence in both railway systems." Canadiuns must have confidence In Canadu" and in our ability to restore proi perlty to our transportation system." Propaganda Misleading The obstacle encountered by financial interests in attempting to form the transportation trust had been securing control of the National railways. "Hence the persistent propaganda about the National railways being a 'whits he said. "The public is being deceived and misled in this respect. The National railways are not half as bad as represented True, said Mr. Stevens, there has been reckless expenditure for a time on the National Railway system.

Now, however, the National system was well managed. "Given a reasonable chance this great system will yet prove to bs one of our great assets. Nor is there Justification for 'bearing' Ins stock of the Canadian Pacific railway as has been done in recent years." The effort appeared to be to stampede the public, to delude them, and to convince them that the railway problem was "so overawing that it transcends everything In the Dominion." It could easily be seen, Mr. Stevens said, Imw the plan might be pul UuuugU. C.F.K.

stuik "beared down" might be easily picked up. The Canadian National painted black might find Itself regarded unfavorably by the public "We must prevent these railways falling into the hands of a group of powerful financiers," Mr. Stevens warned. "This is not a time to sell or sacrifice. This is the time to hold on to the systems and opeiate them to the advantage of Canada." Canada's railways needed traffic, and this would come with an increased purchasing power for Canadians.

"What Canada needs, yes, and what the railways need, is an easy money policy." Reflina Riots Avoidable The Reglna riots on July 1 last were "most deplorable" and could have been avoided. Mr, Stevens told a questioner. mut stop trestlnjr lahnr as a commodity In Canada. We must provide useful and constructive employment for men now Idls end In camps," he said. He was at a loss to understand the camp policy.

"Are you in favor of abolishing the Winnipeg Grain Exchange? asked another questioner. "My position in regard to ths Winnipeg Grain Exchange, or any other exchange, is that an exchange is a place for buyer and seller to meet to do business. When it becomes meerly a gambling Institution, then it is a menace. To ths extent that it becomes a menace I would abolish It. But where It affords an opportunity to bring buyer and seller together, I would continue it," was the reply.

NEW MODELS OFFERED BY RCA VICTOR New models for the R.C.A. Victor radio are now In the city and dealers assembled at the Fort Garry hotel (Jh Friday inspected them with enthusiasm and also enjoyed a dinner meeting at which Roy Aj Forbes, general manager of R.C.A. Victor in Canada, explained the new refinements and advances in his company's product snd dealt interestingly with business conditions and the outlook for the coming year. Pat Burns, district manager of R.C.A. Victor In Canada, presided at the meeting, which was attended by 85 Victor representatives.

Stressing first the Immense organization behind the Victor product and the completely modern plant with skilled research workers ever on the alert to Improve the product, Mr. Forbes drew attention to the advantages of metal tubes, magic eye tuning, and selector dial which will feature the Victor models this year. The magic eye, a popular Victor development, permits of visual tuning by light and insures closer selection and a better, richer choice of volume and tone. The vital Importance of thn qualities would, he said, be recognized by all radio listeners In. Metal tubes, too, provide both electrical and mechanical benefits.

They are practically unbreakable which Insures a great saving to producer, retailer end user, as witn the elimination of tube breakage it is possible to reduce handling, packing and shipping conts. Longer tube life is also assured, another important factor to Victor advantage. The new cablet models for this season are more beautiful than ever before. No expense has been spared to bring the Victor radio to Its public as a beautiful piece of furniture which will be an ornament in any room, as well as ths finest radio that skill can devise and money produce. Victor, this season, as last, purposes to lead in the all wave field and Indications are that the new mode's will meet with an enthusiastic reception from the publlo already thoroughly eetzed of ths Victor quality product The meeting was one of a series being held throughout Western Canada..
