the “tea and“ crumpets type’.
In the. course, of. sharing their”
war years, one. fact made itself

known -~"-no- matter what ‘walk

of “life: these. man’ had departed ©
from, they were “obviously ill-
equipped physically :to cope with

‘any . outdoor. activity. and battle

fatigue was abnormally predom-
. inant. The lack had engendered
itself in the formative years of
these fighting men - specifically, -

-physical training and outdoor life.

In:February of 1907, he pub--

for. Boys,”’.. thinking of course,
: . that. existing boys’ groups © and
organizations would supplement
their -goais with his suggestions.

It. went further than he antici-~
pated.
In the Spring of 1908, hundreds

of young boys who didn’t belong

to any organization, formed Scout
troops, using. Baden-Powell’s
handbook as their guide. . :
.. In 1910, Baden~Powell left the
Army and activated .a Boy Scout

Expenditure of $100 ‘of municipal recreation funds ‘led to”
some heated‘ debate and eventually to.a divided vote:in | North -
Saanich council meeting last Monday night...

“The? problem. first’ arose two. weeks ago - -when ‘council
received a request. for a grant.to help defray travel expenses .
for the Claremont Student Choral Group on a-summer tour
Although the original . appeal was on. the verge of.
“rejection, Alderman. Neil: Horth succeeded in extending its -
life. by persuading Mayor J.B. Cumming and ‘other council
members to refer it ta the municipal recreation commission.
for study and recommendation ...

She’ presented | the . commission’s report “Monday night,
‘observed that a number of the students are from North Saan-~
ich, thet they are contributing to the travel costs themselves
and that-this is’a cultural and recreational group which gives.
pleasure to‘the entire community.

Although the commission Tecognized that the school board |
does not budget for this activity, it did unanimously recom-
mend that North ‘Saanich allocate $100 from recreation funds |

After presenting the report: ‘Alderman
Horth strongly urged council’s approval.
Mayor Cumming immediately questioned the right to use

Alderman ‘D.R, Cook supported the appeal and observed*
that Sidney had granted-$100 to the group and Saanich $400.

“That is no reason why we should,’’. snapped his worship.

Alderman ’G.R. ‘Aylard’ saw great value.in. the trip for the
students but. was strongly: against the principle of using
municipal funds for such’ activities.’

~The motion finally came to a vote with Aldermen Horth,
Cook and Adams in favour. and with Aylard, Davis and Cump-

“To break the’ tie, Mayor Cumming cast his vote in favour.
of the $100 grant but asked the clerk to register his objections -
to using public funds for. such projects, oe
