Day." showed their skill in the diff
ferent events. Aside from and in
addition to camp athletics, any boy
scout filling all the requirements of
a first class scout may win from
national headquarters merit badges
to the number of 200 for special
educational and physical accomplish
ments, also medals for deeds of
bravery.
A swimming float and diving board
was constructed by the boys and a
fifty yard swimming course laid ont.
Several boys striving to swim the
fifty yards, one of the requirements
of first class scout, surprised them
selves by swimming two hundred
yards to the shore. 1t is worth while
to note that every boy acquired the
art of swimming, thus assuring his
own safety in the water.
The daily program was interspersed
by visits from members of Camp
WINNIPEG situated across the lake,
and twice did Camp Seton boys visit
Camp WINNIPEG for a baseball game.
The interchange of sociability and
interest between these two camps
was of mutual benefit. The instruct
ors and members of Camp WINNIPEG
executed kind and helpful interest,
while Camp Seton boys displayed
fine loyalty to their home camp.
The week passed all too quickly.
The boys feel most grateful to Mr..
Cargill who 50 kindly afforded them
tkeir camp site, aud having two
boys of his own as scouts, elsewhere,
took a great interest in the boys, and
to those merchants and friends of
Island Pond who 80 greatly helped
in the fundamental needs of the
camp, they extend thanks.
The interest and support of the
townspeople is solicited as the boys
are most ambitious in their hopes to
procure funds for the establishing of
permanent and larger camp, by
building a weather proof cook room
and store. house next spring.
Daily program as follows:
900 am. Setting up exercise and
dip in lake.
700 Breakfast.
500 Athletics and games.
1920 Swim.
11:30 Dinner.
100 pm. Athletics and games.

Fate and Character Alike.

1t took the world many generations
to recognize and to accept the simple
truth that fate and character were
the same. Even now, though it is ad-
vocated virtually by all creeds and
by all persons who think about the
matter, It is rather an idealistic the
ory than a practical reality. To
take it into the mind and the heart,
to care for it sufficiently to put it in
control of the feelings, to give it, in
other words, loving recognition, is to
turn from hayward and contradictory
theories and to make a right start in
living.

Island Pond

Mr.. and Mrs. T. C. Carr left town
Monday for Port Huron, Mich, to
visit DR.. and Mrs. Garfield, former
residents of Island Pon1. During
their absence their jewelry store will

A great many of our campers COM

the mosquito is a flourishing little

A trainload of gold bullion passed
through Portland Tuesday afternoon,
en- route from Halifax to the sub
treasury in New York. The train
was composed of seven steel express
cars and the amount is said to be
about fifty million dollars, all in bars
or pigs. The train was guarded by
IS armed guards and pilot engine
and car preceded it along the entire
line. Upon the Jrain's arrival at
Portland it was met by Secretary
McAdoo. This may be a coincidence
or Intentional, which, as yet, it has
not been learned. The shipment
was consigned to J. P. Morgan & Co.
Friends here of MI. and Mrs. RIM.
Ram, formerly residents of Island
Pond, will learn with deep regret of
the death of their eldest daughter,
Marie Claribel Ram, at the age of
II years, which occurred at the
home of hel parents, 40 Portland
street, st. Johnsbury on July %, after
an extended illness of Bright's
disease. She was born in Island
Pond October 5, 1898, and with her
parents went to st. Johnsbury to
reside when but one year of age.
Deceased is survived by her parents,
and two sisters, Mildred and Ruth,
for whom much sympathy IS ex-
pressed.
@The growth and comfort of town
depends as much upon good business
management as does the success of
the manufacturer, the merchant, or
the publisher, and depends upon its
advocates no less than business
man grows by his advertisements.
Neither can attain conspicuous sue
cess without publicity. Island Pond
has the reputation by those who visit
the town of being an>unusually pref
ty place which might be made very
attractive. 1t cannot be said that
the citizens of Island Pond lack
public spirit. They have it in a gen.
erous degree, as has been shown on
repeated occasions. But that same
public spirit must be maintained and
increased. Let us show to the people
the advantages offered by Island
Pond as place of residence, of bust
ness, of education, pure and healthy
air and the best of water. All these
good points should be made known
to the people. The successful mall
not only thinks, but he acts. Make
a beginning The chances are that
better ideas will present themselves.
Think, but do not allow this process
to develop into dreaming.

An adjourned meeting of the tax
payers of School District No. was
held last evening at the schoolhouse,
to further consider the proposition of

LONDON, Jan. 81 (by mail to New
York)-As result of the demand re-
Gently made in the House of Lords by
Lord Curzon, the Duke of Rutland, the
Earl of Durham, and others, that the
government inform the civil popula-
tion as to what steps they should take
in the event of German invasion,
circulars are now being distributed in
many of the sea coast and nearby in
land towns by the local emergency
committees, on the authority of the
war office. The instructions vary
slightly, according to the locality, but
the general tenor follows those issued
for the municipality of Lewes, in Sus-
sex. 1t reads:
"Should such most likely event
occur as the landing of an enemy on
the coast of Sussex it might be nee
essary for the civil population of this
town to be removed to some place fur
ther inland, so as to save them from
falling into the hands of the enemy,
and therefore in order to avoid panic
and confusion at such q time the fol-
lowing instructions kave been drawn
up, and every inhabitant must follow
them explicitly:
"No movement is tc be made until
the signal is given. The signal for the
jangling of all chur.h bells. Evedyone

go. Bring away all the food in the
house, especially bread, cheese, and
cooked meat, that they can carry
among them, and also one cooking-p pot
or saucepan, kettle, and mug for

"3. Proceed to Winterbourne-lane,
between Ballard IS brewery and top of

the head special constable.
"a. On arrival at the place to which
they are to be removed they will be
instructed as to the position they are
to occupy, and the people of each area
must keep together in this position.
"5. Arrangements have been made
that all children under eight who are
taken out in vehicles will eb properly
looked after by responsible persons
until the arrival of their parents, when
they can be taken charge of by them.
Note-Sick and infirm people and ehil-
