Georsan ay Cruise (Continued foÔm last week) On our hike, to Blind River for assistance we wandered around a bit, went over several conflicting trails, and finally drifted into a rough sort of wagon road; even ýthis, disappeared, but we came upon a path and after a two mile walk, saw. a very ooor looking farmhouse, obtained. direc- tions, and set1 out on a. ten mile walk,. .We followed a wagon road for soine distance, not an'auto* road, for .even a Ford could flot have navigated the turns, bumps and. sharp rocks, and eventually came to, the railroad. This we followýed for several. miles,1 pass- ing over a bridge and saw a log jamn in. the Missisagi river-the largest we had ever seen. For nearly haif a mile above and be1ôov the bridge the river bcd was'covèred *ith logs, and these logs, w'hiIe forty to fifty feet long, were dep)osited like toothpicks, and staclced in whirlpools and eddies, tak- ing their course from the .swirlin waters.

Thou- sands of BOY Scouts, gave of their, leisure timie to volunteer service with :hartabe oganizations, service, clubs. church groups and also as individuals. Many a nordy fAmily found its Christmas dinner in' a basket delivered, by a Boy Scout. While in mnycaseýs thçee bakets were filled by charitable organizations, in fo e ntne the cost of, the food was met, directly from- funds earned by thç boys for the, purpose1 as aindrnvduals. or as an. offeringZ by the Scout troop. Many Sco*t Trqops adopted families. Thoisands upon tbousands of, unew and used toys were coliected by boyýs in the six weeks before Christmas, o verhauled, and where necessary, re- paired by the boys themselves. Then on Christmas eve either the boys themselves or other Boy Scouts de- livered them to needy boys and girls whose condition had been learned eîther by the Scouts themselves or reported to the Scout organizatiOn by cbarity societies.
