A BOY SCOUT RADIO SERVICE
INTERESTING VENTURE An interesting venture in “service j iv being made by the St.. Andrew s New i Brunswick. Scout Troop. Their headquarters is lucky enough ; to own a radio station and. like true; Scouts, they are using it for the bene- l fit of others. Three times a week they gel into j touch with the keepers of the light- j houses at Head Harbour, Gannet Rock, j Southern Wolf and Seal Island on the j Bay of Fundy and let them know what j is happening in the world. “We learn how they are faring and j give them all the local news, including I the district hockey scores,” reports the j station, which has on its stall several j young Morse operators. Such contacts must be most welcome lo men who are almost completely shut off from the world, and it is another excellent example of the many ways in which it is possible to do a good turn.
