SCOUTS' GOOD TURN
WHAT TWO CHIEFS DID MISHAPS TO MILK-CART i A. motto of •every Boy Scout is: "Do at least one good turn every day." The other day the qhief commissioner for Victoria, Mr, 0, A. Hoadley, and a ' dejiutj'-camp chief, Mr. W. D. Kennedy, were waiting for the arrival of Lord Baden-JPowell outside the lodge at Frankston," says the Melbourne Argus, • when a milk cart drawn by a horse went down the hill leading to the lodge. . v. ' ' Suddenly the shafts of the cart shot into the air, the horse sank to its haunches; T>vo <ians of cream and the driver fell to the roadway. The two commissioners ran 50 yards down the road, raised the shafts and the cream cans, and helped the driver to fix the harness. It had caused the collapse by ' breaking. ' The driver had not cone more than 20 yards when another strap broke. The startled horse struggled free and the cart swerved and crashed over an embankment 10ft. in height. Again the Commissioners rushed to the rescue, pacified the horse and, removing coats and hats', , pulled the cart up the steep , bank.
"I reckon I would be safe if I got my head cut off near a Scout camp," the driver remarked as he drove off again, hoping for the best.
