WHISTLING.
[BY LT-GRN.LOAD BADEN-POWELL OF GALWELZ.]
[Special to "Hong Kong Daily Press. All Rights Reserved.]
You know that one of our Scout Laws is that a Scout smiles and whistles. under all diffeulties.
I have often pointed out that a smile is a jaily useful part of your equipment for making your way in life.
But I did not tell you about the whistling perhaps-and that also is a very valuable thing if only you remember to use it.
"Cheeking" An Officer, Some years ago, when I was in command of a Regiment, one of my men was brought up before me for cheeking a non-commissioned officer and I sentenced him to some sort of punishment.
A few days later the General was inspecting the regiment, and he asked the men whether any of them had any complaints to lay before him. My friend, the late prisoner, stepped up and stated that he had been punished by me för impertinence to a N.C. officer; be did not complain of that, but what he did complain of was that instead of listening to his excuses I merely whistled a tune.
I remember, too, reading somé-- where in Dr. Johnson's writings how a man who crossed Hounslow Heath when it was infested with footpads-us thieves were then calli ed-whistled, not only to keep down his fear but also to pretend, for the benefit of any thieves who might be about, that he had no morey in his. pockets, since anybody with valuables on him would be in such a state of funk and anxiety that he would not be sauntering along whistling.
I have found whistling not only comfortable to one's own nerves in a difficult time, but also comforting to other people.
I have once or twice, when on service, been in a tight place, both when acting as a Staff Officer and also when in command of the men with me. Not knowing exactly how things were going the men looked to me anxiously for some sort of siga,
When they heard me whistling it at once cheered them up and set their fears at rest. But of course it was a bit of play-acting on my part-I was probably in a blue funk myself!
Whistling in a Raid. Once, during the Great Wir. I happened to be in Liverpool Street Station when the German nero: planes were dropping bombs on London. One of these things fell on the carriage I was going to get into, smashed it to smithereens and killed several people and wounded more. It naturally caused a big fright among the hundreds of people in the station, and there was a good deal of anxious whimpering among a crowd near me.
So I started whistling a tane. A number of them began to stare at
A Scout smiles and whistles under me, and at least one or two came all difficulties.
and asked me if there was any danger, and, though I really knew nothing about it, I said no, and So I explained to the General, that the bombers had moved on and and, to Ling, that whenever I got would not be back for twenty very angry it was my practice to minutes. There would be plenty of whistle a tune till I recovered my time for everybody to go quietly temper, so that in this case it was down into the Underground Rail- lucky for the man that I whistled way pasange where they would be THE HONGKONG OPTICAL CO. otherwise he would probably have perfectly safe. They took the hint like lambs. But it was the whistling got a much heavier punishment. Qualified Opticians
that calmed them. The General thought so too, and the man did not go on with his complaint. So that is one useful point about whistling-it steadies your temper. It is also said to steady your serves.

Well, there you are. See what a power you have got if you like to use it!
I suppose every fellow who calls himself a Scout has got à mouth and can whistle. But perhaps you have not thought how useful your whistling can be, both to yourself and to others,
Don't forget it, and try it next time you are in a bad teraper or in great pain, or when people round you are in a panic,
Kemember that the Scout smiles and whistles under all difficulties.
