SOME
men underestimate the necessity of Life Insurance through a belief that they can't afford it, or because of an exaggerated feeling of prosperity. Yet most estates often disclose vanished assets and reveal-too late-that a little foresight could have secured financial protection for dependents.

of Scouting-not the discipline that is imposed from without, for we have little to do with that- but the discipline that comes from within and the loyalty that is given not merely because it is due. but froin a consciousness that it is good and pleasant and fitting that we should be loyal.
His Excellency the Officer Ad- ministering the Government (the Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn, C.M.G.). and Mrs. Southorn, accompanied by Capt. Swayne, A.D.C.. arrived prompt to time and were greeted with the strains of the National Anthem. Others present include 1, Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Pearce, Mrs. Cock, Mr. G. C. Moxon, H.E. Major General J. W. Sandilands, Rear Admiral R. A. S. Hill and Lt. Col. C. H. Little.
The first number was the Band and Bugle March (56th. Brigade) which was excellently performed. Then followed the Bugle arch (St. George) after which the bug lers sounded "Retrent." The band contributed selections from "Mar tial Moments" and "Merrie Eng- land," these being followed by the Bugle March, "The Empire." The last items were given by the band, "Rule these being an Overture. Britannia," and the evening hymn "The Day Thou Gavest." The with programme was concluded the Regimental March (Prince Al- bert's) and the National Anthem.
Towards the end the threat of rain became more menacing, and a slight drizzle caused many people to leave early. However, the rain was not sufficient to spoil the entertainment, and the ma- jority of people remained,
The Band and Bugles gave an excellent account of themselves, and the selections were greatly en- joyed.
Some of our Troops have not scored high marks in the Banner Competition. They may be small in numbers their opportunities for training may not be as good as those enjoyed by other Troops. To these I would say that so long as you are good Scouts and do your best it doesn't matter a bit what place you take in competi- tions. Acquit yourselves honour according to your limita- tions. I would like you to remem- ber these words of Thackeray, ane of England's greatest men:
"Let who may receive the prize,
with
Go out and conquer as you
can,
But if you fall or if you rise
Be each, pray God, a gentle-
man."
Standing at the salute the (Scouts renewed their promises for the forthcoming year to do their duty to God and the King; to help other people at all times, and to obey the Scout Law.
After cheers had been given for the Chief Scout, the Troops re- turned to their own headquarters.

brother Scouts,-Our Associn- tion the world over has appoint- ed this day-St. George's Day- for the annual renewal of our Scout Promise to do our duty to God and the King, to help other people at all times and to obey the Scout Law.
You all know what that law is. It deals progressively with Hon- our, Loyalty. Friendliness, Cour- tesy, Kindness to Animals, Discip line, Cheerfulness, Thrift, and Cleanliness of Mind,
Really they can all be summed up in one word. Chivalry, and it is with Chivalry that St. George. the Patron Saint of England, is most prominently associated.
We belong to a great order of Chivalry. The honour of the Or der is a trust that is held by every Scout. and in all our thoughts and actions we must be loyal to that trust. It is not an empty promise that we renew to- day, but a real responsibility that we carry, and every year we pledge ourselves on our honour to carry it with credit to the great brother- hood of Scouts to which we be- long.
Let us keep in the forefront or this promise the ideals of personal
