It is possible that the oath, ad- ministered in the form of a ques- tion to the King by the Arch- bishop of Canterbury at the Coronation ceremony, will have to be changed slightly to conform with the altered status of the Dominions and their relation to the King since the Statuto of Westminster (1931),

In 1937

Amsterdam, Mar. 25.

A camp site of 450 acres accommodating 30,000 youths has been selected near the village of Vogelenzang for the World Boy Scout Jamboree in the summer of 1937.

The village of Vogelenzang is only a short distance from Haarlem at the north of Hol- land, close to both the Eng- Hsh channel and the Zuider Zer.

The camp itself is located against large sand dunes that the protect Holland from North Sea. The surrounding country is typical of the quaint Dutch landscape with dunes, woods and sea an one side and the flat country of Holland on the other.

The Jamboree will be held from August 1 to August 10, 1937.-United Press.
