A permanent organization em-

Calgary Panama Canal Conven-

and 29th.

The committee in charge of

that this will be the only way
by which the purpose of the con-
vention can be fulfilled. Mere

Permanent co-opera-

and cilies represented at the
gathering to grasp the full meas-
ure of opportunity presented by
the opening of the great canal.

The interest of each town and
city in this matter is reeognized
to the interest of all and a
comprehensive scheme will be
planned at the convention by
which the whole of the west will
be found ready when the great
opportunity arrives.

THE MAKINGS OF
A YOUNGSTER

Boy Scout Rescued Three Year
Old Boy in Flames from Ter-
rible Death and Told No One
of His Heroism.

Calgary, June 18,—Seeing a
child with his clothes ablaze,
James Fidler, a 13-year-old Boy

Scout, son of Alf. Fidler, showed
conspicuous courage and pres-
ence of mind in putting out the

flames with a football cover
which he was. carrying. Jim
Fidler was walking along Thir-

teenth avenue when a 3-year-old

boy dashed from behind the
house toward the stree, his
clothes in flames,

Jim jumped over the fence and
attacked the flames with (he foot-
ball cover.

“ft didn’t roll him on the ground

to. put the flames out because
there were a lot of ashes and I
might have hurt him worse,”

said he to the Albertan last night.

After he had put out the fire,
Mrs. Brandon, 133 Thirteenth
avenue west, mother of the child,
rushed out and assisted in re-
moving the hot and charred
clothes, While she was doing
this Jim ran for the doetor, Not
finding Dr. Crawford in, he went
back to the house to see if any

more could be done. The baby
had been taken into the house
and Jim went home.

He did not say a word to either
his mother or father about the
incident, and it came to _ their
ears only by Mrs. Brandon eall-
ing to thank the parents of the
boy who had saved the life of her

son,

James Fidler is a scout in the
Church of the Redeemer troop.
His scout master, the Rey, C,
Horne, @alled him to the front at
the last troop assembly and

thanked him for the credit he had
brought to the troop and to the
institution of scouts as a brigade,

It is the feeling of Jim’s par-
ents that he has only done his
duty as a scout. “Be Prepared”
is the motto of the scouts, and
Jim has shown by his presence
of mind that one scout, at least,

| appreciates its meaning,
