New Scout Hut Opened At Wombwell

The beauty and nobility friendship as contrasted with the worship of power and strength was extolled by Captain H. E. G. West, County Commissioner, at the opening of new Scout hut at Wombwell, on Saturday.

Captain West suggested that physical fitness was not the be-all and end-all of a rightly directed ambition on the part of youth; at the same time, they should not fall between the two stools of physical fitness and sloppiness.
