To the Editor of the "Nowrn-Ciixa Dany News."
Sit—Although I have' absolutely no connexion with the Jewish Boy. Scouts and Cubs and although attended neither the Jamboree held on Thursday nor the one on Saturday, T hope you will permit, me to answer Ricardo's letter, as I happen to be of the same race as the boys: who won.
Those of us who are acquainted with the parents of some—not all—of the boys, who are extremely or thodox, will understand that the: would never permit thei take part in the competition Sabbath—the day of Ly in the firedighting exe sure not all the Jewish boys whose parents respect the Sabbath and who were there went there with the! knowledge of their parents.
T can astute Ricardo that it was! not very many years. ago that—when still a boy—t used to sneak away on a Satunlay afternoon to) go and watch the football matches oF some other sporti pon returning hot event and, not having attended the Services.
Would Ricardo have wished rather to see the whole troop turn out on Thursday or only part of troop on Saturday under such a condition?
Thanking you for the space you allow me, and enclosing my card.
Tam, ete.
