A SNODLAND man who has col- lected paper and cardboard for the Scouts for 25 years has been presented with a watch. Brian Phillips, of Simpson Road, re- ceived the gift from Peter Byrne, Snod- land group Scout leader, and Steve Cameron, group chairman.

walk round the town with council- lors but had to return to her office.
