• Malaria continues to be the world's greatest single cause of disablement and the world's costliest disease. A million people die of malaria every year even now. 
• Malaria is present in 140 countries and territories inhabited by aver 1,000 million people.
• There can be little doubt that the eradication of malaria is essential to mankind's progress, economic, social and cultural To quale Dr. M.G. Canadan, Director General of World Health Organization, 'n man's endless struggle for a healthier life, to free the world from the ancient scourge of malaria will be a great victory. But it is not the health aspect alone which makes a worldwide eradication campaign worth the effort and sacrifice. The disease has striking repercussions on economic production and social progress in under developed countries. Today....the fight against malaria is an inherent part of the social and economic action of the United Nations and its specialized agencies.
• Today eradication of malaria is within mankind's reach. In fact, eradication has been achieved already in some areas and has stood the test of time. A worldwide campaign has been launched by the World Health Organization. Man today possesses the necessary knowledge and the necessary experience to wipe out malaria. The programme has already yielded results and the number of people that fell ill from malaria every year has dropped from 250 million in 1955 to 140 million. According to available statistics, out of a total population of 1,381 million people who were exposed to the risk of malaria 305 million in 39 countries now live in areas free of this disease. The number of countries that have succeeded in banishing malaria is increasing year by year.  In 1961 the greatest venture in public health the world has ever seen was going forward in 67 countries.
• India is engaged on a country wide campaign to eradicate this disease and to free its 400 million people from the threat of malaria. The ravages caused by malaria in India are too well-known. An estimate of 1952 indicated that 75 to 80 million people suffered from this disease every year and at least 0.8 to 1 million people died as a direct result of malaria and another 1 to 1.5 million indirectly. Many millions who had repeated attacks were debilitated for long periods. Apart from the intense human sufferings, the economic repercussions were serious.
• Available records show that the proportionate case rate which was 10.8 per cent, in 1953 had been lowered to 0.6 per cent by September 1961. Prior to the Second World War, malaria control in India was confined mainly to semi-urban areas and the activity was directed towards application of larvicidal agents such as oil or paris green. In  the absence of definite knowledge for economic control of malaria in rural areas a nation-wide malaria control programme was only a dream. Since the war, however, the position has entirely changed. Several pilot projects were initiated and by 1952 about 30 million people had been protected.
• In the light of the success of pilot projects, the Government of India launched the National Malaria Control Programme  in 1953.
• The programme was run for a period of 5 years in a phased manner with the object of affording protection to 200 million people living in highly malarious areas. By the end of this 5-year period a total population of 163 million people had received full protection and 30 million partial protection. Meanwhile large scale malaria control operations in other countries brought out several important factors.
• There was, on the one hand the possibility of development of resistance in the vectors against the insecticides in use against them, and on the other, the realization that eradication could be achieved and at a comparatively lesser cost These factors paved the way towards launching of a nationwide malaria eradication campaign. The programme, which was launched from 1958, was to be assisted by the United States Technical Cooperation Mission and the World Health Organization.
• The activities under the programme were to intensify spray operations in every roofed structure in the country for a period of 3 to 5 years and in some areas for an even longer period. Surveillance operations comprising of detection of cases and other scientific investigations were to commence from the third year of the programme. By the end of the first two years, all the units had been set up and operations had commenced. Machinery had been established for.
• (i) spraying every house in rural or semi-urban areas with insecticide,
• (ii) peripheral belt spray in every large urban area.
• (iii) for every house to be visited twice a month in search of cases of fever as it was only through the systematic examination of blood smears that it is possible to hunt down every single case of malaria; 
• (iv) for taking similar steps in all medical institutions and hospitals with the cooperation of the medical profession as a whole;.
• (v) for searching out every positive case and to institute radical treatment and.
• (vi) for conducting epidemialogical investigations and taking appropriate measures.
•  The programme is already half way through and has entered from this year the consolidation phase in respect of nearly one-third of the total number of units from where spraying would be withdrawn. A programme of such gigantic magnitude, no doubt, faces immense problems, administrative, technical and operational.
• The Government of India and the State Governments have given the programme the highest priority and have allocated nearly one-fifth of the nation's public health budget for the implementation of this task and are attempting to stamp out the disease once for all and thus contribute towards the global malaria eradication .

• Lord Baden Powell founded the Boys Scout movement in 1907 by holding a camp on Brown sea Island in U.K. The movement attracted a world wide fancy and every where Scout Organizations started. The underlying principles were appreciated all over the world and honoured by issued of commemoratives. The first country in this direction was Hungary to depict Boy Scouts on Sport series 1000k Stamp of 1925. The first International Jamboree was held at Olympia, London in 1920, and B-P was acclaimed Chief Scout of the World.
• World Jamborees have become one of the most important features of the Scouting Movement and are held every four year, only interrupted by the Second World War. On these occasions the various Nations issue commemoratives showing the dire activities and emblems of the Movement.
• The First Pakistan Scout Jamboree was held at Karachi in 1952. The event was marked by a special cancellation. The Second Jamboree was held at Chittagong in December, 1958. The Third Jambore is being held at Lahore from December, 24-31, 1960.
• A new stamp bearing the KIM'S GUN - the embler for 3 Jamboree - has been issued to mark the occasion.
• HE ZAMZAMA GUN .On a raised platform, opposite the entrance to the Museum and facing the Mall is placed the famous Zamzama Gun, called also "BHANGIANWALI TOP. It was placed in position on the occasion on the visit of His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh to Lahore in 1870.
• The ancient piece of ordnance, one of the largest specimen of casting in India, was cast at Lahore, with another gun of the same size in 1757 A.D. by Shah Nazir, under direction of Shah Wall Khan prime minister of the Abdali King Ahmad Shah Durrant. It is made of mixture of copper and brass.
• Ahmad Shah used it in the famous battle of Panipat in 1761. After battle, on his way back to Kabul, he left it at Lahore with his Governar, Khawaja Ubed, as the carriage for it to Kabul not ready. In 1762 Hari Singh Bhange made war on Khawaja Ubed and attacked the village of Khawaja Sold two miles from Lahore, where the Moghal Governor has his arsenal, and seized his artillery, arms and ammunition. Among the gun captured on this occasion was the Zamzama Gun which thence forward came to be called, after the capture in name, "THE BHANGI TOP. It lay unmounted in the Shah Burjat Lahore until 1784, when Lahna Singh and Gullar Singh Bhanglo obtained possession of it, on capturing Lahore. It was then carried to Amritsar where it remained in the fort till 1802, when Ranjit Singh expelling the Bhang is from Amritsar, pakistan possession of it. It came to be regarded as a talisman of supremacy, and Ranjit Singh employed it in his campaigns of Daska, Kasur, Sujanpur, Wazirabad and Multan. It was seriously injured at the siege of the last mentioned place in 1818, when it was removed to Lahore as unfit for further service and placed at the Delhi Gate of the city until 1870, when as previously noind it was removed to the present localit.
• The Kim's Gun or the Zamzama is very well known in International Scout circles and Rudyard Kipling in his famous story Kim has described the boy called Kim who spent his early bay hood, playing routhe famous Gun, called the Zamzama, now lying on the Mall, in front of the Lahore Museum.
• Kim had lots of adventures and his training in observation stood him in good stead, on many occasions. The founder of the Scout Movement immortalised Kim by accepting him as a great Scout character and instituting, after his name, a great Scout test for observation, in its many forms. With the association of Kim's name to this wonderful and historic can non, Kim has came to be known all over the world, and the Kim's Gun, as the Jamboree Empier, will therefore, be very appealing to all Scouts. One of the foreign visitors regarded Lahore, as the greatest Scout City in the world, to have given such a place of honour to the Gun, named after the famous Scout character, Kim. Thus this famous Kim's Gun is a great symbol of Scouting throughout the world and it has now been adopted as the Emblem for the 3 Pakistan National Jamboree.
