In winning this race, the owner must have attained a record for speeding in running a baby carriage. The "autos" were so made as to require one boy to sit in the vehicle, "while the other pushed it along from behind. Those people who missed the race certainly missed a lot of good, clean fun.

Gets Back Nickel Lost Six Years Ago An interesting and amusing story came from North Bay last week. In 1931 at Timmins a little girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Bert Smith and shortâ€" ly aftter the youngster‘s birth the fathâ€" er in honour of his baby girl took a new fiveâ€"cent piece, Grilled a hole through it, and by use of a piece Oof narrow ribbon hung it around the child*s neck as a charm or souvenir. In September of the same year the nickel was lost from the baby‘s neck, the loss being likely confined to Kirby avenue, Timmins. The sequel to this little story took place last week at North Bay where Mr. and Mrs. Smith were spending a vacation. In the Empire hotel on Monday afternoon among the change given Mr. Smith he noted a fiveâ€"cent piece that looked familiar. On examination he was satisfied it was the coin lost on Kirby avenue, six years ago. It was the same date, had the same drill hole, and also other private marks that made it certain that this was the lost coin. As the Empire hotel is owned by Timmins people the coinâ€" cidence is all the more interesting, while Pete and Leo may expect some humorâ€" ous kidding as to whether they picked up any nickels in September of 1931 on Kirby avenue, and if so, will they please return the ribbon also. P.S.â€"So far as can be learned, there isn‘t a Scotsman in this story anywhere â€"which, somehow, doesn‘t seem right.

Falls and Ansonville. fa year ago, virtually no progress has |been made by those in charge of preâ€" ‘parations for the event. Some authoriâ€" ties say that it is very doubtful whether Japan can make the necessary preparaâ€" tions in time. Tennis There is an old saying that a fair exchange is no robbery, and this goes for the Allâ€"England tennis tournament which has just closed, when the exâ€" changes were made between England and the United States. In the ladies‘ singles there was a great upset when Miss Dorothy Round of England beat the great Jadwiga Jedrzejowska of Poland in the finals Saturday after a great battle in three sets, Gâ€"%2, 2â€"6, 7â€"5. England in won. Miss Round has had a hard struggle this year to get into her stride and has only won one tournament up to going into the above tournament and she was not expected to go very far in the preliminary rounds. But she surâ€" prised the best of critics and knocked off the defending champion from the throne and went on to win it. Mme. Simone Mathieu, France, and Miss Adeline Yorke, of England, won the women‘s doubles Saturday by deâ€" feating Mrs. P. Mudford King and Miss Joan Pittman. There will be the odd tournament from now on until the Davis Cup interâ€" zone matches start on July 17, 19 and 20, with the finals on July 24, 26 and 27. Don Budge says his abmition is to take back the Davis Cup. At the rate he is going there is every likelihood he will do it. The British have selected the folâ€" lowing players to defend the Davis Cup:. H. W. Austin, Chas. Hare, G. P. Hughes and C. D. R. Tuckey. Henley Regatta Canada lost the Diamond Sculls final Saturday when J. Hasenohrl of Ausâ€" tria beat Johnny Coulson, Canada. The doubles also went when Budge and Mako pal G. P. Hughes and C. D.

Peter Kane, who won a decisive vicâ€" tory last Monday over Petit Biquet in a charity affair, has now Challenged the French bantamweight champion for his title. Titâ€"Bits The local fans were treated to a new kind of a race last Friday when three heats and a final had to he run to pick the winner as there were so many enâ€" tries. Yes it was the soapbox derby put on by the Lions Club. Scotty Wilson (not the local "Scotâ€" ty‘") was K.O.‘d while refereeing a fight at St. Catherines. It is reported that he tried to part the two fighters when he stopped a wild swing that laid him out and he was taken to hospital for treatâ€" ment. Since Japan won the honor of playing host to the next Olympic Games, nearly Boxing Mike Jacobs seems to have his hands full trying to promote the next fight for Louis.

Small Montana is going chance at Lou Ambers‘ title future. It is understood at the present that the fight between Schmeling Japan May Not be Able to Prepare for Olympic Games World‘s Sport Evenis: the present time to have a in the near she surâ€" knocked from the Be sure your camp fires are well planned and executed. Doesn‘t that sound as if I were talking to only the' Scoutmasters? Oh no, it‘s not only| the Scouter‘s job but yours too. You: may be called on as a Patrol or a Six/ to conduct the programme for an eveâ€", ning. Remember that it is to the memâ€"| ories of camp fires you fellows will turn , to most in the yvears to come. Continuingzg from last wieck‘s chat about camp programmes, the last but not least: Camp Fires. Develcp a regular ceremony for your camp fires, one with a real meaning to your brother Scouts. And when the flames soar, upward break into songs that will fit the mood, put on stunts and dramatics, get the fellows who nave specialties such as solo singing, or musiâ€" cal abilities to do their stuff, get the "editor‘" to ‘"‘edit‘" ‘the single copy of the camp‘s not too serious newspaper, have a couple of appropriate camp fire games, such as Indian Hand wrestling, leg wrestling, or Buzzing the Bee. Then a story or two, and finally the good night song and the traditional closing. But don‘t stick to the same proâ€" gramme night after night. "Variety is the spice of life," they say. Well, that holds true for camp fires also. So why not one night a Tall Story Camp Fire, with the telling of Paul Bunyon or John Henry or even taller stories, the crown teller of the tallest story the Champion Tall Story Teller ‘of your gang. Or try an Indian Camp Fire. The boys will arrive at Camp Pire in Indian File, stripped to the wast but covered with a blanket, and made up with war paint and feathers to take part in a programme of Indian ceremonies, songs, and dances, and stories. A surprise camp fire which is certain to be a hit can be staged on the lake. Construct a raft (of empty oil cans and board)>. Cover it with a two inch layer of dirt and build your fire on this. Anchor the raft well out in the lake and gather around it in boats or on rafts for a programme of sea chanties. And finally as you come to your last Council fire, be sure to lift out some o{[ its ashes with proper ceremony. They will take their place in the Patrol‘s museum of tradition as a appropriate souvenir of a successful camp. Of interest to several Scouters here will be the Rover Moot to be held at Bald Lake near Peterborough July 31st, August lst and 2nd, and the Rover Leaders‘ Training Course which follows it. Perhaps some will find themselves quite handy to it while holidaying in the south. If you think you might be, get your application in soon to Provinâ€" cial Headquarters as already I have mine accepted and have received a small pamphlet about it. The cost of the course will be figured on a pooled expense system (less and should not prove very expensive, if any are interested in taking it. And left out of last weeks column was mention of the Flying Up Cereâ€" mony of the Timmins Girl Guides Asâ€" sociation. This ceremony is the equivaâ€" lent of the Goingâ€"up Ceremony from the Cub Pack to the Scout Troop only it is from the Brownie Pack to the Guide Company. Representing the Scout Association were Mr. McLean, our president, Mr. Morris, former Akela of the 2nd Wolf Cub Pack and Bob Morin and Bill Dawson who acted as "stage hands", and myself.

The startingâ€"point â€" was ,just ito the north of the bridge and the. bnats raced from there to the south of th ”; pavilion, circled a buoy an turned to the starting point.
