Most of this fibre comes from the Philliâ€" ‘pines, India and the East Indies. To !make sure they have enough rope on ‘hand to serve essential industries the Government has "frozen" all stocks of rope in Canada, and it will be imposâ€" | sible for the Troon or Pack to buy any more manilla or hemp rope. So be |careful of your supplies of ropeâ€"turn ‘in any ropes that are starting to fray at the ends, and don‘t use them until |they are properly whipped or backâ€" spliced. Make sure that any ropes loaned or borrowed are returned. Be icareful of your ropeâ€"A Scout is | Thrifty. A matter that has been vine centre of much interest during the past few weeks is the building of new lairs by the boys of the Sixth Pack. Latest reports were that they were all ready for painting and as soon as this is done it is expected other Pack Leaders won‘t lose much time in looking them over. It is hoped that similar projects will be undertaken by all Packs to create that allâ€"important jungle atmosphere. Routine business was conducted at the meeting of the Executive Commitâ€" tee PFriday evening. Reports were acâ€" cepted from the Various committees and members of the Executive were in_ vited to attend the Scouters‘ Club meeting on Wednesday. Camping was discussed briefly and left over to the next meeting when definite plans will be made for the summer activities. A ruling was passed that all Troop meet_ ings must close in time for all boys to be off the street by nine o‘vlock. This action was taken at the request of the Police Department. Troops and Packs are reminded to |send in for copies of the new cataâ€" \logue issued by Stores Department. | There is a possibility that this will be the last issue until after‘ the war, so |remind your boys to take care of their 1 copy. Activity reports have been coming in from Troops and Packs fairly well, but we wish to remind you that these must be in not later than Saturday evening in order to be published on Mondays. Check with your scribes to see that they are covering all activiâ€" ties and mentioning all matters of inâ€" terest to other groups and the general public. We wish to remind all leaders that in organizing your own mobilization scheme you keep in mind the fact that telephone service may be disrputed and other means will have to be used in getting your boys together. This is a good time of year to give your scheme a real test. If you haven‘t already done this you may find your time far from satisfactory, but practice should result in cutting several minutes from Till next week when we‘ll be back with more news and notes, Good Scout_ ing and Good Hunting. â€"DSM THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO Mr. Gordon Hallett Guest at Music Teachers‘ Meeting The regular monthly meeting of the Porcupine Branch of the Ontario Musâ€" ic Teachers Association was held in Studio D of the Radio Station on Monâ€" day evening, March 2nd, with Mr. E.W.

Dr. C. J.

Raise the head somewhat if the face is red; keep it level if the face is pale. 3. Give the victim no stimuâ€" lants, 4. Apply an ice cap if available to his head.
