The meeting of the Scouters‘ Club held on Wednesday evening of last week dealt at some length with phn.s‘ for the coming annual Cub and Scout Display. â€" As previously mentioned, several departures from past practices will be made, the main one being that the Display will be held on one evenâ€" ing only, Friday. April 10. The usual displays of hobbies will be made, and all Packs and Troops will take part in displays of Scoutcraft, taking the place of the entertainment that has been presented in past years. The purpose behind his move is to give interested persons a better idea of the activities and accomplishments of Packs and Troops, and also to give boys an oapporâ€" tunity of witnessing the work of other groups. The Commitltefe ganize and prom as follows: Display â€" Comit Caldbick, Scouter and A. Wright. Advertising Committee â€" Mr. A. J. Brown, Sqouters Basciano and Hulme. Sales Committee â€" Mr. L, Cousins, Scouters H. Atkinson and J. Herbert. Hobbies Committeeâ€"Mr. Cousineau, Scouters G. Bouchard, Mrs. Gallagher, G. Simpson and J. DelGuidice. These Committees will be meeting this week to organize their particular activities, and a joint meeting will be held within a short time to coâ€"ordinate the work of all committees. It has been decided to again conduct an advertising poster contest between all Packs and all Trsops. In past years this contest has resulted in some very creditable efforts on the part of the bow; and the same encouraging results ars looked for this year. This contest will be under the supervision of the Advertising Committee, and the followâ€" ing specifications have been laid, down: The posters must be in black and white, on card 10" by 14", and giving the place, time, admission price and date of the Display. Prizes of a Scout shirt THURSDAY, MARCH 19TH, 1942 place, time, admission price and date of the Display. Prizes of a Scout shirt and a Cub sweater or their equivalent are offered for the best poster subâ€" mitted. Further information on this next week. The Drew Trophy will be offered again this vear for competition for the best model campsite entered in > the Display. «At the present time the troâ€" phy is held by the First Troop. Alâ€" though all Troops had real campsites last summer, the «conditions existing: in the joint cam»n» imade judging imâ€" possible. However, the trophy in future will beeawarded the Troop having the best aofil during their sumâ€" mer activities, and, the model campsite Will prob@bly have their own class in Displays. Model campsites must be made by the bovs themselves with a mind to the following rules. Size must not exâ€" ceed four by five feet. It must be built along nonâ€"permanent lines, have acâ€" commodations, for 32 bovs for a period of ten davs, and be so constructed that it may be dismantled and moved withâ€" out difficulty. The model campsites will be judged on Gilwell standards. As a means of giving Groups an cpportunity to continue their work in preparation for the Display, the folâ€" lowing list of classes is given: woodâ€" carving, woodâ€"work (not school work), hirdhouses, baskets, baking and conâ€" fectionery, knot boards, manâ€"making (1st Class and Pathfinders), collections, art, scrap books, stamp books, crystal sets, fret work, aeroplanes (scale and flying), totem poles (four feet and over), linoleum block work, leather work, modplllng photography, knickâ€" nacks andi model All enâ€" tries must be new, not entered in preâ€" vious shows, Activity" in passing tests was again evident gt the Sixth Pack during their last meéeting. "The boys are now able to send and "rccelve words in Semaâ€" plhore, anda,all have now passed their hopping t:?. Cubs passing their timeâ€" reading â€" were Darrell McLaughlin, Jiimnmy l]san Lawrence Vedal and Raymond Pigeon. First Aid has also been playving its part and a number of bovs are now ready to pass their tests. Flans are being made for the visit ef the First Timmins Pack on April 1. The Fifth Troop was among those that had csmall attendances due to school hockey, but no time was lost by those bovs who were out. Nick Mores completed ‘his Second Class tests, Bill McKnight his Kim‘s Game and Henry @Grocco his Second ‘Class signalling, and Scouts pace. ASM J. Luccianâ€" BMonio passed all these tests. Scouter Committees appointed to orâ€" and promote the Display are 1832 ee â€" Commissioner Father Callaghan in lashing a ing to see ® nual Display The bad storm was responsible for small attendance at most meetings during the early part of the week. The Fourth Pack meeting was among these, but several tests were passed. Arthur Boisvert, Gabriel Blain, Omer Carbonâ€" near, Rodolphe Tremblay and Charles Theriault passed their physical exerâ€" cise tests and YÂ¥von Butler and Edouard Fournier their flags. Hubert Desjarâ€" dins was successful in passing his knots. (110 YEARS) The Beaver Patrol of the Second Troop were successful in taking the honours in signalling baseball, but they didn‘t fare so well in the knotâ€"tying relay and pinâ€"ball. We‘re glad to see the other patrols didn‘t let them away with their fiving start. Bob Allworth passed his ropeâ€"whipping and Martin McDowell the compass. The joint meeting, of the First and Fifth Packs was very successful, The feature of the evening was the quiz conducted by the leaders. Although there is no definite information on this, it is rumored that the Fifth walkâ€" ed away with all the honours. Perhaps we will hear more of this. It wouldn‘t be like the First to take a beating sitting down. If anvone was near St. Anthony‘s Hall last Friday evening and if the bees were coming out for the summer, we would like to say that it was only the Eighth Troop practicing on their Morse buzzers. Attendance was small, due again to school hockey, and the evening was spent in reviewing tests. The usual meeting was conductâ€" ed in Proficiency Badges were discussâ€" ed. It was nbointed out that these: badges were not offered just to enable Scouts to load their arm with them, but to help us find the type of activity we are suited for, and to enable us to fit ourselves for our place in the world. We must all be sure that if we wear a badge we are qualified to do so, and that our interest will not end with Ithe winning of the badge. The Sixth Troop held their weekly meeting in the Lion‘s Club Hall on Thursday evening. Scouters Ormston and Doolan were present and considerâ€" able work was done. The feature of the evening was the investiture of Don Ritz who became a fullâ€"fledged Scout by taking the Scout Promise. Henry McLean made anplication to join the Troop and was accepted by the Court of Honour for a vrobationary period of four weeks. ‘This practice is followed with all boyvys wishing to join, and the Court of Honour is pleased with the results of this rule. The Patrol Leaders‘ Training Course is now nearing the home stretch and from indications there should saon be quite a number of Patrl Leaders wearâ€" ing the bronze arrcwhead on their shoulder knot. Talks on the responâ€" sibilities of the Court of Honour and hints on signalling were given by the leader. In a game of Poison Circle two of the P.L.‘s battled it out with Scoutâ€" er Lucciantonio. It was called a draw but we suspect that if it had gone on a few minutes longer the P.L.‘s would have been the winners. The Wolf Patrol scored quite a number of points in a signalling game, and have Clifâ€" ford Ellies to thank for them. The other P.L.‘s need some practice if they want to stay in the same class with Clifford. The canteen being conducted by the First Troop at the Timmins Arena is producing good results and several dolâ€" lars have already been made for their BP. Chinsâ€"utp Fund. The season is nearing an end but they expect to add considerable before it is officially closâ€" ed. CGood work, {ellows. edge on the hiking activitiee these days. Hardly a week goes by without the Troop being out in the bush, and we are wondering where this cabin is they speak of. That‘s the kind of news we like to hear, fellows. Scouting was never intended to be conducted as an indoor programime Scouting we have open spaces. The by Hon.

Mr. Thorson. We would like to impress upon all leaders the importâ€" ance of having your Scouts know conâ€" tinued progress through the ranks, 'right up to that of King‘s Scout. wWhat finer reward could be asked for our efforts than to know that we enabled our bovs to fit themselves for a place in the world that would be a credit to themselves and a source of pride to the Scout movement generally. hard to think of a better foundation for a young man who wishes to serve in the armed forces of his country than that he should pass through the various Scout ranks to that of First Class and then King‘s Scout . . . The tests of these badges are real tests the final one for Pirst Class being a 24â€"hour journey to prove the lad‘s ability to find his way by compass and camp, to bivouac, to camp, to cook, and to generally live off his own resources." Keep the reports of Pack and Troop activities rolling in, and we will be back with more next week. Another meeting of the C W S.F. took place Wednesday night at the armorâ€" ies Instruction in map reading were given by Sgt.â€"Major Adams of the Algonquin Regt. ~ 5 dhe YE “‘5\’--\1“--- CE Last night was the beginning of the Air Raid Warden training. The first step in this very important work was the instructions in prevention against gases. The basic training for this is the use and care of the respirator. Mrs. A. Bound and Miss A. Boyle have tendered resignations from the CWISF. in lieu of being called for active service The members of the CWS.P. also wish to express their regrets at the departure of Sgt. Larry Melville who has in the nast given much valuable assistance and we all wish him the best of luck in his new duties. “’-fa.kmg“the liberty to speak for the‘! soldiers on active service who have reâ€" turned home on leave, we wish to exâ€"| press a very deep appreciation of the | kind gesture of the Timmins Theatre Managers in allowing the soldiers, sailors and airmen to attend their| theatres free of charge. It is of oux"| opinion that no other community exâ€" cepting Kirkland Lake has extended this very patriotic gesture. Solqaiers, sailors and airmen visiting Timmins are overwhelmingly â€" surprised _ and pleased to find that the Timmins theatres and the McIntyre Arena allow them entry without charge. When the CWS.F. approached the theatre manâ€" agers last fall, they without second thought extended this courtesy to men on active service. We were very sorry to learn that there was anyone in this community who had not yet learned of this very active part that the Timmins Theatres and our beautiful MciIntyre Arena are playving in the war effort. | Orders * 1. Absolutely no wearing of uniforms except on official business. 2. 5e fee to be paid every Friday night. 3. Attendance every Wednesday and Friday night at 8 p.m. 4.

For changes in weather, slight accidents, varied enâ€" tertainment and possible fatigue all call for specifics, as does thne ordinary care of one‘s beauty. Perhaps this is whyv cosmetic kits have grown so in favour during the past few years, and perhaps this is why cosmetic firms keep improving the styles and contents of these kits. The meticulous beauty so0n discovers that one of these little bags with mirrored cover and room enough to hold all the aids which make grooming a delightful and thorough affair, is the lonly angwer to easy jaunting. For let‘s list the aids most of us use ldaily: a good soap and face cloth or complexion brush; a cleansing cream, softening cream, hand lotion, nail !brush, manicure aids, powder, lipstick lrouge and possibly powder foundation Then face tissues to preserve linen. 2 tooth brush and pasts, mouthwash anc rouge and possibly powder foundation. Then face tissues to preserve linen. a tooth brush and pastse, mouthwash and perhaps an eve wash. Some women use a skin freshener or astringent and always have handy a tube or jar of| medicated, healing cream case a blemish pops up. Add to these ones brush and comb, curlers or bobby pins and night net, and we have a good many aids to fit into any one bag. And do not think for a moment that you can get along without half of these when you are away from home. Ten to one during the first eight hours you will yearn for those you left behind. ’ _ Buy Sturdy Case These cosmetic cases which are callâ€" ed "weekâ€"enders," come for all prices, but if you can, buy A sturdy one of good, genuine leather, a little larger than the size you think you need! Why? Once you begin galavanting, my pet, you will add to the above list and there will be times when you will want this one bag alone to serve yOu overnight. Then you will want to pack your night clothes, a freshn pair of hose and a change of undies. They take space you know, so allow for such an |emergency. I * _ We hope it will not be necessary to seek air raid shelters, but if it is necesâ€" sary to do so, girls will find these small bags most serviceable, for they can hold a light lunch, a book or game or any other thing: which might make the visit to the shelter more bearable. It doesnt hurt to be prepared for any emergency these daysâ€"even our wWar tasks might call us away from home nights or cause us to take hurried trips here and there. : (Released by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.)
