The practice of giving double points for uniform when worn in full, beâ€" ing tried out by Akela Wright of the First Pack, seems to be‘ producing the desired results. He reports that geiiâ€" eral inspection has been very favourâ€" able of late and the wearing of uniâ€" form is receiving new interest. , A new game, ‘"In and Out the Pond," was played and went over very well with all The last indoors session cf the‘ curâ€" rent iPatrol Leaders‘ Training Course was completed last Saturday evening in the Moneta School basement. The Patrol Leaders were honoured ~by a visit from District Commissioner Caldâ€" bick and President Lawry ‘of the Local Association. Both gentlemen . spoke briefly to the ‘boys, encouraging them in their work and urging them to take advantage of all training sffered. These boys, it was pointed out, are the future leaders of Timmins, or wherever they may be, and the training they receive now will make their future efforts Just, that much easier and better. During the evening a study of mapâ€"making and mapâ€"reading was conducted.. Scouter Lucciantonio presented several games to the Course. Due to the Anâ€" nual Display to be held this weekâ€"end, the overnight hike was postponed. Scoutmasters of all: Troops will be adâ€" vised of the plans for ‘this hike‘ and. they. in turn will pass them. along to. their bovs. Withâ€"theâ€"fine weather we have been having it is planned ‘to conâ€"â€" duct outdocr activities such as mapâ€" ping and estimations during the hike. A visit to the basement of the Monâ€" eta School, headquarters of the Fifth Troop, revealed that they were not goâ€" ing into the wood business but iwere practicing their bridge building be presented ‘next Friday evening. We believe that the boys will hate to take the project down again after the show. Perhaps someone may be found who is in need of a firstâ€"class bridge. Packs and Troops are again remindâ€" ed that all entries for the Display must be in the hands of the committee in charge at the Hall not later than Wedâ€" nesday afternoon and evening to reâ€" ceive the entries as they are brought in. minds of allâ€"right now is which will be the iPack and Troop taking the high honours in the competition, and which Troop will have the privilege of taking the Drew Trophy home with them, to be theirs for the year ahead. Will it be the First Troop again, or will one of the: other Troops be the cause of a blank space on the wall of the office of the Chairman of the PFirst Group Ccommittee?: ‘These questions will all be answered on the evening of Friday, April 10, in the basement of St. Anâ€" thony‘s Church. ters during the week. The sale of tickets is already showing satisfactory results and it is hoped that by: the middle of the week all will have been sold. The question uppermost in the work â€"to be presented to the public. All â€"Cub Packs plan to hold a final reâ€" hearsal of their presentation on Wedâ€" nesday evening at St. Anthony‘s Hall while the Troops will be getting toâ€" gether at the various Troop headquarâ€" As we come into the week of our Filth Annual Cub and Scout Display, a glance over the organization shows us that all is pretty well in readiness. Packs and Troops are putting the finâ€" ishing touches on hobbies and displays, model campsites to be entered in the competition for the Drew Trophy art nearly all completed, and the various Packs and Troops have had one or several meetings together to practice for the displays of Cub and SBcout insulate your house by applying Genuine B.P; Any good carpenter The First Troop meeting last Friday evening was devoted largely to preâ€" paring for the Display, although Scoutâ€" ‘er Morgan did. find time to straighten ‘several Tenderféet out on the question of names cof knots., It wouldn‘t turn ‘out so well if someone were to use the ‘clove hitch for the bowline. Amnesia | must â€"~be ‘contagious because the First now reports several cases within their ranks. However, the deductive powe‘s _cf the patrols soon determined who the victims. were and they were taken care of. The Troon went out for a hike, on Saturday morning and al-i though attendance was small a good time was had by all. Hilford Reid passed his Second Class Cooking. In the knotâ€"tving competition the Wolves won the first game and the Beavers the . second and third, leaving the Eagles out in the cold. Further pracâ€" First and Sixth Packs held a joint meeting last week under the direction of Akela Gallagher, assisted by Akela Wright and Wanda Atkinson. There were 0 Cubs present and some interesting games were played.. The first was an introduction game to acâ€" quaint the boys with one another, and music for this, game was supplied by Sixer Wales at the piano. The Dance of Kaa was attempted and went over quite well considering the large number of boys taking part. Akela‘s story at Red Flcwer heid the interest of the boys throughout. Everyone enjoyed the meeting and are looking forward to the next one which will be held im the woods. 1 __The Second Timmins Troop held their usual Saturday morning meeting at the Whelpdale Rocks, which has beâ€" come a favourite spot for them to meet. Material for pioneer work was preparâ€" ed and the Troop practiced lashing and knotting. ~Games..of "Storm the Citaâ€" del" and Stalking were played but the deer proved to be too alert for most of the boys. The Beaver Patrol was out at full strength, but both the Wolves and the Eagles had members missing. One day soon these patrols will be out at full strength too and then we‘ll see if the Beavers will be able to have everything their cwn way. Easter and hocliday activities resultâ€" ed in the cancellaticn of several Pack and Troop meetings last week, but the time was well spent by these groups in preparing displays. Games on knots and the Union Jack featured the meeting of the Fourth Pack last Monday evening, and some time was also spent in preparing for the Annual Display. Raymond Desâ€" jardins passed his first proficiency star and buttonhole badges were,presented to the Cubs wearing uniform. Tickets for the Display were given to the boys who will have no trouble in placing them with interested parents and friends. Becond Class tests. Bill Wherle has been appointed Troop Treasurer and Tom j becomes the new Troop Beribe. e Capeless and Tom Brown have been teaching semaphore signallâ€" Ing to the Trcop and several new games were introduced by Scouter Basciano who visited the meeting.

Saving money, practised by thousands of thrifty depositors has a similar effect: It helps to keep prices from soaring by decreasing the demand for nonâ€"essential, peaceâ€"time commodities.
