The guests gathered at Sim¢oe St. United Church about five-thirty and when all had ar. rived they were invited to the school room which presented a gay appearance with the tables prettily decked with bright greem table. cloths, silver baskets filled with Autumn leaves and an abundance of good things to eat. When all were seated a song of welcome, which had been composed for the occasion was sung by a few ladies of the Oshawa club. For the next half hour or so, the com. pany paid strict attention to the delicious supper and when all were satisfied, Mrs, Anderson, president of the Oshawa club, in a very gra- clous manner welcomed the visi- tors. She also gave a short outline of the work their club purposes to take up this season, Form Federation Mrs. Anderson then called on Miss Gladys Westaway, president of the Port Hope club, to say a few words and she also told of the work their club were doing and suggested that an effort be made to form a federation of Music Clubs, This was followed by Miss Florrie Galbraith, of the Bowmanville Club, who moved a vote of thanks for the splendid entertainment pro- vided hy the Oshawa club, Miss Galbraith also suggested that the music clubs endeavour to interest the younger people in the study of music and told of what had been done with the deaf children at the Belleville school, Mrs, J.

Three of Osh- awa's regulars had to be taken out on account of injuries. Oshawa showed more aggressive- ness in the third period but Bow- manville's line held. Devitt's boot- ing and James' fine tackling at the touchline, accounted for the three points, Bellet and Jamieson start- ed at outside wing for Bowmanville and tackled with great accuracy, Hicks, and Bradd's tackling for Oshawa kept the score down. Ars mour of Oshawa and Colmer of Bowmanville made some nice runs, The line-up was as follows: Oshawa Position Bowmanville Little Snap Candler Leckie Inside Cowan Grefleman Inside Greenaway Myers Middle Buckley Black Middle Colmer Outside Jamieson Outside Bellet Flying Wing Adams Quarter J, L.

Ten weeks tills Christmas and we hope all Scouts are busy thinking of the Toy planned for this year. first time in Oshawa's Scouting history a toy shop will be in Speration this year, and every member of the nization is asked to be prepared to do his share, Boys are reminded that they are to be in search for old discarded toys that may be in their homes. The purpose of this shop will be to renovate old and broken toys and prepare them, by repairing and inting, for distributing to the poor amilies' children. This work is sim- ple enough in itself but the joy brought to otherwise unhappy child- ren more than pays for the work ev en if it were a hundred times more difficult, iscarded Toys Not only Scouts may help with this work but the general public as well. Nearly every home has a corner either in the attic or basement where numerous toys and trinkets have found a resting place, after having been discarded. Surely the few min- utes spent in collecting them will be well spent when one considers the pleasure brought go some child by these toys after tlf® Scouts have fin- ished dressing them up anew. Those wishing to help this work should collect old toys, broken or otherwise, and telephone S/M RH. Terrett (1119W) or any other Scout Master and these toys will be' called for. A Visiter The members of the Scouting or- ganization are being honored this week with a visit from Field Secrc. tary Paddon from Provincial Head. quarters. Each Troop will be visited by him and will no doubt benefit greatly by his remarks. A rousing welcome will be paid him, by each Scout and we hope every boy takes to heart what he says. His visit is for the express purpose of strength- ening the existing Troops and of pav- ing the way for a bigger and more energetic movement in Oshawa. May his visit not be in vain.
