THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE : ] and . (Notices By DON HOULDEN VISITS TO OTHER GROUPS © Assistant District Commissioner Mrs. "Dorothy Alker hit the nail on the head "the other night when she advocated "frequent visits to other Packs, Troops and Crews by leaders. I have found 'personally, as many leaders have, that smy Pack can oftimes be improved by "suggestions given at other Pack meet- "ings. This is just as true with respect "to Troops and Crews. I am sure that sany visit from other leaders would be .welcomed by Pack and Troops alike. 'How about dropping around to & "nelghourhood Pack next month, eh? 1 SCOUTER'S CLUB . Despite adverse weather conditions "Yeaders from all parts of Oshawa were Jout to draw up a plan of activities for 1948.

There is also a rumour that *Whitehood did better than the rest of the Leaders. I wonder whosé name "he drew? There is also a persistent ru- mour that Kim will get a rattle again "this year! ® + Akela was pleased to welcome Mr, Rialton to the Pack. Rialton, Craig's ~ father, is a welcome addition to the "parents of "B" Pack, and we hope that «he will come again to visit us. Everyone now has passed at least one » test since October. That is very splen- :did work. But let's make that chart on "the wall as red as fire before we have "our next Summer Holidays. Now--don't forget your food and - parcel next week and be in your best uniform and on time! And don't forget your dues!! AKELA, 11TH OSHAWA SCOUT NEWS The meeting opened at 7:30 with + Flag Break and prayers. Then our 8M inspected us. After some announce- « ments Darwin read the Log for the previous two meetings--forgetful Dar win!--and Lloyd read us the minutes of the last CO.H. Then we went to our patrol corners to mark the books. . _ Once again we were called to the horseshoe where Tom Sully, P.L. of the Lions, explained a game to us. We played this with all our hearts, for it counted marks in the competition. The Lions won--Ilucky fellows. Then we went to do some Scout work. The SM took all the Second Class boys--and those nearly through their Second Class--and began teach- ing us the Fireman's Badge. I guess «some of us had better hurry up and finish our Second Class or we'll forget our badge before we can try it. (That oes for me, too!) Tom Sully took all he rookies and taught them the Flag © with some interesting games, Kenn: Pipher was home nursing a thump broken while he was skiing; so Tom taught his Tookies, too. en we played a really new game. Our SM made it up; it was about the "Laws. Some of us were not so hot-- and not just the rookies either. Then re. played our popular smash and ng game of Boom-Coming-Over. It was nearly time to go home, so dur SM called us into the horseshoe a of our Ch camp, "OETNUINE ASPIR 1S MARKED THIS WAY ing | sorry to say, str dodge the ball), gave the boys a chance to warm up in the sub-zero atmos- here of the hall.

The hot air registers must be nearly full of dirt by now, which probably ex- plains the lack of heat in the hall. A camp is being planned for the Christmas holidays, so be sure to be on hand next Tuesday for full detalls, Yours in Scouting, DUKE KELLINGTON. 1ST OSHAWA SCOU> TROOP With 33 boys in attendance the meet- ing on Tuesday night was great suc- cess. The Christmas spirit must be get- ting a few of the boys because they have been azine about uniform prices, as gifts We think more of you who need uniform, should suggest this to your parents as a good present. You may also hint towards coples of "Ten- derfoot to King Scout" and P.O. and R. which can be purchased from Boy Scout H.Q. at 330 Bay St., Toronto. The next court of honour will be held in the near future when a lot of things of importance to the troop will be discussed. We are glad to see some of the fellows getting their second class signalling, because this has been holding som of you up too long. Now it really isn't hard is 1t? We see now that there are going to be a lot more badges passed when we have the older fellows to give the new boys a hand. o" war gave a few of the chaps more exercise than they have had for quite a while. The skipping didn't seem to bother some of the younger scouts, but the older ones will do well to borrow sister's rope and get in some much needed practice at home. For a last reminder, put the 'bee' on Mom and Pop for those scout items you need, because Santa only comes once a year. ASM, J. HARE, TH OSHAWA SCOUT NEWS The name "Pathfinder" once again has found its way to the 7th; in form of a messenger, helping all along by telling scouts little odds and ends worth observation and consideration. As the Editor stated it, "The paper has a four-fold purpose, those being: First, to bring the Scouts in our Troop closer together by giving them news of Patrol activities; Secondly, to give us a real pride in our Troop, growing from the fact that we know of very few Troops that publish their own paper; Thirdly, we think it will help in badge work by giving them hints on how to pass cer- tain badges, by people who know them; Lastly, springing from the fact that we would deeply appreciate receiving any article on an Scout toplc written by any Scout in the Troop, we think that it will give a number of Scouts a chance to express their ideas." Very well put mister Editor. The paper was discontinued some time ago for un- known reasons, but now under the pen of our S.M. it has made a new debut at the meetings. A.C.M. Eric Ridgen, so I understand is making a cover for its appearance in the future. Under the power of "Baldy," the weekly reporting from the patrols commenced-- 'Baldy' being from the Eagles. It is expected that the two page first edition will expand to several, pending contribu- tions from the patrol reporters. With Bud Bell doing the honours of the flag break, (only the flag didn't break under its own power), the meet- ing got on to a good start. Doug Mc- Kay, having recuperated from his little incident, turned up for the duties of T.L., along with Chuck Collard as A.S.M. The troop was then immediately called into circle formation for the assigning of duty patrol to any butter- fingers scout, Unfortunately for the Foxes, Arthur Beevor arrived In time to drop the flower pot. Art seemed a little surprised to learn that the pot broke after its ordeal. Last week the troop truck became active again in the collection of paper. Two boys made a successful day of Saturday last, and collected nearly 700 lbs. of paper from about seven calls, which shows that much paper has gathered in cellars again, and the .| ice cream with it. suggestion box next; trusting you will also say little nice things about him in it, and hoping at the same time that after you read this column, you at least know a little more than when you started out, I remain: SNOOPY. 4TH OSHAWA SCOUT NEWS If all reports are correct the Wolf Pack trip to Toronto was hyper, (Ac- cording to the A.S.M. that's a bit more super than super-dooper). 'These lucky lugs--Ken Whalley, Cornell Hutcheson, Jack Clark, Gary Copeland, Bill Taylor, Allan Crandall, Don Mallett and Bob Willoughby buzzed off last Saturday afternoon in "Mimi" the A.S.M.'s giddy old jallopy and had a swimming time in the tank as guests of Central Y.M.C.A. Hot showers, beautiful green water, Crandall, Mallett and Hutche- son passing first class swimming tests-- who's going to win the next contest? After this epoch-making event the gang tripped gally up to Toyland where Cornell Hutcheson, Bob Willoughby and someone else whose name Nosey couldn't get, went and saw Santa and had a little chat with him. Apparently these fellows want dolls for Christmas. Blonde ones and live ones preferably. Tut, tut, really fellows! After this the patrol invaded a restaurant and the A.8.M. talked a large table out of an obliging trio and all commenced feed- ing their faces, (The A.S.M.'s face got a little red when someone was 'over- heard remarking how unusual -to see anyone with so many sons). The way these guys put away food was weird and wonderful to behold, but Nosey hears the AS.M. put his foot down when Crandall wanted Boston Cream Ple a-la-mode. That's when you have Mallet after swim- ming 425 yards at the "Y" was a little, hungry and ate so much that when the crowd left the restaurant he lean- ed up against .the wall full of weight and his legs buckled under the strain and he landed on the sidewalk in the slush! A show in the evening and the buying out of a candy completed the adventure and all hope to win the giddy old contest next time for an- other spluge. Troop's meeting got under way 3 minutes late and Flash Holloway, our illustrious S.M. held forth regarding the ghastly mess made of flag break every week. After flag break all these bright young things who make up the inteligentsia (that's a nice word, eh?. of Oshawa Scouting knowns as the 4th troop, proceeded to pay??? their dues and then were duly inspected by the leaders, Nosey gives orchids to Roy Larmer for smartness this week and noticed most of the footwear was as dull as ditch water! Mr. Nicholson the ASM. was in a particularly vile mood this week. He went around all night, docking points and sweetly in- formed the troop, the Wolves had lost 7, the Owls 2, the Wild Goose 3, and the Lynx 6. Nasty thought. How man we win contests this way? The ASM. instructed Nosey to inform the Wolf Patrol that they had earned the title of "Litter Louts" this week as when he inspected corners after the meeting the Wolf was adorned with numerous small pieces of rope and with that an- gellc smile of his, the A.S.M, said this meant more points off! Whew!! The S.M. had a brainstorm and the result was a horrid mess called a compass game 'in: which everyone made clumsy of themeselves. As the rest of meeting contained nothing new and inspiring we'll let it go. Welcome to two newcomers, Tom Hill and Noel Quinn. About a dozen of our bright lads are going to the cabin for the week-end, so have a good time punks and pass some tests. Leatherwork is on Tuesdays and Fridays, remember, and the cabin is booked by the Lynx for Dec. 29-30-31, and by the Wolves, Jan. 2, 3, 4, The Owls are to try out Samac Dec. 29, 30, 31, What are Wild Goose doing? Patrol points as follows: Owls 25, Wolves 31, Wild Goose 29, Lynx 29. This is after Mr, Nicholson got ( through). Nosey and the troop wish to thank our Mothers Anxiliary for the super brand new basketball they have just bought for us. This drivel must now cease with this week's question: "Where did Allan Crandall get that lovely curl and who is it for?" , THINE NOS (And the nose knows). P.S.--Meeting Tuesday this week. HomeMaking Club Demonstrates At W.I. Meeting Maple Grove, Dec. 11--The re- gular meeting of Maple Grove Women's Institute decided that the Girls home-making club sponsored by this Institute under the leadership of Mrs. Alex Sands and Miss Mildred Snowden are to report their meetings. Mrs, Clifford Swallow, official three-day delegate to the area convention held in Toronto in November, in her fine report, stressed the fact that area con- vention conveners are not satis- fied with reports sent in from the branches, more information is asked for, Women must face responsibilities resolutely in na- tional atfairs. Problems facing women are the same in all coun- tries. Resolutions pa-sed dealt with sex perverts, Juvenile delinquen- cy, postage on parcels of food to overseas and calfhood vacci- nation, Miss Lewis, Superintend- ent of Institutes for Ontario bringing news from the Amster- dam conference with several oth- er outstanding speakers gave W. I. members much inspiration for the tasks ahead. Girls Thome-making Club work demonstrated at the convention was greatly enjoyed, In the pro- gram, 35 young girls in beauti- ful costumes delighted the gath- ering in choral singing and a very fine exhibition of Danish folk dancing was staged by eight BACKACHE The Plague of The outdoor man, whether he be farmer, truck driver, or railway operator, is often subject to backache. This may be the result of exposure to cold and dampness or the result of strain from the jolting and bumping of the vehicle he rides. To many people, women as well as men, it would be great to be free of backache--one of the most common and annoying of ailments. And here is how you may be relieved of back- ache and other symptoms of poisons in the blood. Dr. Chase' Outdoor Men The treatment suggested is Dr. Chase's Kidney Liver Pills. By reason of their stimulating action on both the liver and kidneys, you have two chances to one of getting relief from your backache by using Dr. Chase's Pills. The $orbid liver is aroused to action, the kidneys are stimulated and consequently these organs help to purify the blood of the poisonous impurities which bring pains and aches and tired feelings. Kee rogular and keep well by using RC e's Kidney Liver Pills. 115 Kidney S -- Liver out of town Danish folk, Mrs. W, H, Brown, agriculture and Canadian Industries conven- er in charge of the program in- troduced Mr. E.

Mr. Summers criticized some plantings around homes as out of balance or over done, empha- sized good planting and showed what improvements can be made around homes in a short time when the effort is made to so do.
