'Notices By DON HOULDEN As e of my associates know, I have a fflend or rather pen-pal living in Franle at Montbeliard. In the course of my many letters to him I have asked him to send me several news- papers of that region and of Paris. The other day I received a large ship- ment of them Last night I started to read one of them in particular, one peper called "Cité Fraternelle," a weekly covering the districts of Belfort in tern France, alui lo and behold, what should I run across than a mention of French cessrul Clup Leader Preparatory Course held the last two week-ends either at the Hillcroft or the Athol Street Scout headquarters. all reports the course was a big success, and this 1s due entirely to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Buesnel and Mrs. D. Alker, who put all they had into their work. As for the fun of the course, Timmy Gil- well (C.M, Fred Warburton) seemed to have everything pat with his genuine smiles and laughs. The last night of the course, which was held at the Athol Street headquarters was devoted entirely to games, songs and square dances, This gave everyone a chance to limber up alter the rather muscle- trying work had been concluded. Big spot in the whole course was the pre- sentation of toggles to the courses Red Six, whose sixer is, believe it or not, Sixer (Cubmaster) Fred Warburton of Whitby. Congratulations and orchids, etc, to you, Red Six! EASTER WEEK-END Easter week-end will be quite an event at Camp, with a great many Troope and Packs and Crews present. Camp Warden Clyde Saunders and wife will have their hands full of energetic Scouts, Cubs and Rovers. Every clump of bushes will hide some stalking group, and every tree will hold a sig- nalling station, The creek will be bridged in a number of places and correct estimations Rd JSRYihing of any sizer will have t noon and evening the hale air will be laden with sweet smells of cooking meats and stews, mixed with fragrant aromas of different woods. ar be on your guards Here we go again 8TH OSHAWA hn CUB 'PACK K NEWS The meeting opened in a real spring | spirit with the raln pouring down, Surprisingly snodgh, everyone but John Humphreys and Garry Fluke were pre- sent in uniform. The meeting opened with Grand Howl and Inspection, Dues, again, We played several games of Pass the Ball--except that we used four boxing gloves. This was followed by about ten minutes of floor hockey. Tests passed during the week or at the meeting were: Flag, by Eddie White, Jack Nicholls, Bil "Towns, and repassed by Lloyd Scott; Tenderfoot First Ald, by Bill Towns; Law and Pro- mise repassed by Lloyd Scott and Ken Fisher; Tenderfoot Knots, repassed by Lloyd Scott. Bill Towns has now com- pleted his Tenderfoot, and is preparing himself for his Investiture. On Saturday the Beavers and the Lions went out hiking. This seems to be Tom Sully's and Ken Pipher's idea of patrol hiking: 1, Hike away from home until you are too tired to go any farther; 2, Eat; 3, You are now too full to feel like moving and too tired to be able to move; 4, NOW hike all the way home, and hurry because we are late. Some time after six Ron and Buddy staggered into the SM"s house to re- port that rookie Eric Buss' fried pota- toes were simply terrible. Eric was not the least bit worried about it; this was his third hike and he has com- Dleted his hiking test, even though he as not finished his Tenderfoot yet. He will go along on our other hikes just for the fun and "exercise." Saturday night we had a Court of Honor at the SM's house. When the business was done, we had cocoa and cookies, and played Droopsnoot and Pig. After gazing across the Council Table for a couple of hours at Doug Girard"s shirt, tle and blazer, we are thinking of wearing Scout uniform after this. Eut the SM's tie was just as horribly grue- some. HO HUM. Bm 4TH WOLF CUB PACK On the call from Raksha, the lights were dimmed and the Cubs silently A LAW By Al iL Fase) and Harry Shorten IJ) THERE!
