Page 2, News, Tuesday, September 10 1991 New stackwall cabin for White Scout camp The Boy Scouts' new stackwall cabin at White Sand Lake is nearing completion. Terrace Bay Boys Scouts are nearing completion of the stack wall cabin they have been building at White Sand Lake. The concrete slab for the 32 foot by 28 foot build- ing was laid last fall and volunteers have been work- ing on the building itself since June. The walls of the building, constructed by stacking logs set in masonry on top of each other, will be ten feet high. The logs used in construction have been cut from telephone poles provided by Bell Canada and Thun- der Bay Bell. Based on logs with a one foot diameter, approximately 12 long cords of wood have been used in the construction. The cabin will have a gambrel roof which will provide a loft for sleeping quarters. The building is on eight and a half acres of land owned by the Terrace Bay Boys Scouts and will by used by Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Guides in the area. The new building, with a woodstove for heat and a gas range for cooking, will allow the children in the Scouting and Guiding programs to camp year round. This project was made possible through grant of $22,500 from Wintario, help in the form of materials from Ontario Hydro, Township of Terrace Bay, Min- nova, Bell Telephone, Thunder Bay Bell, and the work of volunteers. Local contractors also assisted in reconstructing the road to the camp. More help is needed if this unique and interesting project is to be finished this fall. Call Warren Pearn 5-3547, Dave Kaizer 5- 3689 or Karen Ramsay 5-9469. Scout Devin Pearn holds up one of the logs used in construction of the cabin. Christian and Devin Pearn help their Dad, Scoutmaster Warren Pearn unload wood.

If you decide that is what you would like for your family, then here are a few pointers towards picking the right dog. Look for a dog who will be medium sized, 20-40 pounds, with. short to medi- um length hair. See if the upper and lower jaws are the same size and if the teeth fit well together. Does the animal move normally or does it swing its hips from side to side? This can be a sign of hip dyspla- sia. What colour is the coat? White dogs carry more genetic problems. , Watch to see how the dog 'acts. Is it aggressive, cling- ' ing, fearful or hyperactive? | Avoid these types of person- alities. Make sure the eyes are clear of any infection and not runny. Move your hands over the dog or puppy to check for sores, infections or bumps that could be a hernia. Choose the dog who is friendly and listens attentive- ly to. your voice..:-~. TH Rea
