C th Second Troop Holds Regular Stalking Practice From the way they are going stalking and tracking this year, if the Second Troop gets on anyone‘s trail it‘s to be taken for granted that they couldn‘t escape if they wanted to. Last week ‘the entire troop under Scouter Harris went out to the vicinity of the Whelpdale Rocks where the regular meeting â€".was held. Two of the older Genauts laid a trail through the bush foot showed a number of "weak sisters" in class,|that department, but we know that the number of Bcouters| Neil won‘t let that happen again.

Another reason for celebration was the securing of the services of Miss I..ePage' as assistant leader. During the evenâ€". ing the competition was very keen, being based on inspection and games.{ The A Pack were the winners of the evening, but B Pack say that doesn‘t mean a thing and will show while at camp that they can‘t be beaten. A number of tests were passed at the meeting, special attention being given to signalling. C. Berini, H. Lamarche, G. St. Jacques, A. Carle, J. Fillion, G. Menard, M. Durochers, were the sucâ€" cessful Cubs from the A Pack, and G. Guillemette of Pack B. also passed the signalling test. Donald Worth Takes Over Scribe Duties of Fifth Troop A new hand was noticed among the reports this week, and on closer inâ€" spection it was found to be that of #; | Donald Worth of the Fifth Troop. Don turned in a very good report of a very good meeting. The Troop had held an outdoor meeting last Friday evening and some time was devoted to practical first aid. Each patrol was required to treat and dress various types of inâ€" juries and each was taken care of in a very creditable manner. We are wondering why the Wolf Patrol were concerned about fly bites.

New Cub Pack is Formed by Third Timmins Group One of the main events of last week i was the formation of a new Cub pack by the Third Timmins Group, and the initial meeting of the Pack was held Wednesday evening in the basement of !the Church of Nativity. There were \twelve boys present and the duties of leadership are being taken over by [ Akela Brandon. Akela Herbert of the Fifth Pack has volunteered her serâ€" vices in assisting the new Akela and |conducted a demonstration meeting The Grand Howl was demonstrated and explained to the boys, following which the opening stories of the Jungle book were told by Akela Herbert. The meeting closed with the Grand Howl. | A warm welcome is extended this new | member of the local Scout family, and we are looking forward to future events in which we know the Third Timmins Cub Pack will be playing their full part. \Investiture Ceremony Conducted . by Fourth Pack ;' The feature of the regular meeting lof the Fourth Timmins Pack last week | was the Investiture ceremony explained |and conducted by Akela Roy and Fathâ€" | [er Brouillard. Interesting games were played by the Cubs and inspection reâ€" vealed a decided improvement in the iPack generally. More and more uniâ€" forms are evident as the meetings go by, and by camp time it is expected that !all Cubs will be in uniform. During |the evening Omer Carbonneau and Ruâ€" dolphe Tremblay were presented with |their Second Proficiency and Charles Eugene Theriault passed his ; |signalling test: There were twentyâ€" ;[four Cubs present at the meeting. d ® Regular meetings were held by the Third and First Timmins Troops last week, and summer activities were disâ€" cussed.

The First Troop planned a ‘hike for last Saturday but we haven‘"t yet heard what effect the weather had on plans One thing we can be sure of is that none of the boys did any swimming. Not That Kind of Scout Troop English Boy Scouts were delivering bunules of firewood. At one house was a rather deaf old lady. When she opened her door the boys announced themselves with a song beginning, "We are the Paradise Troop of ;:.Scouts." Quickly the door was shut in their faces. The Scouts left the .‘ at the back door. It transpired later that the old lady had spent a very bad night under the impression that "Parachute troops‘"" had arrived. Does your Troop check up on the daily Good Turns done by Cubs and Scouts, and do you occasionally count these in your competition? This SyYSâ€" tem has been found to work wonders in many different groups, and perhaps it might be a good idea to try it in yours if you haven‘t done so recently. Why not talk it over at your next Court of Honour meeting? Remember, it‘s a big part of Good Scouting. Discussing the previous spareâ€"time training of young recruits for the Imâ€" perial Forces, Brig.â€"General Clark, for over 30 years engaged in Territorial and Regular Army training, was recentâ€" ly quoted as giving first place to forâ€" mer Boy Scouts. Said General Clark: "A batch of First Class Scouts or King‘s Scouts would prove more acceptable to a Commanding Officer or a Serâ€" geantâ€"Major as recruits than a simiâ€" lar number of lads with any other form of spareâ€"time occupation in their past."

S.J.A.B. of Ontario Reports a Year of Splendid Progress The couple will take up residence at 74 Lakeshore Road. For a great many vears the St. John Ambulance Brigade has been performâ€" ing a very useful and necessary and valuable work in the Porcupine Disâ€" trict. The value and extent of this work has been more generally noticed by the public during the time of war when the assistance of the St. John Ambulance Association and its leaderâ€" ship in so many lines has been so outâ€" standing as to attract very special atâ€" tention. For many years The Advance has been giving svecial publicity to the St. John Ambulance work in the disâ€" trict because of its value to the comâ€" munity. In times of war its value is greatly increased, but this should not overshadow the fact that in peactime the services of the SJIA.B. have been carried on with most commendable persistence and efficiency. Most people have heard of the good work undertaken and performed by the St. John Ambulance Association, but few know that Ontario Branch of this admirable organsization, with headâ€" quarters at Toronto, â€"is "A Found ation of the Grand Priory of the British Realm of the Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusâ€" alem" â€" an instituation which finds its origin in the farâ€"distant days of the First Crusade. It should interest all to note that the good work of the St. John Ambulance Association in Timmins and the Porâ€" cupine Camp generally is a sample of the excellent effort that is being carâ€" ried on all through the province. As a consequence the report of the annual meting of the Ontario Branch of the St. John Ambulance Association should be of special interest. Rimarkable Work in This . _ District Sample of What is Being Done Throughout the Province: When the Ontario Branch of the St. John Ambulance Association held its annual meeting recently, a remarkable record of activity in the public weal was disclosed by its president, Col. the Hon. H. A. Bruce, M.D., M.P. No legs than 760 classes in First Aid and Home Nursing were conducted in 170 comâ€" munities in 47 counties and districts in the province of Ontario. iAs a result of the instruction given‘! in these classâ€" es 19,238 certificates and higher awards were gained, an increase of 2,848 over the previous year. It would be difficult to over emphaâ€" size the value of such an outstanding contribution to the public welfare of Ontario, for a trained FPirst Aider is taught to recognize those cases of acâ€" cidents and illness in which he can render effective improvising where neâ€" cessary, with such material as may be at hand. Naturally, his duties end when medical attention becomes availâ€" able, ‘but many indeed are the times when doctors have testified to the splendid work performed by certificate holders of the St. John Ambulance Asâ€" sociation in dealing with emergent #h #o #o #% as A further step forward in the work of the Association has been taken, since special warâ€"time regulations now enable a teacher who holds the St. John Ambulance First Aid Certificate to give instructions to the students in his school, and such students qualifyâ€" ing for the First Aid Certificate of the Association on passing the regular exâ€" amination, Practically everyone who has travelâ€" led on the highways of Ontario has noticed the Highway First Aid Posts, sponsored jointly by the St. John Amâ€" bulance Association, the Ontario Motor League, and the Ontario Division â€" of the Canadian Red Cross Society. These posts are continually inspected and reâ€" [plemshed by two patrol ambulances, E:jer the direction of the St. John bulance Association, whnich travel continually on the main highways of the province.

Leadership Asked in Reâ€"Housin by Princess Alice Important Address at Anâ€" nual Meeting of Daughâ€" ters of Empire At the recent annual meeting of the . I. O. D. E. held in Montreal, an out« . standing feature was the address by Her Royal Highness Princess Alice. Her Royal Highness spoke of the lead«â€" ership of the 1I.0.D.E. had given in many lines, mentioning \ particularly the sponsoring of Girl Guide troops. She asked for similar leadership from the Order in rousing puyblic interest: and effort in the housing problem. im« proper housing conditions wereâ€" not only an affront to humanity but also were a menace to health, sirength and progress. After the war the problem would be very pressing, though experâ€" ience elsewhere showed tWat the proâ€" blem would be handled it properly atâ€" tacked. The first needwas to secure public thought and coâ€"operation "Now, how can we for instance, set the ball rolling?" Princess Alice asked "For one thing," she replied "~to her own question, "the I.O0.D.E. is a very in« fluential body of woman and comprise in its ranks a crossâ€"section of the whole community. <In the second place, you are accustomed to working together through Chapters, and "getting ideas across," to use a colloquialism. That is why I am so very glad to be able to discuss this important subject with you toâ€"night, and in so doing to enlist your active coâ€"operation in buildng up pub« !lc opinion and then in making a start." Her Roval Highness touched on re« housing plans in South Africa, London Sweden and Holland. In . the two former plans she and her husband had active part. She emphasized the duty that each and every citizen had to see that slum conditions were removed and their recurrence avoided. "It is everyâ€" body‘s duty and everybody‘s business," she concluded, "to see that their neighâ€" ibours living in bad homes should have the opportunity to live their lives in | cleanliness, comfort and happiness."
