Che Sixers used every last bit of their exper- ience in the task of keeping the Sixes busy. The Ihray Six were building a model camp scene and produced an excellent result. The White and Blue Sixes were practis- ing the large arm sling with an eye on the one Donnie Lambert was using to support his arm. Other Cubs were trying to solve the mys- tery of the bow-line while the New Chums were busy learning the Law of the Wolf Cub Pack. "The Cub gives in to the Old Wolf" "The Cub does not give in to himself" The Blue Six were able to show their speed in most of the races and games that followed. A mes- sage passing relay produced some' amazing results when a few tongue twisters were passed down the line of Cubs. A snappy game of over and under using bean bags for passing was followed by a relay race in which each Cub in turn had to toss the bag into a box on the table from a kneeling position. There were some great scrambles when the bags all ended up in a corner and had to be sorted out'.

Household thimbles commonly have tops because in ordinary sew- ing the tip of the tinger is used to push the needle through the ma- terial. _ The word thimble, by the way, comes from the Old English word for thumb, plus e1 or le, a suffix used in forming names of instru- ments, as in "handle." The word originally meant the thumb of a glove, and a leather thumbstall was the earliest thimble. Metal thimbles were not introduced until the 17th century. Tailors, however, encounter such thick, tough material that they have to use the side of the thimble to trust the needle home. Conse- quently, their thimbles need no tops. .
