LARMER, REPRESENTATIVE Office Telephone No. 744 PARENTS' NIGHT OF BOY SCOUTS GREAT SUCCESS Boys Gave Fine Demon- stration of Their Work Last Night An interesting two hours were spent in the Gymnasium of + the North Ward school on Wednesday evening, when the First Bowman- ville Troop Boy Scouts, under the direction of Scoutmaster Sam Terry gave a demonstration of the manner in which the training of the boys is carried out. The parents and mem- bers of the Rotary Club were es- pecially invited to attend, but for some reason the representation from both quarters was small. The Scout- master had the arrangements well in hand and cverything went along without a hitch. Along with the usual Scout work there was an ex- hibition of handicraft in which some real skill on the part of the Scouts was displayed. A picture worked in wool and beautifully blended in colors took the first prize. This was the work of Tom Dustan and a picce" of fret work, which showed painstaking care and patience in the making, by Eric Swindler, won the second prize. The boys displayed cheir skill in the use of of bandages in casc of accident, There was the bandage for the fractured arm, a he wound the metl ! and 18d of deal with a severed artery from different locations in the body. 1 method of using the sling for minor injuries and applying the splints to the arms and legs was shown. Two of the lads demonstrated their pro- ficiency' in the making of wicker work. The tieing of the different knots used in Scout work and the method taught in lowering a helpless or un- conscious person from a window. Then there was a signal message taken and sent out by Morse code and reccived correctly. . This phase of the training has been uscd by this Troop less than a month. During the evening the Troop was addressed by D. A, Morrison who urged caretullness in all their un- dertakings, to never jump at con- clusions, but to form the habit of always weighing a matter well be- fore making a decision. Scoutmaster L'erry stated that he bad hoped to present a number of proficiency badges at that time, but they had not arrived. In describ- ing these badges and the merit for which they were awarded, he said that one ot the most difficult to ac- quire was the Boatsman's badge, and while there had been only two awarded in Canada in 1931, Law- rence Rheder, a member of the Troop, had been awarded one. le would also receive the Swimmers badge. The Scouts to receive the proficiency badges were: Bert Johnson, Frecbourne Colville, Thomas Dustan, Clyde Robinson, Joseph Childs, Fred Neil, dwar Hooper, Clifford Hall, Edward Meil- son, Harvey King, Jack Honeyman, Ned Rheder, Harry 'laylor, Clair Allen, Russell Candler, Douglas Blunt, Robert Meclllveen, Murray Mitchell.
