~ ACTIVITIES OF THE YOUNG FOLK OF "Faced With Problem OF A Baby Sitter? i ! "% y ~ i { ' SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVE IE ACTIVITIES By DON HOULDEN $HE SCOUTMASTERS CAMP Scout spirit is the basis of any guccessful Scouting activity, and Preliminary Training Camp at Samac had plenty of the spirit. Not only did the Scouter's forget their Troop numbers out there, but they willingly traded group secrets useful in making a first | class Troop to show their sincere Scout spirit. What a camp! May such good camps never pass from the Scouting scene! A great deal of credit goes to the District Staff, | and especially to the camp's organ- izer, and Scoutmaster Eddie Alker and to our special guest, Charles "Lumpy Nunn." It is no secret to say that Eddie A. organized a man. gent camp. However, justice would not be paid if a tribute was not paid to our visitor, "Lumpy", in Ris short talks and personal con- | sections with the leaders made a | tremendous = impression on the Scoute:s. His inspiring personality livei Scouting and Brotherhood, and there will be many whose me- mories of that camp will centre in great part around the person of our "Lumpy" Nunn, FIRST AID CLASS FOR LEADERS Friday night saw Rovers, Cub- masters , and Scoutmasters and Commissioners brushing shoulders in an 'endeavour to learn the finer points of First Aid. The course is being. conducted for several weeks under the auspices of tlie St. John's Ambulance Association.

Kim took the Cuus m the first game, called " e Ba..." Then the Old Wolves took 'in- specvion. Quite a few Jerseys and caps were sadly lacking! ven 'though winter is setting in, jerseys, socks, caps and neckerchiefs must be worn to the meetings. The neckerchiefs, in- cidentally, were really in great shape. Now, let's have them washed and pressed like that at every meeting from now on! After Inspection, Bagherra took a relay game. The object was to "blow" (through a straw) a kernel of tapioca along the flpor to the end of the room. Instruction was omitted this week and, by the way, we forgot to mention last week, that John offatt passed Knots and Robert Winter passed 8kipping--Good Hunting, Cubs!

MOWGLI 14TH OSHAWA WOLF CUB PACK Our meeting Monday night, opened with dues and roll call. en in the | glow of our moon we had a very beau- tiful Grand Howl.

Rikki and Kim wish to thank the boys of the Red and | Silver Six for their good behaviour and | co-operation at the hockey game last Thursday night. The trip to the hock- ey game was won by these Sixes for their perfect attendance at church pa- rade last Sunday. | Inspection was marked on shined shoes and clean handkerchiefs. Sixers had better get after the fellows who shine their shoes on their pant legs. Rikki took two fast games of "freeze" and "squat tag'. Akela read a story of wolves stalking ducks on the pond af- | ter which the Cubs tried their hand at | stalking in the game of "pirates". Sev- eral fellows were successful in taking the gold from its keeper to win points for their Six. A period of instruction followed with | Cubs continuing on the work of the | previous week. | | Kim and Rikki, with the help of 'the | | Cub instructors, led the pack in a sing-song of Christmas carols and a few pack favorites. .

The opener was a knot relay (later made plural) and these were under the supervision of the leaders, Eric Ri on, Chuck Collard and Doug McKay. ]- lowing came a running of the single knot champ between the two boys of the troop who are usually good for the task. The winner's circle often see- saw back and forth betwixt the two. However last Monday, it sawed MacGregor's way. T'other party was the T.L. and upon interview he frankly admits that he was off the standard. Here we shall pause only to clear our throats, then pray continue ASM. Ridgen at this point took the troop in hand to brush up on a few of the hand-signals for which our group is renowned, concludin, game of "Horse and Rider". This game was played only a few weeks. ago u will remember when the Eighth star. board troop was a guest of our boys. Everyone settled down then for a spell, to listen to a few words. from Mr Diedrichsen, addressed to the visitors-- which took the time to about eight o'clock.

They partici- pated in a scrimmage with the sen- iors and although the formal score was not tabulated, the grads seem- ed to carry their share of the load. Many familiar faces were on hand --LE,, Don Seeley, Al Reddock, Bob Pattl and Bill Dell. These fellows proved that with a. little practice and conditioning they will be in the "pink" of condition. | In Wednesday's scrimmage as in all P.T. classes this week, Mr. Dea- con has been experimenting with a new 'one hounge" dribble rule. The purpose of this rule is to pro- mote passing. and develop + more team work. We might add that the games seem to be much cleaner fought and much faster under this ruling. This is of course merely a conditioning rife .and will not be used in league 'play as some fresh- men seem to think. Mr. Slyfield informs us that he has accepted very few book reports this week. As far as we know only one class, a fourth form, has been required to hand in their reports on the prescribed date. On all other occasions Mr. Slyfield has checked the reports and then requested that they be kept in the student's pos- session - until next week. 'In 'the course of the seven: days' grace the students are expected to revise the draught, if necessary, and in gener- al to improve on anything which can stand improvement. The Drama Club is thinking of giving Mr, Winter a bed for Christ- mas. This bed could be set up in Room eleven and would save him the trouble of journying home each night after his prolonged day in the institution.

TIPS FOR TEENS Show How Grown-Up You Are By ELINOR WILLIAMS You're missing lots of fun if you can't dance. Many boys, as well as girls, sit at home evenings when it comes to school proms and community dances. Too bad, when it's so easy to learn. The sooner you learn, the sooner you'll be with the crowd at formal and informal doings. Even 3) lh | if you're a high school senior, there's still time. ; Some communities have dancing classes for high schoolers and be- cause everyone there is learning, too, youll enjoy it. But you can also learn other ways. A boy can tell his special date that he'd like to go to the next formal, adding that he can't dance. She'll be glad to give him some lessons, dancing to records. If he has a sister, he could ask her to teach him, If a girl yearns for an, invitation to social doings, she'd better learn as soon as possible. Just ask friend.
