Scouting throughout this city re- ceived a Scout-Guide Week boost when it was learned that five mem- bers of the Scouting community had received medals and commen- dations, Howie Saunders (7th Osh- awa Pack--""B" Section) received his certificate for meritorious serv- ice in the rescuing of Thomas Low- ery from the icy water of Oshawa Creek. Commissioner J, Harold Bateman, and Thomas Hopkins, both well known Scouting people, received their Medal of Merit for outstanding service. An additional bar to the above Medal was won by Bill Pierson, But the event of the week was the announcement that J. Harry Rigg, our President, was presented with his Silver Acorn Juin for distinguished Scout serv- e. It is impossible to point to any one thing that prompted the awards in the case of the medals, The above mentioned men have worked hard and faithfully in their Scout duties, and the honors are justly due. And to Howard Saunders, our Cub of the year, goes the satisfying feeling of a job well done in the service of others -- a true @ib and Scout ideal, Boy Scout Week Success Boy Scout week has become an institution throughout this city and land, and it was very gratifying to notice the number of uniforms to be seen in Oshawa. Scouters came out in uniform in increasing num- bers, and as I write this article, I can name three in this office that are at present in full uniform. Newspapers have featured Scouting, and through this medium and others, many new applicants have been received into Scouting. Scouting is an accepted organiza- tion in any democratic state, and wherever it is found, there dwells brotherhood and independence. By being prepared, Scouts in all walks of life, from 8 to 80, have given valuable service for the welfare of "their fellows. This week finds Scouts | in all places once more re-affirming their Law and Promise, for another year of better Scouting. - Congratulati 7th Osk 'This week the 7th Oshawa Group ! celebrate another milestone in their Tong and very exceptional history. They held their annual Father and Son Banquet Friday night, and re- ports and other interesting items were read. The 7th has for some Bcout proficiency, but more than that, théy have proffered a true Scout friendship to all other groups. All the wishes of Oshawa Scouting go to the Tth for a year of good Cubbing, Scouting and Rovering, Big Doo at Samac Tonight Scouters and Guiders will join together to officially conclude Girl Guide-Boy Scout Week by holding a party at Shebandowan (Council House) Camp Samac this evening. The programme promises to be var- ied, and a good crowd have already indicated that they will be there. Dress is civvies, so there's no ex- cuse, fellows! STH "B" WOLF CUBS Well, another excit! week has passed, and with it the arrival of a new "Old Wolf", P.L. John Bunner, who will be now known as '"'Bagheera", We welcome him to our Pack, and know he'll do alright by the Cubs. Meeting started with Grand Howl and Roll Call, read by ha. This was followed by Inspection, and some sixes got a real going over. A game followed, and after that a real down-to-earth Instruction period. The outcome of the whole evening of work was that Dennis Mackey marched off triumphant with his First Eye opened. work, Dennis! Another game whipped past, and be- fore one could say binson Crusoe, or some silly thing, Campfire was upon us, Now, at campfire we sing songs, but last Monday night we were a full orchestra. Akelg taught us a new song, and pretty soon Ki, Raksha and Bag. heera caught on to it. It's called "Ach, ven der musika" or somethin', We want to sing it again, Akela! Akela told another of his special mystery stories, and about that time came the announcement that Parents' t would be next week! We are even holding our Carnival same night. What fun! So, announcement that the crests are here for Joonh 25 cents each, I shall say Good Hunting! ACTIVITIES OF C.G.LT.GROUPS Dorothy Currells group in charge of service.

NORTHMINSTER This week's meeting was opened with a period of games and physi- cal training, which was led by Mrs. Morwood. 4TH OSHAWA CUB NEWS Monday night saw the Fourth Cub Pack (DIR ing "host" to the parents and friends of the cubs For the first half-hour, the cubs and leaders were busy getting the hall ready for the 'guests'. Then promptly at 7:00 p.m. the meeting was "offi- clally" opened. Akela explained to the guests that for the rest of the evening, we would put on a regular pack meet- ing, so that they may see just what goes on in our den. With all lights out --save a full moon shining down on the centre of the room--the Cubs crawled out of their lairs, forming & circle around the Totem in the centre of the den. Second Alan Taylor led the Cubs in Grand Howl. Flag Break (David Lavine doing the honors) and Prayer followed this. Then the Cubs played a game--under the direction of Bagherra--called "Candle Relay". Only Bagherra had a new version this time --something about going under hurdles. Anyway it added more excitement to the game. A short .instruction period was next on the program. The guests were told that they might wander around the hall, and view the different tests the Cubs were doing. After instruction, Kim took the Cubs in a circle game, Catch the. Ball, Bob Currell was the winner of this game--and that was a point for the Grey 8ix! Then the Cubs formed & large circle and Campfire was opened. With only the light from the campfire and also from the moon, the room was changed from an ordinary hall into a moonlit land. The Cubs and leaders sang some old favorite songs and of course it wouldn't be a Parents' Night without "Found a Peanut". So that the parents would know that we really could sing ,the Campfire ended with "Ezikial", sung very quletly and lovely, indeed. At the closing, Akela called Second Alan Henry into the circle and pre- sented him with his Teamplayer's badge. Sixer Murray Gifford led in the and building citizenship.

Next time the Mothers' Auxiliary have a tea -- they will probably be asking the Cubs to serve! Well, I guess that is about all--oh, | just about forgot to mention that we missed Bill Smith and Robert Winter. Sorry to hear that you two were ill, and we hope to see you. both out next week. Until then, all you Cubs of the "Fighting Fourth", Good Hunting! "The Old Ones" 14TH OSHAWA WOLF CUB PACK Thé 14th Oshawa Cubs and leaders | went home, Monday night feeling very proud. We had a good turnout of Moms | and Dads for our Parents' Night, and | we think, at least we hope, they en- joyed our meeting. We are very sorry we had to end our meeting in such a hurry but I think they understood the | the reason. For those parents who could not at- tend the meeting, here is what hap- pened: We had a regular meeting with Grand Howl led by Donald Tilk, followed by Flag Break and prayers. Inspection next was very smart because uniforms looked es) ally neat. Rikki led the Cubs in a game called "Cars" and then we divided into classes for instruction, such as semaphore, knots, skipping, Union Jack, and first ald. After in- struction we had another relay game with a team made up of the fathers (P.8.--we won't tell you who lost be- cause we don't want to embarrass them). Jack, Pack, Pack -- everyone ran to the circle. Lights were put out and our campfire and moon were turned on. We sang several Cub songs and some of the Sixes put on skits. We had to leave some of the skits out as the time was running short. Prayers closed our meeting. Then, as a surprise to some of the parents present, the Cubs served tea and cookies, Thanks again to those parents who did turn out. We were very pleased to have you visit us and we hope that at our next Parents' Night we will have every Mom and out. Until, next week, Good Hunting. 3RD OSHAWA "A" PACK Well, folks, did you have to explain to your parents about Grand Howl, led by Larty Steffan, and about Charlie Horchik ahd Bobby Tonkin doing the honours in Flag Break, followed by Prayers? We know you did a good job of telling them all about it, because we want all our Cubs' parents to know just what we do, and all about it. We, the Old Wolves, thank the Mothers, Fathers and friends for coming down. But there is no need for explaining about our game, Camel Walk, to them. Or is there? Some of the camels sure had queer walks, But it was fun' and from the sidelines, it was fun to watch, After our camels came wandering in, we had work period, knots, flags, health and signalling. And the boys went through their paces with ease. I'll bet some of the Mothers and Fathers didn't know their boys could sing. But we had Red Flower, so now they know. Good night Cubs, good rest, good Buning, "RIKKI" Animal 'Workers Russia is now training elk and deer as work animals. In the abserice of the president, Kathleen Kellington, the vice- president took over the business. The worship service and discus- sion followed arid were lead by Mrs. Morwood. Miss Kane instructed the girls in artificial respiration and bandag- ing, which was followed by inspec- tion. The meeting was concluded with Taps. KNOX PRESBYTERIAN The regular meeting of the Knox Presbyterian C.G.I.T. was held on Tuesday this week. The meeting opened with a sing song followed by the Purpose, Mrs. Dancey then led the worship serv- ice. The business of the evening was the preparation of the banquet which will be held on March .29. On March 4 there is to be a Con- ference in Toronto and two girls are to be chosen to attend to represent our group. After business discus- sions the meeting was adjourned to the: making of place cards for the Mother and Daughter banquet. Sea Cadet "Log" By P.O. T. KORNIC There are persons who belleve that Sea Cadet training is purely for the purpose--of getting Naval recruits but that is no more correct than to say that all schools; collegiates, and uni- versities are training boys and young men for the services. Like the schools and collegiates, the Sea Cadet Corps are endeavouring to train boys for LIFE, and to be better able to solve the problems that come with the responsibilities of manhood. It is plain to see that, In case of a nationgl emergency, the boy who has had soiMg_training is of greater value than the®boy who has not, but it is also true that in everyday, civilian life, the trained boy is of greater value to himself, his home, his community and, eventually, his employer, than the untrained boy. It is of course, very desirable that there always be a goodly number of ambitious, young Canadians eager for @& naval career--and what is more na- tural than they should first seek mem- bership in a Sea Cadet Corps? But it does not follow that EVERY Sea Cadet ultimately goes to sea. i For those of you readers, boys be- tween the aggs of 14 and 18), who are interested In Sea Cadet Training, bear this in mind: "Sea Cadet Training is essentially good whether for civilian employment or a career at sea." You can easily become a Sea Cadet; just come down to the Rotary Hall on Centre Street and enquire as to the requirements that all Sea Cadets must endeavour to carry out. If you cannot contact us personally please phone us at 5593 on any parade night. Don't forget the parade nights, Tuesday, Wednesday (for the band) and Thurs- day- (for Sports and recreation). The parades are only two hours in length; from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 22, 1949 Immediately after colours the cap: | tein addressed the Ship's Company | and announced that the new whaler was= stowed at the Boat Hou at the lake and appointed th possession; the three cutters, a dinghy, and of course, the new whaler, He later commented on the slack in the at- tendance and urged the hands to take more interest in the ship's activities. The following quotation would cover his address quite well: "The Sea Cadet who attends parades regularly gets far «more out of his training than the cadet who just attends often enough to qualify for membership." During the first period classes in Bends and Hitches, Knots and Splices, and Squad Drill were carried on, After Stand Easy the Band broke off and carried on a Band Practice while the remainder of the Ship's Company took Semaphore. A brief period of Squad Drill for ail hands concluded the par- ade, Wednesday, February 23, 1949 For the first period the Band took a short class in Squad Drill. Incidentally they did very weil. The drummers fell out after the dill was completed and assisted the drum Instructor in re- assembling the drums which were~re- cently repaired. "The trumpeters in the meantime took a short period of Musi- cal THeory and spent the remainder of the first period practising the calls that they have to master in order to secure their Bugler's Badges.
