THE CHUCKWAGONS ARE ROLLING AGAIN! Calgary Wolf Cubs and Scouts are busy rehearsing for the chuck- wagon races which highlight the annual Calgary Boy Scouts' Ice Stampede, pril 13-14, Wearing west- ern costumes, using miniature chuck wagons hauled by Scouts on skates, the lads put on a typical western display under rules similar to those at the famous Calgary Stampede. APPLE DAY Next Saturday is Apple Day, and Oshawa Scouts, Cubs and Rovers | with their Leaders will be selling apples to help bolster Scout finances for Oshawa. | This is a traditional service to] the public, and one that is always received faithfully by the public.

Tuesday considering it was in the middle of the Easter holidays. It seems that our troop has six or seven Times-Gazette carriers that had to | go home early because of the trip to Montreal next day. Don't forget a week from today is Scout Apple Day and Scouter wants | *'everyone'"' out in full uniform. Also | there is a rumor that tree planting day is to be held the following week- | end at Camp Samac. However, 1 shall have more information next week on this subject, There are a few fellows who haven't brought in their money for registration and for. the cards. Eddie Broadbent, who has been going 'great guns" on his test work lately, needs only his first aid for his Second Class. é Well, the time has come for me to mention the patrol competition, The 'Wolves, who have been working very bard lately, came out on top with 145 points. The Lions fell into a slump and finished second with 131. The Lightning Patrol flashed into third place with 125 and the Rattle- snakes wiggled into last spot with 105. Nice going, Wolves. Yours till next week, "THE EYE". 3 "B" CUB PACK Despite the cold weather twenty- five boys and Akela went out to the open hills (our play field) to romp around. The winners of the 'Snatch the Flag" game were the 13 Blacks: Captain Lester Sager, Norman Wil. son, Leonard Cheesman, John Keyes, Paul Tyers, Glenn Owen, Tommy Wolfrom, Lary Spires, Bill Hender- son, Wayne Carey, Bill Lee, Freddy Scott and Ormond Bowman. Red group didn't do too bad--better luck next time, Red Rover was then played end- ing up with a few barked knuckles. And there were a few who know the best hiding place there is--dont we fellows. Great for Hide and Seek which Akela kept an eye on each of us. Then the main event of all was when Akela at long last let us eat our lunches. Akela reports that there were a few who snatched a nibble of their lunch--oh, oh! We were sent out to find a branch of white birch each and we came back with none. And after Akela showed us what it looked like, Guess we had better check up on our dif- ferent kinds of trees. Akela took all kinds of pictures of us in different phases of games or of feeding ourselves. We were then shown our way home a new way and with a shiver | and a puff we went marching home | happy, full and very tired. Hope we get another chance out there--how about it, 3 "B". | "THE PUSSY WILLOW". | 135TH OSHAWA | (Honor Ante Gloriam) "Have you sold all of your boxes of cards?' asked S.M. Simmons. | "Yes, sir." | "Well, how about taking a couple more?' "Well, --alright."" "'Super-saleman Simmons' they eall him. It seems there were a few | boxes of cards left. Were", 1 said. 'Let's get all the cards sold, eh gang?" The meeting opened with twelve boys forming the horseshoe. It was mentioned that on Apple Day, April 22, our two illustrious A.S.M.'s would take charge as the S.M. must work. After dues and inspection, A.S.M. Dickson sent us on a '"'merry" scav- enger hunt. The only resemblance to a dew worm, which was required, was a worm, about as big as an ant, found by the Owl Patrol. How they found it leaves many wondering, The Seals won that followed very closely by the Owls and Wolves, Then in instruction, Ralph O'Reilly, Lawrence Durno and Ken Atkinson passed their lashings and Don Claus passed his knots. Nice going, fellows. Next came a practice in hand- signals by the S.M, and A.S.M. Dick- son. "Ikky'" knows them better now. S.M, Simmons took his five min- utes on a talk on Loyalty followed by the horseshoe. Newsy Notes Apple Day is a week today so everyone out in full uniform at S.M. Simmons' house, 42 Mill Street, at 8:00 a.m. Tree-planting is two weeks today. The meeting next week. will be held at Rotary Park providing it does not rain any time after 8:00 a.m. Thursday. "Ikky" has put one of his ideas, mentioned last week, into action. A box will be put down at the meet- ings into which anyone may place any news, scandals, patrol activities, etc, These MUST be signed. This is your chance to help "Ikky". It will be called "Roaming Rumors'. "To start this off, "Ikky"" is going to tell you what A.S.M. Dickson told us in the horseshoe. "Lover-boy" Jeffs, our A.S.M., was absent from the meeting as he R.C.8.C.C DRAKE Duty Watchbill By the Commanding Officer, Lt. H, A, Maynard Week ending April 21/50 Part I 2uty Watch--White, 0. 0.

After Grand Howl, Norman Tetlock, Second of the Sil- vem Six, and Fred Newman, were ch®en to break flag. Green Sixer Archie Fry read the prayer. The sixes were then marked for inspec- tion and the Green Six is honor six next week. Tawny is duty six. The number relay game was played, with the Green Six coming out on top, and the Red Six running a close second. The boys were then called into story circle by Rikki, who told them the legendary story of St. George, who is the Patron Saint of the Scouts. Remember the twenty third of April is St. George's Day. Akela was stranded out at Camp Samac without a car to bring her to the meeting. 'It seems her husband took the car apart and couldn't get it back together again. It was lucky Mr. Aylesworth happened to be at the meeting, as he went out to Samac and brought Akela in. Time and somersault tests were passed by Bill Horton. Bill Bailey passed his National Anthem test. Both Bill Horton and Bill Bailey have completed their first star tests. Good work, fellows. After instruction period, the game "Pat and Mike' was played, and Harold Aylesworth broke the bag. Harold must be stronger than he thinks, This game was followed by Grand Howl and closing prayer, and the pack was dismissed for the night. Remember fellows--if you have not sold the boxes of cards which were given to you, would you bring them back next week. . BALOO. 8TH SEA SCOUT NEWS There's not much this week, as Skip. forgot to bring Aquarat's notice down (sorry, old man), except that next Thursday evening is Parents' Night, and then Saturday will find the 8th away on Apple selling. The 8th movies of the camp and the hike, and the paper drive in wonderful technicolor, all turned out. So bring Mom and Dad, and ex- pect to spend a marvellous meeting. SKIP. Young People's Church Groups CALVARY BAPTIST Y.P.U. The Young People of Calvary Baptist Church were pleased to have with them the Intermediate Young People who took over the entire program for the evening. The meeting was opened with suitable choruses for the occasion led by the song-leader for the even- ing, Miss Dorothy Hooper. The opening hymn was "When I Survey The Wondrous Cross". The meeting was in charge of Mr. Ted Johnston Announcements - were brought by the president, Mr. Eric Watson. Mr. David Lagerquist played a piano selection, after which there was a time of testimony and prayer, The girls' trio, which included Anne and Betty Nicholls and Dor- othy Hooper, sang "He Arose". The story of Easter was very well | and clearly portraved by. means of flanelograph, scripture and music, Taking part in the program, besides | those previously mentioned were: Kenneth Harvey, Bob Henry, Cherry Anne Henry, Barbara Hooper, Doris McKelvey, and Anne Kovach. 'Dor- othy Hooper sang a solo The group of 11 Intermediate Young People brought their story to a close with the singing of "Up From The Grave He Arose" Everyone present enjoyed evening very much. Anne Nicholls closed with prayer. Next week's meeting "will . be an all musical night. \ . the {to turn out on Tuesday, how about [it, an we parade as a band or | aren't there enough people interest- | ed? | As many of you will recall, our Tuesday Route March had to be| | cance"ed due to inclement weather. | | But Thursday, although an ideal | | night, was used for brushing up {on compass, and boatwork for our | Annual Inspection, which is to be {held ir May at the Armouries and incidentally, you parents are in- vited to come aboard and see the ceremonial drill and the display (at the Barracks) that we will be putting on. Also a reminder lads, that our ship's compliment is below strength, serve your ship and your corps by bringing in a recruit! Now for today's fact about battle- ships: Did you know that battleships of the U.S.S. Missouri class are 860 ft. long, 198 ft. beam, carry a personnel of over 2,000, have nine sixteen- inch guns which fire one 2,400 pound projectile a minute, carry four scout airplanes, and have in addi- tion fire power consisting of dual purpose guns and anti-aircraft bat- teries. More next week when we consider the greyhounds of the Fleet, the Destroyer. No Road Could Be Snow Road To the casual onlooker, the sight of a huge rolling machine moving ponderously across a snow-blanket- ed field might call for a quick double-take, But within the Army's Directorate of Fmgineer Develop- | ment this winter it meant progress in snow compaction trails, Working through February and March in the bush about 20 miles south of Kapuskasing, Ont, the Engineers utilized snow as road construction material. They hope to make roads across counsry which otherwise would be impassable for wheeled vehicles. Thus far the trials have shown great promise, and next winter may tell the complete story. The methods used by the nine- man team, under command of Cap- tain Ian Smith of Coleman, Alta. were relatively simple. First, a com- mercial type snow pulverizer and an Army-designed snow harrow whip- ped across a suitable strip, loosen~ ing and breaking down the crystal- line structure of the snow. These were followed by huge rollers which packed and repacked the four, and four and a half-foot banks down to a 12 to 15-inch road bed. There was no secrecy about the trials. They were conducted near a pulp cutters' camp as the result of an arrangement between the Army and the Spruce Falls Power and Paper Company. The Engineers originally had planned to conduct the trials at Petawawa, Ont. but lack of snow in that locality block- ed this plan, An official of the plant, keenly interested in the de- velopment of this idea for use on his tract, invited the Engineers to work in the Kapuskasing area. The company provided workshops, i transportation and sleeping and | dining facilities, { Col. W. A. Capelle, Director of Engineer Development, said results of the trails willtbe made available to the industry in general Working with Capt. Smith on the trials were Sgt.

Knott ILLUSTRATEC BY JACQUES -CAGNIER TWO FAMOUS CARTS If you visit the museum in the Hudson's Bay store in Winnipeg, or take a trolley bus out to the east end of Calgary to a small park owned by a ginger ale company, you will see two of the oldest and They are real old-time Red River Carts, just as famous in Canada as are the covered wagons in the United States, When the first settlers went to the Red River Valley and began farming where the city of Winnipeg now stands, there were no roads or sidewalks. The pioneers built their own log cabins, made their own furniture and bought their flour and other necessities from the Hudson's Bay post in the fort nearby. The settlers were hundreds of miles from the nearest town and the only way they could travel was by boat along the river or across the Prairie trails. Usually the men rode on horseback, but when they wanted to take their families with them, or carry supplies, they needed a wagon or cart. And since there were no factories or machines, they had to build them themselves, The Red River Cart was made without metal or nails. It looked like a wooden box mounted on two all-wooden wheels. There was not even one nail in it; it was held together by wooden pegs and pieces of buffalo hide. If an axle broke, a limb of a tree was chopped down, trimmed and put into place. The Red River Cart was noisy and you could hear its axles squeaking sometimes from miles away. And it wasn't very nice to look at, or very comfortable to ride in. But long before there were railroad trains, Red River Carts carried men, women and children all across the Prairies. Into the lands of the buffalo herds and the Indians, the pioneers rode in their clumsy, noisy carts, When they came to a river, they took off the wheels, bound them together with buffalo hide and the cart became a boat. Most of the Red River Carts have disappeared, The old Prairie trails are now modern railroads and highways and the trading posts and forts the ancient carts once served are cities like Calgary and Edmonton. Among the few monuments to the brave pioneers are the two old carts in Winnipeg and Calgary -- souvenirs of the day when crossing the western plains was a great adventure, = £ P $< n= 2 RR Says New Zealand Land of Flowers Toronto (CP)--When Mrs. L. R. Richardson, president of the New Zealand Y.W.C.A, and her husband return to their home shortly they will be heading into their third winter in less than a year. They left in September at the end of a New Zealand winter, Now after spending six cold months in Canada they are starting back once more to an Antipodean winter. Mrs. Richardson who was born in Fredericton, N.B., met her hus- band at McGill University, Mont- real. They married and 10 years ago he took her with him to Well- ington where he is professor of zoblogy at Victoria University Col- lege. "Fortunately winters there are not | so cold, much like a California win- ter," said Mrs. Richardson. "Our trees have an odd, fleshy leaf that is green all year round, and there | are flowers in profusion -- geran- | lums grow as tall as small trees, | lilies grow along the streets and going automatically. vegetables are picked from the gar- den all year." It is not surprising then that floral art is one of the most pop- ular study courses among the 6,000 members of the ¥ "down under." Maori girls belong to the Y.W.C.A. but there is no racial problem in New Zealand and no attempt is made to segregate them, said Mrs. Richardson. "While we would like to offer them programs in their native danc- ing and singing, this has never been done, as it might be considered as drawing a race line." In most respects the YYW.CA. in New Zealand has the same prob- lems that face the organization in Canada. They operate girls' hos- tels and present group programs for both men and women.

The programme was the first thing discussed: three girls were chosen to give toasts! five others were appointed for the affiliation service; that Mrs, B. Morwood, the past leader, had ac~ cepted the position as speaker was announced; and Mrs, H. Mellow would lead the sing-song. The decorations were the next item under consideration. Mrs. Mel- low informed the group of her pro- gress in procuring a church birth- day cake. As the placecards had been made at the previous meet- ing, the chairman of the decorat- ing committee was instructed to bring the necessary materials to make the programme-menus at the next and last meeting before the banquet. While some of the girls discussed ther duties with the leader the rest played games. The.aneeting was concluded with taps. ALBERT ST. C.G.LT, AND EXPLORERS | The regular meeting of the Albert | St. C.G.IT. and Explorers started | later than usual to see if any of the | girls got lost, but they didn't show up Miss Betty Pike was in charge of the service assisted by Mrs. { Graham at the piano .while the | group sang 'Come Let Us Sing of a Wonderful Love." The C.G.I.T. and Explorers' Purposes were repeated | by the girls followed by a prayer by Mrs. Sanders. Janet Oak read the | scripture, then Eileen Taylor told lus a poem of "Kindness Like a | Snowball." The worship closed with | the hymn "Can a Little Child Like | Me." Mrs, Sanders told a very interest- ing missionary story about the foreign countries, the work done by missionairies in the churches and villages. : The C.G.IT. girls finished their very decorative cards with hand made flowers. In the Explorers' Group the girls made Autograph Books which they liked tremen- dously. We had a small attendance of twenty girls, but we still have hope of good weather on our night so the girls will not be forced to stay home, The meeting closed with taps. LEADERS COUNCIL The regular monthly meeting of the Oshawa . Leaders Council was held in Simcoe Street United Church on Wednesday evening with Mrs. Clayton Lee presiding. Miss Phyllis McMurtry led in a short worship service, taking as her: theme, 'Jesus In Gethsemane'. A Variety Concert is being plann- ed for Monday evening, May 8 when each church will be respon- sible for three numbers on the pro- gram, There will also be a sale of candy. Letters will be sent out to eaeh church after further ar- rangements are made, With camp. just around the cor- ner, plans were made for a City Wide Camp Rally, to be held at Camp Pretoria on Friday, June 2 at 5:30 p.m. Each girl will bring her own lunch -- entertainment will be provided -- and guest speakers are being spoken for. Camp dates were announced as follows: Seniors--July 4 to 14; 13 and 14 years--July 15 to 25; 11 and 12 years--July 28 to August 5; 7 to 10 years--Aug. 8 to 16. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 10 at Simcoe Street United Church, Knox Church taking worship and lunch. Courtice the Hi-Tide VS GORD HAWKSHAW By GORD, HAWKSHAW The regular Hi-Tide column will appear in Monday's edition of this | newspaper, The following few para- graphs are, what might be called, "special." Most of today's points are really hot off the griddle. (And we mean hot! , So hot, in fact, that a few of the people who have been planning them for the past week have not yet heard the direct re- sults of their work, The first big issue is that the dance committee has acquired an orchestra, After negotiating for five days the committee announced yesterday afternoon that they had made their selection of the band which is to participate in the gra- duation function. "Billy" Miller and his orchestra have definitely been engaged for the gala event auditorium on Friday, May 12, The dance itself will be of a semi-formal nature and will be preceded by a banquet honouring the fourth and fifth form students who will be leav.ng the institute this year. This is all the information avail- able at the present moment but we will rush the news into print as it is released. Consequently, we advise you to watch the paper closely next week. The full details concerning admission, t:me, those who are en- titled to attend, etc, should be ready for publication by Tuesday evening, Spud Hollow Jump Perhaps the above collection of words (Spud Hollow Jump) doesn't mean a thing to you right now. We promise that before next week is over 'it certainly will mean some- thing to you. Here's the information as it was petition took place here to see who could fillet fish the fastest. officially released late yesterday T° S FOR TEENS: The Problem o By ELINOR It's a grim moment when you're, | with a girl or boy you like and that | old tongue-tied feeling sneaks up on you just when you want to be fas- cinating. You'd give a month's allowance to think of something--! anything!--to say that will light a | f "Small Talk" WILLIAMS spark of interest in his or her eyes. | But the niore you fret about it, the less you talk, It's this high school | girl's problem and perhaps it's yours, too-- ! "Dear Elinor: "I would be pleased if you would serd ma some tips on conversaiion Too many times due to lack of something to say, I make many nervous moves. What is there to start to talk about when you are at | a dance and eeverybody is just standing or sitting around for a while?" Everybody likes to talk about his hobby, pet sport or favorite team. It's easy to ask a question or two to "inc out how he likes to spend his spare time, then take it from there with a query now and then about model-building, fishing, ten- nis, or whatever pastime he likes best. Perhaps you'd prefer to start with a remark about the orchestra. What's his favorite band? Favorite records? Movies are always good for some casual chatter--some of the best ones you've both seen, but no raves about masculine stars when you talk with a boy or about feminine if you're a boy talking with stars a girl. | School, school clubs and teams-- | file them in your mind as possible | chit-chat topics when you're trying to start the conversation, Also vaca- tion and summer jobs.

The next school dance will be held next Friday evening at 8:30 p.m. The dance will adopt the attire of last year's "Hayseed Hoe- down" and "Eve of Folly." That is, everyone attending next Friday's affair will wear his or her working, farming, peddling, begging = (or what-have-you) clothes. Like last year's dances there will be cider sold. (Sweet cider, that is), Also, [as was the case last year there will be a few square dances sprinkled throughout the program. Now, don't think that last year's affairs are just going to be repro- dr i from it! 9 the outstanding features the 1949 dances will be utilize again, but some dazzling new ma- terial is being injected, but defi- nitely. As the title of the coming dance (Spud Hollow Jump) might suggest the potato is going to hold a leading role in the casting of the production. For instance the admis- sion is (and get this)--the admis- {sien is thirty-five cents and one potato, Yes'm. That's it! Thirty-five cents and one potato will buy your way into this event that is going to make O.C.V.I. history. Now don't think we're trying to make this look bigger than it is. It really is going to be the "feechah" of the spring to date. One of the features of the even- {ing will be the sale of home-made candy. Another will be--oops. -- Almost forgot. We have to save some material for Monday's column and besides there must be Some surprises kept in secrecy. However, we will go this far, Some of the prizes for the Spud Hollow Jump will be of the "living" variety. There's your clue Watson; you track "it" down from there, This is all for now, except to re- mind you of that price of admission for next . riday's Jump -- Thirty- five cents and one spud. See you then?--It's a date. By the way don't forget to watch for the la- test developments on the gradua- tion function in next Monday and Tuesday's Times-Gazette. Many Art Entries For Hobby Fair With entries not yet completed and work to com. from members of the O.C.V.I, Sketching Club, it looks as if Pictorial Art and De- sign' will prove to be the nost popu- lar Department of this year's C.R.A. Hobby Fair ne». Wednesday, Thurs- day and Friday. Somewhere about 500 entries have .already been re- ceived and the work ranges from that of experienced g~tists like Mrs. C. Ewart McLaughlin and Mr. Ron Lambert to the merest tyros in ae field of artistic self-expression. By far the bulk of the sxhibits | however in this Department, come | from young people. Adults, even {when they are interested and would like to' express themselves in oil or water colors or some art media, seem to be nervous about getting started, Children's art classes in the scheols and at C.R.A. are proving very popular activities and in the last year, groups of adults taught by Miss Daisy Baig, AN.S.C.A. at 0.C.V.1. evening classes and at the Y.W.C.A. have been taking a brush {irmly . in their hands and finding it was not such a dreadful experie ence after all.
