s SATWRDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE b Activities Of The Young People Of Oshawa ACTIVITIES By DON HOULDEN UTER'S CLUB Be Di lively attendance at Scouter's Club really salted snough work away to put a business mee ing to shame. A nomination com- mittee, in charge of Skip Ander- son is working carefully setting up a suitable list of nominations. Entertainment was presented by the 8th, and found the 8th gang leading a short sing-song and thes showing movies. Mr. Harrell Ww. long remember those movies. The 14th leaders excelled them- selves with games, and those games were the highlight of the whole evening. Thanks Kay and Co. The 5th brought the evening to & suit= able conclusion with lunch. SONGS NY aon has been handed in to me that the Scout office might deem it advisable to publish a list of the new songs garnered at Gil- well lately. These new songs are flowing into Oshawa at such a rate that Scouters are forgetting most of them. It is possible that we might be able to draw up a list of the ne wones and circulate them throughout the Packs, Troops and Crews in the city. SRD "A" CUB NEWS In spite of the rainy Tuesday evening practically all cubs manag- ed to turn out for our regular meet- ing, although in many cases it was to no avail because we accomplished very little, I don't like to scold you like this all the time Cubs, but your behaviour Tuesday night was not that of a good pack. During our meeting a very distinguished gentle- man dropped in for a few minutes and I'm sorry to say that I doubt very much that he was pleased at your conduct during the time of his visit. 'I certainly was not very proud of you, fellows, and I'm sure Bag- heera, Rikki and Kim felt the same way So come on now, let's show them what good Cubs yoy really are and "Do your best' ne week. The meeting began nspection as usual which w followed with Grand Howl. Don McCullough, Sixer of the Grey Six led us. We then play- ed a game of Farmer and the Thief which everyone seemed to enjoy. Cubs returned to their dens and the leaders had a discussion with each six concerning badges and the point system. This took quite a little while and with all ther lecturing that had to be done, before we knew it, it was 7:45. Everyone then rushed to the circle for Grand Howl and prayers. Please accept our apologies Scouts, for being late and holding you up. We shall try and see that it doesn't happen again. Tatil next Tuesday night Cubs, good night and good huoung., - 4TH OSHAWA CUB NEWS There are signs that Christmas is coming. Three members of our pack arrived 10 minutes late singing Christmas carols. In spite of being late we might add that it sounded very nice. Following dues and attendance the meeting opened with Grand Howl led by Seconder Cyril Topp of the Grey Six. We have~ purchased 4 new balls and we made good use of them dur- ing a game in the gym. The White Six did quite well with the Red Six coming second. During campfire the Red Six put on a skit. It was quite different with the help of sound effects from the back room. (Was that loud bang from a paper bag or Scout Carson's foot--we are wondering?) We hope the Grey Bix Will be pre- pared to put on their skit next week. . The meeting closed with prayers and Grand Howl led by Randy Mark. We would like to extend a special invitation to the parents of Ronald Bell, Jim Hinkson, David McLeod, Douglas Jones, and Brian Tunni- cliffe to be with us on Monday even- ing at 6:45 when these new chums will be invested. We hope *'Rikki'" will soon be feel- ing better. Good hunting. "THE OLD ONES". 7TH OSHAWA The meeting last week started out a little late but we had a reasonable excuse. The going-up-ceremony of , the Cubs was the high light of the evening. We were pleased to see so many new faces in the circle. After the Cubs were officially wel- comed the whole troop and pack Joined together in a campfire. Patrol period saw everyone hard at work but we would like to see more tests and badges passed. The Eagle Patrol put on a skit representing a Scout law and did a \ fine job. Thanks fellows. A Court of Honor was held after the meeting. Thats all this week. I remain-- SNOOPY. 7 "B" CUB PACK NEWS Our meeting was really full of spirit this week, and hope we can keep up the pace, Very good fellows! Harry McClurg opened with Grand Howl and Ted Eagleson assisted in Flag Break. The Cub Prayer was repeated in unison. Bagheera led a "Health Train" in- spection. Some of those box cars were pretty sloppy don't you think? Akela showed us a new game of farm animals called "The Mating Season". It was a lot of fun, real noisy--I even dreamt about cows all night. Akela read the new Six forma- tions--and gave out the patches and stripes to the boys who changed posi- tions. We hope the new Sixers and Seconds will strive to help their Sixes in every way possible, Dyb, Dyb, Dyb. Rikki began the Milk Bottle Game -- guess we all need practice at that. Akela led a sing-song. We learned some new songs, and everybody got into the act. Our new Scouts tried to stump the boys on "Mowgli Says', Some of you guys are - getting pretty hard to #tump at that game. Our thanks to the boys who turn- ed out for "Going-up" Ceremony, your presence really helped and we were proud to see so many. We hope the Black Six enjoyed "Angels. in the Outfield", the leaders did any- way. 'Twas a good movie. Grand Howl was led by Roger Cawker, and Flag Lowering, Barry Rogers. Please remember to bring your Christmas card money, or or- ders next week for sure. We'd like to get as much cleaned up as possible so we can give you your sweaters (that is if you earned one). See you next week. Good hunting pack. BAGHEERA. 8 "A" GUBS Philip Horwich and Ron Cole open- ed last week's meeting with Flag Break. Grand Howl was led by Ron- nie Johnson of the Black Six which also secured the most points last week. ' A singing game called fy ola Grandmother is Ninety-Nine was played and we discovered that a little practice in singing would dd no harm, Instruction period followed but no tests were passed. Rakshaw took the orders for the Christmas cards and found that most Cubs had done very well as salesmen. Wé might add here, that we are sorry to see that Raksha has a fractured hand. May- be he will wait for more snow be- fore he tries skiing again. Akela reminded us that several of the Cubs have their 8th Oshawa badges sewed on incorrectly. Please have them corrected by next week. Remember, Oshawa first and Eight below. This week the Black and Brefwn Six were tied for the most points, How- ever, several of the Brown Six broke a rule and automatically gave the Black Six the pennant. Ron and Philip lowered the flag and Ronnie Johnson led the closing Grand Howl. See you next week, Cubs. BALOO. 14TH OSHAWA WOLF CUB NEWS Our meeting started off jn the us- ual manner, We were sorry to see so many of you fellows were absent. Hoping to see everyone turn out next week. The Grand Howl was led by Ger- ald Asselstine. Leslie Asselstine was invested. When the formalities were over, Kim introduced a Variety Game that kept the Pack hopping. Instructions followed. Ray Suddard passed his Knots. After instructions Akela read a short story. Bobby Walmsley was invested on Monday also. Bobby Weroski received his Two-Eye Star. Our meeting came to a close with the Cub Prayer, See you all next week, fellows. Good hunting. "OLD WOLVES", FIRST OSHAWA DOIN'S Last Tuesday night was a night for wet Scouts. Those who came, came wet, those who stayed at home (like me) should have come. The meeting was under the aus- pices of Mr. Anderson who gave the boys a warm welcome and soon made them forget their wet, cold feelings. Games and fun of all sorts filled the evening with laughter. Inspection was taken by that new Matrol under David Weldon the %'Tenderfoot Patrol". It's a shame to let those new lads show you up gang. At the end of the meeting everyone was ready for his wet jour- ney home and not disappointed be- cause they had come. The church parade which was held last Sunday proved to be a great success with a good number of Guides, Brownies, Cubs and Scouts present. To all Scouts who came Mr. McKnight would like to express his sincere thanks for their part in mak- ing the parade the success it was. The Scout meeting will open 7:00 p.m, sharp next Tuesday night with (we hope) Mr. McKnight and that "Great" Mr. Smith back with us. Until then: Good Scouting, "THE EARS" (and the ears hears) NEWS AND VIEWS FROM THE THIRD Hi gang: Eye regret not making an appear- ance last Saturday, but most of you know most of what went on at the meeting. Here's hoping you 'all re- member the lecture S.M. Murdoch found it necessary to you be- cause of excessive horse-play and flot agting at all like Scouts. Most of you fellows are old enough by now to. realize that there is a time for joking and a time for work. When it is time for work, we must all pitch in earnestly. However be- cause of your good conduct this week and splendid co-operation on the paper drive your leaders have decided to overlook that incident. We were, this week, honored by having Rev. Mr. Moffat, the troop Chaplain, to say a few words dur- ing campfire and to join in the games. Many thanks Rev, Mr, Mof- fat and we all hope you can be with us again soon, This week's meeting was brief due to so many of you having to leave early because of fall exams. The meeting opened with inspection and prayers, followed by a study period in which several tests were passed. Shortly after we had a game and a short but successful campfire which rounded off the evening nicely. Points for the week are: Wild Goose, 124; Lions, 114; Rattlesnakes, 107; Wolves, 107. Good scouting gang. Au revoir, THE EYE. 8TH OSHAWA SEA SCOUTS Despite the many exams that have to be written at this time of year, a real good number of 'the hustling Eighth were on deck for a very interesting meeting. The meeting opened with the reg- ular routine, broken by a quick side-party to welcome Skipper An- derson of the Rover Crew. A test game on Signs, Salutes and Stave was very promising, and the points for these were good for all. Bob Gill won the "Shoe Jump" game and with it 5 points for the cellar dwel- lers, the Otters. Test and Patrol period saw Gil- bert Taylor salt away his First Class by passing his Map and Journey. Bob Jones, George Westfall, John Bulmar, Bruce McArthur and oth- ers passed the remaining number of tests passed during the night. Most Patrol Leaders are trying to get badges passed in their Patrols for the end of Patrol competition. Skipper Anderson took over and gave the boys a fifteen minute talk on First Ald and Accident Ppeven- tion, which was well received. The Question and Answer period that at |f followed showed that the gang were listening. Campfire saw Skip, Mr. Moore, | and Billy Sutton taking honors in the first Leader's skit for some time. A good sing-song preceded and fol- lowed the skit. Skip's Five Minutes dwelt on "Duty," and he used as a subject the story of the Dutch boy who put his finger into the dykers and so saved the lives of his coun- trymen. Seals finally got their Proficiency Shieldi*much to P.L. Snowdon"s sat- isfaction. Christmas cards should be in next week, 'ag the Skipper i3 trying to get the Christmas card books balanced. Staves looked a lot smarter with new ones. Points are now being giv- en for staves, so if you haven't one get cracking this Saturday. We trust that next week, there will be a much better attendance. And don't forget to bring along your old toys for the "Good Turn' we are planning to do for those who don't have things at Christmas. AQUARAT NO. 3. 11TH OSHAWA BOY SCOUTS The meeting opened with flag- break and prayer by the Beavers, the service patrol. The inspection ended in a tie between the Beavers and the Eagles. While the Foxes and Loons looked helplessly on, the Beavers and the Eagles "generous- ly" tossed the precious points back and forth to each other; eventually the Beavers won. Then the books were marked and after that we had a staff game of right-left, It was miraculously won by Bill Ling. After this we went into our Scout work. Ron Oke taught first class 1st Aid and Lloyd Scott taught second class 1st Aid; Grant Stonehouse carried on with the sig- nalling while White Elk taught (ahem!) tenderfoot knots. At half-time we had a break for a game in the dark of Sleeping Pir- ate. Then more Scout work, and af- ter to our patrol cornets where we proceeded to count up our points for the competition. Well, the good old Loons are Back where they should be--at the top. The Eagles and Fox- es are trailing them closely, and last of all come the high and mighty Beavers. HA! * With that we closed the meeting, but as usual most of the boys stay- ed on for a short (hm) game of slap- ball, In the first game Terry Patton and Jack Nicholls chose up. Terry's team won by a mere margin of 5-4. For this game Don Nicholls and Crimson Arrow chose up. Lloyd Scott was in goal for Don's team. Suddenly a break-away by Crim- son Arrow's team, a terrific shot on goal . . . and the dazzling, heroic Lloyd (who is also the new secre- tary-treasurer of the Sunday school) kicked the ball out of the net and SMASH -- tinkle, tinkle, Now the Sunday School basement has one less window. Also the Scout Troop is Rinne most of its fees for this meet- ng. .And next weekend we go B-A'ing! CRIMSON ARROW. 15TH OSHAWA SCOUT TROOP Honor Ante Gloriam We issue a hearty welcome to the four boys who came up into Scouts on Thursday night. The four boys who came up were: Gordon McCrim- mon, Bobby Weroski, Ron Fry and Gerald Asselstine. After the going up ceremony there were two badges awarded, Don Simmons received his Leaping Wolf Badge, Ron Keith his Basket Makers. We then had a law and promise test game. In this game the Wolves came off second best falling before the high and mighty Fox. The points for the test game were Beaver 0, Fox 5, Nighthawk 213, Wolf 4%. In the instruction period that fol- lowed Ken Bright passed his Gen- eral Health Rules. "Ikky'" hopes that the boys will get cracking on their tests and get some passed. The Court of Honor held a meet- ing after the troop was dismissed. The competition points read as fol- lows: Beaver, 6415; Fox, 63%; Night- hawk, 86; Wolf, 8915. So till the ink runs freely again, this is your old friend ani boomin' companion "Ikky'" saying -- adios, and remember-- I, PRY. Peeks At Pickering By TED CURL Our school, Pickering District High School, has the distinction of being the only school in this dis- trict which operates its student gov- ernment along the same lines as the Canadian parliament. The Governor-General is Mr, Briggs, our principal. The senate is composed of the teachers and the House of Commons is made up of the students, In each riding or class so many pupils are nominated to represent the Party of their choice. There are two parties, their names are the "Greens" and the "Whites", taken from our school colours. The nominated "Greens" and the nominated "Whites" have a meet- ing to elect a leader and decide upon a platform. Then the cam- paigning begins. After about a week of campaign- ing an election is held in every room, The students then mark their ballots for the people they think would best represent them in par- liament. The party with the ma- jority of members elected to par- liament is made the party in power and the leader of that party be- comes Prime Minister. The losing party 'is made the opposition and sees that the party in power does everything correctly. The Prime Minister chooses his cabinet of Ministers from his elect- ed members and there Ministers carry out the job of their port- folio. A meeting of parliament is held monthly to decide about schodl acti- vities. The first session was held Friday, Nov. 9 in the school audi- torilum with the student body in attendance. Activity cards will be on sale Wednesday, Nov. 21. These activity cards will 'be 50c and will give stu- dents a cut rate on all school aecti- vities. There is going to be a double- header basketball game with York Memorial here in our gym. There also will be a dance after the game. The price will be 50c and 35¢ for those with an activity card. Benediction", There were 30 members at the meeting. --t GI ACTIVITIES RL GUIDE 4TH BROWNIES After our opening ceremony and our "Fairy Gold" was fed to the little while rabbit, we all boarded the inspection train, glad to see so many Brownies stayed on all through the stations. Nice to see Kay now wearing her "Golden Bar." Suzanne passed her sewing and dancing. Darlene her darning and Gail ofr her Tidy Room. The Tweenies passing their Law and Promise were Glenda, Patsy, Kathleen, Gail, Donna, Sandra, Phyl- lis, Judith andMaureen. The Tween- ies also passed braiding.

The meeting opened with the Guide Promise, We were glad to welcome "Miss Thompson back, The fees were collected and inspection taken. Just about every Guide was perfect tonight. Keep up the good work Guiders. We then went to pat- rol corners where the Patrol Leaders taught some of the new recruits their tenderfoot. Miss Thompson helped the Guides in their second class. We then practiced marching and found we were doing better than we thought: Just a few more weeks at that and we'll be perfect. We then went to campfire and listened to some of the latest in records. Miss Thomp then collected fees for { {lton and Marylyhne Rykchoski, and our new seconders are Gween Ham- iltgp, Sharon Stickwood, Joan Barge, Mary Bonnetta and Sandra Yaskell. After playing "Musical Bowls" and "Queen Mary" = closed the meeting with Brownlie taps. 5 JEAN GASKELL. STH BROWNIES The Fairies sprinkled surprises over Fairyland in Guide House on Thursday afternoon. On arriving the Brownies found "Snow White" and the "Seven Dwarfs' waiting near the magic pool under the toadstool. Brown Owl was standing by and one by one little ducks went quack] -quack-one, two three. Then all into fairies danced. For this gala occasion six little Tweenies had brought their moth- ers--for today they were to be changed to Brownies. Six wee folk (Beverley Heard, Bonnie Gaynor, Lynn Bradley, Lynn Manson, Gwen- dolyn Otto and Judith Ann Baxter) circled round the Fairy Ring . . . in and out the arches . . . to the toadstool and Brown Owl to receive their pins of shiny gold. And who do you suppose came softly down the stairs to see? Why most all the Executive Council Mrs, Collins, Mrs. McMullen, Miss Moyes--and would you believe it Mrs. R. 8. McLaughlin too and many others. Brown Owl, Tawny, the Packies and all the Brownies were very pleased to be honored by such a delightful surprise. Once more the wicked old witch with her new crooked stick limped into our midst and Briar Rosebud fell fast asleep until Prince, Charm- ing came. He touched the Princess and danced her away. Now they are singing together in happiness. While the gnomes were busy in the kitchen, Mrs. Traynor, aunt of one of our new Brownles related a story about the Fairy Pixies. Every- one was carried into the land of make believe and enjoyed the trip very much. Thank you, Mrs. Tray- nor. The Brownies put the little ele- phants to work. After refreshments our guests all joined in "The Magic Squeeze' and "Taps." Two little Fairles with woollie lambs and everything stayed with us all the time. LILLIAN WEBSTER, Tawny Owl. 7TH BROWNIES Meeting opened in the usual way with 14 Brownies and 6 Tweenies present. We had a ew late Brownies, but hurry along as it makes the meet- ing very short. We had a rehearsal or enrollment which takes place next week. You won't orget Brownies to ask mother to come along. We will be very pleased to see them. We only had time or one game, and one song and I hope you are practicing them or Tuesday. Shirley Hickey passed the Squeeze and Dorothy Lawless tucked it away in her pocket. Prayers and pow-wow closed the meeting. Remember Brownies ull uniform, pins and shoes shining Tuesday. See you all then. CHRIS WATSON, Tawny Owl. 8TH BROWNIES Bogarts, bogarts, bogarts, how they do creep into our meetings. They even chased us home early. Do please come prepared to learn and enjoy our meetings and not distract the Brownies who try to be good. Tweenies are doing fine, sorry we can take no more Tweenies unless we can get a Falry Leadér to come and join us. Handicraft test is coming up Brownies, come and bring your knitting in Wednesday. We also hope to have a fly-up at the end of the month, All Brownies and Tweenies be at the school 8:45 a.m. Sunday to go to 9 a.m. mass. No excuse this time. Thanks Brownies for your gifts of used toys. Next meeting is the last day to bring them in, This Is a worthwhile good deed so all Brown- ies and Tweenies try and do so. Meeting closed with prayer and good night Brownies. MRS. BRENNAN,, Brown Owl. SRD GUIDE CO. This week's meeting was well at- tended. Before opening exercises commenced those who flew up from Brownies were placed in their new patrols. We hope these girls. enjoy Guides as much as they did Brown- ies, and know they will be a real help in the Company, Shirley Temperton was presented with her Swimmers, and received a great deal of applause when it was announced that she has completed the work for Gold Cords. Shirley is the first Guide in Third's history to earn this high award./Hostess badges were given to 8. Bradley, 8. Elliott, BE. Luke, E. Macleod and J. Walk- er. G. Anderson has earned her Laundress.

There are a great many things to be remembered for next meeting. First of all don't forget the Christ- mas Gdod Turn gifts for England. Then too, next week will be IN. SPECTION, with points awarded to each petrol to count on a competi- tion. So polish up your pins and shoes, and don't let your Patrol down! Every Guide with a uniform, should be wearing it. Games and the learning of several new songs, as well as many old ones brought the meeting to a close with Taps and Prayer. M, PALMER, Captain, new records. Miss Thompson then read us a ver nice letter from head- quarters asking us to subscribe to the wonderful magazine called the Canadian Guide. How 'bout it girls. Those Guides who have not brought in their per capita fee please do so as quickly as possible. Would three certain Patrol Lead- ers please set a better example for their patrol? How "bout it eh. Miss Thompson then gave out song-books, please be careful because no one wants to pay five cents. We then sang a few songs, The meeting clos- ed with taps. JUNE FICE, Patrol Leader. 6TH GUIDE Sorry that owing to illness last week I failed to report some very impor- tant doings. Enrollment was held and those enrolled were Susan Elli- ott, Brenda Naylor and Margaret McFadyen. Tests were passed as fol- lows: Sewing on Buttons by Joyce Wright and Irene Laing. Health by Diane Phasey. Many of the girls had been work- ing 'hard for badges and many were given out last Tuesday night. Child nurse--Phyllis Sutton. Homemaker-- Shiella Canning.

Margaret Kirkland and Marilyn Snowden were the outstanding Guides of the evening, both receiving their badges for Astronomer, Stalk- ers, Hikers, Athlete, Woodman, | Swimmers, World Knowledge and the Woodcraft Emblem and Margar- el came up with one extra--that for Child Nurse. Congratulations girls-- you worked hard and earned your just rewards. This week's meeting was a mix- ture of work and play. While many of the girls kept busy practicing for tests--Toymakers and Compass are coming up soon, others arranged Charades which were presented at Campfire. We also played a rousing game of Tenderfoot Basebali, which some of us sure need to brush up on. Winners were Mistletoe and Daffodil patrols. There were prizes for both patrols. There's a party next week girls to honour the Golden Cord winners. This is the cord we should all strive for in Guide work and is only earn- ed through passing almost every test in the book so it takes plenty of work. Don't forget to.bring the food you've promised -- Don't forget to | bring the toys we want to turn over to the Scouts to repair for Christmas cheer--and last but not least-- Don't forget your Per Capita Fess! GWENDOLYN GALES Patrol Leader. 8TH GUIDE CO. | There could have been more girls {at the meeting last Tuesday night, | it seems that every week there is | less girls there. But maybe it's be- | cause it's been either raining or { snowing the last three or four weeks, After the collection of fees Miss Wilson started to teach map reading and compass to Carol McRae, Fran- ces Fehrenbach and Janet Dearborn. They'd better [study hard if they want to pass it on December 8th. We were glad to see so many of the girls in uniform. At campfire a few of the girls (not mentioning names) had the giggles. Any week now there is going to be a fly-up, so we all should show the new girls what real good Guides are like. To those who were going to prac- ticg Packie training it has been changed, and will be held for the girls in January. The meeting closed with prayer and taps. We hope to see more girls (in uniform) next Tuesday night. See you all next week. JANET DEARBORN, Patrol Leader. 9TH BROWNIES Hello girls! My goodness, what a busy day we had last Tuesday! First, Captaift Holmes had to find her way through our "Magic Door- way." Then Susie, Carol and Shirley saw themselves in the Magic Pool and were able to become Brownies. Mrs, Ritchie and Mrs. Lounds also, paid us the honor of their presence. It was so nice to see you, mothers. Your interest will be a deciding fac- tor in how well your dear Brownies progress.-After the enrollment Brown Owl received the grandest surprise -- her warrant! I am so pleased and do hope that I can be a credit to the honor! Then Anne and Marlene were sent up our 'Year Path" and, what do you suppose happened when they reached Brown Owl? Why they re- ceived their one year Service Stars. Golly gee, the Brownie smiles were certainly shining despite all the rain! While; Brown Owl showed our mothers a little o the Brownie work, Tawny, Packie, Diane, Anne, Mar- lene and Joan prepared and served tea. Packie Jean kept the rest of the Brownies Interested with a story. We were so happy to see you, Packie Jean, and do hope you will be a regular helper. Susie put the Magic Squeeze away in her pocket for safe keeping. Take good care of it Susie. After Taps, Brown Owl turned her Brownies into little white mice so that they could scamper away ever so quietly. Did you remember to un- magic yourselves? Now next week we will have to settle down ta business again. We have a lot of work to do before Christmas haven't we? Goodnight Brownies--be seeing you. L.A.H. BETTE GODFREY, Brown Owl. 10TH BROWNIES Well here we are again to anoth- er week and although several Brownies are still on the sick list, we had our meeting and a good time we had. Rather than wait too long for those who were a little late, the Fairy Gold was received at the start of the meeting. It is such a pity to have to miss the opening Connidor 'sentative of 11C who stated, "You | Scramble, and it will be put on by |the B.A.A. Capos By VINCE BRADLEY The second sitting of the 43rd Congress of OCVI convened Thurs- day last and despite a lot of bickering from all sides, three BIG resolutions were approved. The first, a bill allowing Con- gress to publish a year book called Acta Ludi, was) intreduced by President Drew ang a heated debate resulted. > Ted Donald, leader of the op- position argued that Congress couldn't possibly make money on a year book, or at least, not enough for all the work involved. Further- more, he claimed that Congress is still selling copies of the last year book which was published in 1947, But the best statement came from Ron Richards form repre- have to spend money to make money." That, more or less, decided the issue and when the question was asked, the "ayes" had it in favor of the year book. The second issue concerned the school pennant. This bill has been kicking around Congress for two years, but finally was settled Thursday. The pennant selected was number six, that being the one with the letters O.C.V.I. and the school crest. Now it's up to Senator Glen Hagerman and the cabinet to get going on it and have it ready for Christmas. Before closing on the pennant idea, we would like to see a patent placed" on it otherwise Congress will have the same trouble that a certain enterprising group had with the school jackets. The third bill which was approv- ed by Congress gave permission for publication of a newspaper in the school with the profits going to Congress. This paper will be called the Ocavite and will come out twice a month, SOCK SCRAMBLE Coming u Friday of this next week is the first school dance of the year, the Annual Autumn Sock The dance will take the form of of a sock dance in the two gym- nasia' and will be strictly hard times. One prize is going to the boy with the longest beard iu attend- ance at the dance and several students are contesting the prize. Judge of. this contest is likely to be Mr. Kirkland. Another contest is beingheld for the girls and it will prove just as interesting as the boys'. The judge? Miss Van Luven. Although we don't know for sure yet. Central students may be al- lowed to come. Church Group KING STREET YPU The regular meeting of Young . Peoples Union of King Street United Church was held with the president, Norm Skinner in charge. The main topic of business was the minstrel show, which will re- main to be for a long time. It was passed and seconded that Ray Wallis and Norm Skinne# were to buy the music for the show, The members of the different commii- tees are as follows: Advertising, Don Howe; Ticket Sales, Marg Pellow, Bill Tane, Ray Wallis, Norm Skinner; Treasurer, Ray Wallis; Attendance Keeper and Rehearsal Notifier, Shirley John- son, We had a splendid turnout of 23 members for the first practice. We would, however, like to see the rest of you there Monday at a quarter to seven. Worship service was in charge of Alice Martin. A very interesting discussion on Stewardship and how it enters our workaday world followed with a number of the members giving a short talk on his or her occupation. Lunch was served, The young people are reminded of the invitation extended to them by the Simcoe Street Y.P. to their Fireside Service Sunday, Nov. 18 at a quarter to seven. We closed with "Blest Be the Tie That Binds" and "The Mizpah the ceremony, and as has been said be- fore, the time goes so very quick, and there is so much to do. After the Fairy Ring and Brownie Prayers, some of the Brownies set the table, and all passed this test, while the Tweenies were being help- ed by Helen Phair whose help we appreciate. While Mrs. Newhall and Edna Jones wege looking after the table setting, Bro6%n Owl was helping the Golden Bar Brownies with the sema- phore, as we were short handed, as Tawny Owl and Packie were un- able to be present, and they are really missed. Now came a few games, and after a singing game an imaginary hike was taken into the woods and we had to be careful how we trod and beware of what we saw, and ended up in a maze, but we were able to get out, Then a nice story this week about the Pixes. See who is to have the honor next week, of hearing of themselves. Brown Owl looked at the clock and found it was time to close, so we were all to be birds this week and Gail Morey put away the Magic Squeeze for safe keeping. e would like to congratulate Joy. Cooper and Helen Bates for passing their service test, and Cath- erine Smith wht passed her, service and health test. Don't forget those toys that can be repaired to give to some poor child or if you have not any, bring! along something new, not too large | that could be sent away to the Old | Country to someone your own age. Try and all be present next week | as something very Important is| coming up, so "Do. Right" and | "Lend a Hand." . MRS. LANGFIELD, Brown Owl. 12TH GUIDES | We. opened our megting at seven | sharp with everybody in patrols.
