Attended Meeting of Bar Association Considerable work was entailed, and included, a new floor, moving some of: the fixtures, painting, installing a sink, and in gen>ral renovating. Several. woeks passed, and as the boys worked stevdy, the room began to take the: shape that was Cosired, till now it is | a credit to any Troop. In this room, i which they have <o themselves, they kaep the Scout literature, flags, and| cquipment. } When they were given this space.; the Court of Honour thought it a good } plan c0o have assistants, which } would be one leader for each patroi, and that they would work on this | patrol only, other than at meetings. The plan has developed into an excelâ€" !:nt idea, and alrcady progress can be: noted from the encouragement of the different lmaders urging their boys on. On Tuesday evening last the Beaver Patrol had the first meeting in this rcom, and to start i off in a real manâ€" ner, Assistant Scoutmaster L. Pretsell pave the patrol a spaghetti feed topped off delicious doughnuts. Thej patrol certainly did justice to the exâ€" cellent feed, and voiced their approval. The balanc>» of the evening was put in discussing varicus ways and means of doing Scout work. Plans were drawn up whereby the patrol will do extensive ow side work this summer. They also intend to build rustic furniâ€" ture for their room, and make various Scout collections. The other patrols of the Troop have similar ideas, and the ultimacle result will be the using of spare time of the boys to advantage. Any spare time that the boys may have can be utilized to construcc, raâ€" ther than destruct. Iroquois Falls Boy Scouts Patrol Room Iroquois Falls, Ont..

The British promoters will also have a voice in the matter, as to where the title fight will take place or I miss my guess. And last but not least, is what will the Welish have to say about it? YÂ¥es! The question comes up, that Tommy has a new manager, and he has all the say. But don‘t forget that Tommy has fired them dbefore and if it suits him. this one will go the same way. Boxing News is going the rounds that Tomâ€" my Farr is to box Maurice Strickland in Toronts for the British Empire heavyweight title. Will this fight take place for the title?

Barnsley City will go to the third division by having a slightly lower goal average than Notts County, and Coâ€" ventry City, who made such magnifiâ€" cent strides in second division comâ€" pany, and the last team to lose a match in the four divisions, lost out in the latter pars of the season to join firstâ€"class company.

Taxes nc paid om or before the above dates will be subject to penalty. The last date for paying the first instalment is May 30th and to avoid any penalty the instalmens should be paid before that date. Those paying at the wicket will facilitate matters both for themâ€" selves and for the <ax collector by bringing their tax bill with them. If this is not done a new tax bill has to be made out, this causing delay for bcth the tax colleccor and the rateâ€" payer paying the taxes. Appeals to Fishermen to Observe Sportsmanship An editorial article last week in The Haileyburian makes the following apâ€" peal to fishermen to assist conservaâ€" ticn by observance of the rules of good sportsmanship : â€"â€" "We were toxm the other day about a party of soâ€"called sporstmen catching 15 pickerel in one of the streams conâ€" necting a couple of lakes in the disâ€" trict. The catch was made with the aid of spears, according to our informâ€" ant, and at a time when the fish are seeking spawning grounds. Whether the spearing was don» at night by the aid of a torchlisgsht once a common enough practice, we are not sure, but in any event there were at least two "It is a difficult task to enforce fishing regulations in such a sparsely sett‘ed area as that which surrounds the contral Temiskaming towns of Cobalt, Haileybury and New Liskeard. The Temiskaming Fish and Game Proâ€" tective Association is making every effort in its power to see that there are no abuses of the law, but every lake and stream cannot be patrolled during the closed seasons. The Association has been responsible for reâ€"stocking of the waters, in an effort to promote good sport, and its members regret exceedâ€" ingly to see their efforts being wasted. All that can be don» is to again apâ€" peal to the sportsmanship of all those who go into the woods. Give the fish a fair chance during the closed season, leave the spears at home, or better still throw them away for good, and observe the regulations which have been planâ€" ned with a view to ensuring good sport for the future as well as the present." breaches of the regulations made. The pickerel season does not open until Saturday, May 14th, this year, and the spearing of any game fish at any time is not only illegal, but shows an entire lack of sportsmmanship. THE PORCUPINE A_DVANCE, ‘TIMMINS, ONTARIO The third boy in line saw the second boy dive in, but knew nothing about \the first. He Called to those behind ‘\him; went in After the second boy, \ recovered the body and brought it out. Then the Scouts in the group seni one of them for 4 Gdoctor, and began to give artificial respiration. After a few minutes an evelid flutâ€" ! I‘m closing with this quotation from Cardinal Hinsléy, at the annual meetâ€" ing of the London Catholic Scout Guild: **The Movement is a very fine ; thing indsoed, with very great ideals ac its root. We realize that these ideals | must be kept before you, and I want | you as Catholic Scouts to reap all che benefit possible from your organization. It will aid you in avoiding that false internationalism which has been unâ€" fortrnately introduced into this counâ€" Name "Ike" Solomon To Make Sanctuary at Annual Meeting _ for Ontario Moose Equipped This a story about confidence, absus skill and about the power that comes from them. I like to think of it as a story of b9Y, Y€s, several boys, who were equipped. It was SprID§ in Northern Ohio and on a certain Saurday afternoon a group of about twenty boys, a few of whom were Scouts, start>d for the creek for the filst swim of the season. As they neared the creek they were strung out in long line down through the mseadow, UNMdressing as they ran, each trying for the honour of being the "first in."" (TDS story shows also the wisdom of the S@fety rules that we teach in Scouting, for if this group had following thos® rules, what happened afterwards would never have occurred). What did happen was this: The first boy in line WAasS undressed as he reachâ€" ed the bank the creek, made> a dive irco the wattr, went down and did not come up. The Second in line saw him dive in, quickly finished undressing and went in Aftéer him,. The second boy did not come up, After a f°ew minutes an eyelid flutâ€" trred; there was a gasp for breath. The boy woke Uup, looked around and immediately S8@ld, "Where‘s Kenny® None of them knew anything about K>nny, and +Only after questioning learned thes he was still in the creek. Acain the Scouts went into action. They organized search and eventualâ€" ly found Kenny‘s body, He was brought ut and the Scouts began to work on Him. They worked over with no results, and aféer what the boys believed was IWEenty minutes, they deâ€" cided it was no use; One said., "Ho‘s cold," agnother said, "He‘s stiff." Anâ€" cther said, "HMe‘s blue." And another said, "He‘s dead." I. A. "Ike" Solomon, of th> Mcâ€" Intyre club het?, was elected viceâ€"preâ€" <der: of the Fast*tn Ontario Baseball Association at the annual meeting held in Smith‘s Fals last week. The genial mentor of the Macs also holds a simiâ€" lar position the sxecutive of the Tâ€"miskaming league Rddie O‘Meara., of Ottawa, was named presider> of the senior grouping and W. A, R.

Anâ€" cther said, "HMe‘s blue." And another said, "He‘s dead." Just then fourteenâ€"yearâ€"old Patrol Leader came running up. Asked wha had happened. They told him Kenny was Gdead. There was no use working any more. But the Patrol Leader‘s reaction wWas immediate, "The Handâ€" book says we have got to work over him, if necessary, two hours." He organized the other Scouts and they worked in shifts Afser what seemed to them to be a half hour more there was Sign of life, and eventually Kenny woke up. Two lives were saved because of the fact that in this group of boys were a few Scouts Wwho were equipped from the s{andpoint of knowledg>, equipped from the standpoint of skill, equipped from the standpoint of character. No man in the history of the world ever accomplished anything uniess he was equipped with thess things. This story WAs told by Scout Executive West, BS.A., in "Boy‘s Life," and taken from an account sent in by Scout Exzcutive D. M. Olds. I felt tha the inspiration one can gain from this account, made it well worth whils reâ€" telling. A splendid joint meeting of the {wo French tro0ps, NOos, 4 and 8, was held last FPriday under the leadership of scouters Bouchard and DelGuidice, of the 4th, in St. Anthony‘s Church baseâ€" ment. The programme was designed to mix up all Timmins French Scouts {< fun and gmd’re"OWShip. A shor demonstration on how to make plaster casts added to the programme. Group No. 5 (Moneta) made delivery on Saturday of flowers they contracted to sell for Mothers‘ DAy. Their day‘s work was profilable to their treasury and will help them toward camping equipment, étce. In th> absence of Scouter Stevenson, who is on prospecting party, the 1st Pack will be led by Scout Cyril Knell, a very capable young Cub Leader. Troop 6 is now very busy organizing a new Scout group in Hoyle. The troop is planning a joint camp with the new group soon and investiture of the new patrol leaders will be part of the programme. Similarily Group 7 (Canadian Legion) are starting the orâ€" panization of the 9th Timmins Group among «she Ukrainian boys. BOY SCOUTS IN TIMMINS Scoutingly yours Ebr.
