The Sixth Pack are planning The Sixth Troon last week had the |a Parents‘ Night for the near future second of the outdocr meetings that | and a poingâ€"uno ceremony will be held us in faatiira tha antivitltes af: that | within the next few weeks. The Sixth Troon last week had the second of the outdocr meetings that are to feature the activitiee of that Troop during the summer months. This time thevy hiked out to Cowboy Lake where signalling and fireâ€"lighting awere bracticed. Neil Ellis, Dave Fowler and Don Rowland passed the Second Class fireâ€"lighting test and are lookâ€" forward to the time when they can tackle the cooking test. The meeting this week will be held at the Lion‘s ‘Club Hall on Thursday evening. The regular meeling of the Eighth Pack had scheduled a softball game but due to the more hockeyâ€"like weaâ€" ther this was cut short and indoor games rounded out the meeting. The Sixers and assistants have assumed the resnonsibility of assisting Akela Bouchard with the training of the younger bovs and all should profit conâ€" siderably from this arrangement. Knotting received the special attention of the Pack at their last meeting. PAGE 8T #A ts The First Timmins Troop have opened their discussions on the quesâ€" tion of camping and as vet they do not sav just what they will be doing along this line. It is safe to say that the First Troovn, as in the past, will have their full share of ouidoor acâ€" tivities. The new Patrol Leaders and Seconds in this Troop seem to be takâ€" ing hold of their new duties without losing any time. A Court of Honour meeting was held in the Troop Headâ€" quarters Saturday evening and plans for further activities were drawn up. Attention, Cubs! Akela Jack Webb of the Second Pack extends an invitaâ€" ticn to all Cubs to join the First Aid Prcficiency Badge class to be conductâ€" ed. ‘All who are anxious to receive this instruction and to earn their badge are asked to get in touch with their Akela who will pass along the applicaâ€" tions to Akela Webb who is conducting the class. The class will open on Monâ€" day, May 18th at 5.30 p.m. in the base~â€" ment of S;. Matthew‘s Church, Subâ€" sequent meetings will be at the same place and time until the course is comâ€" pleted. Compass and ~Kim‘s game featured the meeting cof the Eighth Troop last week, and the results were very enâ€" ccuraging. All Patrols made out very well on the compass game but the honâ€" ours went to the Beaver Patrol which had a slight edge over the others. In the Kim‘s game the low score was 14, and the majority passed the required 186 with ease. In future this game will be given special attention with the aim of having as many as possible roll up a pberfect count at each attempt. Preâ€" parations are under way for more First Class test work as most of the Troop have passed their Second Class Badge. The Wolf Patrol was the Honour Patrol of the evening. The meeting of the Second Pack last week was under the canable direction of Bagheera, A new Chum, Neil Church was welcomed by the Pack, It was deâ€" cided tq open the meetings with a new jungle ovnening and this vlan will be tried out this week. The Pack were asked to meet last Saturday at the school grounds to practice for the passâ€" ing of the ball throwing test. A big event in the prog Fourth and Eighth Packs conducted last Saturday A big event in the programme of the Fourth and Eighth Packs was the hike conducted last Saturday. There was a good turnout of Cubs and the hike proceeded out the old road to the Rangers Tower. Cub and Scout songs were sung all the way back, and everyâ€" ane was tired on reaching home but none the less enthusiastic about this type of activity. The regular meeting of the Fourth Pack was devoted to knot and flag work, the Sixers and older Cubs assisting the Akela. The meeting of the Fifth Pack last week was spent in reviewing First star work and with the exception of a few boys who have only recently joined the Pack all are now ready to receive their First Stars The meeting was g0nâ€" cluded by a goingâ€"un ceremony in which Cubs Raymend Carrioca and Giocondo Pontello, having passed their twelfth birthday, went up to join the Scout Troop. All the Cubs and Scouts were present for this ceremony and it was conducted very impressively by the leaders of both the Pack and the Troop. The Cubs vilanned a hike under the direction of Scouter Lucceiantonio for the purpose of passing the fireâ€"lightâ€" ing tests. An event of impor{ance to the future of the Fourth Troop was the introducâ€" tion to the Trcop of the prospective new Scout Master. Ths meeting was under the leadershin of Troop Leader Simon Magnan and the new leader, Mr. Josebh Mathys, was introduced by the Chavlain, Father Brouillard. Mr. Mathys has had experience in Scoutâ€" ing in the past and in a short talk to the boys said he would do all he could to help them to become one of the town‘s best Treops. Our best wishes go out to Mr. Mathys and congratulations to the Troop on securing his services. A joint meeting Eighth Packs was which both tried tc e Sixth and last week in hne other into Patrol Leaders who participated in the Training Course recently conducted ‘are asked to have the note books, ! sketch maps and natrol flags turned in to the District Scoutmaster by May 23. This must be done by ail PJL.‘s 'who desire to earn the bronze arrowâ€" 1head badge signifving the passing of ‘the course. Anvy further information you may require on this may be receivâ€" ed from vour Scouter, or the DSM. The regular meeting of the Eighth P Pack was held at St. Anthony‘s Hall last Thursday evening under the leadâ€" ership of Scouters Bouchard and Filâ€" lion. Gilbert Menard, Michael Kelly, Jules Fillion were presented with their First Proficiency stars, having passed the tests some time ago The Stars had been withheld until the Cubs had their uniforms. Games were conductâ€" ed during the evening and the winning Six was the Red under the leaderâ€" ship of Sixer Gilles St. Jacques. The Cubs were still talking about the hike they had with the Fourth Pack the previous Saturday. The davs are qauickly slipping@ by and | almost before we know it we will be packing for the summer camp. Some Troops have vlans well along the way while others have not vet begun. ILf yours is one of the latter, don‘t lose any mcore valuable time. Let‘s get at it and vplan our camn». The commitâ€" tee of the Executive dealing with campâ€" ing has sent out information to all Groups and notice of a meeting for this week. All are expected to have something definite to present at this meeting and the committee are desirous of assisting all Group Comâ€" mittses in taking care of any difâ€" culties that may be confronting them. Everything possible will be done to asâ€" sure each Scout an onportunity of some real Scouting in the bush. Speaking of camuving, our thoughts turn to Gilwell. As vou knew these courses are being held again this year at Blue Springs, and Headquartors are anxious to know just how many leadâ€" ers may be expected to attend from this district. All Scouters are asked to consider the nossibilities of attendâ€" ing these courses, and will be contacted by the district leaders in the near fuâ€" ture on this point. The value of these courses to Scouting in general and especially to this district cannot be too greatly stressed, and a goodly repreâ€" sentation at Blue Springs is the hope of the Executive Committee. Scouts assisting in the distribution of Red Cross last Saturday appreciated the thoughtfulness,of that organization in supplying refreshments in the way of soff drinks. The boys were really thirsty at the completion of the jchb, and the cooling drinks sure hit the spot. With the recent heavy poundings that Malta has been enduring for some time, a new list of heroes is being comâ€" piléd. Among these is a Bov Scout of Malta. He was 17 vears of age, and held a laimn throughout an entire nizht while men were extricating neople from the debris of a bombed building. He was killed a short time af‘ler when a bemb burst near a house in which he was decorating a room for a children‘s party. Ontario Gold Output Shows Decrease for First Quarter Some ‘of us might be inclined to think that the need of assistance for scouts in cther countries has been lessened through the respite the people of Britain have been enjoyving. The need for assistance is no less now than before, and again we urge all groups to continue with the fine work« they have been doing in connection with the BP. Chinsâ€"Up Fund.

It was dated *J March 24th, 1942, and reads as follows: o "It is now two vears since we first e began to distribute clothing and gifts | terr from the Canadian.

"As the raids developed our needs became more varied and urgent. Thouâ€" sands of garments had to be provided. Night after night hundreds of families were rendered homeless, their night clothing often the only possessions left to them. Stocks of Canadian clothing were rushed to emergency centres and family after familyv was fitted out. The next problem was food and once more Canada came to our aid. Soup, cheese, milk, stew â€" all were sent to us from the Canadian red Cross. Of all these gifts the soup was perhaps the most appreciated. Hundreds of cases were distributed in those early days. As the long trail of homeless men, women and children, shivering with cold and covâ€" ered with the dirt and debris from their ruined homes, reached the emergency centres, they were greeted with a bowl of lovely steaming hot Canadian soup.
