Akela escorted the boys to the jungle‘s edge where, with a few words of parting, she introduced them to Scouters Greene and Ormston, and left, with the rest of the Cubs, to reâ€" turn to the jungle. The boys were welcomed by the Scouters and introâ€" duced to the Troop, the Scouts giving three rousing cheers for the members. Following a brief talk on what would be expected of them as Scouts, all proâ€" ceeded to the councilâ€"fire site. The fire was under the care of Nell Ellis and Henry McLean, and Cubs and Scouts joined in the singing of a number of songs. Marshmallows then took over, receiving the undivided attention of all as they were toasted over the fire. The meeting closed with the singing of God Save the King and the group returned to town about nine o‘clock. The four Cubs who came up to join the Troop received the good wishes of all and are now looking forward to the time when they will:be invested as Scouts. Eighth Troop‘ Enjoy Overnight Hike Twentyâ€"five Scouts of the Fighth Timmins ‘Troop met at St. Anthony‘s Hall last Friday evening for one of the experiences of real Scoutingâ€"an overâ€" night hike. Leaving at six o‘clock they hiked to Charlebois Lake where camp was pitched and the council fire preâ€" pared.. Several Games were played beâ€" fore dark including a Treasure Hunt. Scouter Bouchard _got the worst of it in this game, and from reports hasn‘t yet fully recovered from the efâ€" fects. The council fire followed and all joined in the programme of songs and stories. Far from the least important event was the taking care of the doâ€" ughnuts, _ coffee and marshmallows which arrived on the scene, accompanâ€" ied by Father Brouillard. No trouble was encountered in taking care of this "task", not even by Scouter Bouchard, and following the close of the council fire, evening pravers were conducted by Father Brouillard. Troop Leader Lucien FPay then took charge and the Troop settled down for a good night‘s sleep. Saturday morning, following a manâ€" sized breakfast, games were again the order of the day, except for Remi who, it appeared, hadn‘t slept for several weeks. Had he been in the Bear Patâ€" rol they would have wondered whether it was Spring or late Fall. When dinâ€" ner rolledâ€" aroundâ€" all were on deck, dinner: disappeared, and all began preâ€" paring for the hike home.

Purther planning was done in connection with the summer camp and also in connectâ€" ion with National Service. A ball game was also played and from reports ~we hear it wouldn‘t be at all surprising if. the Seventh Troop were soon to issue. a challenge to all comers.

Oone of the highlights was the softball game between the Troop and the Girl Guide Company which also hiked to Charleâ€". bois. The result of the game is a bit obscure, but knowing the gallant boys: of the Third Troop we know it was the: Guides that won the game. At the regular meeting of the Troop on Tuesâ€" day evening in the Church of Nativity Hall mo‘t of the time was spent in making further plans for their annual. camp, to be held at Horseshoe Lake. Plans were also made for an outdoor meeting to include a treasure hunt and investiture. man.

While individual Troops have already put in some time on this, activitly no action has hitherto been taken by the Assocâ€" lation as a body. It is hoped that the Kiwanis will be able to use the Scouts as they are anxious to help in all Naâ€" tional Services. 7 s * f Fifth Pack, to the Six Winning the competition during the month of May, some very keen work was evident thrâ€"‘ oughtout the month. While the resâ€" ults were very close, the honours go to the Silver Six with 200 points. : The Blacks were second with 198, Greys: third with 194 and the whites fi_nished" up with 186. Points were given for games and races attendance, obedience deportment, promptness and all else that could be conducted on a competâ€" itive basis. Perhaps the next time the other Sixes will really show . the Silâ€" vers that they can win too. .

Disastrous Fire at The story of a damaging fire which occurred. near Englehart on Sunday morning of last week, is told by The New Liskeard Speaker in its last week‘s issue. The cause ‘of the fire does not seem to be clearly indicated. The following is the account of the fire as told by The New Liskeard Speaker: Disastrous Fire A disastrous fire which swept through a portion of the plant of McNamara Construction Company in Armstrong township, north of Earlton, in the early hours of Sunday morning, destroyed a number of building there, rendered useless much machinery and equipment and will retard temporarily to a conâ€" siderable extent the war work in which the company is at present engaged in different parts of the continent, inâ€" cluding Newfoundland and Labrador. McNamara Company Plant at Englehart No official estimate of the loss has been issued, but it will be very heavy, 5. J. Bird, of the company, said on Tuesday night. Mr. Bird, ,who had been absent on business, reéturned to New Liskeard on the Sunday morning train to learn of the fire, and he told the press later that, under present cirâ€" cumstances, it would be extremely difâ€" ficult to replace much of the stuff which had been lost. Explosion in Coal Bin May Have Caused the Blaze. The fire is believed to have had its origin in anexplosion of a quantity of coal stored in a shed adjoiningâ€" the boiler room, which was at the south end of a series of buildings that inâ€" cluded the machine shop, garage, machinery overhauling shop and wareâ€" house. An attempt was made to check the progress of the fiames by wreckâ€" ing the garage, but while the "bullâ€" HE year 1933 represented a "low‘" in tonnage of ore and rock mined or quarried in Canada. Since this date there has been a steady and progressive increase in tonnage.each year, the figure for 1940 being almost triple that of 1933. The same year of 1933 represented a "high" in consumption of explosives per ton mined or quarried. There has been an almost steady and constant drop since this time, so that consumption per ton in 1940 was approximately 20% under that for 1933, as shown in the accompanying graph. Several factors combined to bring about this improvement. The more important Efficiency serious feature of the blaze would be the difficulty of replacing the material lost. mm outside equinment was not affected. The Eariton plant had been in use as the main repair depot in Canada for the company‘s defence program work, Mr Bird told the press, Plans are being made for carrying on temâ€" porarily, and decision later will be made on more permanent repairs to the property. Inspectors from various insurance companies tisited the plant on Monday and Mr. Bird said the loss was covered by insurance, but the most This included, he said, the entire conâ€" tents of the machine ship,, machinery and stores, lathes, repair parts, one big truck and a big shovel with a capacity of a yard and a half. The buildings were of frame construction,, with galâ€" vanized iron. So rapidly did the flames spread that it was almost impossible to stem their course with the extinâ€" guishers available, and the fire made steady progress against a strong north wind blowing at the time. Good work by the men who fought the fire saved other property, Mr. Bird said The fire was first observed about three o‘clock in the morning by the watchman on duty and he summoned help through the men sleeping in the camp, of whom there were a number, it was stated. The buildings were dry as tinder and were easy prey to the flames, and so fiercely did the fire burn that within about two hours it was over and the destruction done.. Mr. Bird said that earlier this month fire inâ€" spectors had examined the equipment kept on hand for fighting fires and had ruled it satisfactory.
