Rivet have earned the Interpreter Badge unâ€" der the guidance of Mr. F. Gauthier. The interest being taken in these badges by the examiners is very encouraging to the Association and leaders, and the fine work being done by the boys! shows that they realize the value of the badâ€" ges and are out to qualify for as many as possible. Fifth Troop Holds Show Tuesday An annual event to which the memâ€" bers of the Fifth Timmins Troop look forward, the Troop Hobby Show, was held in the Moneta School on Tuesday evening. At the time of writing full rsports were not available, but we will give all the details next week. It goes without saying:that, following upon seâ€" veral previous displays, the boys showâ€" ed their various interests in the hobâ€" bies displayed, and competition is keen as to whish of the boys will win high honours. Last Friday evening the FPifth Troop played host to members of the Third Treop. The highlight of the meetâ€" ing was the campfire programme in which the Wolf Patrol of the Fifth Troop sitrutted their entertaining abilâ€" ities to the applause of the other memâ€" bers. Father Callaghan, Scoutmaster of the Third Troop, did his bit to liven up the meeting, and was heartily apâ€" plauded by the boys. Several games were played between the Troops, and after a most enjoyable meeting the eâ€" vent closed with the lowering of the flag and Scout Silence. Scouts Turn Out To Assist Victory Loan > The first call for an effort on the part of the Scouts in connection with the Fourth Victory â€"Loan was made last weekâ€"end, and as a result about fifty of the boys turned out to distribute posters and advertising to stores throughout the town,. Scouts are alâ€" ways eager to assist in any way with such national efforts, and take prids in the fact that officials recvognize their ability and dependability in turning over such duties to them. Doing their best is their aim, and the boys don‘t spare their efforts to make this goal as high as possible. Ambulance Course Opens For First, Third Troops Another of those excellent courses in First Aid, aiming at qualifying the boys taking it for the Ambulance Badge, is being conducted for Scouts of the First and Third Troops. Over thirty boys are turning out for instruction and practice unrder the guidance of Mr. P. Keast of the S. John Ambulance Briâ€" zgade. Mr. Keast has taken part in several of the courses already completed and in which the boys showed such axcellent results from the instructions received, and he has the boys taking this course right on their toes and sirivâ€" ing to get the utmost from his insgirucâ€" tions. The course will be run over a period of several weeks, and we wiil be giving you more detailed information before it is completed.

Scventh Troop Welcomes Former Scouter at Meeting Scouter Jimmy Cowan, active with the Seventh Troop beforse his enlistâ€" ment, last week was welcomed by the boys of the Troop and all hope that ho will again take up Scouting with them. .

Besides are these activities the boys were instructed in Semaphore.sigâ€" nalling, and the recruits were busy with the Tenderfoot tests. Several interestâ€" ing and lively games were played under the direction of Scouter Cowan, and the ‘boys enjoyed the mseting to the utmost. Passing Cub Tests When it comes to passing tests and badges we can all be sure that the First Timmins Cub Pack wil be right among the leaders, and this is borne out by the report of last week‘s meeting. First of all they announce the acceptance in to the Pack of four recruits, Lyall Harâ€" rower, Jimmy Luxmors, Kenneth Cooke and Kenneth Martin. Lyall has already completed the Tenderpad tests and is ready to be invested, and the oth@r boys will be ready within a week or two.

A hike for Patrol Leaders and Secâ€" onds of the Eighth Timmins Troop is planned by the Court of Honour for the purpose of giving the oldeér memâ€" bers of the Troop special instruction in Scouting. The P. L« and Seconds will then be given the responsibility of passing the instruction along to their boys on future hikes. The Honour Flag last week was captured by the Beaver Patrol, and plans are being made for the investiture of a number of recent recruits that have completed their Tenâ€" derpad tests. Due to the Easter weekâ€" end the Troop will no hold a meeting this week, the next scheduled for Apâ€" ril 30th. Three Fifth Pack Cubs: Pass Tenderpad Tests Thrse more members of the Fifth Timmins Pack have completed thei Tenderpad tests and will shortly be made Cubs in an investiture ceremony.

Sixth Troop Accepts New Probationer Accepted by the Court of Honour of the Sixth Timmins Troop for a proâ€" bationary period of four weeks, Jimmy Maloquin is out to show the Troop that he will make a good Scout and a firstâ€" rate member of the Troop. ‘Alrecady he has completed a number of the Tenderfoot tests and has started off on the right road to good Scouting. The boys were sorry to hear that Robert Wright had left town for life on the farm, and since we do not know as yet whether it is to be a permanent change they are hoping that he will be back with them. We reported sevâ€" eral weeks ago that the Troop Scribe was to be Martin Kasobuski, but it seems we got our signals switched. Morris Kuzyk is handling the scribe duties and he is doing a nice job of it. Billy Roychuk and Darrell McLaughin passed their Second Class signalling and will soon be wearing the badge of Second Class Scouts. All Troops and Packs are asked to keep in mind the next collection of fats, scheoduled for May 1, and that we are out to do, if possible an even better job than that of last week. And speakâ€" ing Of last week‘s, our sincere thanks, fellows, for the fine showing. It is a real wartime service, and one which is apreciated by all. Keep up the good work and Good Scouting.

Ryp .m Complaints from Cochrane Last week The Advance published the part of the report of the previous meetâ€" ing of the Cochrane town council, where complaint was made in reference to the train service from Porquis Junetion to Cochrane and retuwn. The resolution passed by the Cochrane council dealt particularly with the type of railway cars used and asked for something better. In The Northland Post last week, there is the following reference to the matter in the report of last week‘s meeting of the Cochrane councll:â€" "A promise to inquire into complaints about the coaches used on the Porquisâ€" Cochrane run was contained in: a letâ€" ter addressed to the town council by T. N. O. Chairman A. H. Cavanagh. "In acknowledging the council‘s repâ€" luticn asking for more comfortable serâ€" vice, Mr. Cavanagh pointed out that the run occupied only an hour. Since the coaches had been taken into the shops some inequalities in riding qualiâ€" ties had been found, and it was hoped that improvements could be made. ‘Mr. Cavanagh asked for specific inâ€" dications‘ of the uncomfortable features and various councillors procéeded to enumerate them but it was decided ‘to wait until the railway chalrman arâ€" rived in town to answer his question. Among the reasons given for the unâ€" popularity of the coaches were their general unsuitability, they having been originally built as streat cars and being therefore too narrow and light for long trips; the crowding together of the sats, and their general dirtiness."
