Scouter King almast threw his arm out of joint in the fielding activities, and it is alâ€" leged that Scouter Greone, after a couple of innings, thought the game had turned into a cross country race and couldn‘t stop running. Or maybe he thought if he did he wouldn‘t be able to get started again.. Carl Dukeâ€" Sixth Troop Eniors Evening of Softball â€"Ths rogular mee‘ling of the Sixth Timmins Troop last week tookt the form of a softball game. A number of the Scouts had previously formed a team, and they were pitted against the full strength of the other members. The game was hectic to say the Home runs were almost as common as errors, and maybe there weren‘t plenty of swimming are only a few of the sports enjoyed by the bovs over the weekend. Honouwrs for the camp went to the Red Six who came out on top in the comâ€" petitive standings of the Sixes. Sunâ€" day night the Cubs returned home after a very successful camp and we are sure that their parents had to listen to many a tale before the boys were finâ€" ally off to bed. The Cubs were accomâ€" panied by Akelas Rivet and Lemieux and Assistant LaViolette and Rivet, and all are hoping that further such expeditions will be in store for them during the summer months. Cubs of Fourth and Eighth Packs Go Camping Barber‘s Bay was the scene of many a boyish prank over the past weekâ€"end as 14 Cubs of the 4th and 8th Packs enjoyed their first camping expedition A train ride and a hike found the boys in a swimming mood so a cooling plunâ€" ge was enjoyed by all immediately after their arrival at the campsite on Friday afternoon. Activitiese that have been Icoked forward to for a long time by the boys were commenced immediately. and almos before anyone realized it bedâ€" time had rolled around and the Cubs turned in for their first night in camp. Morning found them all eager to get going, and soon after breakfast all started out on a hike. The destination was McIntosh Springs, and the boys greatly enjoyed watching the two bear cubs a@t.play. (Games, softball, hiking, The Baden Powell Chins Up Pund, serving the dual purpose or commemâ€" orating the founder of Scouting, the late Lord Baden Fowell, and giving real assistance to Scouts and their famâ€" who hnave suffered from effects of the war, is still making marked headâ€" TObal:.;::%;.........., $157.50 The Mark for the Timmins District is growing closer and closer to oneâ€" half of the objective of one dollar per registered member. How soon will the halfâ€"way mark be reached, and how scon after will we make it one hundred per cent? way in Timmins. Following up the donation of five dollars received from the Fourth Timmins Packs, the Fourth Troop has forwarded eight dollars to the fund. Part of this sum was subâ€" scribed by the boys and the balance was earned by them on a recent Troop efâ€" fort. The donation comes as most boys are preparing for the camping season and for that reason means that much more of a sacrifice on their part. They are showing the real Scouting spirit of assisting their Brother Scouts and others. The Sixth Timmins Troop has also made another fine donation to the Fund, and have not only regained the honour of being the Troop having donâ€" ated the highest sum per boy, but have gained such a lead that it will take the greatest efforts on the part of any Troop or Pack to again take the honâ€" oured spot away from them. The Sixth have forwarded a donation of six dolâ€" lars and twentyâ€"five cents, raised in the same: way as the donation of the Fourth Greoup, and their total to date is $14.43,. The latest figures on all Packs and Trcops follow:â€" Sixth Troop .......... .. $14.4 Pirst Troop ........... 13.0 Seventh Troop ... 15.8 Fourth Troop ... 10.7 Fifth Troop .......... 10.7 Second Troop ....... 90.7 Third Troop ... 13.C Sixth Pack ... 18.1 Second Pack ........ 14."

Many difficulties are beâ€" ing encountered due to wartime reâ€" strictions, but the Scouts are not being discouraged by them. Steps are being taken to overcome many of them, and with the sssistance of..the Group Comâ€" mittee of the Canadian Legion, their proud sponsors, they are showing real progress. At the last meeting of the Trcosp Lyndon Sylor completerl the Second Class First Aid test, and the c‘her Scouts received instruction in this field. A hike planned for the weekend had to be postponed due to those "censored" conditions which have been prevalent of late. A ball team is also in the making in this Troop, and the boys will soon be ready for some real competition. falo Patrol now boas‘s of a new Patrol Leader, Michael Kelly, and he is exâ€" pected to lead them to new game ano glory. Plans were discussed for anâ€" other hike to enable the boys to comâ€" plete more of their Second Class tests. This will be another in a series that the Fourth Troop has been conducting for the past month or more, and their popularity is steadily growing with the boys. Another Outdoor Meeting For the Ninth Troop Sensing the feelings of the Scouts in the matter of outdoor meetings, leaders of the Ninth Timmins again conducted a meeting in the wide open spaces. This time the Troop proceeded to the vicâ€" inity : of Gold Centre and the meeting was conducted in a spot known only to them. A number of wide games, giving the boys an opportunity of givâ€" ing full play to their steadily expandâ€" ing Scouting knowledge, were played and heartily enjoyed. The Wolf Patrol showed a slight edge over the Beavers last week, but in keeping with their hardâ€"working reputation the same Bsavers are out to turn the tables Then the softballâ€"bug got a good bite. and while details of the scuffle are lacking we hear that the Bzsavers were on the short end of an 11â€"2 score. Next week‘s meeting will be under the leadâ€" ership of Scouter Campbell, Scouter Stoneman being out of town for a few days. shire found he really could catch the ball, after he had thrown the glove away, and proceeded to show his wares to the opposing team. Umpiring was done by a couple of onlookers, but after they called one right the surprise was too much and they left. The game continued "umpireâ€"less." The showe:! that began threatened to end the game, but no one had yet enough and everyâ€" thing went right on. Yes, even the score, which some time previously had reached figures in the thirties, seemed to swell with the rain. Please don‘: ask what the final results were, because they were lost track of long before the game was called for the want of higher figures to record the runs. The Scouts decided that such highlyâ€"touted teams as those of the Fifth and several othe: Troops were no match for the Sixth, and so would challenge another of the lesser teams for a warmâ€"up. You know just to give the others a chance to realize that the Sixth really has class! The weather has put a bit of a crimp in such activities for the past few days, but any day now the classy aggregation of the Sixth Troop will be out "strutâ€" ting their stuff." If the "stuff" is not immediately evident, just put it down to the extreme modesty of the boys and watch them having the time of their lives. Fourth Troop Invests Seven New Scouts Roger Vaillancourt, Maurice Duroâ€" cher. Gabriel Blais, Gerald Bisson, Gilâ€" bert Menard, Maurice Michaud and Henri Robitaille, seven recruits of the Fourth Timmins Troop who for the past few weeks have been mastering the Tenderfoot tests, were invested as fullâ€"fledged Scouts at a meeting last week. Scouter Mathys was in charge of the mecting, and he and his Assistâ€" ants conducted a ceremony that brought the boys to fully realize the importance of the step they were takâ€" ing. Each of the new Scouts subscribâ€" ed to the Scout Promise before his Brother Scouts, and are out to do their best to live up to the traQitions of Sscouting. The meeting was rounded out by a number of games and the Cat Patrol was able to show their superiorâ€" ity for thggevening at least. The Bufâ€" falo Patrol now boas‘s of a new Patrol it. Then the patient asked the physiâ€" cian to lend him the money. The physâ€" ician carefully scratched out a part of the prescription and handed it back, with 10 cents, remarking: "You c4n have that filled for a dime. Whkat I scratched out was for your nerves." â€" Sudbury Star. Afiter writing a prescription the physâ€" ician told him that the druggist would probably charge him 60 cents for filling Presbyterian Church Ladies Meeting at Mrs. Caves Home The knitting circle of the Mackay Presbyterian Church met at the home of Mrs. W.

THEY‘RE ALL RIGHT The stage of St. Anthony‘s parish hall was beautifully decorated with flowers, ferns, plants and bunting for the annual graduation exercises of St. Mary‘s hospital on Tuesday evening. June 13th, 1933. The hall was crowded to capacity for‘ the occasion and the event proved a most interesting one. Rev. Fr. Theriault carried throug"‘ the duties of chairman with his usual wit and rhumour. The programme opened with ‘*Processional March" played for Mrs. M. Boutin in effective way. The ‘"Welcome Song," by the class was a very pleasing number. An outstandâ€" ing feature of the evening was the "Salutory‘"‘ given by Miss J. McGale. In delivery as well as in its notable material this feature of the evening is worthy of special note. To the grauâ€" uating nurses Miss McGale gave the noble message that service is the true, the only high road to sucess. Rt. Rev Bishop Rheaume presentad jthe plomas to the graduates. The graduâ€" ates for 1933 were:â€" Miss Violet Rose McGale, Miss Irene Mary Clement. Miss Ellen Mary Wilkes, Miss Margâ€" aret Frances Doherty, Miss Clare Ella Lamothe, and Sister Paul Emillé. As the diplomas were presented by the Bishop and the class pin affixed, charmâ€" ing little girls stepped forward and preâ€" sented each of the graduates with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. ‘The regular weekly luncheon of the Timmins Kiwanis Club was held ten years ago at the Empire hotel wiin Viceâ€"President Vince Woodbury in the chair, and the meeting proved one ot outstanding interest and entertainment. Two very skilled experts from Conâ€" klins Shows, here under the auspices of the Canadian Legion, wére present and delighted the members of the with their conjuring and other clever tricks.. Their rope stunts were now only amusing but most mystifying and what they could not do with carcs was no man‘s business. The egg trick was especially good.~ The Kiwanis enjoyed the entertainment given by these ciever experts at the time they were doings their stunts, and afterwards had furâ€" ther interest puzzling as how some of the notable tricks were done. The two gentlemen from Conklin‘s made a nit with the Kiwanis and left the impresâ€" sion on most that the Conklin‘s Shows were superior to most in staff as well as in other ways. Among the local and personal ite:ms in The Advance ten year ago were une fcllowing:â€" "H. A. Armstrong was a visitor to North Bay this week." ~"Mr. and Mrs. H. C.

Parson, Moise Maitais, and J. Morrison present. A letter signed by J. P. Bartleman, secretary, on behaif of the Ratepayers‘ Association, was reaq. The letter asked the council not to acâ€" cede to the request suggested as commg from employers that relief be stopped in cases where men refused to accept wages considered as too low. There was much discussion of the idea of cutâ€" ting off relief entirely the single men who had refused to accept work. It was reported that Eilver and Sharp wouid not employ these men now because 0: the trouble they had made the year before. Some of the council were o1 the opinion that if they were refused employment the council could scarcely cut them off relief_for refusing to work. In reply to question, Relief Officer T. Ei. Dunn said that there were 158 singlie men now getting meal tickets. Of this number there were 136 or 140 able to cut pulpwood. Councillor Parsons pointed out that if these men were fused work it was their own fault. They had created unnecessary and useless trouble the year before, trying to preâ€" vent men who wanted to work from doâ€" ing so. A very pleasant evening was spent ten years ago at the home of Miss Clara Wakeford, 22 Messines avenue, when tweniyâ€"two of her girl friends heipeda to celebrate her thirteenth birthday Clara received many beautiful presâ€" ents.

After tea, the guests enjoyed several garies some winning prizes. ‘There was also much real talent in singing and dancing and recitations. The party finished with the girls singing. "For She‘s a Jolly Good Fellow," and Auld Lang Syne," and all thanked Mrs. Wakeford for the good time and the souvenir gifts she gave them at the close of the happy event.

Mrs. Harnd2sn appealed to the members as citizens to do someâ€" thing to help right these deplorable conditions. The fireasurer‘s report, presented by Mrs. W. Barber, included financial reâ€" turns from the catering for Cochrane Presbyterial and for the annual choir bangquet.

The W.MS. has appointed special workers to assist in this huge task. Among the returned missionary speakers at the conference was Miss E. Sediard, who brought an encouraging message of the work in Japan where she said, the seed sown had borne fruit and would continue to do so, forming after the war had ceased. Mrs. E. A. Knechtel spoke for the church of Korea where so much had been done in. the ministry of health «and education as well as religious teaching, and Miss G. Nyce told of the work in India with its teeming millions. The speakers affirmâ€" ed, continued Mrs.â€" Jackson, that after the war, ambassadors of Goodâ€"Will will be needed more than ever and in this connection gave the little poem "Will You Light A Candle." Will You Light A Candle? All ye who Christians be, Oh, light my tiny candle here for me. It has gone out; I am not very oid, And as I travelled in the cold A bitter windâ€"with all his might Blew, and put out my little light. All ye who Christians be, Will you not list to me, Who have so often prayed I might not be afraid? I am a little frightenedâ€"can‘t you see? Oh, light my little candle here for me. â€"â€" Edna Norman. A Westerner entered a saloon with his wife and threeâ€"yearâ€"old boy. He ordered two straight whiskies.
