 Troop 10.
 Troop 10 organized so late in the spring that it was decided to keep ac- | tive all summer. A series of instruc- 1 tive and interesting lectures in first 1 aid, have been given by Albert | Aberg, who received a diploma from | a Y. M. c. A. course in first aid His topics covered both the second and i first class requirements demon | stration with the aX was given by Rev MT. Varley-
 | The regular by-weelzly hikes have
 been largely attended. and by faith | full service on the part of the scouts 1 they have been able to pass their sec | end class requirements. The troor 1 now consists Of second class scouts l and 8 tenderfeet. On September g, scouts took their first class swim. An 1lleT-patrOl contest. mas peer started, cooking being the first event which the Stags won points to 4 'Too many cooks spoil the broth" but | it seems to improve with the Stags and 1 they succeeded in outclassing the | Flying Eagles with a hunters stew
 but Chef Heaps of the Flying Eagles | came back strong in making pancakes which the judge pronounced delicious Earl Ray and Herbert Renard are the 1 newest enlisted scouts.
 The Taftviae boys have always | been dangerous contenders and it is the aim of Troop 10 to keep her name | well to the front in scoutcraft. A STE soap order is ready to send in and 2
 half ton of newspapers has beer gathered, from which the treasury
 ought to benefit by about $45. Har-
 old Heap won first prize, selling S2C
 worth; Earl Ray second. with S17.5( worth. The troop wishes to thank all those who have allowed such Eber- al privileges as they have enjoyed Such acts will be long remembered and it is hoped that good turns vii sometime recompense.
