North Ryegate Women
Solving the III. G.. L.

Five women of North Ryegate saw
ed $63.15 during the month of Janu-
airy by making over their own gar
ments. Five dresses, two suits for
small boys, seven pairs of stockings,
two pairs Of mittens, and five boys
shirts were made from materials
which were on hand and alterations
were made on one skirt. The saving
of $63.15 does not include the saving
in materials; but it was accomplished
by the work being done in the home
and under the supervision of Miss
Mabel Kelly, Home Demonstration
Agent for Caledonia county.
Every woman in this particular
community in North Ryegate is a
Farm Bureau member and they have
been studying ways and methods of
remodeling garments. When a mem
Der completed garment in January,
she reported it to Mrs. Edwin Rem
frew, the local chairman. Several
more garments are being transformed
from a suit to a dress, or vice versa,
and will be reported in February.
The project will be continued in this
way for several months.
North Ryegate women are not
stopping with the clothing work
either. By canning their own meats,
under the local leadership Of Miss

TROOP 3

saturday at the -. NJ. y. "A. WIFI all
members present. One very success
full social has been held and COM
mittee previously appointed reported
that plans had been completed for an
other one shortly.
The drive for first class scouts is
now well under way and the scouts
are passing their tests with great IA
pidity.
A scout from Troop 1, West Burke
and one from Troop 1, Barnet, were
most welcome visitors at the last
meetings. They both report that
scouting is progressing very rapidly
in those places.
Basket ball, which seems to be the
most interesting sport of the troop
at this time, is proving to be very
successful with the Troop team thus
far, for on Saturday, Jan. II, they
met and defeated the Pickups by a
score of SO to 9. The game was full
of its usual thrills from start to fin
ish although Troop held the upper
hand after the first to score, but
Troop 8 soon followed and then
gradually drew away. The shooting
of Ellis, N. Pike, ] Pike and Dickin-
son, and the guarding of Mcnamara
were the features. The lineup:

On Saturday, January 81, Troop
won its eighth consecutive victory by
winning from the Pickups by a'score
of II TO 81. This game was by lar
the fastest game that the Troop has
plaved and was due to the all-round
plaving of Foye, who kindly gave his
services during half the game IN
order to help the Troop in its weekly
practice. Had the Pickups possessed
another artist like this player, Troop
8 would have found difficulty. The
