an excellent hound and he hopes to
make good with him.
The other patrol has been named
the Flying Eagle patrol and they ex-
pect to run away with the Hounds.
We had fifteen minute period of
knot tying and learning. We also ex-
pected to have some signalling but in
the midst of our discussions we were
surprised by three visitors. Mr..
Ducy and Mr.. Mcdonald. After short
conversation with Rev. p. Cyril Zupan.
who was also present. Mr.. Huber gave
us fine lesson in astronomy.
He showed us several consultations
and their names; particularly. the
three principal consultations of stars.
tho Great Dipper, Cassiopeia, ursa
Major. and the North Star. The Great
Dippcr is a part OF the constellation of
Ursa Major. or the Great Bear.
1t was ono of tho first lessons given
us in astronomy and VIC all enjoyed
IL.
After this followed tho eats and
all ate with the relish of thrcsher.
Several speakers were expected to
be present but failed to appear. Mr..
Huber. however, volunteered TO be the
first person on the program and gave
us an interesting talk on the Scout
Movement of our city. As he likes to
joke. Mr.. Krasovitz SAYS he would
conclude his speech by two good
jokes.
Then all OF sudden Father Minot
OF st. Francis church appeared on
the scene. Hc was also given some re-
freshments as no ono was barred and
was loudly applaudcd when he gave us
speech. He cncouragingly spoke on
the development OF a scout and ad-
vanccment in Scouting and Merit
Badges. and finished with one OF his
well known jokes. Father Minot is a
great speaker.
Father cyril also spoke very clo-
uuently on Scouting under Catholic
leadership" and Perseverance"
Tho three visitors then departed for
the night. but Father Minot re-
manned.
Mrs. Krasovitz was thanked for her
kindness in serving us with the eats.
Tho last talk was given by Scout
Fred Perko in the Flying Eagle patrol.
His story consisted of his experience
with brother scout. in n case OF
treatment for faintinE. and his scout
knowledge gave him u CroAt aid and
he had had the opportunity of n real
good turn. Our next meeting Will be
dandy. The Scouting spirit is getting
stronger and stronger in the troop now
that the patrols are formed.
The attendance contest is proving
TO be n great event and both patrols
are showing some good work. There
will he n knot tioing contest between
, the patrols at the next meeting, and
several different contests will be held
as tho troop progresses. It has been
impossible to take tests for tho ma
jority of the scouts and the rest see
ing that most OF tho others did not
take tests, became discouraged, and
thus tho troop has been slow in pass
ing tests for while. We hope to
begin TO pass tests quite soon and
hope TO have many second class
scouts. JOSEPH MERHAR,
