In their meeting Friday night
First Aid Troop No. IA at Bracken-
ridge Park, spent n portion of the
meeting in doing real first aid prac-

was called on for special demonstra-

scouts worked was of great value TO
all the members Of the troop. The
scoutmaster gave very instructive
talk on practical First Aid Among
Scouts" The troop as the speciality
unit in this subject is centering their
attention on first aid and the know
ledge gained is worth much TO the
boys. Excellent reports were made by
the patrols in their weekly contest
standing. The Stag Patrol under the
leadership of Albert Stoves is still
in the lead: Eagle Scout John Ridley
in charge of the Bear Patrol is max
ing good record. The Wolf Patrol
headed by Edwards Fontaine and the
Tiger Patrol led by Edward Agnew
are doing splendid work also. Follow
ing the troop meeting, short session
was held by the troop cabinet COM
posed of the officers and patrol lead
ers and the scoutmaster. The plans
for holding the seventh anniversary
meeting and get-togother OF Troop IA
