Washington Hill

Boy Scouts, Troop 9, will hold their regular Wednesday night meeting at Washington Park Corn- munity House, this evening from ! to 8 o'clock Scoutmaster Frank Sacco has given the troop some very fine instructive lessons in the art of Jujitsu.
 Last week being Boy Scout week with the slogan, Buckle Up. Tough en Up and Carry on to Victory Troop 9, feel they are doing just that when they get little more training in the Jujitsu. A large number of boys, with their Dads received Holy Communion at the 8:30 o'clock Mass at St. Francis last Sunday, and the mothers served the breakfast in the cafeteria of the Community House.
 Reception
 William F. Kelly, chairman of the committee for the outgoing off, cers party which will be held direct ly after the business meeting of Washington Park Community Club, next Tuesday night February 23rd, made final arrangements last night at the meeting. Assisting MT. Kelly on this committee are MT. Edward Hebert, Miss Mary Cullen. Loretta Brick, Mrs. B. Walsh, James Me- Carthy, Mrs. Rose Lynch, Mrs. Gus Muncinni, Miss Catherine Morris.
 Refreshments will be served in the cafeteria, and dancing will also be enjt "vd by those who wish to do so.
 Miss Marguerite Tierney, chair man of the St. Patrick's Minstrel and Dance, is calling a first re- hearsal for the minstrel on Friday nite, at 7:30 o'clock, at the Com munity House. George Casey, will be in charge of the directing the min- strel and the committee as asking any of the High School pupils who are talented alon gthese lines, to kindly come to the Community House Friday night. Of course, adults are also welcome the minstrel is not restricted to the younger peo- pie, and anyone who sings or dances, and would like to participate are asked to be at the meeting Fri. day night.
 Washington Hill has always con- tributed to the talent of the city, and while we haven't had any par ties of this kind in quite some time, with the rationing of gas, and other drastic war restrictions, people like to stay as near to their homes as possible-and Community Clubs, are a place to be made use ot now where parties along the lines of house parties can be held-but of course homes are not large enough to take care of any great number of people and the Community House can do this nicely.
