T SCOUTS SHOW CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

The open meeting of Troop 5 Wednesday evening, showing many phases of scouting, was a-success and demonstrated many things of interest to the guests of the meeting. The scouts extended the "cash and carry" ?an to the securing of the Christmas tree which will be a part of the entertainment to be given to many children of the city by the "Y" dormitory" men. The way thr-y did this Was to vote two dollars from the troop treasury to the purchasing of decorations for the tree, and besides, six or seven scouts volunteered to go "on a long hike Saturday morning, December IS, and get the tree, leaving the association building at 8 a. m. Scoutmaster Wilson announced that five points would be awarded to the patrol which was most represented In getting the tree. Upon the suggestion of one of the members of the Silver Fox patrol, the scouts decided to give a basket of food and clothing to some needy family for Christmas. This basket will be delivered next Friday After some exhibitions of signalling, first aid and woodlore by the different patrols, the present point standing was announced. It showed the Wood Pigeons at the top with 19 points, followed close at their heels by the Silver Foxes with 18 points. The Black Bears are credited with 8 points. The motion to change the present ruling in regard to the attendance was carried and voted upon. The result was the adoption of a new ruling to the effect that anyone obsent from two official meetings in a month without a sufficient explanation of his absence would be automatically expelled from the troop. Scoutmaster Wilson announced that the next official meeting of the troop would be on Monday evening, January 3, 1921, at 7 o'clock prompt. After the meeting, all scouts present joined in some "snappy" games. SCRAP .BOOKS SENT TO JUNIOR INVALIDS Fun? We should ray so! It is lots of fun to cut out. pictures, bright ones; funny ones, pretty ones, and pictures which look like a story in themselves, and then get out the bottle of paste and a great big book and paste them all in, just the way in which we think they look best, i es, scrap-books are fun. The boys and girls of the fifth grade of Finley school thought it was so much fun to make scrapbooks that they made some in their room real pretty ones and, then, knowing how much fun it is to look at them, they sent them to Reid Memorial hospital, where boys and girls who come there may look at them. Children and juniors aie often patients in the hospital, and often come with their parents to visit people. Sometimes they just ache for something to do. And these scrapbooks will help a great deal toward curing that ache, anyway. Brady sDionissio's B. B. Teams in Lead JUNIOR. ...
