There will be a big crowa that day for the three badges are being tried--Knitter, Toymaker and Needlewoman. That sewing badge is one of the ones that you must have to be a First Class Guide and so it is ome that everyone should strive to get. Knitting is not hard, just the plain kind, but in order to wear a Knit- ter's Badge a Guide must be able to knit a pair of stockings or sox, and the turning of a heel is a real achievement, The toys that are being made for the Toymakers Badge will come in handy for the Christmas boxes, won't they? That is a badge that is always taken just before the Christmas season for that very reason. How are you coming on with your carol singing? It is hoped that the Guides from all the com- panies will be able to join in the Christmas carols, and go with the party when they go out on their carol-singing tour, at Christmas, Wouldn't it- be great if there was snow enough to go in a sleigh? The carols that will be sung are "Hark, the herald angels sing." This well-known one had the words written by Charles Wesley in 1739 and the music set to it in 1840 by Mendelssohn. That old traditional hymn, whose words were harmoniz- ed by Sir John Stainer, "The first nowell" will be on the list. The famous Adeste Fideles of the 17th century Latin church, our own beautiful "0, come all ye fatthtul" should be a favorite. Franz Gru- ber's setting of that lovely Mohr hymn "Holy night! Peaceful night!" must not be left off, nor "0, little town of Bethlehem." Then to finish off the program, that Jue old carol "Good King Wensce- as." If any compnay has any special carols that they are preparing, it they will let Mrs. Ratcliffe know fit will be included on the program. If there are any solo singers in any company, it would add a variety to the list, and would be lovely to ve. Brownies The Brownies are looking for- ward to their Christmas Party which will be held on the 17th of December and are very anxious to know if there will be a Christmas tree. There most probably will be one and the Brownies will have a real good time, ¢ How ahout the toys for the Toy- Shop--are there any more Brown- jes who have old toys that they are willing to give to some poor little girl or boy? \ 1st Oshawa Company The girls of the first company are preparing for their Toy Makers' and Needlewoman's badges. Some of the contestants have made tricky little pieces of furniture for their doll houses, Dorothy Vamplew has knitted a pair of socks for her Knitter's badge and they look as though they "would be warm and comfy, The company was glad to see Joan Townsend when she paid them a visit on Monday evening. Joan has recently joined the 3rd Oshawa Company. 2nd Oshawa Co. The Second Oshawa Company met as usual on Wednesday with a very good attendance. Parents' Night has now been postponed until Dec. 17th. instead of the 10th, so if anybody wants to be enrolled or receive their Second Class before the 17th they had bet- ter hurry, Mrs. Ratcliffe paid 2nd Oshawa a visit on Wednesday and suggestea that the 3 companies join together in carol singing during Christmas week. Mrs. Spinks read one of the se- ries of stories which are being read to the company. When these sto- ries have all been read, the Guides are asked to write an essay on their favorite story and reasons for it. Sick Nurse Badge. is on Saturday at 2,00 p.m. over the Fire Hall. 8rd Oshawa The Guides of Third are appre- clative of the Queen Mary Candy Shop on King Street east, for it is selling home made fudge and ma- ple cream for them. Such a fine trip the Third had on Thursday night, with Ruth Moore across to England, hearing about the fogs and icebergs, and how sea- sick Ruth was! Then about her trips to the seashore, and riding the donkeys, and then to see the Guards changing at Buckingham Palace, what a sight that must have been! More trips will be taken in the future on the magic carpet. Miss Hezzelwood was back with the company last night, and taught the recruits the whistle signals, af- ter which Mrs. Ratcliffe took games, and found out how well all the Guides knew them. Two visitors from the 1st Oshawa joined in the country dancing, and in pow-wow the company was happy to welcome a Guide from Owen Sound and one from Huntsville. Miss Moyse took the opening exercises and led the carol singing. A little boat, that got stuck away out in the lake, was rescued by a big motor launch and towed in safely to shore with a Fisherman's Knot, when Miss Mun- dy took the helm. Then all the little tugs tried a rescue, and some of them got safely to land, but others are still marooned out in the cold icy waters! Maybe next week they will manage to get in.

The first outrage which was called to the attention of the police was the robbery and murder at the country home of Lord Yard- ley, then a peer in the House of Lords--a robbery and murder so clever that even the experts of Scotland Yard could find no work- able clue. True, there had been clues, but only blind ones, thought out by the ingenious mind of some master erook. In all the annals of London's crime there had been no sleuth to compare with this un- nown, heartless, insidious ecrimi- ml. I say he was unknown, and 0 Me was, but they knew his name. was Roger Couvrant, the per- verted son of a noble Erelish fam- ily, who had been disinherited when young, and vowing himself to a life of crime, had disappeared from view. This first deed of violence was followed by a countiess number of like atrocities even more daringly and thoughtfully nlanned and car- ried to completion than the first. There was the robbery at the Ex- chavge Office, the jewel mystery at Buckingham Palace, shortage of gecurities at the Bank of England, and similar attacks on the mansions of the peers and no-! bore unmis- | being perpe- | that of | the fearless and impeturable Roger | him, | bles of Mayfair. All takable evidence of trated by the same hand, Couvrant. No one had seen no one knew what he looked like, no one knew where he lived, and | thus these horrible deeds went uu- checked. All London, from Chief Justice to newsboy, expectancy and all were admittedly outwitted Couvrant was known to have two accomplices, picked from the under- world of the city, and these were being hunted down like rats, with- out pity or mercy. The police were gradually closing in upon them and if they were caught, Ccuvrant would likely be with them, But just where were those men--that was the question. On Monkton Street, within the shadows of many tall pines, stood a noted house, dark and drear. It | was noted for the many years it had lain vacant, the victim of fear and suspicion. It was haunted. On a late November afternoon the wind was swirling about the house carrying with it the dust and dirt of an ill-kept London street, while in a top room sat a man, ri- gid and immovable as a sphinx, faintly discernible In the rapidly darkening gloom. The walls of the room were bare, matching the carpetless floor and the once-plas- tered ceiling. This figure sat in the middle of the apartment, facing a door about five paces away. He was dressed in the most fashionably cut clothes, silk top-hat, smooth fit- ting coat over spotless evening clo- thes, and shining patent-leather shoes--a well-dressed gentleman for those bleak surroundings. But his face was drawn and white; the veins stood out on his forehead like the muscles on an athlete, and the perspiration dripped fron them: every feature was strained and tense. He had been in that posi- tion for eight, long, stifling hours and now the time had come to act, Could he carry his plan to comple- tion? Would he falter? He knew there was someone {in that next room, two he thought, and they must not know he was near. He arose and began to bend his knees and swing his arms, loo- sening his muscles for their ap- proaching trial--the trial which would mean freedom or---------, he dared not think of that other word. Slowly, so slowly, the space be- tween himself and the door lessen- ed, painstakingly one foot followed another until he was at the door with his hand upon the knob. He listened for five minutes; he listen- ed for ten minutes; then he heard a faint scratch beyond the door. He was right. They were there. All he needed now was care and pati- ence. Ah, patience. How he hated that word. For the last eight hours he had employed that gift but now it was exhausted. No, he mustn't say that, just a few more minutes and it would be all over, his life would be redeemed. With a muttered prayer he turn- ed the knob and the door opened, inch by inch, until he saw what he had hoped and prayed for, two huddled figures in the far corne: with their backs towards him, He thanked God--or the Devil--for the patience which had been given him. Stealthily crossing the room he seized the collar of the smaller man and at the same time he placed a revolver against the back of the other. "Get up," he whispered, "and be quiet, understand!" Too astounded to speak, these human wrecks rose and staggered toward the other door. They had been caged in that cell for thirteen long hours, waiting for the cordon of police to leave the neighborhood, but the police had stayed, and, con- sequently, so had they. The well: dressed gentleman prodded them down a dingy staircase and out into the shadow of the lawn. One of the figures glanced at him and gasp- ed, but nothing more. That revol- ver hurt. Taking a police whistle from a pocket, the gentleman blew {it shril- ly and immediately a corps of pol- icemen and a crowd of onlookers appeared from nowhere. The man with the whistle walked up to the gergeant and handed over his pri- soners. "I believe these are the ones you want." "Yes, sir, fine work, detective, you will get a promotion for this." And he bustled off with his new < THE TUXI TRAIL RANGERS S COLUMN TUXIS BOYS | Don't forget that Saturday is election day, All boys from 12 to 21 are eligible to vote for boy members of parliament.

On Friday evening last, those prosent participated in a very suec- cessful meeting. During the busi- ness period the programs for the following meetings were outlined. A few skits werc then practised and aroused much amusement. * * » King St. Trail Rangers All members of Albion Group are requested to be present Fri- day night as (initiation is to be put on by members. Harmony Trail Rangers The Harmony Trail Rangers held their regular weekiv meeting in Harmony School on Wed. even- ing. Nov. 19. In the ahsence of the Chief Wenger, the sub.chief, George Hunking, presided. Cletns Dter gave a story from the study hook, "Men Who Dared," dealing with the Prophet Elisha.

Boy Scout Activities News ot what the Boy Scouts of Oshawa are doing contributed by the scout lead- ers. Contributions to this column will be SCOUT EDITORIAL is really remarkable how | many good Scouts and willing | helpérs we have connection with the Toy Shop. First of all there Is the local newspaper, which has not stinted | In advertising our project, Then the Bell Telephone Co., who have lent thelr windows for { display purposes, and have opened up still .another collection depot, and also the skilled craftsmen who art acting as superintendents, even athough the call on thelr services has been very little up to now, owing to the shortage of toys. Then, last but not least, our friends the Firemen, who have | gone out of their way to help us, by fixing up our quarters and by helping to keep thing ship shape. Not content with this big help, the Firemen have been spending all of their spare minutes fixing toys, with the consequence that the shop is greatly in need of more volume if everybody is to be kept busy. That is where the general pub- lic comes in. The response during the past week has been better than in pre- vious weeks and with the great help which the Regent Theatre is going to give us tomorrow, we have high hopes for next week. Next week will tell the tale re- garding the measure of success for this year's top shop, for after this time, repairing must of necessity give place to finishing, and toys received then will not be used if they require a great deal of work done to them, We are indeed thankful for the help being given us, and for the toys which have already been re- ceived, and we have hopes that all of our workers both Scouts and non-Scouts will be kept busy from now on. SCOUT NOTES Scout Laws Number Eight A Scout smiles and whistles un- der all difficulties." This law means that a Scout should always be pleasant, When he receives an order he should perform {it cheerfully and not with bad grace. He should never complain be- cause things are not all going his vay, and should not complain about every petty adversity. If in difficulty a Scout does not lose his temper and storm and rage about in an insane manner. He holds his temper and sits down to cheerfully figure a way out, Many a man has lost out in the It in charges, calling over his shoulder, "Good night, detective, you will re- port to headquarters the detais of the capture." "Yes, sir." And the man with the silk top- hat and well-cut coat was gone. The next day two men were led to an interview in the office of the chief inspector. He sat at his desk with a satisfied smile on his face and with the air of one who feels he has done a good bit of work, The men faced him, with eyes that gleamed hatred. A "And now, my merry men, the game is up," the inspector mocked, "You will tell us where your friend, Mr. Couvrant, is residing? Of course you will, and if not we'll get the detective who caught you to hunt him up. A smart lad, wasn't he? ' He'll be reporting soon g" A harsh, malicious laugh/broke from the lips of one of the men. His face was contorted with rage and'a snarl followed the laugh. "You darn fool," he hissed. "What!" "It. was Roger caught us!" Couvrant who "The Inspector's face turned white. . 4 welcomed. and should be Times office not WW morning each week. to the Tuesday sent later than game of life by losing his mental balsnce in times of stress, and many a man, by keeping firm hold on his feelings, has approached a 'seemingly insurmountable task. and not only gone over the top, but been ready with a smile for the next. Of course there are times when whistling when in difficulty would be rather out of place. For instance, if fifteen Scouts In the same class in school, were all puzzled and tried by the same question in an examination and all of them started to whistle, it fs quite likely that they would find themselves in further and mor2 personal difficulties, However, the law holds good in this way, that under no circum- stances does a Scout allow his feelings to take full control of his reason, STH AND 7TH TROOPS The Fifth and Seventh Troops met on Friday last at their head- quarters in St. George's Parish Hall. During the course of the even- ing Mr. Robinson again came to fustruct the basket workers in their craft, At least one very presentable basket was made and several boys are making good headway in this work. After the instruction period, the rest of the evening was given over to the preparation of the program for the Fathers' & Sons Banquet, and towards the end of the meet- ing, the Troops were favoured with a visit from President C. M. Mundy of the Local Assoclation, Mr. Mundy spoke to the hoys and gave them a very short but en- couraging talk. The meeting closed In'the usual manner with the lowering of the Flag and the recitation of the Lord's Prayer. Toy shop duties are still very light, and the Troops are not get- ting very much to do. Boys should start a personal canvas for toys if the shop Is to perform its increased duty thiz year. We are delighted to hear that the Regent Theatre is going to give a performance at 10.00 a.m, to- morrow morn ing in ald of the Toy Shop. very child bringing a toy, either broken or otherwise, will be admitted to the show free of charge . This is a chance for the children to kill two birds with one stone by helping the Toy Shop and see- ing the show. We wish to thank Mr. Osler for his generosity. On Monday of this week a meet- ing of the Chairman of the various Committees of the Local Associa. tion was held in the Central Can- ada Loan and Savings Co.'s office. The duties of the various com- mittees were discussed and an outline of the suggested program made, The Scouts of Oshawa are look- ing forward with great anticipa- tion to the work of the Local As- sociation this year. TROOP' NOTICE The 5th and 7th Troop will meet as usual tonight in St. George's Parish Hall, Wolf Cubs 6.30 p.m. Court of Honour 7.00 p.m, Troop Meeting 7.30 p.m, Boys are requested to attend in running shoes or rubbers, Fathers and Sons banquet next Friday, Wolf Cub News "Work, Work, Work," is the slogan for the boys of the 8th' Oshawa Wolf Cub-pack, and this slagon will hold out till they get every toy possible in the north end of the City for the toy shop. C.G.LT. NEWS Canadian Girls in Training! Who are they? Where are they? Why are they? What is the program? Oshawa has over 30C of these girls and Canada boasts nearly 40,000, while the program which they use has been adapted for girls in Sey Newfoundland, Trinidad, China, Jap- an, Africa and the United States. Theirs is a cooperative movement for the religious education of teen-age girls, It has been accepted by prac- tically all the protestant churches of this country as the official program for their girls and is used extensively aso in YW.CA's as well. Altho the movement is only twelve years old, it has spread like wild-fire, be- cause of its great appeal to girls, and because it meets their growing needs, The purpose of these girls is chal- lenging "As a Canadian Girl in Train- ing under the leadership of Jesus, it is my purpose to:-- Cherish Health, Seek Truth, Know God, Serve Others. A- 4 thus with his help become the girl God would have me be." The ideal is a high one but,- as has been so well said "A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for? The first f these special meeting, was held at Simcoe St. United Church Tnesday zvening last. Mrs. Brown's group of King Street Church took charge of a very inter- esting worship service, chuosing as their theme "Our Place In Lire." Miss True Davidson, the speaker of the evening proved herself to he not only very qualified to speak on the subject "Business vocations Girls" but to be as well, keenly in- terested in grls. She opened her talk by telling a\modérn version of the favorite fair¥ tale of Cinderalla, thereby pointing out the three quali- ties essential to a girl who would go into business. Cinderella differed from her sisters in that she made herself useful, that she was good- natured and more careful of the minute details of her appearance than were they. These three qualities are necessary if one is to be a success in business '"fe--to be neat, to be good- natured and to be practical Miss Davidson dealt only with wholesale and direct selling, since Miss Ashdown of the T. Eaton Co. is presenting "Retail Selling" in Jan- vary. Among positions open for girls who love best to work with people, she enlarged on selling in a wholesale way such ines as books and women's wear--also acting as demonstrators for such articles as dye, vacuum cleaners, jello, etc. She mentioned the fact that so many sales girls Ho not realize that it is possible for them to rise to positions of manag- ing it they are interested and persev- ere. Some largé chain stores selling Ladies wear and groceries prefer to have women directing. - T'his is es- pecially true of such shops as The Laura Secord shops. Editor's Remarks Still another organization has asked for space on the Page for Youthful Oshawa. This week wé are introducing the Tuxis and Trail Ranger's Column, These groups of boys correspond to the Canadian Girls in Training with which we are all acquainted, through their week- ly column on this page. Groups of Tuxis Boys and Trail Rangers are combined under the name of Cana- dian Standard Efficiency Training. In most of the churches in the city they have been incorporated--Sim- coe Street, King Street, St. An- drew's, Centre Street and Albert Street. There is a very active group in Harmony from which we hope to hear regularly. We wel- come this new column and if there are any other boys' and girls' clubs in the city which care to contr bute weekly to this page, we would like to hear from them. The Boys ars aso hard at work with there Ministrel show, which will be held in December at Christ Church. If you have a smart looking boy stop you and ask you to buy a ticket for the Cubs Minstrel show, you will know if you buy one, you will be sure to get your moneys worth both by helping the Boys' work we are trying to carry on, And by seeing this Grand Minstrel Show put on by 42 boys all under 12 years. Cub Brnce Anderson, the funniest boy in Oshawa will set the show off to a Grand Howl as will Owen Newall, and Dave Copeland. There will also be a Handicraft booth with articles for sale for! Christmas. These articles have been given by the mothers of the Cubs. Cub Master Mason reports that a new pack called the Grey Wolves was formed at 'he last meeting, which makes the fourth pack. The Cubs are to meet next Tuesday ev- ening at Albany Church, 3rd Oshawa Troop This week's meeting will be held at Albany Street atid will be the last there as the troop is being moved to Simcoe Street United Church. 4th Oshawa The Troop will meet Friday, November 28th, at Rotary Hall. 6.45 P.M, Wolf Cubs 7.00 " " Duty Patrol 7.30 " ' Scouts 9.00 " " Court of Honour Last Friday's meeting saw the investure of Scouts Evans Munck- ton, George Jarvis, George White- law and Jack Fletcher by Scout- master Ingham assisted by Acting Assistant Scoutmaster Saunders and Chairman Robinson. On Wednesday afternoon a few of the boys hiked out along the Lake Shore for supper and a bit of observation, Next Saturday the Troop is outward bound on a simi- lar enterprise in a slightly different direction. All boys are making rapid. pro- for gress in First Ald and Signalling.
