Our meeting started with the tak- ing of roll call and dues and then we had our Grand How! and prayer. And I might add our Grand Howl was very ood. Then the cubs high-tailed it to the fleld--five minutes later the leaders arrived and the big game k it in here fellows-- of this the exhausted leaders dismissed the Pack at the field. And I might add Baloo's team won. : Last Saturday the 14th held their first hike of the summer--out to Camp Samac, and it was a huge success with only 7 cubs absent. We don't mind the clay, fellows, but next time do we have to have the crabs, snakes, spiders, eels, ete., etc., etc. 4TH OSHAWA CUB PACK Summer is really here at last. It was like pulling teeth to get the cubs in- side the Church for the marking of dues and attendance and Grand Howl! However, finally the tubs were all in, and with the doors firmly locked, the meeting got underway. Sixer Don McMurtry led the Cubs in Grand Howl--and it was very well done indeed. Could be because we had a visitor. Yes, the A.D.C. for Cubs visit- ed our den Monday night. Akela then announced that a base- ball game was scheduled for the night, and after the cheers and shouts died down, selected Second John Turner and Sixer Don McMurtry as Captains. 'The captains quickly chose their play- ers and then went into a huddle. Re- sult was: Don McMurtry's team is known as the "Hammerheads"; while John Turner's team is the "Dodgers". Then the whole pack, plus the lead- ers proceeded to Centre Street School baseball diamonds. Karela was umpire, and after some arguing, the two cap- THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW OH MISTER' IM IN A BIG HURRY' DO NOU MIND LETTING ME AHEAD OF YOU? |= THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW!

It is this sad picture. that wé have to offer you before the meet- ing programme commences. Wi are short in describing the meeting--it was in charge of Chuck Smith with Donnie Clarke as acting Troop er, it consisted of a Knot Champ contest, a pole jump game, a rather hurriedly come-to-the-conclu- slon-given-title of Knife Sneak to an- other game, instructions in First Ald, and that's all. For those of you who are still wonderk where the leaders went, the S.M.s, tie ASM. nnd T.L. were at a banquet in the Camp Samac Council house, Game number one was described last week; the gameé which required each bey 30 run to the. front of the hall with a staff, then on JSturning 40 the atrol he hands one end to the next n lige, and both run the staff along the floor for the remainder to jump.

We remain, 4TH OSHAWA SCOUT NEWS Most Patrols had good attendance this week with the exception of the P y ha Due. to the lack or space for holding interpatrol games and competitions close to the camping area, it was de- cided that the camp site would be ideal for a small group such as a patrol, for a week, but not suitable for a good size group for an extended camp. Of course time will fix all these things. The Knot Champ race was run off again this month and Gary Copeland was the winner. Time, 1612 seconds by the stop-watch. Stout fella, Gary. The patrol points as they stand at present are as follows: Owls 66, Wild Goose 78, Wolves 74 and Lynx 62. Duty patrol for the meeting was the Wolves and this Wednesday the Wild Goose is appointed to take over the. job. Leather work classes are peing discon- tinued for the summer and anyone wishing to finish a project started must make their arrangement with the ASM. The last morse signalling. class will be held Monday evening from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. so don't forget. Field Day Teams were lined up at the meet- ing and at least 75 per cent of the troop will be taking part in one or other of the 'events, so we are hoping for a good turnout, By the time you read this, you will probably know that due to a number of parlour scouts ob- jectng, the Fire by Friction will not e included as a competition event, and no points will be awarded in the field day totals for it, The A.8.M. who was disgusted by this attitude, in- formed the S.M. so, in no uncertain manmer, has told Nosey that he will personally give every boy obtaining fire Tegardioss of the troop he is from, a prize. As the 4th Troop did not start practising for this event until. Tuesday, June 1st, it is most unlikely that any of our group will get a fire, although Warren Abbot did get one last Tuesday which was his first experience with Fire by Friction. How this type of real Scousing is to be promoted in Oshawa unless It is included in a competition, is a mystery. This is all the guff for now and Nosey hopes field day is well contested and may the best group win, As this is the last news report until fall, may you have good camping, good scouting, and lots of it while the outdoor weather is here. .

PIPE-PLEASURE WITH OLD VIRGINIA OLD VIRGINIA \ du youn poe FOR ROLLING YOUR OWN - USE OLD VIRGINIA FINE CUT Oe | By DOUGLAS HOW Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa--(CP)--Come into a dim and distant corner and meet Pat- rick Darcy, an Irishman with a lead pencil, a scratch pad and a wealth of stamina. Mr. Darcy is the right-hand of William Gilbert Weir, the member of parliament for the Manitoba riding of MacDonald and the Lib- eral whip. It is their responsibility to see that Liberals are where Lib- erals should be when votes are called. Since this may happen in num- bers of places at numbers of times between 10:30 am. and 11 p.m, people have tripped over the racing Mr. Darcy in many parts of the parliament buildings at many times. Being short and fleet, he is hard to detect under a full velocity. One sees him in the various com- mittee rooms, a quiet figure in a quiet corner. He calculates the strength of friend and the strength of foe. He weighs the issue at stake the likelihood of vote: His pencil scratches along his pad. Then he scratches behind his ear. His eye grows cool and shrewd. If crisis is near and Liberal dom- inance is in jeopardy, Mr. Darcy hurls himself through the door, and away. Shortly after, absentee Lib- gasping for breath and informa- 'tion on how to vote. eral members rush into their seats, Meanwhile, Mr. Darcy plunges into another committee room to make a like analysis.

Edmonton, cities "Saskatoon, Regina, He sees no reason why The same problem existed in Australia, where he conducted three years ago, and it was solved by this system. Winnipeg should have a sym- phony orchestra, Sir Ernest feels. "It's the centre of a city's mus- ical life, and from it spring cham- ber music, small orchestras, other groups. | "One great asset you have here ; is that the CBC and the Mus- icians' Union are co-operating and are keen on the idea. It is not a | a thing that the CBC or the Union | can do by themselves, however. "Another enormous asset youl and have is a wonderful civic avdito- rium." Sir Ernest is mot one to ap- prove the idea that people should be told they must go to hear a symphony orchestra because it will be good for them. It might be possible to draw people with this appeal for a short time, he added. Winnipeg has "very geod ma- terial" for symphony; the nucleus is here. An active women's com- mittee helps the growth of such an orchestra. Good financing also is needed. "I have always been impressed Phone 4600 92 SIMCOE N.

"In the early days they acted as ticket sellers. That is only one of many things they have done. Last year they put on a fashion show. and made a great deal of money. They are re- peating the show this year. "The women are largely re- sponsible for the young e's concerts. A junior musical council is also an activity which 'he wo- men have instituted, and they are also prominent in the social side of orchestra life." asy for Phone 42 the time he routed three cabinet ministers from their desks and flung them into the breach to save a vote in the veterans' committee. On that occasion, his speed and mastery were such that the name of Darcy was briefly heard -as a potential successor to Mr. King. For those occasions when the house itself is in committee of the whole and votes may come without warning or division bells, Mr. Weir and Mr. Darcy have. developed an acute sense of apprehension. Some- times they get the members down just in case. In others, Dr. Weir and the cabinet minister in charge must keep someone talking about something until sufficient forces are at hand: High above the chamber, Mr. Darcy may be sitting in his office. If Mr. Weir buzzes once, that is for Mr. Darcy alone; twice, for the members; three times, for the members but quick, quick, quick. Sometimes, in the length of the night when he is home in bed, Mr. Darcy dreams three buzzes. His nerves cry out. His hand gropes for the assurance of his lead pencil. He doesn't, he says, know just how he stands it. Try a Times-Gazette classified ad today--You"ll find it will pay.

Quite apart from any political considerations, you have before you two entirely different points of view. The Progressive Conservative Party believes that this province has unequalled opportunities for development provided that our great resources are put to work under plans for the future which will provide the electric power and other requirements for the greatest period of expansion we have ever known. Our opponents do not believe that these opportunities for expansion exist. It is their right and their duty to express their own opinion about our future. They have done so. They do not believe in our great programme of development. They have acted accordingly and will continue to do so. You know the record of the government and the many things it has done to ad- vance the interests of all our people. You know the tremendous programme of develop- ment which we have approved and which will go into effect if we receive your support on June the 7th. We believe that is the way to assure employment in the years ahead. On the other side you have a static point of view which thinks that all this development should be deferred until the threat of unemployment which they are constantly pre- dicting is actually upon us. Developments of this kind take years to complete and the best way to maintain employment in the future is to provide the power and other resources which are needed to keep employment at a high level. That is the point of view we ask you to support. I do wish to emphasize one unusual feature of this election. The Communists in this province, relatively small in numbers, are highly organized. They are supporting the C.C.F. I recognize that the leaders of the C.C.F. Party have disavowed this support. The fact remains, however, that in every riding except two where there are Communist candidates who were members of the last Legislature, the Communist vote, large or small, is going to the support of C.C.F. candidates. This may be un- fortunate for the C.C.F., and may be against the wishes of that Party. It is apparent, ' however, that the policies of the C.C.F. Party find sufficient acceptance with the Com. munists to gain their support. : No'matter how worthy any individual C.C.F. candidate may be you have only one way of making sure that your vote is not going to be joined with a Communist vote. It should be remembered that in every country where Communism has come to power, including Russia, it came originally through an alignment with the Socialist party in that country. You may think the danger is still far away here in Canada. Only a few years ago they thought it was very far away in those countries which have been.brought under Communist slavery within the past three years. The time to end the threat of Communism is while we are still strong and free, not when freedom hangs in the balance and we face one last desperate decision. : This is not just an ordinary election. With democracy threatened all over the world as it is today, this is an opportunity for the people of Ontario to show by their vote that they really believe in the right to vote. Naturally I hope that you will support the candidate of our party in your riding. No matter how you vote, however, may I urge every one of you to exercise your franchise so that we demonstrate to ourselves and to those living in less fortunate lands, that we really know the value of our freedom. Never has this province advanced so greatly as it has under the progressive policies of * the present government. Our programme for the future provides for still greater de- velopment in the years ahead. With the great opportunities which are before us, I hope you will give us an overwhelming mandate to keep Ontario strong through the years ahead. on MONDAY JUNE 7th Published by The Ontario Progressive Conservative Association PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE
