TROOP 48 COLLECTS MANY COAT HANGERS Last night, Dec. ‘9, all the scouts of Trocp 48 except Fred Schroeder attended the meeting. The meeting could not be held at the American Legion hall because it was being used as a post office, so we had the meeting in the ‘Halsey school basement. At 7:30 the meeting began. All had colâ€" lected coat hangers. The Wolf Patrol had 1,025 hangers and the Black Bear had 510 hangers. Mr. Roeber said he would give us all till Monday, Dec. 22 to try and get some more. A little time was taken to tie fifty hangers to a bundle. After the hangers had been attended to we all went outside to play "Capture the Flag." The ground was slippery so it was hard to run and fight on. The game soon ended though for the Wolf Patrol got the Black Bear Patrol flag, and noâ€" body knew how it happened. After the game we went inside again, Soon after that we wore dismissed by Mr. Roeber. Some scouts who had tests to pass stayed after the meeting to pass them.â€"Jack Neale, Troop 48, Lake Forest. f % The regular weekly meeting of the Stag Patrol was held at the home of commccrrormmmcrormrerecrmmmrmrnrrarere rÂ¥ereererran iÂ¥X Â¥ eÂ¥ aannnnn n n n n nn n n w n n ic a 0i i + Testâ€"Passing Meeting There will be a program of special entertainment features with three large Orchestras, including the famous Edgewater Beach Hotel Orchestra, f Phil Spitalny‘s Music â€" Dancing will be continuous.
