M Troop 36 of Highwood held its meeting Friday, Dee. 19. A period of 30 minutes was given over to Mr. Muzik, our first aid instructor. Say, we thought We knew first aid, but we certainly made a mistake, for we learned a things in that 30 minutes that we never knew before. A sug- gestion was made by Frank Shelton for a sleigh ride party. Matters were soon arranged, the sleigh ride party will he on the day when the snow falls thickest. Let's hope it is soon. Mr. O'Flaherty then gave out Christ. mas presents to every member of the troop. The prescnts were diaries and I suppose every scout and scout- er will be interested in knowing what Lindbergh, the here of boys throughout the world, has to say about scouting. He says: "I am with the Boy Scouts. Their motto "Be Prepared" is the greatest factor for success in life. That is why I look to the boy Scouts for the men of action, the doers, the fliers, the leaders of to- marrow." "Be Prepared" Charles A.

Games were played and the meeting adjourned with the scout benedietiom--Troop 36, Reporter, Ambrose Cantatrallo, St; James parish, liighwood.‘ FIRST AID INSTRUCTION IS GIVEN TROOI' 36 The last regular meeting of Troop 36 was held on Dec. 26 at St. James Parish hall. After the business part of the meeting, 15 minutes of drill was held. Scoutmaster and 1eett scoutmaster also asked us some quesa tions, to find out how dumb we were; for instance-the scoutmaster asked us-what is the largest animal in the world? Answer: One says elephant, another says hippopotamus, and still another a whale, but to show you how dumb one scout was he answered a Sea elephant. A period of 15 min- utes was given over to Mr. Muzik, our first aid instructor, who told us of a wreck in which a man was doubled up beneath the rear truck of a North Shore train and how he held theartcry of the bleeding man until the car was lifted oft the man. After that wreck Mr. Muzik said he couldn't sleep or oat with comfort for a week. Games Were then held after which the meeting adjourned. Troop M of llinhwooxl was congratulated by Ma- yor Ruth on the splendid manner in which the scouts helped in the Civic Service of "iehwood.--Troop M, re- porter, Canmgsllo, St. James parish, Highwood.
