The Beaver patrol won. y Mr. Anderson read us this clipping from the daily paper: "Carl Ricker, 35, father of eight children, the oldâ€" est. 15 years, bled to death on the way to the hospital today after arâ€" tery in his right arm had been severed when he slipped and pushed his arm through a window in his home." Mr. Anderson said that if one of those boys had been a scout, the father‘s life might have been saved. Then we had a first aid contest. We paired off in buddies, and the contest was on! Dick Wichman demonstrated the bandage, when one buddy would be the patient while the other tied the bandage, and then they .changed around. _ Mr. Anderson, Dick, the scoutmaster, and Mr. Wichman judged the contests and games. f For the last five minutes, we joined in the game of "Poison," in which two newspapers were placed on the floor and everybody tried to make the others step on the "poison" paper, It was one of the best meetings the troop ever had, and we hope to have more like it.

The big idea for next week is to be knotâ€"tying.â€"Kerâ€" wyn Smith, troop 33, reporter, TLincoln school, Highland Park. . _ _Troop 35 Pass Tests The entire â€"meeting Jast Friday, Jan. 16 was spent in passing scout tests as Mr. Walker, our scoutmaster is anxious that every fellow who is not already a second class scout beâ€" come one at once.
