Each patrol then took over their corners and had a brief review of the Morse code, after which they were tested by the scoutmaster and assistant scoutmasters oh their aibility to recite it. James Hansen of the Eagle patrol brought in a very^ nicely made up knot board he had made, and we'd like to see more of these boards made up. ^S0 dad, remind that Scout of yours to get busy on his knot board. He'll enjoy making it, once he gets it started. A game of Indian dodge ball was played With the No. 1 team winning the game. After the game, the boys g:ot busy and started on the Christmas gifts they are making for their mothers. Dues were collected by the scribe. A new Scout joined us, Tim Ballowe. Welcome, Tim, we know you'll enjoy scouting.
