ARDEN SHORE TROOP IN UNIQUE HIKE * Last Sunday, Troop 44, donned their seven league hiking boots and betook themselves for a hike to the orient. Our hikemaster, Miss Anna Belle Ferrier, camp mother of Arden Shore, led us over trails that few scouts have been privileged to follow. We first went to Hawaii where we found Honolulu, a city of about 700,â€" 000, American in every sense of the word. Having seen America, first, we went to Wakiki and watched huâ€" man porpoises dash out over the waves on surf boards. These surf boards are about 20 inches wide and eight feet long. The surf rider waits until a big wave rolls in and then he dashes out over the breaker. . By clever manipulation he stands upon the board, even sways back and forth. Sometimes he even takes a young boy on his back. The water about Waâ€" kiki is clean and blue and in some places, iris, the many colours of the ‘ rainbow . > We then turned our path to Japan. We passed Tokyio and came to the Temple of Nicko not far from Yokoâ€" hama. The temple is situated on a long sloping hill, and the road which winds up to it is bordered by ageless trees two hundred feet in height. At last we entered the temple. There, in the shadow of mysterious walls, was seated the great Buddha of Kamâ€" akura, placid, composed, with thumbs touching and face wrapped in happy meditation. A great jewel gleamed from the Buddha‘s forehead, shafting the shadows. Gisha girls slipped past quietly and disappeared. People enâ€" tered, shoeless, shuffied over the floor of polished amber, rang the bell to wake up the great Buddha of Kamâ€" akura, dropped their coins at the feet of the Great one, and disappeared also. We hiked through Korea and Chinl,‘ being most interested in the business men who carried as part of their equipment for the day, umbrellas, tea pots and lamps, and rode on a bicycle to their offices. All were polâ€" ite, very polite, and bowed .gracefully and often where ever the slightest pretense of courtesy might be obâ€" served. We passed through narrow streets of Peking, Shanghai, Tientâ€" sin, where the clop, clop, clop of many woodenâ€"shoed feet madg a buzzing din. We had tea and lunch in an interestâ€" ing little corner where we sat on our knees and drank and ate strange things that were prepared on charâ€" coal burners right before our eyes. Soon we left the land of tea and clopâ€"clops and. wandered through Sinâ€" gapore and India, glimpsed, gazed reverently at the most beautifui building the world ownsâ€" the Taj Mahal.
