Boy Scouts 'At the annual meeting of Oct. 22nd, 1966, your Scout leaders reported in- creases in enrolment of Cubs and Scouts. A similar and more recent 'report from the: Girl Guides Ass'n. has brought us to realize that some two hundred girls and boys are being served by our local Guide and Scout groups. ' Indirectly we are all being served whether we have children in these organizations or not since Guiding and. Scouting has become such an import- ant factor in character building. Our local groups enjoy a high av- erage of efficient instruction which many parents take for granted and do not concern themselves greatly with the details of the Group. , This high standard has become dif- ficult to maintain as we have out- . . grown the Scout hall and some girls - Mand boys must meet elsewhere. We therefore will have to appeal to.the parents and interested townspeople for funds with which to build an ex- tension. Various ways and means will be ém- ployed by each section of the Group in an effort to earn a substantial a- mount toward the building fund and he, adult members plan to canvas the "*fown in the later part of February. The amount required is estimated at $7000.00 so please make provision in your budget for this effort. Sat., Oct. 10th is Boy Scout Apple Day. The proceeds are used to bene- fit our local Group. The annual nieeting is planned for Wad, Oct. 23rd at 8.80 pm. in the out hall. If you are interested in Scouting you are welcome. If your children are in the Group it is your duty to attend this meeting. Come and hear a report on the past year's activity and elect officers for next year. £ Your Group Committees.

These re- cords are the best we have proof of and they ae authentic for at least the last nine years. The records list- ed here are merely those that have been broken during the past fall in or- ganized meets but a complete up-to- date list will soon be available to all those interested in this phase of ath- letics. ) Bob Carnegie led the way in record smashing with three new records to his credit--pole-vaulting 10 feet and one-half inch, coming up with a 39 ft. 11 in. hop-step and jump and twice breaking the discus mark with a throw of 1056 ft. 2 inches. Phil Clark showed fine promise in the hop-step and jump event as he set an intermediate record of 87 ft. 3 inches in his first year in the intermediate classifcation. In the inter school meet Jim Burnett, not only set a Coronation record but easi- ly beat the inter-school record in the 880 yd. run (half-mile) as he raced over the distance in 2 min and 21 secs and thus becomes the second Port Perry boy to hold an interschool re- cord, the other being Harold Collins who still holds the intermediate inter- school record for the 880 with a time of 2 mins. 13 secs. The only Public School boy to set a new mark this year was new-comer Bruce Ballinger who displayed some fine high jump- ing ability and set a new mark of 4 ft. three and three-quarter inches. Betty Wallis and Sharon Haugen divided honours in the girls three new records, Betty set two new marks, twice breaking the senior girls run- ning broad jump with her best effort being a jump of 16 ft. 1 inch and also setting a new senior high jump mark of 4 ft. 6 inches. Sharon trimmed the senior girls 100 yd. dash record which she now holds with a time of 12.5 secs. : . The Coronation Track and Field Club would like to pass along a sin- cere vote of thanks to all who in any way assisted the sale of tickets-- which will ensure a future meet--in- dividual trohies and we expect a few large special trophies for outstanding performances and special individual events. i ' Rod & Gun Club The Annual Dinner of the Club will be held in the Scout Hall on the even- ing of Wednesday, November 6th at 6.30 pm. *. em This is the only Social event that-is put on by the Club, and those who attend from year to year look forward to this event. ) A night that is remembered by many of the early days of the Club was the first one Twelve years ago in late November or early December, when we went to Frayer's pavillion at Caesarea, it snowing and blowing when about 20 members and their guests sat down to a wild duck dinner. Since that time our dinners have en- Jarged to the capacity of the Scout Hall. In the last issue of the paper I wrote that the dinner would be pre- {pared by the Boy Scout and Girl Guide Mother's. I wish to make a ! correction of that as I should have said Girl Guide and Brownie Mother's. Sorry for the error. ) The Committee are hard at work lining up the programme, so that there will be nothing omitted. There is a Club meeting each Thursday ev- | ening, and each to report on what has | been done. , To all Club members Dinner tickets are to be available at the meeting so that your friends are not neglected. Be on hand to obtain your dinner tick- ets, --Ott. Hamilton. The Flu Epidemic The Port Perry High School, which was closed last week when more than 100 pupils were absent with flu re- opened classes on Wednesday of this week, The effects of the 'Flu were felt early in the previous week, with some sixty pupils absent, 100 more went on the sick list a week ago, some pupils collapsing in the classroom and par- ents were called to come after them. It is hoped that the worst of the flu epidemic is over, «dt New Records In Track and Field Young Cyclist Holds Up Traffic A youthful cyclist: (perhaps ten years old) was finding it tough work to peddle up the long hill to school this morning. His legs were getting pretty tired byt he wouldn't give up, some of the kids walking on the side- walk would be sure to spot him and call him a sissy, so he doggedly stuck to the task, true he wobbled around a bit, took up a bit more room that he should have, no doubt, but the dri- vers of all those cars coming up the hill behind him were quite patient, not one of them honked his horn or tried to pass him when a car was coming the other way. After all they did get by when the traffic coming down the hill cleared away. So no harm done, .No harm' done this time! But are you as a parent willing to gamble that every motorist who follows your son up the hill is going to be 8o con- siderate? Are you willing to gamble that your son will always make the grade without losing his balance? When are we going to teach our children that thé smart thing to do is the safe thing! Port Perry the - Most Beautiful Rarely have we had a more attrac- tive fall than we have experienced this year. In fact from early spring we have had little to complain about weather wise, but Thanksgiving wea- ther has been truly perfect. A drive across the surrounding country was greatly enjoyed and the scenery a delight to the eye but we could not help but notice that the most beautiful trees and most attractive scenes were found right on our own streets. Apparently we were not a- lone in this view as we saw many people who stopped their cars to take pictures of the tree lined streets. Watch for the Minor Hockey Booster Pins to he on sale soon 2 Hilltop Herald Well, we're back to the almost re- gular routine, after our long Thanks- giving vacation. We hope, not too many suffered the flu while we were favoured with such beautiful weather. The extra day holiday was in honour of Queen Elizabeth who officially opened the 23rd sessions of Parlia- ment in Ottawa on Tuesday. Due to the Asian flu epidemic which closed the school on Wednesday, Oct. 9th, our magazine selling campaign was advanced a week and begins on Oct. 17th. Remember folks, this is your chance to purchase or renew fa- vourite magazine subscriptions and at the same time give 'a big "boost" to our school funds. Darlene Christie.

Our P.M.S. Hi C Group had a very interesting evening on Wednesday; and our Cubs spent Saturday at the Hunter's Lodge in Haliburton County. Just a little over eight months ago we held a supper on the Island and in- 'vited all teenagers, twelve and over to attend. We had about 65 and or- ganized what has come to be known as the P.M.S. Hi C Club. We have had some lovely meetings; but what I am really getting at is, that we are really learning to work and play together. Our first party was not what any of us would call "successful". We were too shy and afraid to be really at ease. Now that has all passed away, and though we have settled for around half the number that came to our first gathering, we are really becoming a Club. Our councillors have played a wonderful part. Without there would not have been any Club. Our last meeting was a new venture, and was very successful. We had Bob Walker come and instruct us in the art of Folk Dancing, with Annie Toombs at the piano and John Burnham with violin. Also 'there were Cecil Fralick and Irene Carter to help. Our president, Gary Edgar took charge of a short worship period, with Bonnie Jeffrey at the piano. Bonnie also led us in a sing-song.
