wD A an 6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, May 15th, 1974 Cartwright Venturers win plaque at outing On Friday, May 10th the Ist Cartwright Venturers started on their way to a R.V.R. Ramble, (R.V.R., Rangers, Venturers, Rovers) at Scanlon Creek Conservation Area, Brad- ford. We all left about 5:30 p.m. with five Venturers, - Murray Archibald, Rayner Welts, Hal McMan, Paul Kristenson and Peter Kris- tenson. In the second car = 220 COCHRANE ST. PORT PERRY were Denis Malcolm, Tom Wotten, Kordell Kuening Tim Wheeler and Philip Archer. Mr. Archibald stayed with us because our adviser Mr. Welts had (o-work and would join us the following morn- ing. We had an awful time trying to find a dry place to pitch the tents, but finely found a spot that seemed to be not too bad. There was a main camp- 985-7086 fire where you could get doughnuts and hot choco- late and then return to your own campfire. The follow- ing morning, May 11, we all awoke between 7:30 or 8:00 to be ready for the Camp Opening and the Intro- duction to the Staff at 9:30, as there was a traditional tug-of-war scheduled, but they had no rope. At 11:00 the competitions started, there was a point system for the whole of Saturday and Sunday, if you came in first, second or third. They started off with volleyball, our Venturers played and one the champ- ionship over four teams, and then at 11:30 we played foot- ball and won over two other teams. We had dinner and went back tot he competi- tions which started at 1:30, with soccer, we played two games and won one. At 2:30 we signed up for the Obstacle Course, which consisted of four Venturers from our group Rayner Welts, Denis Malcolm, Paul Kristenson and Tom Wotten. The fastest time before our team tried was three minutes and fifty nine seconds. Our Venturers did it in three minutes and eighteen seconds. At 8:30, a disc- jockey set up on the beach for a dance, but unfortunate- ly it started to rain, so we spent the rest of the night in our tents. We awoke the following morning, May 12 to find everything soaked. It was decided due to wetness to close camp at 11:00 a.m. Cartwright Venturers received a beautiful carved wooden plaque, for having the second highest in points out of two hundred Rangers, Venturers, and Rovers. And we also received crests. We all had fun and enjoyed our- selves, and hope to attend next years Rumble. Murray Archibald Business development means more jobs and increased opportunities.

They have relief supplies, but they must sow their staple crop of millet by the end of this month to get any harvest this year -- and there is no seed for them to sow. OXFAM and the Food and Agriculture Organiza- tion (FAO) of the United Nations have agreed to buy 400 tons of millet seed in Nigeria and get it distributed in Chad by the end of May. OXFAM-Canada has pled- ged $24,000 to support the Tuareg rescue operation for four months, and additional money if needed to carry it beyond that time. We have sent $20,000 to purchase millet seed for Chad. But our efforts need the continued support of Canadians. Donations may be sent to OXFAM, Box 18,000, Toronto. Catherine W.
