Winter night school courses start soon (From page 14) fered for two hours one night a week, will be offered for one hour twice a week in the winter session, We then headed for the other gymnasium where the fitness for women course was being held. The two-hour class includes stretching and other exercises in the first hour, and recreation- al funin the second hour. At our next stop, participants were doing simple repairs on small engines. Instructor Doug Thomas said anyone wishing to take the course doesn't even need to know what a four-stroke engine is. "I like to start at the ground level," he said. After the course is complete, Mr. Thomas said the -partici- pants leave with a lifetime of knowledge and will save a lot of money on costly repairs. Next on our list is woodwork- ing. Participants have the full use of all the school's equip- ment. Some participants were making. pieces of furniture, while others were planing wood. "It is a general woodworking * course. to fit all general wood- working needs," said instructor Barty Page. "We all share ideas and wood- working knowledge." . Next we stopped at the paper tole classroom. The partici- pants have brought I ou of their finished pieces. "It gets addictive," one wom- Denture Therapy Clinic an told me, adding that she just can't stop once she gets started. "And it makes a really nice gift," she continued. After the paper tole class, we - sneaked into the law enforce- ment course. Sgt. Sandy Ryrie was the guest speaker. He talked to the participants about the Crime Stoppers program. Other topics discussed were the Neighborhood Watch pro- gram, and how a breathalyzer works, ~ Because of space restrictions, not all courses can be held at Port Perry High School.

September 23 was the star- ting date for the boys and right away on September 30 the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts held a bottle drive. The executive and boys would like to thank the residents of Blackstock, Caesarea, Nestleton and surroun- ding areas for all the bottles donated making it a very suc- cessful fundraiser. On Monday, October 2 the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts par- ticipated in a Community Clean- up. All the boys worked really hard and did a super job. Apple Day took place on Oc- tober 14 and we again would like to thank all of the people who so purchased apples from the boys. October 14 and 15 saw the Scouts participate in an overnight camp out. If anyone remembers we had a torrential down pour on i LR 1] PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 28, 1989 -- 15 Cartwright Scouting news the night of the 14th and I know myself and other parents were waiting for the phone to ring to pick up the kids. However, the boys stuck in out and came home on the 15th pretty saturated but happy. Blackstock Town Hall became home to some pretty wierd creatures as the boys held their Halloween Party on October 30. It was well attended and the highlight was breaking the pinatas that the Beavers had made and getting the candy that came out of them. All in all the kids had loads of fun. Remembrance Day: was on Saturday, November 11 and a number of the boys participated at the ceremony that took place at the Cenotaph in Blackstock. Although I didn't make note of the exact date, the Scouts went to the Royal Winter Fair. They left at 4:30 p.m. and didn't arrive home till around 11 p.m. Although tired they enjoyed seeing the varied animals and displays. On Saturday, November 25, the Santa Claus Parade took place in Port Perry. We all would like to thank Mr. Roy McLaughlin for providing the float which became Sinbad the Sailor's boat and Mr. Dave Kyte for navigation on the steering wheel. The Scouts made the float with the Cubs and Beavers making decorations for the pirate outfits. In closing I would like to add a personal note. My sons and I belonged to a previous Scouting group for over five years before joining 1st Cartwright and I would like to say how well organized the group is and how I was amazed at the number of things the boys do. My older son especially enjoys Scouting with all the outings in the form of campouts and trips. Its a shame in this hurried world more boys in the 11 to 13 year old age group miss out on all the fun in Scouting. STANDARD TRUST IS GIVI displayed in your branch!
