The meeting was held at the Central Junior High school, and there were about fifty boys and advisors present. The cities that were represented there were McHenry, Woodstock and Fox River Grove. Mr. Crawford, principal of the school had us introduced to the other boys. Mr.-Gordon Sheehe of the Safety and Traffic Department of the Chicago Motor club was the main speaker. He told us boys many interesting facts such as there are over 300,000 boy and girl members of safety patrols in the United States. Some more facts were: In 1922 when the Chicago Motor club started Safety units in the territory around Chicago, between then and now adult accidents have increased twothirds while child accidents have decreased by one-third and most of the child accidents have happened during the hours when patrol boys were off duty. After Mr. Sheehe was through talking he wanted us to ask questions about our troubles. He answered our many questions very thoroughly.- When the questions were over he showed us a movie which dealt with safety. One interesting feature in the movie was that every three minutes a child is injured and every two hours one is killed because of auto accidents. After the movie he gave us a card Which had several safety rules on it. Patrol Boy Adolph Weideman. . Junior League Minks--R. Smith, 460; Conway, 419; Freund, 325; P. Dowell, 469. Total --1673.

SCOUTS Tuesday night in a spooky candlelit setting Joan Durland's patrol with Mary Douglas as corporal gave a Hal* loween party. It was a masquerade^. We came dressed as many different peoples. Margaret Olsen won the prize for the most clever costume. She came dressed as a scarecrow. Since the band ^as rehearsing in the basement, we went to Miss Bauer's room to play the quiet games. There we played four games using pencil and paper. \ We then proceeded into the gail; decorated gymnasium and played "Pin the Tail on the Donkey/' This was won by Bettie Potter. Refreshments were then served. We went onto the stage and found a table both amusingly and beautifully set. The place cards were dainty leaves with names on them and we found our places. The prizes were then given to Mar-: garet Olsen. Bettie Potter, Betty Kramer, Virginia Stratton, Lois Fredricks and Shirley Patzke.
