Eagle Scout Donald Schaefer took over the opening of the meeting and then handed the meeting over to Life Scout Robert Weideman for a game of first aid baseball. Bob pitched a question to a batter and it he answered it correctly he got first base. If he missed and a -player on base answered correctly, the player advanced a base. If the player on base didn't get it right, a player in the field received a chance to answer it correctly. If the fielder gave the correct reply, the batter was out. If nobody got it, it was strike one. We had a lot of fun playing it. Some of the questions were easy and some fairly hard. An easy one was, "What is a splinter?", while a fairly hard one was "Give three symptoms of heat exhaustion." This was really a drill in first aid. The next intereating thing that hap. pened was a drill or lesson in Internation Morse code. Mr. Fyfe gave us a sort of birds-eye view of the code and he sent some simple messages. 1 think the code is easy. It is after one learns it. At patrol meetings there will also be some drill in this. Eagle Scout Tom Laws on conducted the Scouts in a game of volleyball. We played volleyball for abowt twenty minutes and, then came the closing of the meeting. Thomas Douglas and Leo Smith weren't the shining lights but we had a lot of fun out of this game. For the closing of the meeting, Eagle Scout Schaefer had Scoot Dick Banna send us a message in semaphore. The message was "You may go." Be prepared for another message next week. Be Prepared!

To give the enterprise an excellent start on the "wrong way" 10' years ago there was the original j lack of funds. Then the city re-' fused to enlarge and recondition the exhibits, but that was a mere bagatelle compared to the string of bad luck that followed. This time the misfortune took the line of tragedies and deaths among the animal population. •Shortly after the zoo was opened to the public, one morning the keeper discovered that two silver foxes and two coatimunda had been poisoned. Two days later a young tiger choked to death on a bone. Attendants tried everything to save the tiger, one even prying the animal's jaws open and trying to pick the bone out with his hands. T^ie keepter got scratched, the bone remained and the animal died. Polar Bear Died. Ray Dowell was a business caller at Barrington Tuesday.

' • hay supply Lean Days Followed. As a result, there was a lean spell and several of the animals went hungry. One, an elk, lacking food, was executed and the carcass fed to the lions--who also were hungry. Then came a series of escapes. One day four buffalos wandered out of their enclosure. Zoo officials immediately launched a roundup, but the animals the next day wandered > last Tuesday evening. the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank La- Belle. William Darrell and son, George, of Wauconda called at the home of the former's father Sunday. C. H. Hansen was a caller last Saturday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank LaBeHe. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Wagner and two children visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A1 Wagner st Wauconda back. Perhaps the biggest escape, and the one that really "blew the lid off" was the episode of the elk. One morning in the spring of 1939, tiie zoo superintendent reported to city police that five elk had disappeared-- apparently stolen. A search was launched and then came a report the animals had disappeared with the knowledge of city officials. The next day, the city's then mayor, John Wallace, told the city fathers the elk had purposely been turned loose and stolen. The mayor told the commissioners the zoo lacked the proper facilities to keep the animals and they were turned out in the mountains to fare for themselves. ' Talk to a member of the zoo staff today and no one may say anything of the 100 ducks and geese report* edly missing.

AETIGLKS OIVEN TO AID TttXPATBBS nLK XNOOMBTAX RETURNS! To make it easier for taxpayers to meet the, increased taxes required by the National Defense program, the Treasury department is offering for sale two aeries of notes, both dated August 1, 1941, and. maturing August 1, 1943. In January of each year two new series will be provided so that a taxpayer can always purchase notes during the entire year in which he is receiving his income for use in payment of taxes due the following year. The reason for the two-year note is to permit a taxpayer, if he so desires, to begin saving in January of one year and continue- through that year ts save for his taxes due the following year. All notes are sold at par and accrued interest. When presented in payment of income taxes they will be received at par and accrued interest up to and including the month in which such taxes are paid. Interest will not, accrue beyond the maturity of the notes. If not presented in payment of income taxes, they will be re~ deemd for <*reh under certain -specified conditions at the purchase price paid for the notes. In other words, the taxpayer, if he redeems the notes for cash, gets back just the amount be paid. Complete information about- theae Treasury notes, will he found in a treasury department circular available at local bank*, Federal Reserve banks and branches, or Treasury ^apartment* Washington, D.
