Sugar coupons will continue to come good in pairs but will be valid on the third Thursday of each month inâ€" stead of every four weeks. This makes a slight cut in the ration, from 26 to 24 pounds per person per year, A saving of two lbs. per person in Canada presents a total saving of 22 million pounds.

Did You Know These Facts Ottawa announces that in the fall, our tenderfoot, second class and first class tests will all be reâ€" arranged. This arrangement will slip some of the first class tests to second class, and some second class tests to the tenderfoot. As a result, the tenderfoot will be made a little harder, the second class the hardest, and the requirements of the first class will be considerably reduced. This will work in perfectâ€" ly with the Scouts older than 14 who attended high school. The pressure of increased homework will have little effect on their adâ€" vancement in Scouting. The Wesâ€" ton Troop plans to make hay while the sun shines, and so is adopting this plan now, rather than waiting until the fall. Those who quality for the tenderfoot under the past system, will be allowed to wear the badge a month, in which time they shall try to comply with the new requirements.

(Mr. Watts and Doug Jennett are responsible for the other equipâ€" ment), P. L, Robert Laidler of the Owls accepted this position. As it has been proven before, it is not possible for a patrol leader to handle. both his patrol and troop property. â€" Consequently it was agreed that Bob would maintain his patrol leader"s rank, but would be without a patrol, The problem then arose of a successor to the leadership of the Owls. It was thought natural for the patrol seâ€" cond to assume this responsitflity, so Ron McGregor is now patrol leader of the Owls. 3 Hydro Flat Rate Water Heaters: Charge per 100 watts per month Prompt payment discount........
