This method is a means of checking up on the boys to see whether they are attending in a full uniform correctly worn. Following the inspection, some games were held in the Gym, consisting of "Over and Under" and relay races, and a "Tug-O-War." For next week Scoutmaster FEisenbrand is going to bring a book on ants. During the first part of Troop 2's meeting Mr. Cameron, scoutmaster, ex- plained the working of the locks at the Panama Canal. Then an O'Grady drill- down and relay races were held in the Gym. Following Troop 2's system of weekly assignments, a map of Win- netka showing certain streets and build- ings was assigned for this week. Fred- erick Clerk submitted a satisfactory map. Eugene Thoms and Gordon Ro- binson turned in first-aid kits. After playing the game of "Drag" in the gym, Troop 3 held practice on the International Code.
