Camp Big Success During the Christmas vacation eighteen Scquts of the North Shore Area council attended winter camp under the leadership of W. Ted Grant, Field Scout executive, at "Cabin in the Woods" where they had the time of their lives. Many tests such as pion- eering, camping and cooking were passed. Each scout was taught how to swing an axe, how to make him- self useful in the woods and how to take care of himself while out of doors in severe weather. Five scouts were fortunate in receiving the high- est honor that campers can attain, and were taken into the Order of the Ar- row, namely: Ernest West, Troop 32, Highland Park; Philip Swabacker, Troop 17, Winnetka; Burton French, Troop 22, Glencoe; Jim Quigley, Troop 45, Lake Forest : Dave Canmann, Troop 35, Ravinia. The following scouts attended winter camp: Grant Herman, Troop 31, High- land Park; Merton Traub, Troop 31, Highland Park; Dave Canmann, Troop 35, Ravinia; Burton French, Troop 22, Glencoe; Jim Quigley, Troop 45, Lake Forest; Ernest West, Troop 32, Highland Park: Roderic Smith, Troop 33, Highland Park; Joe Rau, Troop 9, Wilmette ; Philip 'Swabacker, Troop 17, Winnetka; Tom Larson, Beauty Lies in Healthy EYES It's not so much the size or col- or of the EYES that makes them beautiful.

Good Turns Many troops in the Council donated and distributed toys and baskets of food to the needy families throughout our section.
