WINNETKA TALK December 31, 1927 (Issued North S from Shore Area Council, Boy Scouts of America) 1928 and Scouting After almost eighteen years of prog- ress in Scouting development, we come headquarters, to the beginning of a new year. 1928 holds a challenge to us all. To those of us who are Tenderfoot Scouts 1928 should mean progress toward Eagle rank. To those of us who are not yet Junior Leaders of our troop 1928 means an opportunity to advance to- ward Senior Patrol Leader rank. And to all of us, young or old, Eagles or Tenderfoot, the New Year means for each a challenge to try harder to live up to the best of our possibilities, to the Scout Oath and Law. "Appreciation" Dinner Too often as Scouts we forget to say "Thank you" to our Scoutmaster and to show him in other ways that we appreciate the companionship that he has given us. The men of the North- shore Area Council appreciate the work being done by our Scoutmasters and are going to tell them so at a dinner in their honor to be held on Friday night, January 6, at the Green Tea Pot in Highland Park. 18th Birthday "What is your troop going to do to celebrate Anniversary Week?" is the question being asked wherever Scouts gather. Troops, patrols, and Scouts as individuals are working out special plans to make Scouting's birthday week the biggest possible of the year. Father and Sons Banquets, Inter- troop visits, window displays, troops going in a body to the church, and all sorts of special features are being worked out in the various troops. Your Scoutmaster will be glad to have you suggest to him some things which Jou would like to have your troop 0. First Aid Rally First Aid presents an opportunity for us all to "BE PREPARED." We all need to learn more about First Aid. A special incentive is being pro- vided for every troop to raise the standard of its first aid work by getting a picked team of six Scouts to pre- pare themselves to enter the Council First Aid contest which will be held at Glencoe Friday evening, January 27. Every troop should have a six- man team already at work, preparing to make a good showing. Hike to "Cabin in Woods" Scribe Adam Bauer, Wilmette Troop 9, reports that on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, December 9, 10, and 11, Troop 9 had a three-day hike to the "Cabin in the Woods" in which nearly every Scout present passed at least one test, one scout passed four, and three passed three tests. The troop received communion Sunday in a body at St. Herbert's church. Scoutmaster Kruesch, and Assistant Scoutmasters Braun and IL. Bauer were present. An old-fashioned dinner with Boston baked beans, a program of activities, with ~~ Scoutmaster Bob Townley demonstrating some new games, and many other special attractions are in- cluded in the Junior Leaders' All Day conference which will be held Satur- day, January 14, at "Cabin in the Woods." All assistant patrol leaders and higher rank Scouts are invited. Coming Events by Towns Wilmette--Board of Review, January 11. Monthly Rally and Court of Award, January 21.

HEAR RABBI MANN Rabbi Louis L. Mann of the Sinai Congregation, Chicago, talked to the North Shore Congregation Israel on Friday evening, December 30, on "Was Jesus a Myth?" at the Win- netka Masonic temple at 708 Elm street, Winnetka. The attendance of all the young folks as well as their parents was urged. The religious school of the North Shore Congregation Israel held no session last week, Sunday, December 25, and will hold none this week, Sun- day, January 1. This is due to the fact that, pending the erection of their own temple, the religious school is meeting at the Skokie grammar school, Winnetka. Mr. and Mrs. Willard €.
