HANOVER BUCKS SAUGEEN LEVY A resolution was passed regular session of the Hanover town council that its representative, A. A. McCallan, request a more equitable system of assessing members of the Saugeen Valley Conservation Author­ ity. It was felt that Hanover’s assess­ ment was too high compared to other towns and villages in Bruce County. It was also felt that Hanover assess­ ment should be lowered in 1956 to compensate for this inequality in 1955. On the purchase of any of the following USED CARS or TRUCKS.

The boys used for the first time the bell tent bought from funds donated by the merchants on the main street. The Scouts left town after lunch on Saturday with most of their gear, fol­ lowing the trail along the river bank, and arrived at the camp site about three o’clock, A truck carrying the tent and bedding, with Herb Fuller and Alton Adams in charge, met them at the London Bridge, and the camp­ ing gear was hauled into the camp­ site, after everybody had had a swim? in the Maitland. Meals were prepared by the boys themselves, two Scouts being detailed to cook each meal. Although a little inexperienced in cooking the boys managed fairly well, and while some of the food had a distinct wood­ smoke flavor, none of the boys went hungry, even though appetites were sharpened by outdoor living. On Sunday morning Wilf Seddon arrived at the campsite to give the Scouts instruction on map reading, observation and judging distances. For observation practice he placed a num­ ber of objects in a defined area using natural camouflage as much as pos­ sible and asked the Scouts' to search the ground. Paul Bennett won top honors by finding seven out of ten objects, while most of the pther Scouts agreed that they could use a little practice in observation. During the judging distance practice the boys learned* to judge distance up to 250 yards, using objects in a field already measured before the instruc­ tion period. During. the swimming periods a number of the boys passed their swim- ing test for the First Class Badge, which requires the Scouts to swim a minimum of fifty yards. The return trip to town was made after supper on Sunday night. Taking part in the week-end camp were Byron Adams, Walt McKibbon, Wilf Pocock, Dave Carr, Paul Bennett and Brian Rider. Scoutmaster Miles Over­ end was in charge. STABLE BURNS, LOSS $3,000 Fire destroyed the 20-by-36-foot stable and loft of W. J. Finnigan in Egmondville. Unable to determine the cause of the blaze, Mr. Finnigan places his loss at $3,000 with some insurance. To his knowledge no one had been in the barn, A few days ago a load of baled hay had been stored in the barn and was lost in the blaze, as was everything else in the barn, but firemen managed to save a lean-to and most of its con­ tents, including a training-cart. A good supply of water from a nearby cistern aided Seaforth firemen. ‘REC’ DIRECTOR GRANTED LEAVE Listowel Recreation Commission in special session granted permission to Recreation Director Jim Watt to ac­ cept a contract to play professional football this fall with one of the Big Four teams, Mr. Watt, who came here from Guelph about six weeks ago, will con­ tinue as recreation director, He will leave next Tuesday to report for a two-week training period.

( FLAMES SWEEP WHEAT FIELD Ten acres of wheat was destroyed in a sudden fire which swept the farm of Don Edwards, second line, War­ wick Township, despite the efforts of near-by farmers to stop the blaze spreading with the use of wet sacks. Warwick Township Rural Fire De­ partment finally brought the fire under control. The fire broke out during combin­ ing operations, believed started by a spark. Watchmen stayed at the scene for several hours after the fire. The loss was covered by insurance. Before a new telescope-type stretcher, made of nylon and aluminum, was adopted by the Canadian Armed Forces, it got the works. They jumped on it, dropped rocks on it, tossed it out of aircraft and army lorries, froze it in ice, buried it in mud and sand. They finally gave up —and placed the order. Its lightness and compactness makes this rugged stretcher a natural for everything from northern air-rescue work to 'the needs of hospital, police, Civil Defence and other authorities ... Another job for Canada’s aluminum and the men who work wonders with it. ALUMINUM COMPANY OF CANADA, LTD.
