E. SUMMERS The scout Hall was filled to capacity Friday and Saturday nights for their Variety Show. Sunday afternoon's performance was supposed to be just for Perth County scouts and cubs but an overflow from the ticket sales were accommodated Sunday.

Bunny", "A Real Estate office in Mother Goose Land", "The Strongest Element " and "The Foam Ranger", put on by the leaders. It was a hilarous comedy; a mixed up western and a sea drama.
