WIN611104 CUBS CAMP
AT INYERHURON SITE
Thirty Cubs from Wingham who'
spent last week-end at Camp Mar-
tyn, near Inverhuron are agreed
on one thing at, leapt, the open-air
life's the life. For some of the boys,
it was their first camping experi-
ence. It won't be their last, because
everyone of the lads had the time
of his young life,;;
With District Commissioner Ar-
chie Gowanloek in charge of the
two-day caipp, it couldn't, be any-
thing but a grand affair, 'but the
Scout commissioner passed the
credit on to the 'four young Cub
leaders,. Bill Rintoul, David Cam-
eron, Don McLean and Kenneth
Holmes, by saying, "These young
fellows are doing a great job of
work with the Cubs. Nothing seems
too much troublekto them, They
deserve any pats on the back that
might be going for the success of
the Wingham Cub's camp."
The Camp Martyn property be-
longs to the Walkerton Boy Scouts
Troop but is used by many of the
scouts in the area, Next month a
troop is coming from Hamilton for
a stay at the camp as well as
Scouts from Guelph and Listowel,
Cooking facilities and dining ac-
commodation are "laid on" in a
,permanent building 'hut the boys
are taught to pitch their own sleep-

Bi g feature of the. camp life Is
of course, the campfire. Around
the blaze the fellows swap yarns
sing songs and capture the feeling
of comradeship, an essential in the
art ,of happy living.

Dogcatcher's Job
Concerned /over the number of
dogs which are running at large
in the ,community and the !lumen
ous complaints of property owners
the town council has decided to
bring in an outside person to act
as dog catcher if necessary. Lem'
by-law prohibits the freedom of
dogs at this season of the year and
the council feels that a non-resident
would have less compunction about
enforcing the restrictions when re
quired.
Owners of 'dogs are asked for the
last time to comply with the by-lav
before drastic and unpleasant act-
ion in the matter is taken.
