Parade practice followed for the whole Pack and the meet- ing closed with the Grand Howl and Cub Prayer. Halloween night is a Thurs- day this year so -5• Pack will join with ..A.. Pack on Tues- day night (that week only, ) and there will not be a regular meeting on the Thursday. November 7th will be Inves- titure Night for the New Churns and also Parents' Night. All parents of B Pack boys are in- vited to conte down to the Scout House and watch the ceremony and also see a regu- lar meeting in progress. Cub or Scout neck scarves are urgently needed at this time, as the plaid cannot be obtained to make new ones. If you have one put away please send it down to Scout House either Tuesday or Thursday evening, as 12 are needed be- fore the end of October. These will be appreciated by leaders and New Churns. Good second-hand uniforms are still required. If you have one to sell please forward this . to Scout House and the Cub Leaders will be glad to take f care of it. tend which won:. `...:i: the c:c :otonv of th.rou- tine.

The outing took them around the river as they observed the gorgeous colours of autumn, the birds and animals. The out- ing ended with a wiener roast at the Scout House. The last two meetings have been spent mainly in working on 1st and 2nd Star require- ments for tests. Several pro • - ficiency badges were awarded last Tuesday evening. Terry i Reid, a new chum, was wel- corned into the Pack. i We would like to have as 1, many Cubs as possible with full' t l uniforms by Nov. 11th. Wingham United Church REV. C. M.

AN OLD-FASHIONED TURKEY SUPPER will be held on MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, at 6:30 p.m., for all members and adherents and their families. A Quilting The piecing and quilting of bed spreads gives another rea- son for a social gathering among the women folks, both young and old. Q'ailting pro- vides more scope than the mak- ing of rugs or mats which is also a very coni -on art among these people. The quilt de- signs of these people are very intricate and patterns are in- serted by the s:itching also. Age groups vary for these oc- casions. Sometimes a bride- to-be may invite a number of single girls to one, or middle- aged women may comprise a group. They =ay be a mixed number of then. or a family group. Regardless of the ages of the women they usually stay all day and are brought there by the fathers, brothers or hus- bands in baggies or cutters. Special meals are served, almost as elaborate as their wedding dinners and of course the conversation all day is mostly friendly chatter and . harmless gossip of the neigh- bourhood. Housekeeping na- turally dominates the talk or maybe they hint as to which couples might get married that season, somebody may be sick or another member may have left the church and joined a more progressive Mennonite Group. Such topics give ample opportunities for them to dis- cuss, and politics, education or other current events are hardly within their scope. If the quilt- ing uilting is one where only single girls are participating, their brothers or boy friends may come to get them after supper and all may take part in a "Singing" before they go home, Singings The main social event of all their young people from the time they leave school until they get married is a Sunday evening gathering called a "singing". This is always held at the homes of the different fanners in the congregation of a particular church. Theplace of meeting is generally decid- ed the previous Sunday night or right after the church service of the same Sunday. A few of the more prominent or older mem- bers of the group make the de- cision and disagreements sel- dom arise about this matter. Because. there arc six churches among this group there arc several groups of young people, with their Sun- day evening programs varying somewhat. However, the gen- tral order of activities is as follows. After supper all the :nays ',:sit among their group and the girls do the same. Niaat an English hymnal is usc;d and .:n hour or more is devoted to ' four part' or harmony sing- ing. Than sour gauaes(usually various forms of rimers) are: plc:; td, Itnown to thein as ring gatrirs. Chccicers, siniplc card games such as Lost liril' inay also he played by some groups. From 40 to 0(1 young people are ordinarily present at a sing- ing, one-half of thein likely having been there for supper. Apart from attending sales, weddings, barn raisings and quiltings, these Sunday night gatherings comprise all the so- cial activities that these young people ever indulge in. Barn Raisings One of the most exciting events in a Mennonite conunutr ity is a barn raising. If the barn has been destroyed by fire, as unfortunately is sometimes the case, neighbours and church members respond immediately to clean up the debris and a new structure is often replaced in two or three weeks time. If an extra barn is built or a new strawshed is erected the same cheerful and enthusiastic help, however, is given by the mem- bers. A master carpenter general- ly called a barn framer, looks after the layout of the barn (usually one of their own group), selects the necessary timbers and has them cut and fitted ahead of time. Now all that the helpers have to do on the day of the raising is to fit the parts together and set up the framework. Sometimes excite- ment runs high, if the men are divided into two sides with ex- perienced captains, and each side taking one end of the building. A certain part of the framework is called a "bent" and these are raised from the ground by a dozen. or more men with long pike poles, until the "bents" stand perpendicular in their proper places. The familiar "Yo heave", "Yo heave" commands from the captains ring out as the men push up on their pike poles with army precision. Accurate co-ordination is necessary in this type of dangerous work in order to avoid accidents. The rafters, sheathing and siding are usually put on the day of the raising. if it is a large barn one hundred or more men may be present. About 25 or 30 women prepare the food and serve the meals, Most of the food is donated by otherchurch s members. In a week or two after the raising the roof is on it and the stabling and silo al- most completed. Raising a barn and finishing it in such a short period of time is just one more illustration of their co- operative method of commun- ity living. Frank J. King Named Director Of Marketing Frank J.
