and there will not be a regular

November 7th will be Inves-

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

PACK A
Twenty Cubs met at the
Scout House two weeks ago Sat-
urday for the purpose of a hike.
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.

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.
