TAKE IT EASY
WITH SNOW SHOVEL
Snow shovelling requires a
great deal of energy and is not
the kind of exercise for the over-
weight or the over -forties. It
can be a good activity if it is
taken easily, when the snow is
light and the shoveller not fa-
tigued. Frequent rest periods
are in order. For those who are
prone to, or have had, heart
attacks, the services of a neigh-
borhood lad are preferable

PACK "A" CUBS
(Intended for last week)
Pack A Cubs met on Tues-
day evening with 29 boys and
three leaders present. Inspection
was taken by Akela Murray Fri-
denburg and Raksha D.Rintoul.
The special woggle was award-
ed to Bill Brown of the White
Six.
After inspection everyone
was put to work. Each six was
made responsible for decorat-
ing a table centre for the Fa-
ther and Son banquet. Each
started out with just a piece of
oval shaped wood and by the
addition and arranging of col-
ored paper, plasticise, flags,
pine sprays and feathers, turned
out some very interesting pieces
of work.
Akela presented Tom Walk-
er with a seconder's stripe and
made him seconder in the
Green Six. To even things up
Doug Casemore was moved
from the Green Six to the Brown
Six.
The boys were given print-
ed information for parents on a
trip to Toronto to see a giant
scouting display. This would be
an excellent opportunity for the
Cubs to see what a big and
wonderful organization they are
in.
Murray Leggett led in the
closing Grand Howl.

PACK "A"
Thirty-two boys and three
leaders were present for the
Pack A meeting on Tuesday.
Beware of Drycleaning Agents
Should you use carbon tet in
the home? "No", reply safety
and medical authorities.
"Family Safety" Magazine
has this to say: Carbon tetra-
chloride is a common, readily
available household chemical
used over a wide range of clear-
ing operations, from removing
spots on clothing, cleaning up-
holstery, degreasing stoves and
automobile parts to bringing
out the watermark in stamp
collecting, and sometimes is
contained in insecticides and
fire extinguishers.
Despite its widespread use,
few persons realize the danger
of carbon tet. It is thought of
as a "safe" cleaning fluid be-
cause it is nonflammable, but
is one of the most toxic house-
hold substances known.Swallow-
ing only a teaspoonful hascaus-
ed death. There is also evidence
that it can be absorbed directly
through the skin. Its most vi-
cious hazard is its vapor which
a person can innocently inhale.
Carbon tet evaporates quickly
when exposed to air, giving off
vapor that is more poisonous
than that of its cousin, chloro-
form. Only three thimblefuls
of carbon tet will saturate the
air to the danger point in an un-
ventilated room 10 feet square
by 10 feet high.
The victim who inhales car-
bon tet usually has no warning
at the time that he is being
poisoned. Symptoms appear
after the damage has been done.
The carbon tet is taken from
the lungs to the blood stream
and deposited in the fatty tis-
sues of the body, primarily the
brain and liver. A stricken per-
son may become dizzy, nause-
ated, jaundiced and begin to
cough. He may think he is
coming down with the " flu". In
severe cases the kidneys stop
functioning entirely. Anyone
who inhales carbon tet is risk-
ing severe poisoning, and set-
ting himself up as a candidate
for death if he has an alcoholic
drink or two before, after, or
during the time he is using car-
bon tet. For some unknown
medical reason, having alco-
hol and carbon tet in the body
simulataneously makes a person
many times more susceptible
to poisoning.
When buying cleaning sol-
vents beware of any containing
carbon tet. Let it stay on the
shelf. Look for less toxic sol-
vents such as perchlorcthylene,
trichlorethylene, methylchloro-
form and trichloretylene mark-
eted under various brand names.
They are much less toxic but,
even so, have an anaesthetic
effect and a few good whiffs
can overcome a person. But
these four solvents in low con-
centration do not cause perma-
nent bodily damage as does
carbon tet.

No Injuries in
Bridge Accident
Two men escaped injuries
when their car hit the railing
of the McKenzie Bridge and
nearly ended up in the river at
5:30 Saturday afternoon.
The car was driven by Ter-
rence K.Jonah of Waterloo,
and was owned by his passenger,
Robert J. McGlynn, of Kitchen-
er.
The mishap occurred when
the car was travelling south,
and failed to stop when another
car was on the bridge. Damage
to the front end of the vehicle
was extensive. A bridge warn-
ing sign was knocked into the
river.
The accident was investigat-
ed by Constable Ron Zimmer of
the local police. Charges are
pending,
stances giving off toxic vapors,
should be used outdoors advise
Lands and Forests safety person-
nel. If you must use them in-
doors make sure that windows
are open to create a cross cur-
rent of fresh air. Do not allow
vapor to settle around your face.
Are you going to dry clean
garments, sleeping bags, furni-
ture? Do it outdoors and leave
the articles outside, not for 30
minutes or 1 hour but several
hours. The article may be dry
and the odour have disappeared
but there is danger of toxic va-
por not being completely dis-
pelled, and when someone goes
to use the article in an enclosed
area he may be overcome.
Are you bringing garments
home from the do-it-yourself
dry cleaners? Open two windows
in your car. There will be toxic
vapor collecting in your car and
you run the danger of absorbing
it into your system if there is
not a direct current of fresh air
to dispel it.
TRANSISTOR DEVICE
TO HELP MUTE SPEAK
Russian doctors have devel-
oped a device to enable mute
people to "speak... A tobacco
pipe modified by battery-oper-
ated transister device creates
vibrations which allow the user
to speak through mouth move-
ments.

The Grand Howl was led by
Gene Porter of the Brown Six,
which was duty six for the even-
ing. The boys were given two
minutes to get in shape for in-
spection. The special woggle
was awarded to a new Cub,
Brian Gordon of the White Six,
who has done a very good job
over the past weeks.
New stars were handed out
to replace older ones and ser-
vice stars were given to some
of the boys.
Akela Murray Fridenburg
presented Gene Porter with his
Collector's and Toymaker's
badges, Murray Leggatt with
Toymaker's badge and Doug
Mason with his Collector's
badge.
A fast moving game called
"Bombs Away" was played.
First Star Cubs went with Baloo
Louise Lloyd to do exercises
while others worked on receiv-
ing and telling messages with
Raksha Donald Rintoul,
Each Cub was given notice
of the Mothers' Auxiliary meet-
ing on March 23, to be taken
home to his mother. The boys
were reminded to wear full uni-
form to the Father and Son
banquet.
PACK "B"
Twenty-five Cubs of Pack
met last Thursday evening for
their weekly meeting with an
excellent turnout of leaders.
Top three places for the even-
ing were won by the Blue, Red
and Yellow (tied) and Green
Sixes.
The Brown Six led in the
Grand Howl and Akela introdu-
ced the leaders under their new
pack names, which the Cubs
will use at meetings. The ma-
jor activity of the evening con-
cerned review of First Star
knots. The sixers studied with
the ACM's before leading their
own sixes in a brief instruction
period, .and then in c?oinpeti-
tion with the other sfis4s. The
Yellow Six placed first in two
contests.
At the closing ceremonies,
Stephen Lloyd, one of two
Cubs who passed Second Star
knots during the evening, was
awarded the special woggle,
held the previous week by Da-
vid Walker. The boys were re-
minded of the Father and Son
banquet to take place on Wed-
nesday, March 17, and were
also given forms to take home
concerning an April trip to the
"World Scouting" exhibition
in Toronto.
