A short "guess and tell" game was played prior to the meeting. Opening exercises were taken by Akela, Murray Fridenburg and Murray Leggatt of the yel- low six led the Grand Howl. In- spection was carried out by all leaders and then attendance and dues marked. A six relay was played in which each boy had to give the Cub left-hand shake, salute, grin and a hearty "How do you do." White neckerchiefs were handed out to Jim Ritter, Randy MacKay and Bob Williams. Ran- dy Pepper received the 1st Wing - ham Cub neckerchief. All boys were welcomed to the Pack by Akela. A short period was spent on various aspects of Cubbing. One group worked un semaphore, the new churns were aided with their tenderpad requirements and knotting was reviewed by another group. Doug Mason, Doug Selling and Murray Leg- gatt passed 'Thrift', a 2nd star requirement. During closing exercises Akela announced that he was leaking Cubs to take on a Nig- ger task -- that of Scoutmaster. We in Pack "A" will miss him tremendously. In the past two years he has guided many boys successfully towards scouting. We all would like to say a big thanks to Akela and, in turn, wish him well in the very im- portant work he will be doing for the Scouts of Wingham and Scouting in general. G. A. WILLIAMS, O.D.

And everyone was bust- ling about, grabbing the sheet from Uncle Ned's bed to cover the tomatoes, coughing and wheezing while trying to get rid of the smell of mothballs on the 'minks', and searching frantic- ally for the red flannels! Our village 'Longfellow', Laurie Steven, must havebeen walking home on such a night as those we hake been enjoying this week when he wrote his first poem at the age of ten. Entitled "Autumn", it sounds so real that you can almost feel the 'ole north wind'. AUTUMN The trees are dying, The flowers are crying. When Autumn comes again; The leakes are falling And winter's calling; All flecked with frost and rain. The water's cool In every pool, When Autumn brings the blare Of icy winds That tickle chins, In the chilling northern air. —Laurence D. Steven. Clement at their home here. Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
