Leaves Cubs to
Wingham Advance --Tunes, Thursday, Sept. 30, 1965
Be Scoutmaster
The regular meeting of Pack
A Cubs was held at the Scout
House with four leaders and 34
boys present. 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.

is Actually, we were too busy
mopping our brows to notice.
"Nice fella, that Jack Frost, "
we thought, "he forgot to come
this year!" But no, he didn't
forget --he arrived on the week-
end --in all his chilling splen-
dor. 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.
