PANTHER'PATRO
By Jeff Anders°
Our meeting took place last
Wednesday night. It started off
with a roaring soccer game.
'Then came inspection followed
by a discussion -and what a dis-
cussion it was!
During the discussion period
a letter was read. It was sent
by Ken Robinson, a fo r m er

really enjoyed Scouts in Wing -
ham.
After the discussion David
Fish had an entertainment per-
iod. David and Jeff Anderson

Martin spent the afternoon ex-
ploring. Just iniide a bush we
saw some raccoon tracks that
led to an old abandoned shelter.
Scouter Martin showed us how
to make a reed whistle out of
red willow. He also taught us
how to lay and light a fire. We
enjoyed the warmth of it be-
cause we were cold and wet.
When we arrived back we
were tired and hungry but we
had enjoyed our hike thanks to
Scouter Martin.

An even more noticeable
losing battle is being fought by
the other network, CBC, with
its half-hour "Comedy Cafe"
on Saturday nights after hockey:
As of the 15th, that show has
'bit the dust' and another series
moved into the tune slot. 'Cafe'
had its funny moments`, : but no
doubt leading to its downfall
were its F r en c h •- Canadian,
Montreal -Toronto, and local
Chicoutimi jokes that were of.
no interest to other Canadians.
Its cast was Joan Stuart, Dave
