Toronto to catch a plane for
Alberta. Two former
Wingham Scouts, "Tommy
Greenall of Windsor and
Michael Herd of Regina,
Saskatchewan, will join the
boys at the jamboree.
The Scouts have been
Rreparing forthe jamboree
s
fair several months. Their
recent camping experiences
have enabled them to
practice their cooking, rope.
tying and first aid skills':
The, local Scouts have
helped fund the trip them-
selves through a pen drive,
the sale of firewood and
other projects.
The jamboree is to be the
largest in the history of
Scouting, bringiog bringingtogether
25,000 boys aged lil to 14 from
• all over the world.
It will include such events
as a rodeo, an obstacle
course, a mountain hike and
a Scout Olympics. The boys
will camp outdoors and
prepare their own meals.
The Scouts see the trip as a
good chance to meet and
compete with boys from
other countries. It also will
be a chance for fellowship
and developing friendships.
The boys ' are eager to

emergency situation, for
example, a plane crash- He
also added he is eager to
meet and talk with Scouts
from other areas.
A. J. Kaufman reported he

excited about going. Some of
theboys said they hope to

exhausting • — but, always
rewarding,, he added.

Appliances
damaged during
'brawn -out' ;
A number of refrigerators
and freezers in town were
damaged during a "brown-
out” caused by thefailure'of
a Hydro :power supply ':line
last week. ,
A spokesman for the
Wingham Public Utilities
Commission explained the
problem was caused by the
burning out of one phase on a
three-phase, 40,000 -volt
Hydro line near the Western
Foundry.
This dropped back the
voltage in some areas of
town, causing lights to dim
and in some cases burning
out compressor motors in
appliances.
Other areas suffered a
complete blackout instead of
the brown -out, and 'there no
damage occurred.
By Monday the PUC had
received 14 reports of
damaged freezer motors.
The claims are being passed
on to its insurance company,
A PUC spokesman advised
unplugging appliances such
as freezers and refrigerators
during a brown -out, Signal-'
led by dirriming lights and
television picture shrinkage,
to prevent damage caused
when the compressor motor
overheats as a result of
trying to start up or run on
low voltage.
