The cycle tour started June 10 from Oak Harbor, Ohio, a town about the same. size as Wingham, according to one of the Boy Scouts, Greg Murphy. The group traveled across the border to Leamington and right up to the midway point of the tour, Kincardine, before turning around for the return journey. Leader Roger Carpenter said he hopes to be back in Oak Harbor Thursday af- ternoon. The tour will cover approximately 1,100 miles.

Every- where they have gone, said Mr. Murphy, they have been met by friendly people who are naturally curious about, their expedition. The Sccouts traveled approximately 50 miles per day and stopped to camp each night. They were not plagued by rain, but the hot sun caused some agonizing sunburns along the way. Also, Southwestern Ontario has a hillier terrain than their native Ohio so the boys sometimes found it hard going to peddle up some the area's larger hills, but "It's all downhill from here," said Mr. Carpenter. • Representatives from the Wingham Boy Scout troupe, Marty Cretier and Ken Foxton, joined their American counterparts at Riverside Park last Friday night for a get together. When contacted later, Mr. Foxton said the four leaders bought four large pilus for the hungry cyclists which were quickly devoured. After a good dinner and breakfast cooked over an open campfire, (the boys did all the cooking), the Oak Harbor Scouts left early Saturday morning to com- plete the final leg of their trek home.
