Cub Meeting April 12
Despite the counter attraction of
the hockey game in Goderich there
was a very good turn out of Cubs
on Monday night. The leaders
were out' in full force and in ad-
dition, the badge examiner, Doug
Hardy, was at the meeting. Dur-
ing classwork period Raymond
Garon passed .his time -telling;
Doug Mair and Ken Johnson pas-
sed their flag tests; John Slavin,
Don Fremlin and Paul Draper pas-
sed their skipping tests and Wayne
Grigg passed his team player
badge.
Hike Easter Monday
All Cubs are reminded of a hike
on Easter Monday. Meet outside
Wesley -Willis Church at 8.45 on
Monday morning. Bring something
to cook, a few sandwiches just in
case, and a thermos of cocoa or
warm milk or a bottle of pop. Do
not bring your equipment in a
paper bag because these break -too
easily. Pack your food,etc., in a
haversack or cloth bag of some
sort. No dogs will be allowed on
this hike because the pack will be
taken out to the new Cub camp
site in cars and will start from
there. Boys will be back at the
church by 3.30 Monday afternoon.
if any of the boys' fathers want
to come along and bring their cars
they will be welcome.
Brownie Leader Wanted
There is an urgent need for a
Brownie leader in Clinton. A good
sized Brownie pack could be or-
ganized here when a leader and
meetiirg place are found.
Cubs Camp Huts
Perhaps you have been wonder-
ing about
onder-ing'about the blank space beside
the Cub and Scout column each
week. You may also have been
wondering what the small wooden
hut at the corner of Rattenbury
grid Albert Streets is for.
Well, it all' started about a year
ago when one of our very public
spirited citizens L. G. "Skip" Win-
ter offered his . pr"operty along the
shore of the Maitland River, north
of Holmesville for use by the
Scouts and Cubs. Last 'year the
Scouts established a camping site
back in the bush and enjoyed
many pleasant weekend camps.
Camping for Cubs is, however,
a little more restricted than it is
for Scouts. So this year it was
decided by the Cub leaders to try
to establish a proper Cub camp.
With the technical -knowhow of
Bill . Grigg, the Cub leaders have
built the first, hut'and this is the
hut you see on the main street of
Clinton. Dr. J. - A. Addison al-
t • ready has come forward and con-
, ' tributed the funds to build anoth-
i • er hut.
Four More Needed
The aim for this year is to build
six huts which will accommodate
24 Cubs for weekend camps. Next
year we would like to provide a
dining hall so that the Cubs could
Thereg to eks.
isr other town none or two et the
Huron area that can boast a prop-
er Cub camp and by the time the
Clinton one is completed it will be
second to none in the district.
With the proper backing it would
be definitely superior to the one
sponsored by London.
So let us all get behind this
worth while project and let the
young boys of Clinton have the
facilities and opportunities of
camping during the summer and
good weather months that we
would all have liked to have had
when we were kids. Perhaps you
cannot donate a hut but every
dollar contributed makes it that
much closer to finishing another
hut. If you have any 'two by
fours" or "two by two's" you can
spare please get in touch with
Dia,Cornish, "Skip" Winter or BIll
Grigg. They will do the rest,.

Alertness on the part of one of
Clinton's citizens, and quick action
in reporting to the police depart-
ment led to the arrest of a Varna
man on Sunday evening, and a
charge of drunk driving has been
laid. The man had been noticed to
be in an apparently inebriated con-
dition, and about to drive off in
his car. Upon receiving word,
Constable Robert Quayle gave
chase in the cruiser and appre-
hended the man and his companion
on the road leading to Bayfield.
When the car was brought into
town, it was found by the police
that there was little if any brakes
in the car.
