Scouters Adamson, Poxon and Pessah handled the meeting on the 13th and Scouters English and Adamson were in charge on the 20th. We are sorry to say that Scouter Ben Pessah-who has been with us for some time is leaving. For the past six or seven weeks - his assistance has been greatly appreciated and now that his course is finished he is leaving for another part of Canada. These last two !meetings have been more or less devoted•.entirely to brushing up for Parents' Night on May 5, and consequently there is very little to report in the way of test passing and new work. A notable change has come over our troop since ;!receiving their new neckerchiefs. These, neckerchiefs are very colorful and have been well received by the boys and have contributed considerably to the neatness of their appearance. The reports from last week's safety campaign sale of "'reflecting tape" are in and show good re- sults. The profit from this cam- paign will be turned over to the Scout and Guide Group Committee to be used for activities of Scouts and Guides in Adastral Park. Word has been received from Centralia of a Bronze Arrow Course being held there from May 7 to May 8. This course is design- ed to train Patrol Leaders and those likely to become Patrol Leaders. The only qualification is second class standing or better. We have been advised to submit a list of all our boys interested and will be advised shortly of how many can be accommodated. It is sincerely hoped that our troop will be well represented on this enter- taining and worthwhile course. A last reminder — don't forget Parents' Night May 5—each and every Scout or Cub parent is cordially invited. Be sure to leave this date open. RCAF STATION CUB NEWS There has been a great deal of activity in the First Clinton Air Force Wolf Cub Pack.

TNECAIgtrtSPOtTS COLUMN The fabled 4 -minute mile, a mirage that leas lured the world's greatest runners over the years but bas remained, tantalizingly, just beyond their grasp, may finally become a reality at the British Empire and Common- wealth Games in Vancouver this year, duly 30 to August 7. For the figure -filberts, the perfect four- minute mile should be run in laps like this: First lap. 58.5; Second lap: 59.5 (1.58 at the half). Third lap: 61.0; Fourth lap: 61.0 (2.02.0 at the half). Add it up: four minutes flat. History's greatest mile was run by Gunder Hagg of Sweden back in 1945. He ripped it off in four minutes, one and three -tenths seconds. In 1944, Arne Anderson, another Swede, reeled off the mile in 4.01.6,the second -faster ever run. Hagg's record still stands. But today, a whole new group of middle-distance runners is bidding for a new record at the classic mile distance, and beyond that, for the elusive 4 - minute mile. Men like Roger Bannister of England, John Landy of Australia, and Wes Santee of the United States have made back -breaking and heart -breaking efforts to match, and perhaps to reach: a few strides beyond Gunder's record, and to hit the 4 -minute mile. Last June, Bannister clicked off the 1760 yards in 4.02 flat, and Australia's brilliant Landy matched that time in December, A year earlier, Landy was clocked at 4.02.1. Santee's best mark to date is 4.02.3, but experts feel he is capable of doing much better, especially if he can get com- petition from men like Bannister and Landy. Santee is not, of course, eligible for the Empire Games, but Bannister and Landy will both be there, possibly, along with a couple of newcomers who are catapulting to the top in track's Hall Of Fame. They are Murray .Halberg of New Zealand, and England's young bank clerk, Gordon Pirie, though the latter is by no means a certain entry. But put Bannister, Landy,Heiberg, and, perhaps, Pirie, too, on the starter's mark at ancouver on Saturday, August. 7, and provide them with a perfect track, hot, sunny, windless weather, and the elusive 4 -minute mile may be elusive no longer. Of course, when the big Vancouver show ends, American promoters will be doing their best to encourage post -Gaines track meets, and if the four -minute mile isn't realized in Van- couver, it may be shortly afterwards. Then men are available. The time Is ripe.
