ing a fire by using the old Indian method of a bow,
when the Cubs were on a hike to the scout camp in
McLeod's bush on Friday. :A few strokes of the bow
produces smoke as a wooden peg spins in its socket
in a block of wood. It is a fine art to produce fire thus,
and you must have the right materials. Often read
about, one seldom sees fire successfully made in this
fashion. In fact this was the first time we ever saw
it done. Cub Bruce Lamont looks on.
