Zurich Herald, 1931-11-05, Page 6On October llth, Thanksgiving
Sunday, 'the Silver Fox Patrol at Pick-
ering held a Church Parade at the
local Anglican Church, attending the
evening service, •
Their numbers were swelled very)
considerably by the members of the
Sea Scout Troop from Oshawa, under
the command of. Captain Rigg, and by
the members of the 5th Oshawa Troop,
who journeyed in by automobile to
assist and encourage these Lorries.
Scoutmaster Dou Hutchinson of the
2nd. Ontario Lone Scout. Troop also
attended, and brought with him the
Lone Scout Flag, and he was acconi
panied by Commissioner John Fur -
winger and Lone Scout Bruce John-
son from Toronto..
The service was conducted by the
Rev. Mr. Robinson, father of the
Patrol Leader of the Silver Foxes, and
the sermon was preached by Mr,
Terett, Scoutmaster of the 5th Oshawa
Troop, whose remarks centred on the
story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-
nego, whom he likened to the first
Lone Scout Patrol in history, with
Daniel as their Patrol Leader.
ing, Doug. passed on the leadership of
the Bear Patrol to Lone Scout John
brewer, in whose hands we know that
the Patrol will continue to progress.
The appointment of a Leader to the
Lion Patrol has not yet been made,
heti is expected shortly, and we are
looking forward to big things from
Lakefiold under this new reorganiza-
tion.
Lone Scout W. Brown of Sunderland
R.R. 1 has written us a very cheerful
letter, in which he says that he has
been out in this country from England
for eighteen months, and he lea* been
working on a farm, which life he very
much enjoys. His chief ambition at
the moment is to be a Icing's Scout,
and he is working hard to this end.
We sure wish him lots of good luck
and good scouting too.
Don't forget about that Christmas

tioned last weeki
Lone Scout Question Box
Are there any Lone Rovers in Can-
ada?—(B.T., Oil City.)
There is no organization which
caters to Lone Rovers; such as the
Lone Scout Department does to the
Lone Scouts. We do not think, how-
ever, that there is any objection to a
Rover Scout who is isolated from
others, working as a Lone Rover.
Full information on this subject can
be obtained from the Commissioner
for Rover Scouts, Boy Scouts Associ-
ation, 330 Bay Street, Toronto 2.
Lone Scouts and other:, are invited.
to send in questions on' scouting sub-
jects, which "Lone E" will endeavor
to answer `week by week in these
columns.
Full information concerning the
Lone Scout Movement may be obtain-
ed from the Lone Scout Department,
Boy Scouts Association, at the ad-
dress given above. All boys between
12 and 18 years of age who cannot
join a regular Scout .Troop are eligible
to become Lone Scouts.
After the service the Scouts were
enetrtained at the Rectory, and all
voted the occasion a great success
and a most enjoyable and instructive
time.
Lone Scout Ronald Sage of Ingersol
is very keen indeed. Recently he at-
tended a banquet given by the mem-
bers of the Ingersol Troop, where he
met other Scouts from Embro, Wood-
stock, Tillsonburg and London. He
tells us that the 1st London Troop
turned out in full force to visit their
friends at Ingersoll, ar ` they had a
great time, which Ron fully enjoyed.
We are sorry to l ear that Patrol
Leader Douglas Macdonald of the
Bear Patrol at Lakefield has been
forced to relinquish the leadership of
his Patrol, an dthus both the Patrols
at "The Grove" School have lost their
old Leaders. However, before leav

years, will be provided on August ill

The "zone of totality" Is roughly
100 miles wide brit for scientific pur-
poses it is desirable to be located as
closely as possible to the central line.
In the 1932 eclipse this line will cross
the Canadian National Railway be-
tween stations adjacent to the town of
Parent, Quebec. Originating in the
Arctic regions, the shadow will -sweep
down across Hudson Bay, skirt the
eastern shore of James Bay and cross
the St, Lawrence near Maskinonge and
Pierreville, some 50 miles east of
Montreal. Canada.
The duration of the eclipse is. about
100 seconds, the shadow travelling at
the rate of half a mile a second.. The
700 utiles between James Bay and that
coast of Maine, where the shadow wilt
pass out to sea, will therefore be tra-
versed In approximately 23 minutes.. It
will cross the St, Lawrence at 3;2a
E.S.T„ and the international boundary
at 327 pan.
The last eclipse of the sun to be ob-
served as total in Canada occurred. on;,
January 24, 1925, when the path of
totality swept across western Ontario.
