Inspection followed and Philip Beard won the prize woggle for the night, and was highly com- plimented on his neat and tidy uniform, shining shoes and clean hands and nails. Attendance reported 33 pre- sent .and all the leaders. Donnie and Ricky Shropshall were wel- comed back to the Pack, not having previously attended a meeting this year. This brings the enrollment of "9" Pack to 35 boys. A busy period followed with instruction and the passing of first star requirements. Parents please help your boy get the bulb, plant or seeds started as this takes time and must be brought into the Scout House before the Cub may complete his first star. A record of the planting and growth of this must also be kept to teach the boys to know growing and caring for plants. The boys were compliment- ed on the excellent turn -out of 29 "B" Pack Cubs for the Ar- mistice Day Parade. While the IWAS TOO RUSHED AGAIN TODAY FOR MUCH LUNCH. I'M GLAD YOU'RE SUPPLEMENTING YOUR DIET WITH VITAMINS FROM VANCE'S DRUG STORE weather was very damp, it did not dampen the spirits of these eager Cubs -- congratulations on your effort. The meeting closed with the Grand Howl and Cub prayer. 0--0--0 Cub mothers are reminded again of the tickets being sold by the Mothers' Auxiliary to raise funds for their work, Any- one requiring these may call 357-1423, Mrs. Jack Stephens. 0--0-0 Cubs are reminded to bring their study books and test cards every meeting that they may have an up-to-date record as they pass their tests. This is necessary to help keep records in order and credit the boys as they earn the stars. 0--0--0 Now that the wet weather is here all parents are requested to be sure that their boys bring proper shoes -- clean and tidy — to wear during the meeting. No boys with sox or slippers will be permitted nor will outdoor boots be allowed in the hall. This is first to keep the uniform neat and smart, but also for the pro- tection of the boys as the floor is wood and also cold. Your co- operation in this matter will be very much appreciated by all the leaders. The uniform is still required even though long pants may now be worn due to the weather. 0--0--0 BELGRAVE CUBS 1st Belgrave Cub Pack met for the regular meeting in the Community Centre last Tues- day with 20 Cubs and four lead- ers present. Akela opened with the grand howl followed by the Lord's prayer. For inspection the Black Pack was ahead with Neil Vincent as sixer, and had their pennant on the totem pole. Several games were enjoyed and several of the Cubs passed tests, Bagherra instructed new churns and they will be invest- ed at the next meeting. Baloo instructed the lst star members in first aid. A number of these Cubs will receive their second star shortly and then move up to Scouts. The next meeting will be held on November 26, NEED MORE REST IN COLD WEATHER Because of the greater de- mands upon it, your body needs more rest in winter than in summer. A relaxing evening at home, a warm bath and an early night's sleep can do as much for you as a good tonic. Sleep is Nature's great restorer, so get plenty of rest and you will find that you will get more enjoyment out of your waking hours, Don't let cold weather catch you with your battery down PLAQUE ERECTED More Space Needed for County Museum GODERICH^Huron county council has honored the mem- ory of Gavin Green, donor of many articles in the Huron mu- seum, by erecting a plaque in- side the entrance. At a cere- mony attended by many mem- bers of council, the memorial was unveiled by Mrs. P. J. Green, Goderich, a niece and one of the few relatives of the late Gavin Green, who died in October, 1961, just six months short of the century mark. For many years he conducted the "Old Curiosity Shop" on Hamil- ton street, and acquired an- tique articles of which he later gave many to the museum. Participating in the cere- mony were Warden Walter J. Forbes; Reeve Ivan Haskins of Howick, chairman of the pro- perty committee; Reeve Frank Walkom of Goderich, and H. J. Neill, curator of the museum. SENSIBLE, SAYS SMITH The warden took occasion to thank the people of the county for their support of the museum. "Mr, Gavin Green," he said, "always took an interest in the museum and in historical events, We appreciate the gifts hemade from time to time. Upon his death we received a cash dona- tion to further the work of the museum. We considered it ad- visable at the time to remodel the front entrance, and with county funds it enabled us to close in the office area and make it more comfortable for the personnel to work in." Mrs, Green said her kinsman always took an interest in the museum and was happy to do anything he could for it. Reeve Walkom spoke of the value of the museum as a tour- ist attraction. Earlier in the afternoon, Curator Neill had told council Reach Compromise For Representation By W. E. Elliott GODERICH—County council in September moved for greater representation on the Children's Aid board, on the ground that "he who pays the piper calls the tune." The wardens and personnel committee proposed that members of the health board be members of the C. A. S. body, without increasing the number of directors. This would have ousted some of the present directors. It was sent to the C.A.S. for consideration, The result has been a com- promise, "not exactly what the committee asked for," as chair- man A. D. Smith explained. Through secretary John G. Berry the C.A.S. board writes consenting to three additional members being appointed "when vacancies occur on the board." These representatives are to be chosen by the nomin- ating committee of the C. A. S. board "from the county council members as a whole, and will be subject to the usual vote at the annual meeting." Furthermore, the plan is to run for two years before becom- ing final practice. Also, in the event the members from council do not comply with the rules and regulations of the So- ciety they will be treated as any other member, and also of course will receive no commit- tee pay, but only mileage to the meetings. Committee chairman Smith, reeve of Turnberry, called it a sensible conclusion. "We have reached a com- promise on the situation," he said, "and they are going to choose the members of council to represent us, so we have made some headway. We had intended to have the health committee take this over, but the C.A.S. had some doubts. It has been a nice thing that we were able to do that without any acrimonious debate." The report was carried. the museum is overcrowded, and asked for an addition to en- able proper display of the arti- cles therein. "We need a building 60 by 80," he said, "at the rear of what we have, going out to Bruce street. We should set up a drug store, a grocery, furni- ture and other things, besides relieving the present museum of many articles so the remainder can be put in better order. "We have had a real good year. We have had almost 22, 000 registered, and a large school bus from Niagara district is booked for Saturday, which is unusual at this time of year. I turned in $5,135, and had the best of help all year. Response to our pamphlets has been won- derful; we have not found one thrown in the yard or torn up. "We are refusing valuable articles. To take care ofdona- tions people wish to give us we should have more room. What the museum has cost from the start I do not know, but I have turned in $44, 631, and if every- thing could be put down in fig- ures I am sure it has paid the highest dividends of anything operated by the county." "I do not think anything at the plowing match created more interest than Mr, Neill's exhi- bit," said Reeve Glenn Webb of Stephen. "I think the appreci- ation of council should be ex- pressed to him and Mr. Chis- holm." "Huron county museum is known far and wide, and coun- cil gives the credit to Mr. Neill," said the warden, amid applause. Five Townships Will Benefit A published report from Tor- onto regarding provincial as- sistance to low -assessment mu- nicipalities for road mainten- ance, including snowplowing, was not entirely clear to coun- cil members. Reeve Donald McKenzie, Ashfield, asked de- puty clerk -treasurer B. G. Han- ley, who attended the conferen- ce of mayors and reeves in Tor- onto, if he could elaborate. "It was my understanding," CHARTER MEMBERS of the Kinsmen Club who have since left the organization were guests at the 15th An- niversary Night which took the form of a civic and press evening. The group includes from the left: Scott Reid, John Strong, Jack Lloyd, "Bud" Cruickshank, Ross Hamilton, Jim Hamilton, Harry Spry, Clare Can- teton and DeWitt Miller, --Advance-Times Photo. Mr, Hanly said, "that the pro- vince was corning out with a new formula on subsidies, to be based on assessment and road mileage. "They have not named the municipalities it will affect in Huron, but there are five that will benefit, and they will be receiving word in the next few days: Grey, Turnberry, Morris, McKillop and East Wawanosh." Quality has everything in its favor including the price.
