Leader Dianne Thynne said she was more than pleased with the parent participation. Although the Cubs and Scouts were disappointed that they did not have a full truck load of paper, the price of paper was exceptionally high, and with the help of the donated trucks, they were able to make some money from that project. They were pleased with the response with the paper collection in Belgrave, but felt the paper had already been collected in Bluevale and Whitechurch. Another drive will be held in the spring and house- holders are urged to save papers for the boys. Old magazines and catelogues also are acceptable. The boys obtained some money from the baskets they collected. A returnable bottle drive will be held early in the new year and a committee will be set up at the next meeting to start working on it. Mrs. Thynne, reporting for the BeOvers, said she had three full-fledged leaders besides herself and several helpers. Dennis O'Brien took the Wood Badge Part 1 in Port Elgin, and it was reported that all new leaders have been outfitted with new uniforms. • A” thank -you note is to be written to the Sportsmen's Club for the Hallowe'en party it sponsored for the Beavers.
