TROOP26ONA TRIPTOCAVE Scouts Enjoy Their Outing to Hummelstown; 'Red' Crane Tells the Story On Saturday afternoon some of the troop undar Asistant Scoutmasters Sparron and Maehlen took a trip to the cave at Hummelstown. Going through the cave we came to a large chamber where we heard a hissing sort of a- noise. One of the [fellows said, "It's a wild cat," b*it flashing the light to the wall it [ proved to be bats hanging on the I wall. After wading through mud and water, not to mention the many I times we slipped in the muddy places, Iwe reached the other end and made jour last climb of ten feet out of the rear end of the cave. Back again at the mouth of the cave were wj had entered a fire was built. After It had burned down to a heap of red hot coals Mr. Sparron showed the fellows how to bake a kobob. About five of the fellows passed their second-class test In meat cook ing. "The proof of the pudding Is In the eating" 'and believe me, they wished that the test called for a pound of meat instead of a quarter pound. After this test was past a number of the Scouts tried to make a tire with two matches, using only wild wood material. Only two scouts suc ceeded is making their fire. After another exploration through the cave we extinguished the fire with snow and hiked back to Hum melstown to get a car for home. One of the smallest scouts ®f the party was always wanting to get. a drink, •he was a tenderfoot, so we excused him. Moidijr. Nlckt'i Meeting After the opening exercises Mr. \ ahaman read a clipping from an out-of-town paper, telling of a boy furteen years old who had saved another boy who had broken through the ice while skating. People stood in horror stricken on the short while -he bravely rescued the other boy at , the risk of his oAvn life. This boy happened to be a Scout. Another ex ample of a Scout living up to his motto: "]e prepared.". After a short business discussion the remainder of the meeting was given over to Assistant Scoutmaster Sparron. His 'talk and demonstra tions were of the second class test, namely, the use of the knife and hatchet, fire building and the cook ing of meat. He asked the fellows what weapon they would choose if they were ma rooned on an island or left alone in the wilderness and had but one choice. There were many different things they would have taken, but the one most important was a good -knife. An the second choice was a hatchet. With these two one can make most of the things needed for securing food and building shelter. They were told the proper way to use and take care of a knife and I hatchet. Wood was then arranged on the basement floor to show- how easy-it was to make a fire. ' A demonstration and discussion of | friction fire with bou and drill was ■ performed. The best kind of wild wood tinder to be used is shredded cedar bark and an old mouse's nest, i One of the Scouts asked if a shrcd- I dpd wheat biscuit would do and to i that there was a loud chorus of laughter. The meeting was ended with two boys taking the Scout oath to be come tenderfeet. I "RED" CRANE. Assistant Scoutmaster.
