SNEWS ftNP NOTES OF THE BOY StOUTSy PACK TWO'S HIKE WAS A_SUCCESS Cub Huston Says Picture Is a Dandy; Wind Blowing Sure A good friend of ours gave an en- ! largement of a photograph taken on our hike of March 29th. You re- < member that windy day, don't you? | Well, the picture proves that the j wind was blowing some. Ask to 1 seo it. It's a dandy. The hike last Saturday was a great success. We learned a lot about wild flowers, thanks to the above j mentioned good friend, who was per- 1 suaded to go with us. From the time we left the church until we got back to the Square, there was some thing doing every minute. I forgot to say that we found seventeen kinds > of wild flowers. When we reached the glen at Spooky Hollow, we made : a flrc and some of the guys did some | cooking, and everybody ate. You , should have seen that pound of pea nuts disappear. After lunch the en gineers started to build a bridge across the stream, but owing to lack of time were unable to finish it. : Some inconsiderate photographer j made the most beautiful part of the I glen a dumping place for waste paper. The ground was littered with trimmings of prints, film wrappers, and so on. Wo gathered the stuff together and burned it. leaving the '■ place in better condition than we had found it. To-night we have lots of work to do. and sonte announce- : ments that you will want to hear. 1 Be sure to be on hand promptly, at 6:30.

YOU'RE NEEDED IN RALLY Bugler WeaY'cr Sends Out a Call For Scouts to Aid in Celebration Buglers will be needed on May second, the night of the big Scout Rally, and also in every parade. Most important of all will be the Peace Day ceremonies. In order to make a good showing, it Is impera tive that the buglers get together in the very near future for practice. All Scouts who can blow a bugle, are requested to send their name and troop to Headquarters, so that we can get in touch with them when needed. Does your troop have an official bugler If not —why not? A good bugler is an asset to any troop. For your information, 1 may state that there is only one official bugler in the city at present. YY'here are all the Scouts who are seen in every parade with bugles ? If you aro one of them, let me know when you are ready to qualify for the bugler's in signia and I will arrange to meet you. O.
