Blue And Gold Banquet
Held For Cub Scouts
One hundred
persons attended the Blue and
Gold banquet of the local Cub
Scouts Wednesday night in the
firehouse. Charlie Maizer, Lan-
caster, performed magic for the
Cubs and their parents. The
Donegal High School Bottlers
presented special music for the
occasion.
Six Cubs advanced to
rank of Lion. They are Thomas
Meckley, Richard Nornhold
(plus one gold and 2 silver ar-
rows), Gary Holtzman (plus 1
gold and 2 silver arrows), Den-
nis Beamenderfer (plus 1 gold
arrow), David Allen, and Den-
nis Fackler (plus 1 gold and 1
arrow). Richard Sloan
received his Bear award and
George Walters received his
Bear gold arrow, Jackie Mar-
tin and Terry Kreider received
their wolf awards.
Den Mothers and assistants
who received their one-year
pins were Mrs. Myrtle Norn-
hold, Mrs. Dorothy Fontana,
Ruth Brandt, Mrs. Bruce
Brown and Mrs. Ralph Rice.
Cubmaster Ralph Rice was
presented with a gift in appre-
silver
‘ ciation for his successful year’s
work by Bruce Brown, chair-
man of the Cub committee.
Six Cubs are scheduled to
leave the Packs to join the Boy
Scouts in April. They are Tom
Meckley, David Allen, Glenn
| Wittle, Wiliam Wealand and
With the race now in its fin-
al stage, contestants are all
tingle with hopes and ambi-
tions to win first honors, and
now the effort and diligence
shown by each during the past
few days will be crowned by
an avalanche of subscriptions
and accompanying votes that is
sure to bring thousands of fans
to their feet rooting excitingly
for their own particular favorite
Are YOU going to be the one
to finish triumphantly with an
overwhelming number of votes,
or are you going to be self-sa-
tisfied at this stage of the game
and see the efforts of these
many strenuous weeks go to
waste and the choicest awards
of this contest wrestled from
your grasp by some more en-
terprising competitor?
Throughout all history, peo-
ple possessing that faculty of
sensing opportunity when they
see it—and grasping it at the
right moment—seem to acquire
the best things in life while
those undecided and afraid,
stand back and talk about
what they might have done.
The saddest words of tongue
and pen, to quote a classic, are,
“it might have been.”
Determination to win, coup-
led with relentless activity dur-
ing the short remaining time,
can make any one of the vari-
ous leaders a major prize win-
ner, but to relax now is suicid-
al to success.
What is to be done MUST be
done NOW. He who hesitates is
lost. To temporize simply
means letting some rival forge
ahead and ride away in the car
that could have been yours.
The end is but a few hours
away but if you can trust your
own judgent as to your com-
petitors—based on facts and
observation—there is time yet
to stem the tide of defeat and
turn it into sweeping victory.
