The question of why some of us are such confirmed “bird lov- ers” was partially answered by the pictures of a variety of birds of beautiful plumage. Ist Beverley Acres Mr. Lumsden told us that on one occasion. a “bird flight” was photographed through a telescope and by knowing the power of the telescope and the size of the kind of bird in question, it was calcu- lated that the flight was being made at the amazing altitude of 28,000 feet: no pressurized cab- ins or' special oxygen helmets needed by these feathered aviat- ors! On Saturday, January 17, de- spite the cold windy day, 12 mem- bers of the club were out to ex- plore “Glendon Hall." Although there weren’t too many birds about, still a stimulating time was had by all, and, getting acquaint- ed with this fine area ensures a “good spot" for future more fav‘- ourable hikes.

It was organized by Mrs. Teresa Smith. the social convenor. and a committee con- sisting of Mrs. Peggy O'Toole, Mrs. Brenda Hanna and Mrs. Bita Gallienne.

Five scouts who had come up through the cub packs are working very hard on their tenderfoot requirements, so they will be eligible to attend the leaping wolf ceremony later on {his year.

These lads were only told that on Saturday, January 24th at 6:15 pm. they were to be in uniform, and ready at their home to be chauffeured to a destination unknown.

It was at this point that Scout Ken Upton made known that this would be his first ride in a subway. .As we headed south there were a number of guesses about our final destination. But when the boys emerged from the subway at College Street, it was quite clear that we were going to see the Toronto Maple Leafs take on the Boston Bruins at Maple Leaf Gardens. The game was en- joyed by the boys very much, considering the fact that their home team was defeated 3 to 1. After the game was over there was another surprise in store for the two cubs and one scout who were the top salesman from each pack and the troop. Accompanied by Group Chairman Owen Grant and Scout Master Norm Foster. Scout Robin Derrick, Cubs Doug Fraser and Bill Grant were ush- ered into the press room which adjoins the Leafs’ dressing room. It was here that the boys were introduced to Leaf Captain George Armstrong, who presented each cub and scout with a hockey stick, autographed by the Leaf Hockey team. As they were leav- ing the press room they met Dick Duff, who scored the only leaf goal of the night. From here they proceeded to the lounge where the Scout Master took several snapshots of the entire group for the troop log book. Mrs. Hilda Murphy who works the refresh- ment booth in the main lounge. was almost run ragged supplying the lads with glasses of water to quench their insatiable thirst. During the trip back home, some of the group asked the motorman of the subway train everything they could think of, from the weight of the cars to the speed we were travelling. Group treas- urer Marsh Amos remarked how well the boys had behaved. which points out their good training. The Douglas Hood family is happy to have Marion and her family here on a visit.
