AND TUB PeeSlDENT is...
as your "party" leads a march around
the room. (Sample: "Parker, Parker, he's
our man/If he can't do it, nobody can!")
Have a campaign song, too, for the
march. Ask the boys to help write one
for your candidate and set it to a lively
tune such as "If You're Happy" or
"Yankee Doodle" (Cub Scout Song-
book). Or learn one of the traditional
campaign songs, such as "Happy Days
Are Here Again."
The den should elect one if its
members to give the campaign speech
at the pack meeting. Have them suggest
reasons why your candidate should be
elected. When you have five or six
reasons (both serious and comic), put
them together in a one-page speech.
FIRST AID FOR BEGINNERS. Before
having the boys practice simple first
aid, review with them the Protection
achievement in the Bear Cub Scout
Book. Practice rescuing a person whose
clothing is afire and talk about what to
do if a person is hurt in a fall and what
to do if their home catches fire.
Then cover these first aid measures.
• How to get help fast by telephone.
• How to stop bleeding by putting
pressure on the wound with a clean
cloth. Show how to make a bandage to
hold the cloth in place.
• How to treat small cuts and scratches
by washing with soap and water and
covering with an adhesive bandage.
• How to give first aid for a small burn
by putting ice on it or running cold
water over it.
• How to treat a large burn by covering
it with a clean bandage, gauze or other
cloth and then getting help quickly.
• How to treat a nosebleed by sitting
quietly, squeezing the nostrils for five
or ten minutes, and tilting the head
backward.
APPLE JACK O'-LANTERN. For some
den fun, have the boys try to carve
jack-o'-lanterns from large apples with
jackknives. If a boy is not satisfied with
the result, he can eat it.
DEN GAMES. HUNT THE HAZARD.
Prepare for this game by setting up
some obvious hazards in one or two
rooms. Look in the Home and Traffic
Safety achievement in the Wolf Cub
Scout Book for ideas—toys littering the
floor, poisons within easy reach, boxes
on stairways, matches lying about, can
labeled "gasoline" near a stove, etc. The
boys try to find as many hazards as they
can. Winner is the one with the longest
list. As a followup, suggest that the boys
inspect their own homes and report
next week on what they found and

what they and their parents did about
the hazards.
PACK MEETING

and bunting in the meeting place and

"get-out-the-vote" posters. Have an-

At the entrance, have a "voter regis-

Preopening—Ask arriving Cub Scouts
and their parents and brothers and
sisters to sign your voter registration
sheet. All Cub Scouts place their pos-
ters in the display area for parents to
look at it. Boys who are in the "political
party" dens set out their banners and
