' Last Thursday night the

to be held in the park for the
benefit of their parents and
friends, but on account of the
dampness, this was called off
and the boys met in the Ar-
mory that they now use. How-
ever, they went on with the
stunts but with no visitors. The
Four Patrols ech put on dif-
ferent. stunts, from the strong
man, hypnotists, and other
good stuts to pie-eating con-
test. This was a tie between
Paul Hancock and Ladd Han-
cher. After the fun of the
evening the following promo-
tions were made:
Senior Patrol Leader, Wes-
ton Dickinson was promoted to
rank of Junior Assistant Scout-
master; Patrol Leader H. V.
Reeves was promoted to the
rank of Senior Patrol Leader.
John Menefee promoted from
Assistant Patrol Leader of Pa-
trol No. 2 to Patrol Leader of
