principles of scouting, the cubs, by
the efforts of the leaders, the com-

Main sources of revenue had

Mr. Rivers said the fact that we
had 37 keen cubs was sufficient in-
dication that all those who had
helped in any way, however small,
had done a good job, and that the
work must go on,

A very. pleasant association
beteen the Group Committee and
the Leaders had been continued.’
He extended: his thanks to the
Group Committee members, Lead-
ers, the United: and: “Anglican
Churches far the.use ,of their halls
and to all those, known: and un-
known, who had helped.

Calling for the election of Of-
ficers for the coming year Mr. Riv-
ers said that the present Officers
had served the Group Committee
in. one capacity or another for the
past four years and they were un-
animous in their decision not to
continue in office. He said that
while they were reluctant to adopt
this stand they felt the time had
come for other .parents to take
over their own cub's affairs which
was ‘desirable in all respects. The
outgoing officers . pledged’ support
to the new committee, if one was
elected.

No nominations being made,
a discussion took place on the act-

a result, all those present: offered
to take over as a caretakers com-
mittee, hold a further meeting and
attempt to form a slate of officers
and committee members.
