wise to use the goods weighing niachine and thus he verified his‘ declared weight of 16 stone, which was more than the com- bmed weight of the two mere bkby members.

The Scouts were not quite so worn out as on Friday but [appetites were hearty, in consequence a hefty meal of minced bdef, onions, potatoes, carrots anld milk pudding was quickly mkde and disposed of. Some Bradford Scouts camping close by, joined Toe H for a camp fire whicn ended with a short Scouts Own with special remem­ brance of taster. .
