Our whole scout room seemed to be danc- ing with -mirth. .There were cails, of. diWhere's the. scissors ? * or "Pins, please !" or "Ouch!

A spike, or even a long nail or a coin- môn screw, driver, is an invaluable aid to the .skater who is unfortunate enough to crash through the fice, ac- cordingto Ol1ive McCormick, national waterfront advisor for the Girl Scouts. Methods of resicue which have been' recommended for theimembers of the Girl Scouts , are based onaseiso experiments1 which were ý made by Miss M.ýcCorrnick in cooperation witb representativ:es of the American Red cross, thé Boy Scouts of America and the Skate Sailing'Association of Aniericaà. Self rescue, if one-has gonie throughi the ice, is entirely possible ini the majority of'cases, but is usually defeated by unreasoning panic on the part of the viçtim, according to the studies of this group. Such situa- tions ceatl for quiclc, vigorous, and carefully thought out action, 'Miss ,McCormick points out. Girl Scouts are told that the proper procedure upnsudden immersion, is. for the victimn to extend both hands upon the surface of the ice, tô support the body, getting a firm liold by ineans o;f ý spike or nail or similar instrument, before. calling for help. In order to prevent the victimi's' legs f roni comning up forward under the ice. as they would naturally tend to do. the proper procedure, is to crawtl kick, thus planing the body on the surface of the water. This, action wîll also heip to ward off thé chilling effect of the cold water and keep tfe weighit of the lower part of the body supported by the water, thus en- abling the victim to get support for the upper part of the body froni ice whiCh would probably. hot stand the whole %veighft. If help cornes, this planing_ position 'will facilitate the rescuers ini pulling the victini to safety. ..In the case of a self rescue, the Nictirn is advised to crawl forward on théeice until his hins are21 fthe On Davis, fli sic , games. r-b ri o e r e e a u y t O t e R o i o o d p e r fo r mn a n c e s àM th e ,sent, Patsy Symons and Hall played also. ini the preceding rson, the other two be- performance, "Aladdin."'
