TWENTY-ONE BONDS
A grand bunch are the Cochituate high schoolers. They, who ride to school on the bus with Bill Mor- risey, made up a sum equal to TWO bonds for this issue.
One bond, in memory of Donald Wing, who died in a Jap prison camp on May 12, 1942, has been given by Mrs. William Henry, his mother, of E. Commonwealth Rd.
A bond given by Mrs. Walter Wells, in memory of her husband. Mr. Wells was an ardent worker for the interest of the service people. He spent many hours collecting money and helping with the Christ- mas Box Fund, thereby making it possible for the servicemen and women of Cochituate to get a
Christmas box.
Warren D. Valentine donated a bond. You all remember Vallie !
The women of the Legion Auxili- ary, always thinking of the welfare of the World War II homefolks, have added another bond, which
makes the EIGHTH they have turned in.
TWO bonds from Mr. and Mrs. Jack Larkin, of the "Red Coach Grill" noted for its famous steaks.

FOUR bonds from Arthur J. Fleming, proprietor of "The Nip," just across the street from Hotel Statler, Boston.
A bond is donated by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Marston.

Mrs. Jacob Warsky working in her neighborhood in the northern end of our community secured enough in her collections to warrant THREE bonds. Here is the list of names (Continued on Page 5)

Some thirty or more Scouts and Scouters from Cochituate attended the annual business meeting and banquet of Algonquin Council in the Memorial Building at Framingham last Wednesday evening, and found there food for the mind as well as the body; enjoying to the full both the excellent fare of the feast, and the brilliant address of Dr. Elbert K. Fretwell, Chief Scout Executive, speaker of the evening.
Lewis H. Rabbitt, Council Presi- dent, welcomed the guests who were seated at the long tables extending the length of the hall, and intro- duced as the toastmaster, Vice Pres- ident Francis W.

Fullick, whose devotion to the Cochituate Troop and to Scouting in general was recognized when the ribbon of this award, from which was suspended the silver beaver, was strung about his neck in the presence of all those who had previously attained this honor.
The address of the evening by Dr. Fretwell, deeply interesting, witty, and forceful, was based directly on the Scout Oath and Law. With a wealth of illustrative stories and in- cidents he stressed the great value of the Scout training of heads and hands and character as abundantly proved by the after lives of many who had enjoyed it.

Recently promoted to major, Ralph M. Bent, former captain in the Air Corps and depot supply officer, and commanding officer until retirement, is now on terminal leave and returns to civilian status Mar. 9.
Major Bent was assigned to a Syracuse, N. Y. installation almost at the time of its inception as assist- ant depot supply officer when the in- stallation was known as the 6th Army Air Force Storage Depot in 1942, and within a short time was made depot supply officer.
