Cub Scouts Enjoy
Excursion to Curry
On July 16 thirty Palmer Cub
Scouts and eight mothers enjoy
ed an excursion by train to
Curry. This was, for more than
half of the Cubs, their first ride
on a train. The group left Wasil
la at 10:10 a.m., arriving at their
destination just before 1:00 p.m.
It appeared for a short while
as though their excursion was
going o be a damp one. A driz
zling rain made the prospects ap
pear dim and officials at Curry
opened the recreation hall for
the group. However, immediately
after eating lunch the sun came
out and stayed out until just
after the group boarded the train
for their trip home.
The afternoon was spent in a
side trip into the hills, followed
by another snack.
Cub Scout officials hope to
make a train trip an annual
event for the boys. Sometime
during the month of August the
fathers of Cub Scouts will take
the boys on a trip, possibly for
over night.
Mothers making the trip to
Curry were: Mrs. H. P. Gaza way,
Mrs. Ed Smith, Mrs. Bertren Cur
ry, Mrs. Virgil Eckert, Mrs. Jack
Maze, Mrs. Paul Martin, Mrs.
Frye, and Mrs. Lundin.
