Writers Staging a Cub Scout Circus can be a gargantuan fun rally and a gigantic pain in the neck at the same time. All you have in your favor is a mammouth amount of en thusiam - boys gushing excite ment at every turn you make; at the ends of flag poles, make-up kits, costume crates - up one side and down the other. Entanglement is synony mous with every movement the rockling youngsters make. A threat to throw the towel into the bucket and abandon the fun frolic is a bad presen tation of taunt nerves because you are fully aware that too much has gone into the outlay of preparations to "turn back now." So, back tracking won't solve or quell the problem of spirit of the happy, helpful, hollering boys. Experience has taught you that "a stitch in time saves nine," therefore, you haul out ail the props of producing a scenic backdrop for a Cheyenne Leaf Indian Circus. Whistling while you work speeds up the production of a coloramic spectacular you have in mind for Pack Ill's Indian dancers, hence, the gathering clouds and distant rumbles of thunder have no effect on your "color struck" senses until a Cub Scout queries you about what happens if it rains. "If it rains, youH shiver back and laughed up toward the beaming sun. "We can do out Rain Dance inside Bucky's house but where will we parade?" "Grandpa, we aren't going to get any rain before mid night.". "But it's going to rain to day!" The boy persisted. "You get out of this sun - ■FGWAPANB 3 BIG DAYS! BUY YOUR FAMILY NEEDS ROW!

"Scram, fellow!" "If it rains, we can go to the church's basement - can't we?" Black clouds underlining the son blurts the Circus area and you scrutinize the over head for the first time. "Rain!" You exclaim incredu lously. However, your spirit of good will remains unscathed and the business of getting the job finished continues as usual: attention to every de tail. The boys are gathering too soon but you don't let this trouble your mind; "Bette to have the braves on hand too soon than only a chief at starting time." This sagely ad vise brin|p relief to you mud dled brain. Hie sun, you re call, dehydrates your body much faster than it does most Afro-Americans - the idea is whacky, but you have lived with it too long to let go now. While you stand admiring your astounding handiwork, a streak of lightening darts across the sky, followed by a booming roll of thunder, then came the rain. At first a few scattering drops, warn and spattering. Your heart sinks deeply into the pangs of dis appointment. In gleeful delight, the boys all find shelter. You are too stunned to move. The feeling of dejection that sweeps you stems from the thought of having to postpone the blanke ty -blank Circus. Working against great odds is a way of life with you; picking up the broken pieces of crushed hopes has become a sort of badge of prestige, therefore, you have no anger to abate not discouragement to assuage. Only dejection, at the mo ment, to wrestle with. A clap of thunder and lightening shakes you out of your stupor and you run like a rabbit to escape being drenched by the pouring rain. Inside the home of the Pratts, your dejection is re placed by fear - here, you have ten squirmming cubs to hold in restraint. Lamps, vases, water glasses, uphol stery, furniture legs are all in danger of being broken, scuffed, stained, torn or spat tered. Hiere is no time to think of your circus decorations of crepe paper being drenched and torn into shreds - you have a house to save from a razing. T{ie question of "where do we go from here" was asked so often that a buzzing head ache set in. Dividing my thoughts between "where we go t from here," and praying that the Pratts would not be terrible angry when they re turned home and discovered a Cubmaster and 10 Cubs tak ing over their abode, the time dragged itself out. The Pratts are real nice folk; they thoroughly under stood our situation and to ap pease the wrong the gods had wrought us, they turned on the television for our entertain ment.

And so, you make an attempt to retrieve your fallen spirit. The dripping de coration gives you a sudden relapse - but, the boys' en thusiam skyrockets once more and your ears ring with the question, "Is we going to have the Circus?" "Yep! The show will go on." At this point an Aquarian friend speaks up, a sort of voice of doom; "I'd wait another hour or more before putting up anymore decora tions. These summer rain clouds are tricky." Once more your ears are hearing a warning and, this time you're listening. Back to the television set you go. At 5:30, the Pratt's, mama 'n papa, follow you to the Circus ground-and to gether, we redecorate the whole place. By 6:15 every thing was in readiness, except the boys who were tripping over one another trying to turn into Cheyenne Leaf In dians; nevertheless, they were ready before the speed regula tor was set for the march music. The parade wasn't a mile long but it carried with it all splendor that parades should have.
