Asvtng the financial condition Of the Boy
Scout organization Is the direct result Of
an incident which occurred during his
vacation last summer which has caused
the Boy Scout movement. Accompanied
by Mrs Chase and a well known banker
and his wife. Mr.. Chase motored from
his home In Ohio to Columbus. a distance
Of about forty-flve miles. The two ladies
were left In the automobile while Mr.
Chase and TIE banker went into an of
fee building to transact some business
While there II suddenly began to rain
heavily. Remembering that the top of
the automobile was down, Mr.. Chase and
the banker rushed to the street.
Scouts Precede Them.
When they reached the pavement they
found two young boys busily engaged in
fastening the straps OF the automobile
top. which they had raised Just in time
to prevent Mrs Chase and her friend
from getting drenched with rain. Mr.
Chase thanked the boys for what they
had done. and. reaching in his pocket,
produced a quarter. which he extend ed
to them
Much to his surprise the boys refused
to take the money
We are Boy Scouts. SIR and by the
rules OF our organization can not accept
payment for what we have DONE" said
one OF the boys. I'VE are taught we must
perform at least one good deed each day
and In putting up the auto top we pre-
vented the ladies from getting wet and
therefore. performed a good deed. A Boy
Scout can not accept payment for good
deeds. for we believe that they are our
duty"
The two Scouts bowed courteously and
hurried for shelter under an awning some
distance up the street.
