BONDE SETS
RECORDS IN WATER
Member of Troop 43 Estab-
fishes High Standard in
Tests of Swimming.

Scout Robert Bonde, of Troop IS, has
set a new standard in swimming, and
is now considered one of the expert
swimmers not only of the boy scouts
hut of the city. While qualifying tor
his first class swimming requirements
recently. he gave an exhibition of swim
ming at the pool Of the y: NJ I. A,
which attracted great attention
First class requirements In swimming
demand ability TO swim fifty yards.
Scoutmaster r y. Filkins. Of Troop 10,
who conducted the December examina-
ton, gave Scout Bonde the Following
test.
He threw into the swimming pool at
its deepest part, a black paddock. about
the size of a silver dollar, gave the Key
to the boy and required him 10 dive Tor
the paddock and come up with II un-
locked. The test was made additlohaI-
ly difficult by the fact that there We're
two key holes in the paddock. only one
of which would admit the key.
The water was about ten feet deep,
and the color OF the paddock rendered
it difficult to see. In spite OF this, now
ever Scout Bonde came to The surface
with the lock unlocked, within the re.
uuired period of ten seconds. AS one OIL
the requirements for the merit pddSe
test in swimming is to bring a hVe-
between seven and ten feet of water,
Scout Bonde easily passed TINS test ior
the merit badge.
Discussion OF the feat OF the young
swimmer gave rise 10 a suggestion from
Scoutmaster Filkins, which proved
rather amusing. The ability of Bonde
was questioned by a man who was ask
ed to place any sum Of money lie wish
ed IN a small, white cotton bag, which
was To be tied as securely as possible
and placed in the swimming pool Scout
master Filkins then offered to have
young BOnde go down into the water:
count the motley accurately, provided
ne wa:s to receive half Of the money.
Tne gentleman refused this offer, and
Scout Bonde remains the unquestioned
champion swimmer OF the Boy Scouts.

ter activities in fine shape. 1t is easily
the largest and most thriving troop of
Boy Scouts in the city. On last Thurs
day evening, December IS. its head

tivity. Sergeant Major Malinka of the
Washington barracks. assistant scout
master of the troop. had charge of the
gymnasium, and he kept things hum
ming. DIR. W. II. Leonard was present
and addressed the boys in the general
assembly hall, and created a marked
impression upon the ea~boys. After the
general address to the boys he divided
the troop in groups of fifteen and lee
tured them on First Aid to the In
jured.' At 'he close of his fine address
each boy received small tube of
tooth paste with instructins in the care
OF the teeth. George NJ Manley con-
Quoted three very interesting classes
on signaling and field work. Many OF
the boys expect to complete their first
class examinations in January. several
Of them having only the subject of sig
