EDMO NEWLOVE,
Troop Scribe.
The New Castle Troop is certainly
doing some husiling and Mr.. Rossell
is to be congratulated on the show
ing his scouts are making. A field
DAY there would be a good stunt"
and there is no doubt that a large
delegation from the other Troops
would take part.
Troop had the honor Of being in
spected by the newly appointed range
officer of the Scout Masters Associa-
ton, on last Thursday evening After
Mr.. Samworth had looked the boys
over, he gave them a very interesting
talk on rife shooting and explained
some Of the first principles. He
pointed out that to be a success in
this sport, the first requisite was
clean and sound living All Of tho
crack shots Of this country are men
who use neither tobacco nor alcohol
and who take the best care of their
health. The boy who smokes cigar
cites has very little chance of ex-
ceiling as a marksman as the nerves
must be absolutely steady to make
good showing.
Practice on the range started yes
terday and will continue for several
afternoons each week under the
direction of Mr. Samworth.
