Troop No. 1 Of Henry Clay has re
ceived its second severe blow In this
its first year. The first shock came
through the death of Scout William
Thompson by blood poisoning. The
second occurred last week when the
horrible explosion in the packing
house of the powder yard carried
away so many friends and relatives
as well as Scout Elmer Cumpston.
Cumpston, was a charter member Of
the troop and the bugler. His brav-
cry and steadiness dispelled any ex-
pectations of such sanguinary death.
His remains were inferred in the Sill
verbrook cemetery on December 3.
Scouts Andrews. Gallagher, Mace and
Coucill of Troop No. / acted as pail
bearers. while the members of the
Ha-Co-Ho Camp Fire Girls and Troop
/ No. IL were in attendance. The troop
extends the heartfelt sympathy to
Mrs. Cumpston and also to Scout
Mace who lost his father in the same
explosion.
At the last meeting OF Troop No.
26 twenty-one members were present.
/ The boys are trying to find some
means to make money for the troop.
Several suggestions were offered but
no action was taken. Next Friday
each boy is expected to offer some
kind of amusement after the meeting.
Every body must wear his uniform at
the next meeting as special drills will
be gone through.
FRED w. GRADWOHL, Scribe.
The three months contest in Troop
! No. just ended. has been won by Pa
troll Leader Thomas Schultz with a
score Of $40. This is one of the best
scores ever made i'm the troop and in.
cludes points for proficiency in a va.
riety of Scout activities. In the three
months Schultz has not a single minus
point charged against MIN. In fact, IL
is doubtful il he has ever had points
deducted during his FIVE years service
as Scout. His membership has been
n very beneficial one for the troop

and a great encouragement to his
Scout Master. Patrol Leader Paul
Ward was a close second with 507
points to his credit. His skill in both
signaling codes contributed material
ly to his score. He has recently set
up new semaphore record, taking for
two minutes at a rate of sc words
per minute. breaking his previous best
record of so letters per minute. The
inter-patrol contest for November was
won by the Blue Tortoise Patrol. The
Individual Contest for the next three
months is expected to be an especial
ly interesting one, prizes having been
offered for the best scores made by
tenderfoot and by Second Glass Scouts
as well as the regular prize offered
for the best record in the troop.
Troop No. held its regularly week
" meeting last Saturday afternoon.
Dues were collected and several
announcements we're made of interest
