that march they covered the same

BOYS /
 BECOME SCOUTS

Eight of the boys who have beer training to become Boy Scouts for the last few months, have sue. cessfully passed. the examinations and have been admitted to mem. bership in the national organization Their certificates of membership were received by scoutmaster, F. E Wells, this week and will be given to the boys Thursday night upon their taking the scout oath, which reads as follows:
 "On my honor I will do my best;
 ''1. To do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the scout law:
 s2. To help other people at all times;
 ''3. To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
 These eight boys are only tender foot scouts as yet, but they are already hard at work preparing for the second class scout examination. It will probably take them several months to pass the requirements necessary for this next degree.
 Several other boys are working to pass the Tenderfoot examination. It takes persistence and effort but all of those who have tried it are fully convinced that it is many times worth while.
 Last Saturday the scouts went on their regular campfire hike. They went out to four-mile hill where they camped. An hour was spent in miscellaneous hiking, most of the boys engaging in a search for Arizona diamonds. After this the evening meal composed of roast beef steak, hot sausages, baked potatoes, cakes, cookies, fruit and bread and butter was prepared and served.
 The boys plan on leasing a five acre lot in the forest reserve under the summer residence act, for their regular camping ground. Upon this they propose to erect a log cabin and other improvements.

VOLUNTEERS GREATLY
 IMPROVE THE ROAD

Some twenty-five men showed UT last Sunday for the road improve ment picnic. The pikers with theil various excuses proved a negligible quantity as far as their deterring in any the success of the event. Con. veyances were present in abund- ance and the volunteers were soon distributed along the road from the county line to Williams.
 A number of culverts were put in places where greatly needed, and ruts and chuckholes. were filled. Their work was largely that of put ting the finishing touches to the road, those little touches that are so necessary and that convert a road from a ten mile nightmare to a twenty-five mile highway, with comparatively little labor.
 Along the Ash Fork road, and especially on the part from the ranger station west of Williams, on to Supai hill, ruts, ditches and ehuckholes had developed, during the wet weather, to the extent that it was impossible to travel at mnch more than snail's pace without en- dangering machine and occupants. These the volunteers so effectually removed that autoists who had been over the road before and have been over it since Sunday, ask in amazement, ''What have you done to improve the Ash Fork road so quickly"? Beyond denial the road was remarkably improved for single days work and it is to be hoped that this good thing may be kept going to the decided better ment of all our roads.
