on Sunday afternoon, July 4 at 4
O'Clock in st. Andrews Episcopal
Church. Bishop Frederick j. kips-

Kinsman is intensely interested in

The Scouts Of Wilmington are to
have an important part in the Ameri-
canization day program to be held on
Monday. July 5. This will be a Won
derful opportunity to show real
interest in our foreign speaking
neighbors. Some Scouts forget about
their Scout law when it comes to be
friendly to all people. The Scouts
are asked to make themselves use
full at the exercises to be held at
Washington Heights that evening from
Z 10 IL o'clock The hospital corps
of the different troops is asked TO
bring their equipment with them on
that occasion. The details from the
troops are requested to report at
Eleventh and Market streets at $50
o'clock that evening and march out
to the heights in a body. Let us
have a good turn out, as we general
ly do.
Might it be suggested that every
Scout see that national colors are
displayed at his home on the Fourth
of July? Every Scout ought TO have
an American flag. Suggest to your
neighbors TO get out their flag. Scouts
can do a great deal in encouraging
she display of the flag
A detail of Scouts is going to
give an exhibition of Scout work at
Elan, Pa. on Saturday evening. July
