 Assistant Scout Master Samuel Burns is busy preparing the card catalogue of the Scouts of the city. Hereafter it will be possible to tell the exact number of Tenderfoot, Sec ond Class and First Class Scouts. and the system of buying badges through local headquarters will make 1t pos- sible to keep the records up to date. That the new arrangement of hav- ing all scouts buy their badges and certain other supplies from the cen- tral office in the Y. M c. A., is prov ing popular is evidenced by the fact that already some of the supplies are exhausted and it has been necessary to order new supply.
 The following men have become members of the local council in addi- tion to the men re-enrolled for last last year: T. Eben Reeks, Walter H. Hart, c. F. Bennett, H. c. Blakeslee F. H. Afford, John O. Mills, c. F. Smith, J. w. Marsland, George P. Hart, J. E. Cooper, Philip Corbin, A. F. Corbin, A. H. Andrews w. T. SlOper, Peter Crona, George w. Traut M. s. Hart, A. s.

Last Friday, nine members of Troop Nine hiked to the copper mines at the southern end of Shuttle Meadow. The Scouts started at S:3O ] in the morning and made the trip out | by way of the Plainville reservoir. The high temperature made the hike a good endurance test but none of the l mixers faltered. Scout w. V. Winel l of Troop lightweight, Philadelphia, l who was present on the walk, showed 1 considerable enthusiasm over the ways
 of the local Scouts as well as over the attractions of Connecticut scenery. The success of the first hike of the season has induced Assistant Scout 1 Master Burns to announce that the
 troop will take one every week.
 At a meeting held Thursday eve-
 ming Scout Master Horwitz of Troop Ten appointed the following to act
 as patrol leaders and assistants: Leaders-Maurice Goldstien. Harry
 Jaffe, Sydney Miller, Irving Richman Assistants-Harry Schupack, Thom-

vice. first to the Master of Life,
then to those who loved him best,
his devoted wife and children.
Trulv of him it may be written
"He loved his fellOW-man." " When
the end of life drew nigh, as
ouietly as he had lived, he pre-
Dared tomeet his Maker, seeming
to know that the time Of his de-
Darture was close at hand, and
though he appeared to enjoy
his usual good health, he sat up
on the night before his death un-
ill 100 O'Clock, read his bible
and sang his favOrite songs.
On the next morning while at
tending to his duties about the
farm. he suffered an attack of
heart failure, and as quietly as
he had lived, passed to the River
of life: he was found at the barn
where he had been discovered by
A faithful dog, and the dog by its
conduct had attracted his wife's
attention, and carried her to his
master where she arrived just as
he was falling into the last long
sleep, the sleep that knows no
waking until the judgment morn.
May the Father of all pour His
healing oil into the wounded,
bleeding hearts of those dear
ones who are left to mourn, that
they may rest with the comfort
ing assurance that their loyedsone
