Boy Scouts Given
Delightful Surprise

The local troop Boy Scouts were
given a delightful surprise last
Friday evening by Mr.. David
Major, Newark. The boys met at
the armory for their regular meet
ing, not suspecting anything un
usual. After a few exercises
Robert Major was dispatched down
town, and the other boys acquaint-
ed with the plan. They hastened
to the Major home, and the boy
upon his return found the Armory
deserted. He went to his own
home, and found the jolly crowd
of boys awaiting him. Games and
refreshments were features of the
evening.
The troop is expecting a visi
ton from the state officers this
Friday evening.
