brought the flag to the front OF the
room. This has become a customary
opening of the meeting Many busi-
ness matters were taken up and acted
on. Scout White suggested a plan to
the boys and It was adopted. This plan
was that oy the boys selling Hershey's
Chewing Gum the troop could easily
bring up the treasure of the troop and
that we could buy a bass drum and
a few more flies to complete the mu-
sical end OF the troop. Mr.. Bicking
told the fellows of the new scout mot
to, Every Scout feed a soldier and
explained to us what II meant. He
told each hoy to do his little bit to
help his country in this time of such
a necessity of food. One OF the boys
suggested another plan which proved
very favorable concerning the garden
question. Some Of you fellows are
going to open your eyes when this
plan is unveiled.
