RALLY WILDE

Boys Are Securing Equipment
So They Will Present
Neat Appearance

Next week, boys, instead of read
ing about the coming Scout Rally
and Demonstration, you'll be out
there pulling her off. That is, un-
less the weatherman acts up; and
it is said by one of the "old inhabit-
ants" that we can count on pretty
good weather during the period our
Rally comes off.
Each Boy Scout should constitute
himself an advertising medium dur
ing the coming week and should talk
the Rally to every one he knows and
comes in contact with. Remember
it is for the benefit of the general
public that this demonstration is be-
ing given and we want an excellent
representation of the public at Is
land Park, IL it is at all possible tC
get them there during these strenu-
Gus war times. 1t is highly impor-
tant that each boy do his bit to-
wards the publicity end of the stunt

at least two spectators. and with

Days ON the Open Road

hull of an old canal boat decaying
under the ravages of weather and
time. The rotting timbers are q relic
of the days when the gallant Lafay-
cite travelled over the waterway on
his visit to the nation which he had
so valiantly fought to build. Along
another road we find mile stones
with half obliterated figures, They
were set up in the days of the stage
coach and Conestoga wagon when
the road was part of the great high
way to the golden land of promise,
the Ohio Valley and the West.
You have been thrilled by tales of
the lumber camps of Canada and
| northern Michigan. Buzzing saws,
rough timber bunk-houses, knee
length wooden hose, brightly colored
Mackinaw shirts, deeds of daring.
strong men and winsome maidens
are the properties and settings used
by writer's and stage directors to ap-
peal to your love of the picturesque
and to your imagination. All these
can be found in the hundreds of lum-
ber camps in Pennsylvania and q
hike to the camp will be worth the
while of any who care to travel along
the narrow gauge road that marks
, the way. The sight of the great
kettles hanging over the open fire,
| the odor of the cooking dinner, and
the oilcloth- covered table Hospitality
laden with the best the back woods
affords will more than repay one

The traveller who goes from one
side of the continent to the other in
the comfortable depths of his easy
chair misses some of the best that
America has to offer. Hiking brings
one into contact with the people, the
scenery and the life that lies miles
| back of the railroad. The flavory
! country dinner, the cool shady lane,
! the beauty of breaking day, the
! flight of the scarlet tanager across

the signing of the pine when the
wind is in its branches, the lowing
! of the herd: all these are the re-
ward for him who answers the call
of nature and the call of the open
road. For him the robin sings his
CHEEKY morning song. For him is the
| beauty of the bluebird's coat. For
| him the western sky glows red and
! gold at sunset. For him the thrush
pours out his rich melody at the

THREE-DAY HIKE
BEING PLANNED
South Mountain Objective of
Troop Is; to Study
Woodcraft

A three days hike into the South
Mountains is planned by the men,
bers of Troop Is, lately organized
at the Sixth Street United Brethren
Church, Sixth and Seneca streets.
The troop will assemble at their
headquarters on Friday evening at
z o'clock sharp, and march to Mar
ket Square, where they will board q
car for Mechanicsburg. Upon reach
ing Mechanicsburg they will, after
short visit to Troop 1, of Me-
chanicsburg, hit the road for an
eight-mile. hike to a cabtin in the
South Mountains in the vicinity of
DillsbuPg.
After spending the night at the
cabin they will go for an all-day
hike into the mountains where they
will practice the arts of woodcraft
necessary for the second class scout
ing rank. A few of the points of in
terest which they will visit are Bea-
yer Valley ore mines, Rocky Glen,
White, Rock, Indian Peg and Black
Rock.
Troop 10 is one of the youngest,
If not the youngest, troop of Scouts
in the city, it being organized the
early part of July. It's membership
consists of twenty-five boys, all of
whom, with the exception of three,
have passed the tenderfoot tests.
The officers of the troop are: Roy
j. Shenk, scoutmaster; Walter Me-

er; Lawrence Simons, assistant
leader.
Bob White patrol: Harold Smed-

SCOUTING NOTES

All Boy Scouts are urged to see
that their uniforms and equiment
are in good condition for the scout
rally next Friday. When demon
strating scoutcraft to the public it
should always be the aim of all
troops to present a neat, attractive
appearance. On some occasions
scouts have been criticised for ap-
pearing slouchy. Every effort should
be made on this. our first big Rally
Day, to appear in spic and span
condition.
Scouting means more than just
belonging" to an organization. The
boy who undertakes to become a
scout must continually work to
achieve higher standards and re-
suits. The obligation to do good
turn daily" is not one to be lightly
overlooked, and when cheerfully
and conscientiously carried out
brings rewards in the future by in
stilling those principles of service
upon which nearly all modern busi-
ness enterprises are founded.
The practical knowledge gained
from his scoutcraft enables the boy
to react to physical opportunities as
they may open before him in his
life's pathway and makes him,
thus, q more efficient citizen.
1t is unfortunate that some boys
cannot always realize that their OBJ
legations amount to something more
than words. The case of n troop in
which six boys recently disobeyed
the instructions of their scoutmas-
ter ought never to be duplicated in
Harrisburg scouting. That the boys
were suspended from the organiza-
ton until the first of the year, and
therefore deprived of the privilege
of entering the big rally is of minor
importance. Discipline, of course,
must be maintained, but scouting
must be carried to a plane where
every member will appreciate his
personal relation to the whole move
ment and will accept his full obli-
cations in the spirit as well as the
letter of the law and act on them
accordingly.
Scoutmasters will be glad to know
that, more and more, national head
quarters is reaching out into the
field for practical suggestions from
individual scoutmasters. 1t should
mean much to the future of the
scout program, for the men in the
field are the ones who really are up
against concrete scouting problems,
and generally speaking they have
their answers we'll worked out.

being fully engaged in preparing for
our Scout Rally and other future
events. We are just about to launch
a campaign to increase the number
of Scouts in our troop, as we feel
that the many boys of Scout age loaf
ing around the street corners and
moving picture houses, could spend
more profitable and instructive even
ings in the meetings of the B. S. of
A. We believe that after the boys
begin to see the difference between
the educational advantages of the
Boy Scouts and those of the street
loafers or even other boys organiza-
tions, there will be general rush for
the places when vacancies occur in
the troops. We invite the parents of
boys to look into the Boy Scout
movement and urge them to cooper
ate in interesting their boys in our
work. We have our troubles, of
course, but we have a great future
for no asset of city is so great as
that of splendid manhood and the
boys of to-day are the men of to
morrow.

SCOUTSCARRY
HEAVY KITS
Take Hike With Full Equip
ment, and Sleep Under
the Stars

On Saturday evening, September
2S, at o'clock, about twenty of the
boys of Troop No. 12, of Memorial
Lutheran Church, started on an over
night hike. The troop loaded with
heavy coats, sweaters, blankets,
cooking utensils and other para
phenalia, landed at Rockville about
8 o'clock. 1t was bright, clear even
ing and not so very cold. We made
our way into the mountains and To-
Gated at a suitable place for camp
ing. The ground was cleared of rocks,
wood was gathered and we soon had
roaring blaze which lighted the
whole mountainside right in the mid
die of our temporary camp.
After sitting around the fire for q
while, the sandman" began to creep
into the eyes of some of the Scouts
and they began rolling themselves in
blankets preparing for genuine
sleep in the starlight which beam
ed through the leaves of the trees.
Soon others followed until all were
enjoying I?) the pleasures of a
peaceful rest. About 2 o'clock some
of our beds began to get unusually
solid, the atmosphere became solder
and the uncomfortable few CD soon
had the whole camp in an uproar. In
about an hour, however, the fires
were rebuilt, everybody was warm
and soon all were we'll advanced into
the heart of Sunderland only to be
again aroused in the early morn by
the extremely rare atmosphere.
Breakfast Chascs Frost
No more sleep was to be had
around a bunch of Scouts, as usual
in a Scout camp, be it temporary or
| permanent, some operation must be
going on all the time and, as every
| one seemed hungry, it was not long
until about n dozen fires were in full
blaze and the aroma of ham, eggs,
| potatoes and other vegetables, made
all forget that Jack Frost had been
Sc near at hand n few minutes be-
fore. After breakfast, at which every
one ate heartily, we explored the
mountains and prepared to return
home Every one was happy and ap-
parently enjoyed the occasion-so
much so perhaps, that a few of the
| boys refused to come along home,
thus earning for themselves several
months suspension from the troop,
with loss of their various offices in
the troop. BY o'clock the rest OF
us were home again, and, with the
exception of being q little tired and
sleepy, were all the better for having
