The copper era and Morenci leader., 1917-11-02
To The Boy Scouts of Morenci:

Judging rom newspaper reports that have come to my attention the Boy Scouts of America did excellent work in the Second Liberty Loan campaign which just closed.
 And the part that the "liberty Boys of Morenci" played in this i'm portant campaign was a notable one and | take this occasion to congratu- late them on their showing. Ameri- ca is a richer nation as a result of their work not merely in material resources, but in spiritual power.

 Sounding a clear and distinct note Of true patriotism and by concrete example scathingly denouncing "pik- CT patriots who talk about the giories of American history but re- fuse to buy war bonds, the enthusias- tic members of the Boy Scouts Of Morenci sold more than eleven thous- and dollars worth of bonds in the second Liberty loan campaign, ac- cording to figures issued yesterday by R. B. Lewis, scoutsmaster.
 The exact amount of Liberty bonds sold by the Morenci scouts was 107 for a cash total of s11,750. One of the outstanding features of the Mo reuci campaign" was the excellent work done by Leslie McDougall, son of R. NJ McDougall, of the Phelps Dodge Corporation.
 Young McDougan, who is only six teen years old and junior in high school. succeeded in disposing of seventy four bonds for total of SS,750. In the first campaign Les lie sold thirteen bonds for $21OO. As a result of his efforts the lad has been presented with bronze medal by the United States Treaury department for war service.
 Glenn Roscoe, the patrol leader or the Morenci scouts, was also decid- edIy successful in selling bonds. He sold thirteen bonds-apparently Iuckv number in Arizona-for $SoO, thereby also winning bronze medal. Glenn, who is seventeen years aid ana a senior in high school, only joined the scouts last May.
 Other scouts, who did excellent work and who deserve special men, ton, are George Clark, $12OO;. lien ry Clark. $500; Charles Tonk1n, S10O: William Mccormick, S20o, ana Jack Cavanaugh, $50.
 Organized among the boys or the Sunday school class of the Rev. A. Krichbaum, former pastor of Morenc1 in the year 1915, the Boy Scouts or Morenci have grown in number oe- suite many obstacles, until they now have an enrolment of thirty-five mem bers.
 Of this number seventeen youths are regular scouts. A great deal of credit is due to Rev. Krichbaum for his part in the organization ot the Morenci scouts, for he helped them in many ways, buying suits and drilling them in the scout laws Only six boys formed the first scout troop.
 During the summer of 1916, under the direction of J. N. Christman, now at Camp Funston in Kansas, the Boy Scouts took up first aid work with remarkable results. After months of strenuous drilling the scouts passed examinations in this work for an average of 95 per cent one of the highest averages in the history of the Boy Scout movement.
 R: B. Lewis is the Scoutmaster of Morenci organization at the pres ent: He deserves much praise for the creditable manner in which his Scouts sold Liberty Bonds. There is every reason to believe that Kaiser William will hate Scoutsmaster Lew is and his loyal little patriots" for the rest of his natural life! Let us homo
