ROTARY CLUB TO ORGANIZE TROOP
 OF BOY SCOUTS
Rotarians Also Plan to Aid for Guards, Charity Ball
 and Other Work.

The Rotary club Pine Bluff under took enough work yesterday for Pine Bluff and Pine Bluff institutions to keep the Rotarians busily engaged for some time.
 Probably the work of the widest in- terest, especially among boys and those interested in boys, was the de- cision to take up the organization and maintenance of a troop of Boy Scouts, and the announcement that j charter for such an organization had been applied for. Sol Klarberg, who has been the leading spirit among Rotarians in the movement for a troop of Scouts in Pine Bluff, was recom- mended for scout amster, and the fol- lowing Rotarians were named a com mittee to work with MT. Klarberg: D. Stanley Dreyfus, H. Kemp Toney, Dr.. J. l. Norris, Maj. w. J. Parkes, A. D. Foster, Capt. Jeff Hicks, and Dr. Wm. Breathwitt.
 At the suggestion of Harold B.. Bluthenthal, who is captain of the Jefferson Home guards Mitchell Sel- ligman, George w. List, Hunter H. Knox, Felix C.. Smart and Richard M. Knox were named as a committee to and the guards organization in obtain ing uniforms and guns. The expla- nation was made by Rotarians Blu thenthal and List that the members of the guards are actuated simply by desire to be of service to the com munity in event of emergency; that they have incurred the expense of uni- forming themselves in khaki, which they are now unable to use because the regulations under the militia re- serve proclamation provide they shall be uniformed in gray. The guards have been unable to secure guns from the federal or state governments, and are not in positions to incur this ex- pense as an organization or individu- als. The Rotary committee will en. deavor to provide "ways and means'' for properly uniforming and arning the guards.
 Another event projected by the Ro- tary club is charity ball." Arrange ments for this were placed in charge of Sol K1arberg, A. D. Foster and w. L. Toney. The plan is to arrange something novel in the way of ball the proceeds to be used in carrying on community work, expense of which is beginning to prove heavy tax on the 51 members of the Rotary club.

Breathwitt were named to extend an invitation to the members of the National Editorial association to visit Pine Bluff, when the associa. tion holds it's meeting at Hot Springs and Little Rock next June.
