Scouts was perfected last night at a
meeting held at the Commercial Club
under the direction of City Attorney
Balm and Rush Limbaugh. Nearly 60
boys, ranging from II to II years old,
were initiated into troop two, which
was organized last night.
The boys were full of enthusiasm,
and listened attentively to the encour-
aging remarks made by Balm and Linn
baugh, and Sam Sherman, vice presi-
dent of the Boy Scouts council before
the organization was disbanded several
years ago. The three speakers ex-
planned the purpose of the organiza-
ton and admonished the boys not to
become members unless they had the
interest of the organization at heart
and were willing to follow the orders
of the officers of the organization.
The applications of the boys, who
were accepted last night, will be for
warded to the headquarters of the
Boy Scouts in New York, after they
have been passed upon by council
which will be selected from the par
ents of the new members. Scoutmaster
Balm and Attorney Limbaugh will Sc
lect this council. Mr.. Limbaugh, who
has been deeply interested in the or
ganization of the scouts, will forward
his application for commission as
scoutmaster to headquarters in New
York.
The next meeting of the new troor
will be held next Wednesday for the
purpose of distributing the uniforms
to the boys. The uniforms will be Sc
cured by Mr.. Sherman at a small cost.

Balm will take the new and old troops
