BOY SCOUT
NEWS

There will be a meeting of all the
Scoutmasters and assistant Scoutmas-
ters at the Scout headquarters Sun
day at p. NJ. The Scout executive
would like to have as many Girl
Scouts as possible on Saturday morn
ing as there are quite a number of
Red Cross Service Flags to be dis
tr1buted. Plans are under way to or
ganize a troop of Scouts at the Sa-
cred Heart of Jesus school, on Gold
street. We welcome these boys to
our council and trust that we shall
be of service to them, in teaching
them the high ideals for which this
organization stands.
Troop No. Troop held its regu-
lar meeting on Wednesday evening,
December 18th with a good atten-
dance. The assistant Scoutmaster was
appointed a committee of one to make
arrangements for a sleigh ride for the
Girl Scouts of Troop 2. Trench mir
rors have been sent to the three
members of Troop that are at the
front Howard Mitchell and Fred
Kitchener both expect to attend the
Boy Scout conference to be held at
Providence this month.
The Boy Scout
He's a clever little fellow with a smile
and with will,
An he looks lust like a soldier, but
he isn't trained to kill.
A boy in size-but watch HMM his
doings he's man;
Hes on the job and pledged to help,
where, when, and as he can.
Beside the schoolwork training, he has
just the right amount
OF common-sensish learning to pro-
duce the things that count;
His eye is peeled for action, and his
hand for work is barred,
An he's marching to the music of the
motto, "Be Prepared"
He's not gallery artist, he's in line
for something higher;
Scouty knows the way to help 'em in
a wreck or at fire.
And many are the wounded ones that
owe the lad a debt;
For he it was who knew the spot to
twist the tourniquet,
An the boy from out the river that
seemed drowned beyond a doubt,
Scouty pressed an drew the life back
that had almost vanished out
It's look around an help for his
the utmost never spared,
For he's marching to the music of the
motto, BE Prepared
Hold still-you men-salute him
seems like you clean forgot
Take off your hat to Scouty-he's the
biggest thing you've got.
A dozen years; an he will show the
measure Of his worth,
He'll make a better homeland of this
precious bit of earth.
There three hundred thousand like
him, fit an snappy every one,
You can hear acknowledgements
louder, louder. coming on.
Hes the sample of a legion that to
righteousn is squared,
An he's marching to the music of the
motto, BE Prepared"

in the Boston Globe.

 DEFENSE

What is believed to be the first al. legged violation in Alaska of the presi- dential proclamation. forbidding the selling or giving away of intoxicating liquor within five miles of a naval or military reservation in uninco5 porated territory or within half 8 mile of such reservations in incorporated cities. is charged against Zeke Perivich. of An chOrage.
 The case presents a new phase in connection with intoxicating liquor in that city. which is not incorporated territory and all parts of which are within five miles of military reser- vation. It presents the issue of merely giving away liquor, and emphasizes the fact that violations of the presi- dential proclamation are regarded more seriously than the old offense of selling liquor in a prohibition com munity.
 Persons accused of violating the presidential proclamation, if evidence is produced tending to establish their guilt are bound over to the United States district court. instead of hay ing their cases finally disposed of by the United States commissioner.
 Perivich is accused of merely giving away. not selling, liquor in Anchorage and within five miles of a military re- servation. The complaint against him was filed before Commissioner Leo pold David. The accused man has not entered a plea. and is at liberty on bail
 President Wilson, under authority of an act of congress, issued the pro- clamation regarding the selling or guy ing away of liquor last July. The same proclamation also forbids selling or giving liquor to soldier or sailor in the federal service at any time or place.

 MARRIED

Last evening at 9 o'clock at the apartments of Mrs. A. " Gray was performol tie ceremony of holy mat rimony. the contracting parties being Mir. Wynn Abbott Nourse and Miss Gertrude Lillian Gray. Rev. F. P. Zlegler officiated.
 Everything in connection with the consummation of this affair was car ried out in the quietest manner. It comes as a great surprise to all of the friends of this popular young couple It was simply by the most dexterous of detective work that we are able to give the particulars of the event. By manipulations of the most Sherlockian character, the groom was able to side step publicity for one minute and seven seconds after the spoken words which bound them for life were ut tered. Like a thunder bolt out of a clear sky the resounding boom of con gratulatory tins pans beaten by forty one kids exacted baffled smile from the otherwise austere countenance of Bill" The smooth work on the part of the bride and groom kept know ledge of the affair from the rest of their friends for two minutes. In fact, congratulations have been pouring in and it is with enthusi. asm that we voice ourselves with the general public.
 MT. and Mrs. Nourse will make their home here in Cordova, and it is our pleasure to extend the best good wishes for their future happiness.
