ASK MEN TO serve
AS SCOUTMASTERS
Needed TO Replace Those
Who Have Gone Into
the Army
THREE ALREADY HAVE
OFFERED SERVICES

The Local Council of Boy Scouts will
start a campaign to enlist the services
Of men for Scoutmasters. At present,
owing to abnormal conditions CONNER
cially and the insistent call to service
by the country, the ranks of Scout
masters have been seriously depleted.
Eight or nine local ScOutmasters have
answered their countrys call and are
doing their bit" in the various bran
ches Of the Army and Navy. An appeal
is made to men who are anxious to
serve their city and consequently do
their bit" i'm service TO the country
The only way that boys Of Scout age
can be taken care Of through the Scout
movement is under the leadership Of
efficient Scoutmasters. There is no
greater service that a man can do than
to see boys rise to manhood imbued
with love Of service to the community,
it is pointed out.
The Scout movement has proved it
self fully capable Of taking care Of and
directing the surplus energies Of boys
step by step TO real citizenship.
The Boy question has been taken
into consideration by the Rotary clubs
OF the world and at the annual con-
vontion Of the International AssOcia-
| ton Of Rotary Clubs held in Atlanta,
Ga. on June 1922, the following reso-
luton, after passing through the re-
ilnng fires Of the Committee on Reso-
buttons, was received with great en-
| thusiasm and carried unanimously:
Resolved, That the Convention Of
the International Association of Rotary
! Clubs recommend and urge upon all
affiliated clubs that they undertake,
through the medium Of a standing
Committee on Boys Work, TO continue
such real constructive work as has al
ready been begun, and further, TO sur
vey and determine on such definite
work among boys Of each community
as can be most probably undertaken
considering local conditions. and that
this work be prosecuted under a con-
tinuous program
At a meeting Of the Wilmington Ro-
tary Club on Thursday, at the Hote
dupont, Mr. Atkinson made an inter
csting address on the subject. "A City's
Duty to It's Boys" The Boy Scout
movement was brought up at that time
and the Rotary Club pledged itself tC
secure at least five Scoutmasters t.

next Thursday. Immediately there were
three volunteers: j. II. Rosen, John +
