$NEvvS AND NOTES OF THE BOY S1OuTS &

that number OF Scouts or their
fathers were working, the crowd
was not as large as was expected.
Senior Patrol Leader Carson had
charge of the first part of the pro-
gram which included knot deing, as
tronomy and fire making. Assist
ant Scoutmaster Sparrow made fire
with q bow and drill. His first at
tempt was unsuccessful but in an
other trial he produced a flame in
fifty-flve seconds, Scout Snavely
also secured fire with bow and
drill.
The second part of the program
under Assistant Scoutmaster Craver
included semaphore and Morse code
signaling. Scouts Peters, Nye,
Mattson and Leeds gave a Demon
stration of Morse signaling from a
flashlight station while Scouts Bow
ard, Lewis and Snavely used the
semaphore code with hand flags. In
this part of the program Assistant
Scoutmaster Sparrow gave an inter-
esting talk on Indian picture wEiting.
Scout Hines who gave a demonstra-
ton of Scout cooking was one of the
headliners of the evening. He made
a number of delicious looking flap
jacks and amused the audience with
some rare stunts in Tapping. He
tapped them high and low, from his
knees to the ceiling, over his shoul-
der and around his waist. 1t is ru-
mored that in the next demonstra-

ton. he will flap them standing on
his head.
The third part of the program
under Assistant Scoutmaster King
consisted mainly of first aid work
and included bandaging with roller
and triangular bandages, treatment
of broken bones, stretcher making,
fireman's lift, fireman's drag and
treatment of drowning persons.
/ AS a fitting climax to the evening
the Susquehannock Council of Camp
Fire girls, under the direction of
Mrs, Roscoe Bowman prepared a
tasty luncheon. A table decorated
with ferns and potted plants and
laden with good things to eat was
attacked in true Scout style.
On New Years Day the Troop will
take a hike on snowshoes. Scouts
are to meet at the Scout room at
eight o'clock on New Years morning,
having with them full Scout equip
ment such as axes, signal flags,
slaves and cooking utensils.

all Scouts who took part in Tuesday

tual work or by their presence. 1t

Other states having a similar mil

training given to the Boy Scouts of
America. There are 294,542 boys
regularly registered in 1929 troops
scattered all over the United States.
The training as accepted by the
New York Military Training Com
mission is that set forth in the off =
cial Handbooks of the Boy Scouts of
America and such leadership and
conditions as make it possible for
the Scout organization to certify that
the instruction in training meets the
requirements of the New York State
Law and the rules and regulations
of the Military Training Commission.

BOY SCOUTS
ARE RECOGNIZED
State Accepts Memberships in
Organization as Mill
tary Training

Although the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea has never permitted the use of
military titles by its citizen leaders
and the building up of false notions
on the part of the boys as to the
dignity of such assumed titles, and
has taken a definite stand against
tin soldering" a careful analysis of
its scouting program by state off,
cials has justified the New York
State Military Training Commission
in accepting membership in the Boy
Scouts of America as equivalent to
the requirements of the training to
be given under the new law.
All parents will be interested to
know that the Military Training
Commission of the State of New
York has given this official recogni-
ton to the value of the Scouting
program of the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica.

above the age of sixteen years and

Camulos Club

Delightful in every way was
the last meeting of the Camulos
Club, which was held on Friday
at the home of Mrs. w. T. Mills.
The subject for this meeting
was Sugar" THE History of
Sugar" was the title OF Miss
Maybelle Gilbert's paper. Miss
Gilbert, however, was unable to
be present, and her paper was
read by Mrs. Gilbert.
Miss Katherine Hall had a
very interesting paper on Man
ufacturing Sugar. She re-
counted some personal expert
ences in the Vermont sugar
groves.
One of the most interesting
features was a talk by Miss
Anna Barton on Sugar as a
Food Value" which was given
in her usual charming manner.
Mrs. G. Peterson found enough
members in the Club interested
in Red Cross work to establish
an auxiliary which will meet
Tuesday afternoons at |. o. o.
f. hall, Center. Miss Sena Han
sen will have charge of the
work.
An elaborate lunch was served
in the afternoon, intermingled
with music and merriment, after
which the club adjourned.

on Aug. II, by Miss Anna Bar
ton.

A Yellow Cherry

Yellow cherries are an uncom-
mon and peculiar fruit. Two
large trees, apparently % or 30
years old, on the John Bostler
homestead, occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. D. Bailey, have borne a
light crop year after year, but
this season the yield was very
good. Although a smaller cher
ry than the Royal Anne, the
flavor is much the same, and but
for the color might pass for a
Royal Anne Seeding. The trees
were planted by Mr.. Bostler,
who was familiar with the
variety, as also was the late
S. w. Jacobs. Samples have
been forwarded to the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washing
ton, ID. o., by 5. j. Harmellng,
the pioneer nurseryman, who is
desirious of tracing this un-
known variety. When ripe the
cherry is a bright yellow. Mr..
Bailey sold a quantity to the
Vashon cannery.
