Boy Scouts

There are now more than
1000 Scouts in Kahki"
securing through the country
on first one mission then anoth-
er. The activity Ct the scouts
in the War Saving Stamp sale
was great and numbers Of the
boy scouts won an achievement
button. ace medal or palms. The
Ace scout in each state who
wins the greatest number of
War Savings Stamps palm will
receive at the end of the year
a personal letter Of thanks from
the President.
There has been some question
regarding the scouts uniform
but Mr.. James E. West, chief
scout executive Of the boy scouts
Of America makes the following
statement: There is no need
for concern on the part of the
344, ,28S scouts and 88, ,253 scout
officials about the danger of hav-
ing to give up the official use of
the kahki uniform at this time.
This matter has been taken up
very definitely with the officials
at Washington. In the first
place the boy scouts of America
are recognized by the Govern
ment as a part of the machinery
for winning the war. Not only
is this recognition established as
a matter of fact but as q practi-
cal result of their activities. but
is based upon their federal char
ter and the provision in the
army record law which specif-
cially legalizes the uniform Of
the boy scouts Of America. "
The question concerning the
uniform was raised because Of
the quantity of khaki necessary
lt ~ ti-
for the uniforms and a short
age for soldiers was feared but
it appears that the boys are as
much entitled to their uniforms
as any one else # they choose
to have them.
Thousands Of boy scouts over
the country are raising castor
beans because castor oil has
been found the most satisfactory
lubricant which has been used
for certain type Of airplane
engines and also castor oil is
being used much more extern
Slpely IN the pnarIna tnan7
heretofore. In some sections
the boy scouts have discovered
and reported black walnut trees
which the government badly
needs for gun stocks and the
government printing Office sends
out to any scouts who wish them
blanks on which d report size
aud availability Of trees.
