Ivor C. Thomas the local scout ex-
ecutive, says: The credit for the
growth and efficiency Of the Ell Paso
scouts Is due to the untiring and IN
selfish efforts Of the scoutmasters,
who without one cent Of remunera-
ton, have given one or more nights
/ week. month after month to this
work. But they enjoy it, and find it
pays in having a part in making better
citizens Of our country
Or. r. l. Ramey has given one
night per Week-someumeS tWO-IOr
over six months. in which he has been
giving tests in first aid for second
and firstclass requirements Scouts
upon different occasions have spoken
/ OF how highly they appreciated his ef-
| forts. Until the demands on his time
| became such that IL was necessary for
/ him to give up the work. Stanley
| Goode. ir.. gave many Saturday after
! Moons in the interest Of the boys. in
structing them in woodcrafts. They
| learned many things from him, due TO
his past experience in the great world
