is expected from them.
"Soiled uniforms. slouchy carriage
and slovenly appearance Will not %

to II that the scouts so understand. 1t

march and the proper way to stand
and walk. and more attention will be
yiven to these features.
There are many duties for scouts
TO remember-such as their duty to
their parents, to their city. to their
church and to their country. Never
miss a chance to perform any Of the
duties that are always waiting for you.
Never forget to be patriotic In Ill
things and never forget to show your
respect to the flag Of your country.
1--WE are about to enter period In
our history the like Of which has never
before been experienced. Before We
are through with II some Of you may
he far away fighting for your country.
There are a thousand things that scouts
can do here Mt home that will help win

THE SCOUT WHO STICKS

You may talk of your scouts who are
strong on the hike.
Who are there on the trail, in the woods
and the like;
You may have all the signalers, eagles
and stars.
First-aiders. athletes and sea-scouting
tars:
But If from all scouts you will give me
my pick.
I'll fasten my choice on the scout who
will stick.
There's Job to be done. It's a tough
one. I fear:
II may take a week II may take a year.
Who's going to do IL? Here comes the
chap.
He takes of his coat. he throws down
his cap
Looks at the job. shuts his jaws with
click
Fellows that's him. the scout who will
stick.
Problems arise as TIE Job goes along.
Nothing works right and everything's
wrong
When things look the blacklist some
scouts will saw:
"Oh. rec what's the use?" and then beat
II awav.
But Some one h~hts on, through the thin
and the thick.
And W. End at the end the scout who VIII
stick.
