movement in Carney's Point has been
effected along the lines Of greater ell
cheney. and plans have been laid to
greatly extend the movement. At a
meeting Of the Scout executives held re-
Gently at the dupont Club. the first
Scout commissioner for Carney's Point
was named. This post will be filled by
c. S. Bailey who has been active in
Scout affairs for the past two years.

master
Up to the present time the Boy
Scouts Of Carney's Point have had no
ofllcial place to meet and have been
holding sessions in the home Of Mr..
Bailey. The officials Of Upper Penn's
Neck Township have now offered the
Scouts the use Of the new Lafayette

increase in the membership.
AZ the present time there are fifty
four boys enrolled in the movement'at
Carney's Point. Their record during
the last Liberty Loan campaign was a
very creditable one. They sold directly

worth Of Liberty Bonds. Five Of the
boys won medals from the Scout
national headquarters for their work in
that campaign and the medals are ex-
pected TO arrive within the next ten

Gentlemen: At the meeting Of the
Central Labor Union this evening wide
discussion was given 10 the manner
In which the police, traction company
and many others co-operated toward
the success OF the Labor Day parade.
HNfuch criticism was given the mer-
chants along Market street for the lack
Of support In even as much as decorat-
ing their places Of business on this

unanimous action to call this matter
TO your attention inasmuch as labor
feels that this small effort was due
them as they are the chief supporters
Of the stores along this main thorough
fare. The workers earn their wages in
Wilmington and buy their goods In

some recognition from the merchants

consideration at your next nesting, we
beg 10 remain.
VERY respectfully yours,
