Scout masters viii get their reports
from the Office showing the work Of
each troop so that these may be filed
fOr national headquarters. Reports
should show the participation Of all
members Of the troop in the work Of
the Fourth Liberty Loan drive. So
Ihat no errors will be made in figuring
HE reports you are earnestly requested
10 come 10 the Office and compare notes
on the work OF your scouts.
Now that the Liberty Loan work is
over and theDe has been slow down
IN the sale Of War Savings Stamps, u
is time 20 again work out a plan for
lRn intensive campaign TO further the
Eales Of all stamps. The quota as made
out for the state OF Delaware. was
t2O per capita. up TO this time there
has been a sale OF about S9.06, at ma
turity. This means that there is a
Bhortage which must be made up by
Extra work. Get your cards In TO the
posto1lce and receive credit before the
Stnd OF the campaign. To further stlmu-
,ate this effort a party, Of eight scouts
Rill make tour Of the county, give a
scOut demonstration, accompanied by
hX-Governor Charles r. Miller, who will
speak on the stamp saving proposition,
followed by a direct appeal by the
bcouts. This should prove an interest
ing trip and at the same time promote
larger sales Of stamps and further the
interest OF scouting in towns, where it
IS not now instituted.
Several letters from the Red Cross,
Liberty Loan Committee, and Cover
hor Townsend, cOmplimenting the
Scouts upon their work and co-opera-
hon in connection with the war work
lervlce have been received blythe scout
siilce. All these letters speak Of the in
kerest and enthusiasm with which the
scouts buckled down TO the many Jobs
glven them. This is the service spoken
pf In all scout bulletins, and which IS
Expected Of the scouts. There are
nany scouts who have not reported
Tor work along these lines Of war SER
vice. 10 is up TO you as a scout TO DO
your bit. There is always something
10 be done. Call the office or better
fet, stop in and get your assignment.
A very sad case has been reported
10 this office from Richmond, Va,
about Scout John Langbourne VIII
liams. Scout Williams, at the out |
break OF the flu IN that city, suggest |
ed the manning Of three ambulances
by scouts to help IN the carrying OF
patients to the hospital. The sugges-
lion was accepted and worked out very |
successfully. But young Williams con- !
Iracted the flu and died shortly after.
sir. Weaver, through the Times-Dis-
batch, speaks very complimentary OF
scout Williams work and further says
sJohn Williams can be put down as
lrue martyr" John Williams was IN
samp with Executive Greenhawk the
hummer Of 1916 for several weeks. VIII /
mlngton sent a letter, expressing their
regrets at the loss Of so worthy a !
Icout, 10 Executive Weaver.
Are you doing anything in response /
10 the call that has gone forth for
every scout and scout official to BE a /
Scout Evangelism" There is such qr-
gent need for men 10 assist in carrying |
on the program Of the scout movement, |
and il is so very evident that unless /
something is done we will not be able
10 maintain the high standard OF the
past or TO respond TO calls OF service |
IN the future, that there can be no hesi- |
lancy or backwardness in eXpounding
10 hen eligible the truth regarding the
opportunity for volunteer leadership
with the greatest OF all movements yet
developed for training OF boyhood.
Think this over and your own way OF
accomplishing it, they carry 1t out.
