Boy Scouts Start Campaign to Sell
Liberty Loan Bonds and Make Not
able Record on First Day of
le-Hope for 100000 Sales.

800 Public Service Bldgy was busy
place Saturday. 1t happens to be the
Headquarters Of the Boy Scouts Of
America but it was hard to tell it
from Recruiting Office Saturday
evening, when some 38 Kenosha boys
volunteered to serve in the Motor
Transport Corps Scout Executive
james T. Knapp, who is also Branch
Chairman of the Military Training
Camps Association has received call
to recruit at least 100 men from Ke-
nosha. These men will mostly see
overseas service in very short order
and it will be service with real thrill.
According to a report Of the War De-
partment a Battalion Of American
Troops were cut off fro mthis Division
and the German artillery laid bar
rage behind them. They were out of
ammunition and in danger Of being
captured. The Motor Transport Corps
was called upon to rush ammunition to
them. Volunteers were called for,
for ninety trucks. The ninety drivers
volunteered though it meant certain
death to many. Thirty-two got
through that barrage- and saved the.
battalion.
This is the sort of service the Mo-
tor Transport Corps has in France.
Hundreds of mechanics, chauffers,
blacksmiths, electricians, ETC., are need
ed to keep these cars in repair and to
drive. Skilled mechanics and others
with special qualifications can get
in even if in Glass sc. Men 1S-45
are eligible.
The following is the Honor Roll of
Kenoshans who have volunteered so
far, one of them being a man forty
five who has one son in the service
and another awaiting the call.

Boy Scouts Sell over $4,000 Worth
of Bonds Saturday.
In spite of all the handieaps they
are working under the Boy Scouts of
Kenosha proved themselves real sales
men Saturday. Their report on Il
Bond sales shows considerably over
$4,000.
The Scouts have been working zeal
ously ever since the loan started act
ing as messengers, putting up the Lib
erty Loan Posters, etc. They have
been holding up their selling campaign,
having undertaken the task of acting
as cleaners after reapers. AS CLEAN
ers they are some there! A surpris-
ingly large number of big sales have
been landed. One scout secured ST.
600 order from man from out of
town, whom he happened to run across.
A Jackie from the Great Lakes came
across with five nice crisp 500 Federal
Reserve Notes for 800 Bond. At
the rate they lave started off, the
scouts are going to exceed all expec-
sations this time.

Council of Defense Notes
NOmal's Committee

The home and foreign relief depart
ment of the woman IS committee is co.
operating with the Board of Health in
fighting the present epidemic condi-
tions. They are in need of volunteer
helpers to assist the four nurses who
are working under the committee in
caring for the sick. VIII all who are
willing and able to give this most
needed help communicate either with
the chairman of the ward in which
they live or with Mrs. A. a. Lance,
chairman of the committee. There is
also an urgent need for more dona-
tions of wine, jelly, broths and Gus
tards. These should be sent to Mrs.
Lance, who viii see that they are i'm
mediately taken to the ones in need
of them. It is little thing to send
custard or broth to be used in this
way, but it may result in such an i'm
portant thing as the saving of human
life. Therefore don't wait for con-
venient time, but begin at once.

A renewed campaign for the recruit

opened in Kenosha. The blanks have

keep in mind the necessity and import
ance of this work, however, in order
that the recruiting may more quickly
be accomplished when the campaign
begins.
