feel that it's useless to try. There
is a good line of talk in answer to
this in this oft-quoted verse:
Somebody said that it couldn't be
done,
But with a chuckle replied
Maybe it couldn't, but he would be
one
Who wouldn't say so till he tried.
So he backed right in with a trace
of u gun on his face. If he
worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled
the thing that couldn't be
done and-he did it.
The Lutheran Red Cross auxiliary
was meeting in one of the adjoining
rooms and Mrs. Markward and Miss
Margaret Vance very kindly came
over and told us all about front line
packets. 1t was most interesting and
we thank these good ladies for their
thoughtfulness.
DePuy and Eveler passed their
tenderfoot requirements and they
ought to be wearing their badges
next week. Goodman and Lid dick
are next in line.
Next week we want to talk about
camp and that means we are going
to have every fellow who is in town
at the meeting.
Boost the local council. Mr.. Vir-
gin, Mr.. Huntsberger and your own
troop whatever it happens to be.
Ours is Sixteen.

Fourth of July parade. also wrote a
letter of thanks. His letter follows:
II feel that 1 would not be doing
justice to. the Boy Scouts of this city
if were to remain silent regarding
their value during the large Ameri-
canization demonstration of July
Fourth, when at least thirty thou
sand American and foreign-born pa
Iaded.
THE parade was made up in eight
divisions. Each division marshal
was supplied with four mounted Boy
Scouts as messengers. Several hun
dred scouts furnished ice water to
the parader all along the line of
march, while others assisted in di-
recting traffic at street intersections.
They all performed their re-
spective duties with promptness and
courtesy. showing the discipline they
ere taught, and carrying out in every
detail the principles of your organ
ization They are the making of fine
soldiers, good businessmen and re-
spected citizens"

Scouts Who Aided on July A
Celebration Thanked by
Captain of Traffic Squad

There is but one thing to say
about the way the scouts handled
their work on the Fourth. For our
first big job" it was splendidly
done.
The shortage of paper cups was
something we could not toresee. Our
supply of 10000 was soon ex-
hausted, Next time we will be bet
ter prepared"
Many of the scouts had amusing
experiences with people. Some OF
the paraders insisted that the scouts
accept money. In every case it was,
of course, refused, but one man held
onto the scout and slipped the
money into his pocket. That scout
is still looking for the parader in or
der to return the coin. Many people
wanted to know the cost of cuptul.
Captain Thompson is enthusiastic
over the way the traffic question was
handled. Very few cars got into
the restricted zone, and those that
did were politely but firmly escorted
out. Every scout reported that he
enjoyed the strenuous work, for the
police backed him up in every way.
The scout executive has just re-
ceived a letter from Captain of Po-
lice Thompson. He says:
MY Dear Sir:-Now that the
Fourth of July demonstration in
Harrisburg is a matter of history,
and the success of which will be re-
membered by all of US for years to
come, we feel that due cred.A belongs
to those who so ably arranged the
details and assisted this bureau in
maintaining order on that day.
therefore the Mayor joins me in ex-
tending to you the thanks of this
bureau for the cooperation and as
sistance rendered us on this occa-
sion by detailing Boy Scouts for spe-
clal duty on that day. Our citizens
appreciate your efforts and we can
assure you that we will be glad to
reciprocate at any time in the flu
ture that you may command us.
Yours very truly.

Members Of Troop Fifteen
Stick Well to Tasks in
Play and at Hard Work

Troop 15 was out in full force on
July 4 fully prepared to do it's share
OF good turns whenever the oppor-
tunity presented and judging from
the reports handed in, every scout
was on the job from early morning
until late in the afternoon doing pa
tfol duty, messenger and public aid.
A first aid tent was erected at the
corner of Second and Emerald
streets and served as o public COM
fort station during the long wait be-
fore the parade passed. The tent
was fully equipped with all requi-
sites needed for first aid work, in
Guiding stretchers and cots and AS
sistant Scoutmaster Boone with two
scouts assisting administered first cid
to four needy persons One case was
where a mans cheek was punctured
by a sharp point of flag and first
aid was given and the man
was then taken to a doctors office
for further treatment. Another case
was where a flag point pierced IA
mans hand and the scouts first aid
treatment sent the man on his way
rejoicing. The other two cases were
treating a woman for fainting and a
Lebanon brother scout for heat pros
tration.
The water stations along the route
of the parade were fully appreciated
by the paraders and the people on
the curb, and the boys were kept
busy from 9 until 2.30 handing a
good cold drink of pure ice water to
the thirsty passersby. To say that
the people of Harrisburg and visitors
from outside towns appreciated the
work of the scouts is putting it mild
ly and judging from the tips that
were offered the boys for the water
the paraders thoroughly enjoyed the
refreshing drinks. OF course all the
scouts politely refused the offered
coins with mo, thank you" A
scout is courteous and does not ac-
cept pay for being helpful or court
Gus.
The members of Troop Is here
wish to thank the residents along
the route of the parade in Second
street from Eemerald to Muench for
their kind assistance in allowing the
scouts the use of buckets, dippers
and water, and the privilege of using
their residences as headquarters for
water depots.
The streets were patrolled by the
traffic squad of Troop Is, consisting
of Scouts Freeburn, Garland, Daugh-

sNEWz and NOTES OF THE BOY S10uTz&
CAMPING

1t is good news to every scout
in Harrisburg that the executive
committee of the local council has
approved a campsite on the Como
doguinet. The spot is a fifteen
acre meadow on the Ashburn
farm. Fine swimming, boating,
fishing and lots of chance for ma
ture study.
The local council will provide
all tentage, a mess hall and kitch-
en- supplies. This is but the be-
ginning of permanent scout
camp. A letter has gone out to
the coutmasters, telling OF the
plans, and reservations are now
being made.
Every scout should spend at
least a week under canvas this
summer.
The scout executive wants to
buy some secondhand tents. If
any scout or troop has some for
sale, please call up headquarters,
and give the details. AS the camp
will be started early next week,
there is not much time to get
them.

Troop Sixteen Does Not
Shirk From Its Tasks

Scouts should not accept tips for
doing good turns. This maxim is as
old as the scout movement, but when
some large-hearted men in the
Fourth of July parade insisted on
throwing money at our ice water
squads what could we do but pick it
up when the chance came. Seventy
nVe cents, so obtained, was turned
into our treasury and we Immediate
ly decided to buy a cooking CRATE
with 1t. If this should reach the
eye of any of our friends they will
know that they have had a part
In making our hikes more ENJOY
able. Unknown benefactors we thank
you.
We had a great hike on Saturday.
Sorry more fellows weren't out to
enjoy it. We rode to the end of The
Rockville line and hiked to place in
Clark's Valley, about a half mile
above the sawmill. Here amid the
most beautiful surroundings we've
ever enjoyed we cooked our supper
and ate everything we had along and
almost wished for more. Then we
did some tracking over a trail about
mile long on Third Mountain. We
started home about an hour later
shho M Il 6OOu pdCS COllllIS oOW IL.
We reached Dauphin about 9 o'clock
and just below the railroad crossing
some good Samaritan picked us up
and brought us down to Front and
Broad streets. The fact that their
car was already full did not make
them hesitate; they piled us in re-
gardless. Such good deeds make
life worth living and we hope that
we made these good people feel the
gratitude that was in our hearts.
Our meeting last night was well
attended. One new name was add
ed to our roll. Assistant Mehring
announced hike to be devoted en-
tirely to signal practice, Monday,
July %, meeting at the church at
7.3O p. m. and leaving promptly for
a destination to be announced later
Every tenderfoot who has an eye on
that device shaped like a scroll, turn
ed UP like a scouts mouth should be,
and with that like knot of wire sus-
pended from the center, you know
what l mean, should be in on this.
Our new second class men have
them going. McGary has the fever.
He expects to be examined this week
and next Monday we believe that
more fellows will request that their
certificates be sent to headquarters.
Speaking of second class tests makes
me think that some of the fellows

Black Walnut Survey
Keeps Scouts Busy

Scouts, keep going on the Black
Walnut Survey. Uncle Sam needs
the lumber in large quantities, and
he wants it wherever he can get
it. Anything from one log to car
load. Scouts all over the country
are reporting the finding of about
100000 feet of timber every day,
but even that amount is not too
much.
Some of the Harrisburg Troops
have accepted certain districts to
cover in either Dauphin or Cum
berland counties. Come into head
quarters and locate your district on
the map. There is lots of space
left.
Black walnut logs may be de-
livered to the railroad to be used
by the government for the making
of gunstocks and airplane propel-
lors. Logs can be six feet and up
long, and one-half inch and up in
diameter.

WAR STAMPS

What about your w. S. S. sales?
The national headquarters has
started to distribute the Achieve
ment buttons and the Treasury
Department is about ready to
send out "ace" medals. Get busy
and keep busy, scouts. Uncle
Sam needs the money, and you
can help him get it.
If you have no red cards, come
into headquarters and get a sup
ply.
Don't be a Stacker.

"KEEPING FIT" IS
BOY SCOUT DUTY
Youngsters Show How to Give
Their Bodies a Square
Deal

Local headquarters has just re-
ceived a copy of pamphlet en-
titled Keeping Fit" 1t is printed
by the government. 1t says that
fitness demands six things:
i. Muscular strength.
2. Endurance.
8. Energy.
4. Will power.
5. Courage.
8. Self control.
The Scout who is living up to his
oath is developing himself along
each one of these lines. Remember
the third section of your oath. "On
my honor I will do my best-to keep
myself physically strong, mentally
awake, and morally straight"
1t is a disgrace in these days to
be physically unfit. for the service
have been cured or avoided. Uncle
Sam appeals to the Scout of to-day
to keep himself in first-class form.
The pamphlet says that there are
four Scout handicaps to fitness,
/. Defective eyes.
2. Defective teeth.
3. Defective feet.
4. Disease.
The handbook covers all these
handicaps, and tells how to avoid
them. The Scout who obeys the
rules of health is the Scout who is
best prepared.
Your body is your lifelong. will
ing servant Give it a square deal,
and it will give you a square deal
and more-it will give you back
pure blood and strong, skilled mus
cIes, and a clear brain for your fu-
ture happiness, your country's SER
vice. and the worlds work.

Peg O. My Heart
At The Garfnd Opera House Tonight.

Laughter and tears are so close to-
gether in this delightful story OF
youth that no mans syes can dis
Germ the boundry line Rather, it
rests with your own senses. Surely
there has never been character
just exactly like Peg" She is so
winsome. hoydenish, lovable, sincere,
| tender and a veritable spitfire when
aroused. and withal, compels your
sympathy in her natural girlish crav-
ing for the sympathy, love and ten
derness to which she has been accus-
toned all her young life from her
ne'er-do-well father, and which her
snobbish English relatives decline to
give her.
Pegs father has eloped with the
youngest daughter of a wealthy and
aristocratic English family. They
reach America, where Peg is born,
and soon after her birth her mother
dies. Peg is brought up by her ia
Their, who does not correct her, argu-
ing that 1T is the original sin that
is breaking out in We, an indade, We
are not responsible for tits me-"
This, according to Peg, is a grand
way to bring up a child A brother,
to whom Pegs mother had appealed
for assistance, and who ignored the
request at the time, eighteen years
after has an awakening of consci-
ence and sends to America for his
niece to come to England. While on
the steamer, uncle dies, and Peg is
met at Liverpool by her uncle's So
licitor, Hawks, who is one of the ex-
ecutors of his estate He directs
Peg to the home of her aunt, Mrs.
Chichester, at Scarborough, there to
await his arrival. Pegs experiences
in the house of her aunt adm cousins
cause many amusing situations, as
we'll as some tinged with pathos.
Miss Ann Pittwood here in the
role of Peg, is supported by an ex-
cellent company. ADV !
