Rah For New ScOutmaster!
Troop Fourteen Likes Him

The Scouts of Troop II held an
interesting meeting on Monday. A
night hike is being planned for the
near future. The Scouts also intend
to have a parents night soon.
REGRETS were expressed by the
Scouts at the loss of their brother
Scout, Charles Elwood Bailor. He was
a faithful member in the troop and
his loss will be felt by all. Prior
to his death he secured, in the Fourth
Liberty Loan, enough subscriptions
to entitle him to a medal He is the
first member the troop has lost by
death and we all sincerely hope 1t
will be the last. The troop sent
flowers and four of the Scouts as
sisted as pallbearers at the funeral.
A portion of the troop has been
very busy doing good turns during
the period of five weeks of which all
schools were closed. A part of them
assisted at the United War Work
Campaign Headquarters in Market
street. helping prepare supplies for
the approaching campaign, while
others did the more strenuous work
as loading peach stones into cars for
shipment. Several of the Scouts have
succeeded in passing the outdoor
work for their second class tests and
hope to pass the rest of 1t very soon.
Some easy pocket money was made
by passing the new telephone bo )ks
in which several members partici-
pated. The troop has succeeded in
getting a new Scoutmaster and We
all think he will be a success.

A GOOD TURN DAILY

Scout officials are often asked,
What is the big thing in scouting?"
Sometimes the question COMES in
this form, What is the secret of the
power of scouting, and why has it
developed so extensively"
The answer is not, because of
ITS membership" for scouting had
power at its very beginning, eight
years ago. Neither is. it, because OF
the bond of brotherhood" powerful
though that may be; neither is II
the appeal of boyhood, for boys un-
der leadership have had to force
their way into recognition, and that
within the last few years.
All of these are factors in the life
of scouting, but the secret of the
power of scouting is that all the
members are sworn on their honor
to do their best to obey the scout
oath and scout law, and particularly
the third law, "a scout is helpful" /"
The Interpretation of the third law
is Ito do good turn daily"
Just there is the secret of scout
ing's power. That is the reason why

Troop 26 held it's monthly business

night to Friday night. was brought
to vote and defeated, and 1t was then
ordered by the scoutmaster that the
meetings remain at Monday nights.
The Scoutmaster accused the troop
OF wanting Friday night because most
of the entertainments of the Lyceum

The 16 principal points of the COM

TROOP 13 READY
FOR THE WINTER
Scribe Fenstermacher Writes
Entertainingly of Scout
Work of the Season

Starting with December 26th,
Troop 13 will have a series of scout
competitions by Patrols with the
various troops of the city. The
, troop has the advantage in the use
of the gymnasium floor of the Boyd
Memorial. On account of this, they
intend to invite most of the troops
of the city to visit them and complete
in Scout activities. \ 1t may seem
selfish but whats the use of paying
for a floor to hold contests when
you have one of your own.
Among the features for this years
scout meetings will be special lee
ture on the adolescent boy which
will be given in one of the early
December meetings.
The Troop has been fortunate in
obtaining the use of the services of
Mr.. Tack, n former Captain in. the
National Guards and Shorty Miller,
the famous State athlete as drill
masters.
In the near future, the Honorary
Committee will meet with the Troop
Committee of which Ramsey Black
Is chairman to discuss the welfare
and betterment of the Troop.
The Scouts of Troop 13 have been
requested to attend the ThanksgiV-
ing Day Services at ten o'clock on
Thanksgiving morning, and it is
specially requested that every scout
be present in uniform, as a picture
of the Troop will be taken at this
time.
On account of the anniversary
services of the Boyd Bible Glass the
Troop will have to find another
meeting place for that night and a
hike to Camp Boyd has been ar
ranged for. The Troop intends to
have blankets and cooking utensils
and their other hiking stuff" sent
up to their destination which will
be Camp Boyd and thus hike empty
handed from here to Camp Boyd.
There the Troop intends to stay
over night and you may be sure that
the Troop will have q good time.
Although the scouts can't go in
swimming, they can ramble around
over the mountains that are still
standing there if they haven't dis
there last. After spending the
night, up there in Gods country,
the Scouts will hike back to Har-
risburg. The, hike around trip will
be about forty-four or five miles
but this will be a fine chance for
developement for the younger fell
lows as well as the older boys and
the Troop intends to have a fine
time.

ment-and also what money cannot
buy-their time and their construc-
tive influence.
Harrisburg does not need to be
told that the scouts are doing their
best to live up to this law. Within
the past year and half scouting has
become an important factor in the
community. The instances are in
Vulnerable where scouts nave re-
sponded to appeals for service. The
boys in the community, few as they
are, in comparison to whats they
should be, have found themselves Ill
service for their fellow men. They
have not regarded this service as
arduous work, but rather just the
expression of their duty and theiI
love of the community.
The cumulative effects of 800-odd
good turns that are done each day
by the scouts of this city will help to
make Harrisburg a better, cleaner
and happier place in which to live
Therefore, more power to scouting
Let there be more men come forward
who will devote themselves to the
development of the movement an6
