+ Dear Scouts.
/ We have certainly been working to-
/ gether for half a year and we certainly
/ have made some progress. Did You
7 know that We have enrolled more than
+ twice as many boys as we had last
/ July and that Is troops and Wolf
+ cub Packs now meet each week? Six
I months ago we had only troops and
+ one man to lead each troop. Now
there are IS members now counting
/ Dan BieAer and Sylvester Weis. who
4 received their instruments for Christ
mas. We expect that all the neigh
4 bors up Dams way know all about his
! drum and doubtless Sylvester has been
blowing himself"
+ Another big thing is the public SER
vice YOU Scouts have given. You put
out all the posters for the Fourth Lib
1 erty Loan. the United War Work cam
paign and the Red Cross Enrolment
| You distributed 10000 "hu" circulars
| for the Mayor, and 1000 for the Coun-
/ ell Of Defense. 1s6 Of you worked as
messengers in the Fourth Loan and S.
4 picked oakum FOR the Red Cross dres-
Z sings. These are just a few IN
many services you have rendered and
which make us feel that Scouts arc
worth while. Now fellows. We are
I facing a new year and I want to ask
, each and everyone to put his shoulder
+ to the wheel and work together with
/ your leaders and with me to make
+ Scouting the biggest possible success
\ in 1919 More tests have been passed
\ in the last 50 days than in six months
previous to that. OF course we know
+ some fellows got bit sore and "un-
+ scoutIke" but TIE tests have been
& passed and are being passed.
+ I wish to thank each Scout who has
4 assisted in the public service or at our
/ headquarters. I feel that ! have many
real friends among you and l am glad
/ to be one of you.
That the new year may bring YOU
abundant blessings and good cheer i
the wish Of your friend.
