ing in Kenosha,
We're just going to have good
'boy time, y said Commissioner Fog
we'll, "and we re going to let the grown
ups in on the fun. 1t will be a revela-
ton to many to see just how the boys
conduct their troop affairs and their
stunts-well, they have to be seen to be
appreciated. They are all going to be
good, but ] believe we are saving the
best till the last when national and
troop flags will be presented to the va
rious troops of the city and the boys
will Join in following UP the National
Week Of Song by showing how they can
make the rafters ring with the "Star

time they win assemble in the space
now occupied by the basketball court
and stand at salute while cold Glory"
is being raised. Then for the benefit
of the uninitiated the Scout Oath and
the Scout Law will be repeated. They
will then gather in hollow square,

tors can see all that is going on. The
