NEW CASTLE. Del, Oct. s.-The Boy
Scouts Of New Castle are doing splendid
work in the sale OF War Savings
Stamps. James Wilson has made an ex-
ceptionally fine record in these sales,
having been awarded an ace medal and
three palms. The idea of an "ace
medal" is an adoption Of the plan Of the
French government in awarding honors
to its aviators. An lace" in France Is
an airman who has brought down five
enemy aeroplanes within the French
lines, which indicates many more un-
observed victories. An lace scout" IS
one whose w. S. s. records show that
he has taken orders for a total Of $3.50
OF War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps from % or more individuals.
When a French aviator becomes an
Ace" he receives the CrOix de Guerre T;
when a Scout becomes an "Ace Scout"
he receives a w. s. s. medal.
After a Scout hts won an "Ace medal"
he is eligible TO win w. s. s. palms.
which are given for each 500 Of orders
for War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps. The ace Scout" in>each State,
who. during 1918 wins the greatest
number OF w. :. 5. palms. will receive
at the close Of the year. a personal let
ter OF thanks from the President OF the
United States. The Scouts Of New Cas-
tie are working energetically for this
