New Troop at Market
Street Baptist Church

It is not often that the Scout exc
cutive is visited by a group of men
and told that u troop Of Scouts has
been started and that a good scout
master and assistant have been
found, and all that is necessary is a
visit from the executive and the
making out Of the registration pa
pers.
But that is what happened the
other day when II. d. Jones. super
intcndent of the Sunday school of
the Market Street Baptist Church,
and Jay Stillwell came into the Of
flee. The nucleus of the troop are
already gathered and everything is
in fine shape to go ahead. The above
named gentlemen will act as officers
of the troop, which will be known
as Troop 80, and will add another
good Scout center to THE HILL"
Troop 80 is very fortunate in get
ting Jay Stillwell as the assistant
scoutmaster. He has recently come
to Harrisburg from Dowagiac, Mich,
where he was assistant scoutmaster
of Troop /. He is first class Scout

Good luck to go" and may you
help to set the pace on "The HILL"

the season was held last Tuesday
night at headquarters. About thirty
men were present and after a brief
business session, the meeting was
turned over 10 Paul Kohlhaas, the
captain Of the hrst-aid team at the

Sends Greetings

Hello, fellows. I've just got to
squeeze into this page to-day, but
with all these writeups and the new
column, The Wigwam," I've got to
make myself mighty small.
First, 1 want to tell you about the
new Scout diary we have at head
quarters. It has a blue cover and
the edges are bright red, which
makes q dandy looking book. Be-
sides the usual space for records,
ETC., 1t illustrates various knots and
how to tie them, gives several bugle
calls, how to know army and navy
insignia, space for a cash account,
a record of questions you want to
know, and room for the addresses
and names of Scouts you know.
They are simply great, and only cost
q dime plus nickel. Come in and
ask to see one.
That Wolf story last week was a

Scouts Of City Kept
Busy on Good Turns

The city has come to the conclu-
sion that 1t cannot get along without
the Scouts. Every organization that
works for the betterment of the
community or for the country,
counts us in as big factor. l know
that you feel with me that it is a
pleasure to serve. We are justifying
our existence not only in good
turns" but in the building up and
strengthening the morale of our
country.
Sixteen thousand pamphlets make
a big pile. 1t took two Scouts four
trips to carry them from the print
cry to headquarters. But that was
the number we distributed from
house to house for the Red Cross
Christmas roll call. Headquarters
has not heard q single growl that 1T
was a big job. Every troop said lit
was easy" and particularly those
who go at the game in q systematic
manner.
Besides that above job, the Scouts
delivered telegram" to every min
lister in the city on Saturday after
noon. A. S. M. Norman Boone and
Scout Harold Smedly of Troop Fif-
teen appeared at headquarters with
motorcycle, and bunch of forty
envelopes, given to them to be de-
livered seemed like a small job to
the pair.
Keep 1t up, Scouts, you are learn
ing to get on the job.

Bucher, of A.E.F.,
to Address Scouts

The meeting of Troop Sixteen be-
gan at 7.30. The topic for the de-
votional exercise was The Fourth
Scout Law" The chaplain read the
story of the Good Samaritan. After
the prayer came inspection, roll call,
and dues. At 7.45 w. Criswell and
Machlan picked up sides, and we
played O lively game of Poison"
This is one of our favorites-it gets
so exciting towards the end. The
matter of distributing Red Cross lit
erature was then taken up and as
SO many of the fellows were busy on
Saturday we decided to cover our
district on Friday night after the
meeting. Under the direction of Mr..
Mehring the last twenty minutes of
the meeting were devoted to signal
practice. No Scout who has wheel
was able to get to headquarters on
Saturday afternoon, per the Scout
executives request. We regret this
very much.
This week we have our regular
meeting from 1880 to S.15. More
sIgnailing and q game or two is the
plan. At SIS we will have a joint
meeting with the Cubs. Private e.
Hudson Bucher, 333rd Aero Squad
ron. A. E. F., who was among the
first to return after the signing of
the armistice will tell us some of his
experiences. Private Bucher has
also some musical ability, and we
are expecting a rare treat. We're go
inr to have thirty-three fellows there
to greet him. Count 'em and see.
