NEWS AMONG THE BOY SCOUTS OF
 AMERICA HEADQUARTERS NOTES

The East Side Court of Honor will meet in Scout headquarters on Mon day evening, June 24, at 7:45.
 Any boy who plays a bugle or drum and wishes to join the corps now be- ing organized by Assistant Scout master Henry Whitman, please leave his name in headquarters.
 Scout headquarters wishes to con- graduate Morgan Gates of Troop 2S, who has become a full second class Scout this week.
 The following troops must report immediately on the Third Liberty loan sale, using the blanks provided by the treasury department, or they will make it impossible for the Scouts to get the medols. This was care fully outlined in the Scouting maga- zine and we are at a loss to under stand why Scoutmasters don't appre- ciate the situation. The following troops have not reported: 4, 5, G., 8, Il, 12, 13, IA, IS, 16, 23, 25 26, 27, 2S, 32, Fairfield l.
 The Thrift Stamp sales for the week have been quite successful ac- cording to the director of the sales, Deputy Commissioner F. E. Maitland. Mondays sales 1120 stamps or $2S0.00 Tuesdays ...2990 stamps or 747.50 Wednesdays ..2314 stamps or 578.50 Thursdays ...2295 stamps or 573.50
 The returns are very incomplete as yet, which will raise the total to a much larger sum.
 Camp.
 We hope that those boys who have registration cards for camp will turn them in and get their camp number. The number of boys is limited to 60 per week and if the registrations are not turned in promptly some are go- ing to be disappointed in that they can't go the weeks they would like to.
 Each troop has been given a map outlining a section of our city and beginning the day following their troop meeting the Scouts will cover this territory and count every indi- vidual garden embraced by their ter ritory.
 Please make an immediate indi- vidual report to Scout headquarters of the number lying within the assign ed territory.
 /The duties of Scouts for July have not been outlined fully as yet. Will Scoutmasters please keep in touch with headquarters in reference to this matter.
 Some supplies have arrived and are in the troops post office boxes in headquarters. Please call for them.
 Headquarters has a sample of a very practical First Aid kit which the Scouts should become familiar with. Ask to see it when in headquarters.
 Some busy bodies have been spread ing the report that Uncle Sam is to take the Boy Scout uniforms. This is not true as the Boy Scouts wear their uniforms under the act, of the reorganization of the army and navy, passed by Congress in May, 1916.

 As a lot owner of the Union ceme- tery you are a member of the asso- citation and entitled to a vote at any meeting of the association.
 There will be a meeting of the as. sociation on June 27, 1918, for the purpose of considering the following matter:
 As you know, the affairs of the Cemetery association are handled by the board of trustees and directors, elected annually by the members of the Cemetery association. Your board of trustees have taken care of the af- fairs of the association for many years.
 About 45 years ago the Cemetery association was formed and a DOT tion of the present cemetery grounds was acquired by the association. There has been some additions, from time to time, to the cemetery as ne cessity required.
 The following situation has now arisen: Your directors find that there are only about 10 lots left unsold in the present cemetery grounds and it seemed to the directors that pro vision for the future should be made as provision was made so many years ago by the antecedents of the present Cemetery association.
 Therefore, a committee was ap- pointed to obtain additional land if possible for cemetery purposes to meet the requirements of a growing town. It was found that no more land could be secured adjoining the present site for the reason that under the law no grave may be opened within distance of $50 feet of res idence. We are, therefore, forced to look outside for another site. After much effort, from time to time, on part of the committee to find suit able site, the following proposition approved by them. The directors unanimously recommend the adoption of the following scheme by the Gem etery associatnon. The proposition follows:
 Everett B. Sniffen owns a tract of land of about 2 acres, situated on the east side of Main street, running from Neck Bridge Creek north to the lane running from Main street to the Sniffen property on Crirners Neck Point. It is a beautiful piece of prop erty and well adapted for cemetery purposes.
 Mir Sniffen proposes to deed this property to the Cemetery association free of charge. He agrees to lay the ground out in a suitable way with drives. paths, etc, to the satisfaction of the board of dirctors of the Union Cemetery association.
 The Union Cemetery association on it's part agrees, at such a time and in such a manner as the board of direc- tors may deem it advisable, to fence the property and to sell the lots at a price to be agreed upon mutually by
 MT. Sniffen and the association. From the proceeds of such sales of lots MT. Sniffen is to have 80 per cent. and the Cemetery association 20 per cent.
 It is proposed to make the Strat- ford Trust Go. the trustee of the funds and require that some officer of the Stratford Trust Go. shall countersign
