Troop |, Camp Hill Is
Very Much Alive

On account of Troop meeting and
play practice on the night of the
Father and Son banquet only three
of the members of Troop 1, Camp
Hill attended it. Patterson, the
brother of the Office Scout says the
banquet was scrumptious, and Eddie
Hamme says that the fellows who
didn't get there sure did miss some
thing. Although these fellows were
few in number they were not
lonesome in the least as Brooke of
Troop and Mentzer of Troop 20
who both live in Camp Hill were
present.
Our first play practice was held
at the home of Scoutmaster Ketch-
ledge. The date for the presenta-
ton of our play has not been decided
on yet but the play is sure to be
given during the last week of March.
The Beaver Patrol having an
average of 1884, points per Scout
for the month of January, received
their prize Friday evening. AL
though the Beavers had the highest
average, the Eagle Patrol has the
honor of having the Scout with the
highest number individual points.
He is Scout Freese and holds 163
camping are already being made.
We intend to go to the Community
Camp which Executive Virgin an
nounced Monday evening would be
along the Yellow Breeches creek.
near Bowmansdale. Quite a few of
our troop could lead n stranger to
the precise place as they already
know a book-caseful about the sur
rounding country.
The Troop has about four new can
didates who desire to enter, some
of whom will be taken in at the
next business meeting. Asst Scout
master Nell informed some of us
scouts that uniforms had taken a
fall in price and of course we were
all glad to know that. Nell has been
honorably discharged from the army
and now he holds inspections and
sure is some inspector. We Scouts
from across the river surely wish
that spring would come as we all
yearn to go on a "Weinie Roast" TO
Alleman's Hollow.

THE NEED THE CALI THE
OPPORTUNITY OF SCOUTING
CBy Scribe Fenstemacher)

(By Scribe Fenstemacher)
A scout enjoys n hike through
the woods more than he does walk
over the city's street He can tell
North, East South and West. He
can tie a knot that will hold. lie
can swim a river pitch tent and
mend a tear in his trousers lie
walks through the woods with silent
tread. No dry twlgs snap under
his feet. His eyes are keen and
he sees many things that others do
not see. 4 scout does. not shout
his wisdom from the housetops.
He possesses the quiet power that
comes from knowledge. \ Scout
holds his honor to be his most
precious possession and he would
rather die than have it stained.
scout can kindle fire in the
forest and seldom uses more than
one match. He practices selt-con-
troll and never flinches in the race
of danger. He knows what to DO
in case of fire. He keeps himself clean
and does not practice bad habits.
A scout makes himself a brother
to another scout in trouble or not.

WHAT THEY'RE DOING

During the disastrous autumn
fires in the woods of northern
Minnesota and Wisconsin the
Boy Scouts did much valuable
service in fighting fire, assisting
refugees and the injured, ana
in locating the missing.
Wilson McNair, a Boy Scout
of Lewisburg, w. Va, rescued an
S-year- old boy from in front OF
a passenger train.
Scout Phillip Faucette from
Troop No. 40, of Memphis. was
asked by a frantic father to res
cue his baby who was in burn
ing house. At great personal risk
the scout entered the building
and succeeded in saving the
child.
During a recent hike on Staten
Island the Scouts of Bayonne,
y. J., discovered a forest fire
about a quarter of a mile from
the road. The whistle sounded
for action and every scout was
in a few minutes busy fighting
the fire, which they soon eXtin-
guished.
Reading, Pa, Boy Scouts re-
moved dead trees from sidewalks
for fuel in church.
The Boy Scouts at Bridgeport,
ILL.,, worked on the municipal
wood pile, cutting, saving and
splitting wood for the city poor.
\ troop of Boy Scouts in Ard
more, Pa, hunted for man that
wandered away from home and
found him after a search of
about SO hours.
A busy troop is the one headed
by Scoutmaster Willard North
rup in New York City. These
boy scouts worked after school
and Saturdays for the Patriotic
Service League; gathered over
700 books for the soldiers and
sailors; took part in local block
parties and national war work
such as parades, etc, loaned one
of their tents to the police re-
serves, and built a Kaiser's coffin
to get money for the war work.
The Boy Scout Movement is
proving very popular in Mexico
City alone and throughout the
republic there are also groups
numbering in all several thou
sands of members. They have
adopted the name of Mexican
Explorers" and are enthusiastic
in all branches of the service.
During a fire at Petaluna, Cali
fornia, the crowds greatly hind
cred the tiremen until the Boy
Scouts began guarding the fire
lines. Steps have been taken TO
have scouts guard the hose lines
at every fire hereafter.
