To the Editor of the Telegraph;
Dear Sir-I will thank you for
space in your paper to say a few
complimentary words for the Boy
Scouts of the city. On Memorial Day
l assigned quite a number of the
boys on both sides of the second
division, composed of the G. A. r.,
and asked them to watch carefully
and notice whether any of the COM
rades were taken ill or give out.
They performed their duties most
admirably. Each scout carried u
canteen of water and frequently re-
filled it along the route of march.
Many of the comrades offered to pay
them in sums ranging from Il nickel
to a quarter, which they politely
refused, saying, I'VE are here to aid
you without pay and it is a pleasure
for us to serve you"
They were polite, attentive and
gentlemanly in their department,
