BABY, ONE. IS BOY SCOUT
David Reed Lit, of JenkIntown,
Youngest Associate Member

David Reed Lit, one year old, of Jen-
kintown, enjoys the distinction of being
the youngest associate member of the
Philadelphia Boy Scouts of America.
The scout, who is one year old, is a
son of Mr.. and Mrs. D. Ellis Lit.
He became affiliated with the organi-
cation when his mother sent to the
headquarters a subscription blank ac-
companied by the associate membership
fee.
As soon as the baby becomes old
enough he will sign up with a troop
and become a regular scout.
Wee David is already beginning his
training as scout. When he reaches
the scout age he will have become
familiar with all the principles and
practices Of boy scout.
Mrs. Lit is so firm a believer in the
ideals held by the scouts that she be-
lieves they are the best training for a
boy to receive. She thinks they are
applicable to small children as we'll as
to the older ones.
For all practical purposes Mrs. Lit
is scoutmaster as we'll as mother to
her son. As soon as her son becomes
old enough to utter the words she will
teach him the scout oath. She pur-
poses that he shall be self reliant, cour-
ageous, healthy. reverent, clean, loyal
truthful, honest, patriotic, chivalrous
and kind.
