TROOP 15 HAS THE YOUNGEST MASCOT
 OF LOCAL TROOPS

Troop 15 is proud of it's young mascot, Jack Cecil Gilchrist. who is Birming- hams youngest and smallest mascot Jack was born on June [, 1918, at 202s South Thirteenth avenue. His first in- tentions of becoming a Boy Scout were made at the early age of months. but
 it was only recently that Jack was old enough to tell his parents of his inten-
 tions So when I went down to his house not so long ago he whispered to me that he had full intentions of joining
 the scouts right away, so he was inn mediately. incidentally unanimously, vot- ed into the troop.
 Troop 15 has noa slackers in it's ranks. That's why young Jack makes such a
 good scout for this troop. He hasn't a slack atom in hss small body. Just yes terday he gave me to understand that he is going to take his fre-building, cook ing. tracking, pacing and signalling tests 1 on his next hike. and if he can swim | 50 yards is going to rush his bank ac- | count and take his swimming test. Who ever heard of such an ambitious mascot l at the age of 16 months?
 | Upon concluding my interview with young Dr. Gilchrist was instructed to
 be under his leadership. and he will prove l all these statements to the Birmingham
 public then. On account of the promise of so fine a young man I shall ask you l all not to request an interview with our
 mascot until 1935.-By Charlie Brombery,

ROSSER ANGEL NEW
 SCOUTMASTER OF 19

After two weeks of leaderless scouting, Troop 19 has at last secured scoutmas- ter whom all the boys know and like. This scoutmaster is Rosser Angel, who is well known to the Southside boys as a great organizer of athletics among the boys of the Southside Baptist church.
 The former scoutmaster. J. J. Strick- land, moved to Montgomery, and of course was forced to give up his troop. MT. Strickland is now serving as scout master of the Montgomery scouts.
 Assistant Scoutmaster Dick Fitzgerald had charge of the troop for quite a while but he also moved 'o Noprsomerv. and again the troop was leaderless. But now the boys have leader who has dis avowed all intentions of moving to Mont gomery and thus giving up the troop.
 Rosser Angel is expected to organize several good athletic teams among the scouts of Troop 19. It is thought that he may get together football team at a very early date. All the scouts are looking for some good times under Ros- sers leadership.-By William Ware, Troop Reporter.

Troop SS met last Friday night in the basement of the West End Methodist church and held a short business meet ing. There was nothing special to come before the scouts, so the meeting was ad- journed
 The West End scouts are kicking up quite a bit of activity lately, and in tend to kick up considerable more in the next month or so. If all the plans of MT. Gilmore. the West End scout com missioner, carry there will not be a liver bunch of scouts in the state than those of West End
 West End scout headquarters are to be organized at a very early date. Two nooms over the West End Drug company have been obtained, and it is there that the club rooms of the West End troops will be arranged. This is one of MT. Gil- more's pet ideas to heighten interest In West End scouting. Another idea bothering these scouts is that of pur- chasing a ''flivver' automobile. You may believe us, if all our plans carry through we are going to have some nice little times in West End.

 CONTEST BETWEEN
 THE NEW PATROLS

At our regular meeting Friday night the principal thing to come befoge the meeting was the selection of new patrols and patrol leaders. The patrols formed were the Eagles. Tigers and Beavers Carlton Garrison was chosen leader of the Eagles, Jimmie Wright of the Tigers and Ashur Bragan of the Beavers
 Our scoutmaster gave us an interesting talk on courtesy due the rights of people and the respect due the United States flag.
 A former member of Troop A. Thomas Darrow. was present. and has the in tention of becoming candidate for mem bership in Troop F.

business, in positions of trust in any oc- equation where carefulness is necessary. By this I do not wish to be understood as saying that only one boy in 50 will learn to be careful, for majority of Fthe boys in time learn by experience to be careful and thoughtful; it sometimes takes costly experience to teach them And here is where the trouble lies. Forty nine boys do not heed what is told them about being thoughtful; it sometimes takes costly experience to teach them. And here is where the trouble lies. Forty nine boys do not heed what is told them about being thoughtful and careful where one boy does, and the 49 learn in the cost ly school of experience; I said 49-that
 is wrong for one or two die in the learn ing through their own carelessness. Scouting makes a fiftieth boy of more than half the boys who engage in it. The observance of the scout law makes a boy careful, thoughtful, reliable. helpful In looking for a chance to do good turn He forgets self and seeks others good Doing good turns becomes habit with him. This makes friends for him. friends of the right sort,
