Troop 42 Scouts Haue Nice
 Hike to CaLdweN's MiU

Last Saturday and Sunday Troop 42 held one of the most enjoyable hikes of the summer. At 6 o'clock Saturday morning
 the scouts. about nine of us. attended.
 met at Five Points, the usual collecting place of the troop. The start was made
 rom there. and we rode to the Cahaba
 river in autos loaned us by friends of the
 troop.
 We rode out the Twenty fourth street road, almost to the river We turned off the main road about a mile from the pump house, and finally arrived at CaId . well mill, the place at which We held our hike.
 There is no mill at this place, but there IS an excellent place to swim. and that IS all we care for on our hikes. At the so-called Caldwells mill the river is rather broad. deep in some parts and shal'ow in the others. There is an old tree on one side of the river from which one can dive if he wants to.
 when we arrived at our camping site we began ot prepare the place for camp. We slowed away all the equipment and then built a big campfire (we were talk ing no chances on the temperature of the water In the swimming pooD When all our work was done we stripped and went in swimming. The water was not cold as we expected, but on the contrary was moderate and pleasant
 Atter we tired somewhat of swimming we raised an old rowboat which had sunk in the mud. We dumped the water and mud out of the boat and set it afloat on the river, Then all took a boat ride Although our craft was not of the most reliable type, and although we had to keep bailing the water out at a fast rate of speed, we enjoyed our cruise very much.
 There is always someone who wants 10 throw another out when he gets in A boat. and our bunch was no exception. someone Of us started it, and the rest kept IL up. Each one of us had his turn, ana Tn most cases three duckings were 1oled out. After this fun somewhat oalled, we pulled and bailed to shore. md dismounted for grub"

 After our meeting we went to Wood lawn park and played several games, such as relay races and crab races, in which patrol No. 1 took off most of the honors. When the games were finished we boys decided to give our assistant scoutmaster. Guy Smith, a walloping. We had a pretty lively tussle before we succeeded in dow,,- ing him, but when he did fall E. F.

We'll, Scouts, here we are again. What you been doing the past week? I can give good guess. II bet you've been studying hard all week. taking minute off now am then to think of the good times that you have Teen having during the past summer. You remember I took a week off for my vacs ton, now I'm go- ing to tell you what 1 did during that week.
 Long about Wednesday a neighboring farmer with whom I am well acquainte1 came up to me while I was feeding my pigs and asked me i: had heard the latest. Of course I answered in the nega- tive. We hermits don't get much op- portunity of keeping up with the news
 Well, I'll tell you'' said my friend in response to my denial There's bunch of four boys camping on Sis bit of ground, and I think that they're scouts. It seems that they've been cutting up. and as I know that you are inter ested in scouts, thought I would tell you. You know how Si is. those kids might get hurt I was talking to s. this morning."
 Now Si is a crabhy old farmer who lives about 15 miles from my place When I heard about the bunch of scouts camp ing there I thought that I would like to visit them and see what they were doing Consequently I took a few days off anu visited them.
 when l got 10 SIS, TOT l Wen- there first, found the ed man just in the act of grabbing his snotgur. and making for his patch of woods T stopped him and as innocent as you please, inquired the matter
 Matter enough was the stormy re- ply I received. There are four young vagrants in my woods about to burn ur all the trees And that's not all either. They've spoiled ny spring of throwing sticks and stones ln it." Finally calmei him down and told hiir I would visit ths boys and see what they had done. When I promised this he said that he would wait day Lefore going down thar and cleaning the bunch out D as he put it.
 When I got down to the kids camp, found things jus. about as they were painted. The boys were at the moment of my arrival having a pine cone battle and occasionally stick or stone was thrown along with the ether rubbish. Some or this stuff had fallen in the spring, and

FIRST AID SAVES

Maybe some sco1ts wonder some time, 1T all this first aid practice is really neces

 never comes. But that is just the point
 It would not be an emergency if it were

 Just how and when you will be called on

 when scouts kn" "wledge of first aid and

 gratitude that he owes his sons life to scout training
 Scout Gordon Rattey, a patrol leader of Troop No. ,, New Rochelle. New York was accidentally shot in the abdomen While engaged with. another boy in clam digging. Fortunately he did not close con sciousness and kept control of his wits and the situation He got his friend t, help him into the water so that the wound could be properly cleaned Both boys were in batting suits and the in jured boy rsed tie waist s/ngs from his own suit and his friends to staunchi the flow of blood, then mprovised pad and strips from ;lie suits to bind up his wound which he did Emstlf.
 This done with the other boys aid he succeeded in getting into the canoe where he lay flat and was padded four miles across the hay to his home He had pre- viously given instruction to his compan- ion to dash salt water in his face if he to be getting faint which was done several times.
