All this stands TO the credit of the

to cut out party pickering and concen-

SILAS JOHNSON
TO Be MASTER
OF BOY SCOUTS

Silas Johnson, pastor of the Lee
Street Methodist church, has accepted
the Scoutmastership Of the Amerlcus
troop of Boy Scouts.
The chamber of commerce at a re-
cent meeting of the commissioners,
and at the request of President John
Sheffield, decided to act as sponsors
of the Boy Scout troop here. Presi-
dent Sheffield appointed a special
committee to secure scoutmaster
for the troop. This committee con-
sisted of Commissioners j. Ralston
Cargill, George R. Ellis and Lovelace
Eve.
For several weeks James A. Lott
has acted as scoutmaster. Mr.. Lott
accepted the place only temporarily
saving that because of his business
he could not consent to act as per
manent master of the troop.
Mr.. johnson has had some expert
ence in scouting, having been a scout
master of another troop before COM
ing to Americus.
"Some of the most successful
scoutmasters in the United States
one of the. committee said today in
announcing Mr.. Johnson's acceptance
of the place, "have been ministers.
1t is most fortunate for the troop
that Mr.. Johnson has accepted. 1t
takes a great deal of time, energy
and goodfellowship for any man to
become a successful scoutmaster. We
felt that no man in Americus filled
these qualifications more than Mr..
johnson.
GAS a business man of Amerieus,
/ do not hesitate to say that there is
no organization in the county of more
vital Importance to the community
as a whole than a troop of Boy
Scouts Every boy between the ages
of II and 18 years should become
member Of the local troop. 1t means
a great deal to the community to have
this building organization
here, an organization that is max
ing of our boys the citizens of to-
morrow. The organization should and
will receive the support and full en-
dorsement of the chamber of COM
merce and every citizen of the com
munity."
1t is planned by the commissioners
of the chamber to hold a call meet
ing of the commissioners with all of
the scouts present, and there present
to the scouts their new and perma-
nent scoutmaster. The date of this /
meeting will be announced later.
