Criswell Urges Co-opera-
ton of Scouts

Well. fellows, what have you got
for the big Scout Peace Bonfire
Get after your storekeeper and get
at least one barrel full of excelsior
and paper. If you can't get it from
him, get it at some furniture store,
for they will be glad to set rid of 1t.
You know, fellows, we'd like to
keep that bonfire going all night,
and, if We can, it will take lot of
to keep it burning.
We learned at our last meeting
that on April 26 and %, Troop l6
has the cottage up at Sterrit's Gap
for an overnight hike. Here's where
we have a good time.
If you want staff. get it from
Oliver McGary, and If you cut it off,
cut it down to 6 feet, 6ls inches.
We also had a game at our meet
ing on Friday night, and we hope
that when Bobby WeitZel went TO
bed he could lie on his back, for we
were playing Pass the Belt and
Bobby usually got the one end which
stung.
Some OF you fellows who were
Tenderfoots on the night of Janu-
AIRY "a, can come TO meeting only
tonight. IL YOU are not a Second
Glass Scout on the following night,
We'll have to get along without you.
BE sure to come around tonight
and see what's new.

Call For Scouts to Aid in
Celebration

All Scouts who can blow n bugle,
are requested to send their name and
troop to Headquarters, so that we

your information. / may state that
there is only one official bugler in
the city at present. Where are all
the Scouts who are seen in every
parade with bugles ? If you are one
of them, let me know when you are
ready to qualify for the bugler's in
sigma and I will arrange to meet you.
