THE GREAT TEST

Many, many years ago. there lived
fellow men and to heal the sick and
the weary and to help those heavy
with sin. This man as every boy
knows was Jesus. Jesus was once n
boy like YOU and | and yet he sue
ceeded in his ambition. DO We sue
ceed in our ambition? Don't we let
some one step in and up set our
plans? And should we allow this
to be done? Well. the answer is no.
Our job. that's meaning the scouts
is help our fellowmen and MAKE the
world better place not only for our
years that we will live on the globe
but make the world better place
for the coming generation. Yes, we
have people that jeer and laugh and
talk about the scout organization
And if a scout does the least thing
out of the ordinary. the whole scout
organization is blamed and they will
say: 1T was a scout that did that"
Yes, and, sometimes there are narrow
minded people who will down or try
and defeat the scouts purpose in life.
Our oath calls for every scout to do
his duty to God and his country and
to help other people at all times. But
do we live up to our oath? Are we
making scouting the thing it ought
to be? And are we doing our good
turn daily? Scouts, lets have one
purpose in life. not to make millions
not to be rulers of nations. not to
be the greatest of men, and not to
be just an ordinary person but let
US have success in our work as we
have had so far in all work under
taken by the scouts previous to the
war and especially during the great
war. And they thought we couldn't
fight. Well. we showed them and
Others and as the scout organization
goes marching on and as we grow
nearer to manhood, let our keynote of
scouting ring from hill to hill and
from city to city and also from noun
tain to mountain and let that key
note be DO n good turn daily" and
our famous motto. BE Prepared"

TROOP Is UP TO
THE MINUTE NOW
Plenty Doing in Scribe ,Fens-
termacher'S Live Bunch
of Scouts

With the coming of summer and
the good old holidays, Troop 13 is
working right up to her limit which
is always 100 per cen. Last Friday
Nevening. the scouts of the troop were
invited to attend church at the Pine
street Presbyterian church and after
short sermon by their pastor the
troop held their regular weekly scout
meeting in the Boyd Memorial Build
ing.
The troop always has a good rip
roaring speaker present but on ac-
count of the broken program, the
troop was unable to get a speaker
this week but the good friend, Dr.
Lewis S. Nudge, of Troop 13 presented
and dedicated the troop flag to the
scouts of the troop. In presenting
the Nag. it was urged upon the scouts
never to do anything under that
Has which would mar the self-re-
spect of the organization.
Next week. there will be present
at the scout meeting of the troop,
Scout Commissioner German. who will
inspect the troop. Mr.. German has
given the troop a good talk before
OF MS adventures in the Canadian
Noods and is therefore ready for
another good talk
The scouts of Troop 13 have been
asked to sell tickets for an enter
tainment which is to be held at the
boyd Building and they have respond-
eu me and in fact so well that all
the tickets most likely will be sold
through the scout troop. Then last
saturday the troop took a hike to

Scout Hlke-Fifty-five scouts en-
Joyed hike on Tuesday to Lambs
Gap. There We're members present
from practically every troop in the
city. For the little fellows it seemed
like long long road to the top of
the mountain. but the views enjoyed
and the appetites aroused more than
made up for the climb. Many of the
scouts proved That a scout can keep
his eyes open by calling the atten-
tion of the rest of the crowd to
various things of interest along the
way. Twelve scouts passed their fire
making and cooking tests under the
direction of Scoutmaster German of
Troop 13 and Assistant Scoutmaster
Sparrow of Troop %. One of the
interesting points reached was the
signal tower back from the Gap.
From this point the whole Cumber-
land Valley is in plain view, and
the scouts took turns going to the
top of the tower and trying to dis
tinguish the various villages and
towns that seemed to lay direct at
their feet.
An exciting moment developed after
dinner when Scoutmaster German dis
covered large black snake 1--WE
didn't measure him but it is safe
to say he was at least three feet
long) coiled in a hole in tree.
The scout executive secured a pic
ture of him. and the whole body of
scouts had some fun with the snake.
While not poisonous he showed that
he could fight, and wasn't scared of
a crowd tormenting him. The way
he disappeared up the hollow CEN
ter of the tree proved that some
snakes can climb the inside of hole
as well as the outside of limb. Now
that spring is here we hope to have
many such hikes to various points of
interest.

Tells of His Experiences
in Ambulance COMPANY

The regular meeting of Troop 20
was held last Friday. Mr.. Bennett
who has just returned from France
gave an interesting talk. He served
in an ambulance company. and after
some months training in the states
he sailed for Brest. From there he
went to several French camps in
Guiding Colombey les Bellies. When
Major Mitchell was found wounded
on the battlefield he drove him to the
dressing station. After the signing
OF the armistice he visited the Aims
Mountains. He has many interest
ing pictures of this wonderful seem
cry, and has promised to show them
to us very soon.
Last week members of the troop
erected sign posts at Wildwood Park
marking off the pace mile. There are
TWO large posts, one at the beginning
OF the course and one at the end.
Smaller ones mark off one hundred
feet in order that the runner NAV
get the pace-one hundred yards for
dash or other races; one quarter:

FASCINATING TEETH
How Every Woman Can Quick
ly Charm Her Friends With
Lovely Teeth,
Clean, White and Brilliant

If you want the cleanest of
white teeth and healthy gums
free from disease, an EASY and
quick way to get both is TO use
tooth paste so effective and per-
feet that astonishing results usu-
ally come in a weeks time.
And the cost is so little. Just
go to any drug or department
store, and get large tube of
SENREC0 TOOTH PASTE for
80 cents.
Not only will il make YOUR
teeth clean and white, but it will
at once remove any fi1my coating,
help to check the ravages of
Pyorrhea and Danish acidity in
the mouth.
It is used by thousands of
dentists and its sale has been re-
markable. When you visit your
dentist, which you should do al
least twice a year, ask him about
SENRECO. It's most DELIGHTFUL
and refreshing tooth paste.

OF course this isn't all of them but
there are more names to come in and
it is hoped that the troop can have
at least thirty gardens to their credit.
Then the troop has a first aid team
and also a signaling team. These
teams were just recently organized
but the scouts belonging to these two
teams are showing great skill and the
first aid team under the leadership
of DIR. Hazen is showing such fine
work that IL is hoped they can win
hrst place in the first aid teams of
Harrisburg. The signaling team is
running on its own power but with
good fellows just putting their mind
to it, it is also hoped that a crack
up-to-date team can also win a first
place in the city.
