SOME FLOOD" AT
BOY SCOUT CAMP
Save Most of Property; Tents
Are Covered With
Mud

AS the boys put 1t "It was some
flood" 1t all began when the flood
gates at Laurel, seven miles above
the Scout camp at Mount Holly
Springs, gave way. This in turn
sent SUCH flood of water down
against the upper Mount Holly dam
that about forty feet of the en-
bankment near the railroad gave
way and proceeded to flood the
lower valley.
This is substantially Camp Direc-
tor Rees' story of what happened.
They were all around the camp fire
early in the evening on Tuesday
when they noticed the water in
Mountain Run was rising rapidly.
Prof" hurridly got the Scouts to
pact their belongings in suit cases
and put them on top of their cots to
prepare for emergency. Ten min
utes later the telephone rang, and
the Carlisle operator said that the
dam had burst at Laurel and that
it was wise to get to high ground.
Fifteen minutes later when every
thing had been removed to points
up on the hillside, the flood began
to arrive. Slowly but steadily it
til about eleven o'clock there was
three feet of water rushing over the
camp site. OF course it didn't take
long to pull out tent stakes and for
tents to be torn from their moor
ings. By this time the Scouts were
comfortably settled in the mess hall
and the cooks tents for the night
Prof. Rees, Sparrow, and a neigh
Dor who came to help spend the
night patrolling the flood area try
ing to save anything that might be
carried down stream.

$NEWz and NOTES or. THEtB0Y z1OuTz&

1t was a sad sight when the Scout
Executive arrived in camp on We'd
nesday morning early. Not a tent
was standing, except the cooks
tent which is on the hillside. Every
thing was covered with mud and
slime, and in grand pile twisted
around trees. Only one tent was
found to be damaged, and that is
beyond repair. A number of cots
were torn but none were lost. So,
everything considered, we came out
of the flood very luckily.
Camp is all re-erected by this
time. The big dance-hall pavilion
has been restored to, and six tents
are erected on the north end of the
floor. The Headquarters tent has
been located between the mess hall
and the recreation hall. Asst. Camp
Director Sparrow has established
his headquarters in the vicinity.
The Scouts who were there are
all pleased with the change for it
it not so far to the water supply nor
to the mess hall. and in case of bad
weather they can get from their
tents to the big building in a few
seconds.
Everything is now in good shape,
and preparations are being made to
accommodate a large crowd of boys
due at camp in August. All Scouts
who wish to go during that month
are asked to notify headquarters
promptly, and ahead of time. in
order that arrangements may be
made for them.

Troop Is Is Told Cuban
Boys Want to Be Scouts

Old Jupiter Pluvius made 1t i'm
possible for us to go to the Hut last
Saturday as we had planned. so We
took our lunches hame and did some
indoor scouting.
On Sunday q request came to us
for Scout literature in Spanish. A
lady instructor in a Cuban school
near Havana said that the boys are
so anxious to start a troop, that
in spite of the fact that they had no
idea of the manner of organizing,
they have already fixed up a room
for a meeting place. The request
was referred to the Supply Depart
ment. We hope the Scout Executive
will advise us as to what is neces-
sary in the way of pamphlets for
this particular need.

TROOP Ii BUSY
in HARRISBURG
Members Called Upon to Help
at Meetings and
PicnicS

Although one would think Scout
ing would fall during summer
months. Troop 13 is running full
blast. The Troop has many of its
members out of town or somewhere
on camping trips, but those remain
ing at home are putting it across
while others perhaps are waiting
for the autumn months to roll
around.
Now that the opportunity pre-
sented by the Government to help
during the war in various cam
paigns. has passed. we must look
elsewhere to render our services in
keeping the Scout Oath by doing a
good turn each day. The first place
to which we turn is our city, and
recently we have assisted in a great
many ways.
The Chamber of Commerce re-
quired the services of Keller, Ken
nedy, German, and Alexander, on
July 3, while at Bowman's picnic on
July 10. Keller, German, Webster,
Alexander, Krause, and Maglauch-
lin rendered their services, and had
splendid time in return.
On Monday July IA, Kennedy,
Keller, Krause, Byrem, Zimmerman,
Moeslein, Wayne Grunden, Bruce
Grunden, and Alexander helped
make fly traps, while on July II, at
the Y. NJ. C. A. picnic. Karl Moeslein
and Wayne Grunden were station
ed there for service.
Last month on July 20, the Cham
Der of Commerce held an outing at
which Fenton, Foss, Hunter, and
Thompson of our Troop were de-
tailed for service.
Therefore our Troop is still hold
ing her records in the public, good
turns done. Even last Saturday
evening a group of fellows from
Troop 13 were busy at Chestnut
Street Hall.
Troop 13 has the Social Com
mittee working hard, and that group
plans to have some activity of that
sort happening every meeting. Last
Friday evening it was planned to
have a Troop outing on the Island,
but rain prevented this, so the
Scouts adjourned to the gym floor
where a series of Scout games were
pulled off.
This Friday evening the Troop
plans to go to Wildwood to hold
their weekly meeting, and after
ward to enjoy a camp fire with the
additional feature of toasted marsh
mallows.
With these activities and other
notes of Scouting drawing the in
terest of Troop 13 that Troop is
extending the challenge to others
Keep going.

1t was a hot afternoon in mid
summer. Four scouts, burdened with
camp duffle hiked slowly along the
long white road which rejecting the
glare of the sun. stretched away un-
invitingly into the distance. Two of
the scouts. tired and perspiring, de-
termined to sit down beside the road
and walt until passing wagon or
automobile should pick them up.
One of the Scouts, Carvel Sparrow,
now an Assistant Scout Master in
Troop 26, sad ihe was willing to ac-
cept a lift but would keep on walk
ing until the pick up or lift came
along. And If no lift comes" he
said, "I'll be just so much farther
on the way" AS an afterthought he
added, Every time you hike it with
out a lift, you are in so much better
condition to meet the day when a
lift is impossible and you must go
it alone"
Do you know Scouts, think Spar
row in those words stated one of the
biggest things in the Scout Move
ment? Be prepared.
A scouts motto is: Be prepared.
Prepared for what? Prepared for
mentally and NOR
ally. And being prepared for life
means work. 1t means study. sacri-
flee and work. 1t means that our
hopes. ambitions, thoughts and even
our hours of recreation must be di-
rected to that end.
The lives of the greatest men of
history are records of work, reverses
and disappointment. Abe Lincoln,
after his days work was done, lay
before the fireplace while in the
flickering light he pored over his
books saying to himself. 'I will study
and perhaps my chance will come"
The chance came and he was pre-
pared. AS a boy, Daniel Webster
went into the barn and made speeches
to the cattle but the day came when
his voice was to sway the Senate of
the United States and to touch the
hearts of his countrymen until they

Scouts Wanted to Make
Fly Traps on Saturday

Now that the rain has ceased, the
work on making fly traps will be-
gin again. Scout Executive Virgin
asks for thirty Scouts to report for
this work on Saturday afternoon at
2 o'clock. Please bring a hammer
or saw if you have one.
On Saturday morning the State
Health Department wants six boys
to report at room 634. fifth floor of
the north wing of the Capitol. Work
on fly traps will be done there also.
This is work of importance, and
every Scout who can should con-
slider it his duty to report on this
detail.

famous functions at which the usual

comitants of a good dinner will be
served. Next year and thereafter the
details of such an affair will be changed
slightly to read: Water flowed like

ii. l.. Joyce, foreman of the panel,
acted as POSTMASTER. The speakers
were Sheriff David L. Knott, Martin T.

William D. Harrigan, u. S. A.; the Rev.
John j. Hughes and the Rev. C. Wal
lace Petty.

formed in this community" said Sheriff
Knott, composed of men of large judy
ment, influence and power, to whom
many intricate problems could be re-
ferred, for we have many at this mo-
ment that affect our very national ex-
lstencc. We have problems to meet
that need the brain power of every
right thinking man in this metropolis.
For instance, we must not only give
employment but find employment for
ours boys returning home. We should
show the same interest in civic affairs
that we have shown in our recent war
drives"
The Sheriff reiterated his advocacy
of the abolition of capital punishment
in this state and of the Ludlow Street
jail, which, he said, is nothing more
than debtors prison. He expressed
hope that such matters will be taken
up at future gatherings of prominent
men at the panel dinners.

panel are M. NJ. Belding, James S. AL

Park Avenue Opened, but
Terminal Space Puzzles
Negotiations for Roadway East
of Grand Central Are at
Standstill

Frank L. Bowling. Borough Presi-
dent of Manhattan, yesterday ex-
pressed the hope that Fourth Avenue
between Thirty fourth and Forty-sec
ond Streets would be open for traffic by
April /. Contractors have assured
him that the improvements would be
completed by then unless exceptional
cold weather prevents the LAYING of
pavement surface.
While the work of opening Park
Avenue from Aston Place to the Har-
lem River is virtually accomplished
after twelve years of agitation and
planning, the problem of, securing
adequate vehicle roadway around the
Grand Central Terminal BUILDING ia
still unsolvcd.
Mr.. Bowling said indications were
that the New York Central & Hudson
RIVER Railroad Company would con-
tlnue to reserve for private use the
high level street Immediately east of
ehe terminal. This would force all
Vehlcular trafflc using the new via
duct to be confined to that part of the
hlgh level thoroughfare that hugs the
west side OF the terminal building
from Forty second to Forty-ffth
Street
Negotiations looking to the use of the
street at the east of the terminal for
northbound traffic are at standstill
rms would allow the high level street
at the west of the terminal for south
bound traffic This street east of the
terminal, known as Depew Place. has
been private right-of- way since 1909,
when the city assigned it to the rail
road. 1t is understood the railroad is
willing to return Depew Place-for a
stiff price.

no basis. due to the contractors failure
to furnish details, on which this claim
can be intelligently considered. Ac-
cordlngly, there is no basis on which
an allowance can be made thereon.
Claim Swelled to $724,389
at is interesting and significant to
note that on August % and September
~, 1917, the contractor stated to Chief
Engineer Turner of the Public Service
Commission that the aggregate amount
Of bis claim was $125,0O0, plus some
thing for taking care of railway ducts.
1t now develops that these claims,
which the Controller appraised at
Sl25.OO0 plus on August %, 1917, are
swollen to S724,3S9, a claim apparently
which he had no thought of making in
August of last year"
1t is understood that competent en-
glneers have informally appraised the
damage due to the Litchfeld company
at $4,000
