Sit down here a minute, scouts, as l
have something / want to get off my
chest I was in the Birmingham head
quarters the other day. and I heard your
chief, Mr.. Andrews, ask some of you fell
lows who were posing as scouts to go to
the Rotary office to do some Red Cross
work. They promised to go, and as l was
curious to see how you fellows work, l
followed along. Imagine my disappoint-
ment when I saw the fellows go off 4
side street to picture show.
l imagine it's lucky for them that their
scoutmaster and executive don't know
about it, for there would be some more
names dropped at headquarters. / tell
you what, boys, l have been up against
all kinds of men and boys, big and little,
ragged and red headed, bright and dull,

GREAT BOOM TAKING
PLACE IN TROOP 10

Since Mr.. Rosser Angel took over
the leadership of Troop 10 the troop
has rejuvenated. We are growing in
size and in scout spirit. The fellows
are taking more interest in their work I
and are putting some pep" into tnS
troop. \
AT every meeting of the troop two
or three fellows are voted in as new
members. Soon we will have a full

to be gotten UP. for che southside fell
lows are waking up to the fact that
Troop 10 is around mere" and many
want to enter our troop.
The scouts of Troop 10 have taken
to the plan of carrying first-aid KITS
every day. like the proverbial duck to
the proverbial water. We have a rule
in our troop that when one scout
meets another Troop 10 scout who is
not carrying a first-aid kit the first
scout is entitled to scent drink
from the offender. For the last threey
or four weeks every scout in our trooH
has taken his kit every day in the
week
After every troop meeting we have
some lively boxing bouts Usually
these bouts are for two rounds of one
minute each. Several scouts in the
troop are developing into regular
"pugs" by the constant use of the nit
tens.
We are planning hike and weiner
roast to take place at an early date
Every Troop 10 scout remembers the
last hike and we intend to make the
next one as much of a success as that
We are not sure whether we are go
ing to have a troop football team
not, but we will decide at our next
meeting. There is plenty of material
In our troop and in Rosser Angel, or
scoutmaster, we have an able coach
Our scoutmaster has organized several
good baseball and athletic teams. AZ
present he is coach of the Southsiie

but one game this season. Several of
our members are on this team, and ifI
we decide to get up a team we will
have some good players to back us up.

o'clock. when we went to bed.
We all lay down TO sleep but John
amused us so with his vivid descrip-
ton of catching a bobcat that we did
not go to sleep right away. Finally
he asked what a bodcat was, and one
of the boys answered. "A cat with his
tail cut off and stuck on his nose" but
John was equal to the occasion, and
replied. That's an elephant" Upon this
we all went to sleep.
At o o'clock the next morning we
arose and cooked our breakfast. We
then debated the question of going
home then or waiting until evening
The former was decided on.
We cleaned the mess hall and got

old Davy Crockett was left on his feet.
He was wounded in a dozen places, and
had a pile of bodies in ring all around
