EX H bits Of SCOUTING

Three interesting window displays
were arranged by Ardmore Boy Scout.
Saturday IN honor of the tenth an.
uiyersary OF Scouting. These display,
demonstrate the scouts ability %
adapt himself TO conditions wherever
he may be, and, as shown I'm two Of
The displays, to arrange for himself
q shelter with whatever material lie
may find at hand.
In one of the windows at the store
Of Budl Hoard ana Company, appears
u rather "WOodsy" camp scene, with y
shelter made Of framework Of poles
with blanket covering ii. I'm front
Of this shelter is FIRE known 10
woodsmen ana scouts as reflector"
which. when built on a larger scale
in an actual camp is said to throw
the heat directly into the shelter
and keep the occupant warm even IN
weather as cold as 20 below zero, pro-
vidcd, of course, he wears Il reason
able amount OF clothing also The
material for this window was set
up by Scouts ana arranged by sid"
The camping scene in the window
at the store OF the Bass Furniture
Company. was arranged entirely hy
Scouts. Mr.. Crockett manager of .ha
store having turned over the use ~
the window to them to arrange &,
they saw fit. The scene is little out
Of proportion in that the tent IS
large enough, in comparison with thc
other items, to house a regiment Gl
Scouts.
This scene apparently depicts a
Scouts method Of camping in open
country where there is very little
vegetation.
\ tent of the pup" type faces 4
stream which appears to meander
very accommodatingly across tic
desert Of sand Spanning the stream
is a bridge. constructed Of poles, md
known by Boy Scouts as a "boy pion.
ecr bridge otherwise il is a commrr
friction type brldgo-poles lashed 20.
gethcr with cross piece, and SUP.
ported in triangular form by TIC
weight and friction of one span against
the other Beside the stream, near tn-
tent, appears backlog" cooking
fire, while inside the tent is blank.
ct folded and on which appears .
frying pan and a number of articles
which are evidently parts Of Scout'.
cooking utensils. II is rather a mys-
terry as to where the timber came
from with which the Scout erected his
bridge, but we suppose the idea he de.
sired to convey is that he floated
down tho stream on a raft of logs
and when he found a camping place
proceeded TO build a bridge Of the
raft. \ feature in this window which
attracts considerable attention is 4
sign by Burnitt, which reads: (Which
for your boy-this 'Scoutmaster, Clean
Camp. Clean Fun, Citizenship or this
'Dodging Police, Back Alleys, Gambl-
ing, Penitentiary." The latter "this
indicates a scene separated from the
other by hangman's moose. and al.
cludcs dice, cards. cigarettes. revolv-
ers, and other articles with which
boys sometimes amuse themselves.
The third window, at the Sessions
Company seems to be somewhat of 4
mystery. In the foreground appears
derrick, labeled Scout SemaphoYc
Tower on which appear a pair Of flags
similar TO those indicated for the
signal corps in the regular army. Al;
th" side is sign Scout Signaling
Wireless" accompanying apparatus
which may or may not have some
thing to do with radio signalling. IN
addition to several illustrations ap.
pear placards which indicate that this
window Il. a temporary hospital, or
that the Scouts will make il TEN.
porary hospital and demonstrate first
aid methods at fourthirty each after
noon. No specific announcements seem
to have heen made as TO what these
demonstrations will be. so probably
We will be compelled to wait and see.
