September |, 1919 To Sept. |, 1920 Shows
Marked Success; Emmitt TReid Remains AS
Executive; Fund Campaign Launched Soon

Closing the first year of successful
work of the reorganized Boy Scout
council, the executive committee met
Thursday in the Chamber of Com.
merce rooms. considered reports Of
the work Of the year just closed and
adopted plans for the next year which
will add considerably more to the ef-
fectiveness Of the scout movement in
Ardmore.
In the absence Of r. o. Early,
president Of the council. who moved
to Oklahoma City in July, Commits
sioner Arthur Straehley presided tenn
porarily until G. W. Richards was
elected as president. Frank Sher-
wood was elected vice.president, and
James Barron was elected a member
Of the committee to fill the vacancy
in the committee. Other members of
the committee present were: George
Poulter, Henry Baum. o. H. VOL
verton and Emmitt T. Reid.
Brief Outline of Work
A brief outline of the work accom-.
plished the past IL months Is EN-
braced in the report Of the scout ex.
ecutive, Emmitt T. Reid, presented
at the meeting as follows:
"A great part Of the work Of the
year just closed has been in the
nature Of research work surveys, and
analysis of the boy situation by
months in order to determine the
needs peculiar to this community. and
prepare for the second years work,
a program adopted to local condi
tions.
The physical growth Of the organi
zauon is indicated by the following
records Of membership:
Sept. |, 1919. the records showed
five first class scouts; 20 second
class, and 23 tenderfoot scouts.
August 81, 1920, the records show
% first class, 90 second class and 81
tcnderfoot scouts, with 45 candidate
scouts who have not yet qualified ir
the preliminary tests. In addition we
have one star scout. and three others
who have qualified FOR merit badges
and are awaiting session of th'
court Of honor in order to become
star scouts.
During the year just closed non'
have been lost because Of lack of in
terest. four have been suspended fo
failure TO comply with regulation
(their term Of suspension expires il
October,) and 125 have been gaineC
and held.
Two men have been added as scout
masters, three as assistant scoutmast
ers, and three new scoutmasters ar
in training. Two former scoutmast
ers have held their work and contin
ued their troops in fair shape.
THE financial condition Of tn
council is as follows: Approximate,
$500 was pledged in the campaign
last September. s3,059 has been co
lected; s3,O6O.20 has been spent (w
have an overdraft Of sl.20), thes
figures do not include collections an
expenditures for September /, 1925
we owe s446.70 and have pledge
on which we can collect. in Septen
ber s472lS.
We have lost approximately $50
on unpaid pledges, some Of the pee
pie leaving town and refusing to pa
further, one death. and some firm

bers refusing to assume individu;
responsibility for the peldge.

represent this country in the in
ternational Jamboree In London
where scouts from "a countries
were gathered.
One hundred and seventy-three
boys have received special train
ing in good citizenship and have
made their presence felt in the
community by doing some unself-
ish good turn each day. These
good turns ranged all the way
from stopping and returning To
their owners runaway Nhorses. TO
putting out fires which threat
ened to DESTROY residences while
the occupants were absent,
Rescue Horse
Among notable good turns per-
formed by individual scouts was
one in which three scouts assisted
IN rescuing horse from ravine
into which it had fallen. and lain
for several days. feeding it and
carrying water to it, then digging
around II so that when the ami
NAL had gained sufficient strength
from regular feeding it could get
to its feet
Another group found and po-
Iced a bad hole in road south
of town and prevented speed
ing cars from plunging into 1t
by giving warning at a suitable
distance. Later brush was piled
into the hole which forced driv-
ers to go around in safety.
A third very notable good turn
was the removal of dangerous
decoration from the steeple Of the
Broadway Methodist church at
time when high winds had blown
it from the anchors and left it
suspended over the sidewalk.
Helps Widow
Two scouts have just lately
been assisting a widow, the moth
er of three small children: milking
cows, feeding hogs, handling ma
chinery. etc, until she could Sc
cure help to replace hands who
left to pick cotton.
The incentive to do these thin
was furnished by the program of t
Boy Scouts of America. With the
173 well trained boys to build frol
Ardmore can expect next years wo
to make showing which will ev
surpass the excellent record OF |
year Just completed.
In citing these particular go
turns. the scout executive explain
that the principles Of scouting do r
encourage boasting of individual go
turns done. and that only on We
rare occasions are the names of in
vidual scouts mentioned in good III
renorts
