Green Mountain Club and the Boy
Scouts, all active Vermont organiza-
tions.
Dan Beard, Nationa: Scout Commits
sioner who ha1 been in the work 10
years, years longer than any other
executive, was the principal speaker
Of the day 1t will be remembered too
that Our Dan" is an artist of note,
writer and lecturer He knew init
mately Mark Twain and Others of the
old school but Mr.. Beard Is of the new
as well as of the old and is young
along with his 20 odd years.
| He is the hero OF every scout and It
Is easy to see why. Doing big things
he himself is only a boy with them
telling them not occurring them the
/ result of long years of experience. He
believes in every day out of doors
life.
I Kingdoms flourish and fade like
the Babylonian, Asyrian. Egyptian
or Roman because of their search for
luxury. Where hardship prevails
men Of another race and hue cultivate
the plains and health and Joy and the
open are their inheritance. Luxury
brings weakness.
1t was the Scouts of 1871 who beat
the British and won liberty because
each scout was an army In itself and
dress parade and brass buttons and
red coats were unknown. Beard
pictured the sinking of the Titanic
with men on board, men of the indoors
world-going down to death singing
Nearer My God to Thee. Had
some on aboard that boat used the
forces of organization RATS might |
have been made upon which every one
might have been saved. Men like !
Boone, Carson, Cady or Smith would /
have dashed sparsr made rats, etc. !
and when the relief ships arrived
would have been setting with feet
dangling In the water singing Hail, !
Hail The Gangs All Here This was
a day of special interest to Scouts

Normal Corriell Hurt by Truck.

During the showers about {
o'clock last Sunday evening a
truck and two autos headed for
Nezperce on the Nezperce-Cralg-
mont road, slipped beyond con-
troll Of their drivers and skldded
into the ditch about two miles
west of this place. The drivers
and occupants all escaped INJURY
with the exception OF Norman
Corriell. He was driving the
truck and had passenger on the
seat with him. just after top
ping a hill and staring down a
rather steep pitch this way ne en-
counted a muddy stretch OF road
and before he was aware his ma
chine was out of control. 1t slip
ped first one way and then the
other and rolled over when IT
struck the ditch at the right oil
the road. He was pinned down
by the steering gear, and when
extricated was found to have sus,
tanned several bad gashes and
bruises about the right temple
and in his scalp. He was brought
to town where his wounds were
dressed by DR.. Gist, who found IL
necessary to take several stitches
in three of his wounds to close
them He had close call, but Is Is
now out and getting along all
right.
His was the first machine 10
leave the road and the other two
cars followed his example as they
started down the slippery HILL
but with less disasterous effect,
neither leaving their wheels. Ii
was one of those places, caused by
q local shower, where one drives
from a safe, dry road into the
mud almost before he is aware OF
the change, and this was made L
more SO by being just over NIL
from them, and they were skld-
ding ere they had time to halt
or chains or take other precau-
ton
