EXPECT INCREASE
IN SCOUTMASTERS
AT MEET TONIGHT

Tonight's smoker-supper for OIL
GERS Of the Moline Boy Scouts for
the purpose Of enrolling new scout
masters to engage in the scout
movement, promises to become a
big step toward the future Of scout
activities.
While no solicitation for scout
mastership will be made at to-
nights get-together event, it is
hoped that the present roll Of %
scoutmasters may be doubled as a
result Of the concerted drive for
new leaders. Five recruits have
already been enlisted.
One of the unique features of the
drive is that among those who have
agreed to take up the scout work
is a sea skipper" whose relation to
sea scouts is similar to that of
scoutmaster to the ordinary scout
troop. As new leaders are enlisted
more scout troops will be organ
lied, according to E. w. Woodcock,
president of the Moline scout coun-
Gil.
Tonight's scout message will be
impaired by DR.. A. ]. Artman Of
Chicago and John F. Freeman OF
Moline.
