teen merit badges as follows: Robert
Hefner, personal health, pubic health,
music. swimming: Chas. Rogers. per-
sonal health, public health, first aid;
James Dolman, music, swimming.

the swimming badge only; Roy Stew
art, Roland McCuller, Paul Phillips,
Robert Fox, Ray Dyer, Jack Came
ron.

session of the court during the next
week in order to qualify a number
of other scouts on various subjects
which they have been studying for
some time. After this has been done
the court will plan 10 meet twice
each month. the first meeting to pass
on merit badge tests and the next

Veterans Of Late War Who Were

The sword is Of an old model, which
was carried by troops under King

victim of this broad. sided assault Is
kneeling on the ground, clutching II
rifle and bayonet in his right fist.
He is apparently unable to rise and
