Halloween Party of
Tennis Club Is Jolly

Last Saturday evening the Wal
luku Gymnasium was the scene of
a most enjoyable Halloween party
given by the Settlement Tennis
Club. A large crowd attended and
the club realized a considerable sum
which it plans to use in putting its
courts into good condition.
The gymnasium was cleverly dec
oraed in proper Halloween style with
a profusion of witches, bats, black
cats and owls, while the dancers
wore gay caps of orange and black.
The basketball game which began
the evenings entertainment was "a
hot and close fight between the Maui
High School team and the Huelos OF
Waikiki. The result was in doubt
until almost the last minute OF play
ing, but the Huelos finally carried
off the game with a o oil ~ to
16. -
At the end of the game, Mrs. Ku-
newa's orchestra appeared and the
dancing began, while upstairs each
of the fortune telling booths attract
ed a steady sream of people. The
wheel of fortune, on which prizes OF
candy, whistles and snappers were
given away, proved TO be he larg-
est money maker of all. Another
popular spot was the refreshment
table where a group of Boy Scouts
dispensed punch, cakes and dough
nuts.

1t learns through doing. It's outdoor
craft enhealthens, deepens, and IN
riches boy life. Scouting is a process
of making real men out of real boys
by a real program-an interest-grip-
ping, growth producing, character
building program of activities. Scout
activities are of great worth in them
selves as well as in their by-products
of habits and attitudes.
Scouting is non-sectarian, though its
ideals are in accord with those of the
modern church and it is based upon
a pledged allegiance to the service of
God, and the brotherhood of man. 1t
builds better boys through influences
and ideals which operate from within

physically strong, mentally awake, and
morally straight.

American; we are all talking of the
Americanization of the people of these
Islands. Scouting is the cornerstone,
or rather foundation, the ideal move
ment to accomplish this result; it runs
through every phase of the work. To
be a Scout you must be American.
Meaning Of Scouting:
The Scout oath and law reveal the
spirit of Scouting. The Scout is ex-
pected and trained to "Be Prepared
and daily do Good Turns"
Scouting is a companionship way of
living. 1t values deeds above words.
1t builds character through habit and
citizenship through service. 1t devel-

proved way offered to organizations al
ready existing in the community.
It's scoutmasters primarily are to
help organize and give sympthetic
direction to boy activities and inter
ests.
Scouting is voluntary, yet purpose
full activity on the part of the boys.
b Scoutmaster is their friend, ad-
wiser, helper, companion and director.
The strength or weakness of the
troop n its activities lies in the man
in charge, the Scoutmaster. This be-
ing the case the appeal is made to
you as real live he men to give some
of your time to this great movement.
Maui has a great name and a record
for good works that she may well be
proud of. You are now called upon
to show the other Islands that we are
not going to lag behind in this great
movement. We want men, red blood
ed energetic fellows that stick till the
end. Men who will take hold of a
troop of real live, wriggling, squirm-
ing, fun seeking kids who want to do
a mans size job. One night a week
for instruction and at least one good
outdoor hike a month.
Don't say you do not know anything
about Scouting. Take hold; we have
the books and will see to it that you
get all the necessary instruction to
act as the adviser. Let the boys do
the work. You advise and help.
Scout Notes.
Steps are now being taken to thor
oughly ~reorganize all existing troops.
You will be expected to have all appli-
cations for membership of each scout
thoroughly and carefully filled out, all
records of tests, dues, attendance and
advancement sheets properly filled so
that we can take hold with a vim and
start in with real scouting. Your Com
missioner is at your service at any
time you may call on him.
All committeeman, councilmen and
officials will be expected to do their
part in this great work. The boys
need your presence to buck them up.
Set them a good example by being
prepared.
Scoutmasters and Leaders.
A Scoutmaster's and Patrol Leaders
school will be organized at once to
