A clam hasn't thins: on Troop 8
when it comes to keeping their mouths
shut. AT least that is what is expected
OF them. | suppose some OF you birds
are wondering what the dickens the
matter Is with me? Well. to relieve
YOUR minds I'll just say that we've
something up our sleeves and have
got to keep 1t quiet, for the present at
least. Take 1t from me, you fellcrs of
Troop J had better keep all those
secrets to yourselves, or-you might
get maltrclttd. II IL comes to publtca-
tlon. shucks. ! could fill this whole
Page with some OF the best plans that
any scout or anyone else ever heard
OF.
..-a held one Of tho pcppicst meetings
OF tho year last night, not only peppy.
hut also very interesting. Jimmie Sapp
seems to have fallen for some little
maid. Ch.'s as bad as George Pattec.)
and the meeting did not seem to inter
est him much. as he kept pulling out
hcr picture to gaze upon It's fascinat-
ing charms to gulp down big draughts
OF air. swallow hard three or four
or Ave times and then daydream
awhile. Aside from all thi. he was
about as usual. And as for Philo
Buck. he got a nose-bleed for whisp-
cring too hard tomorrow. Good
enough for you, sonny.
Then came the most important part
"
contest between patrols. The event for
this time was the fircman's carry race.
and as usual the Cuckoos took high
honors. You know. I'd like to make n
biz write-up about the race, but as i
am a Cuckoo myself 1t would not be
fair to take advantage OF the Flying
Eagles. Just because l am troop scribe.
But in the end. the winning patrol will
get the full benefit of this space.

II YOU had been Mt Troop SIS meet

lied that Troop . hasn't a .chance in
the meet. We surc have every event

only trouble will be that We arc afraid
II will be too one sided. Troop will
win everything.
Next meeting we are going to have
a debate between the Pine Tree Patrol
and the Beaver Patrol. The question Is
Resolved. that fire is more destruc-
tive than water" Is it? You just ask
