SCOUT FIRE FIGHTERS

Twenty six Cashmere (Wash) boy
scouts, with their leaders, started In Il
big truck for an overnight camp, an
all day trip which landed them in the
beautiful Squakane creek valley at
nightfall. They erected their shell
ter tents, had a big feed and
jolly campfire pow-wow. Short
ly after taps a scout reported
fire visible down the canyon.
In less than 80 seconds the troop was
in formation ready for action. The
Red Cross patrol under Senior Patrol
Leader Gail Phillips was sent down
the canyon with instructions to leave
two scouts at the sawmill a mile
away, another two at another point,
etc, so that as soon as the fire was
located a message could be relayed
back to camp. Meanwhile two other
patrols were equipped for fire fighting,
and special orders given.
A few minutes later two boys of the
first patrol brought back word that
It was the mill which was on fire, and
that they had left the other six scouts
in the thick of It, One of the assist
ant scoutmasters and IL few scouts
were left to guard the camp, as 1t was
surrounded by valuable timber which
might catch fire.
ScOutmustcr Chichester and Assist
ant Brnggons arrived at the scene OF
the disaster in short time with an
eager squad of workers The few
men in charge at the mill had about
given up hope of saving anything from
the flames, but the boys formed
bucket brigade from Il nearby creek
to the lumber piles, and by means OF
wet sacks put out new fires, which
kept starting, while another crew
wrecked the high tramway which was
acting as fuse and leading the fire
from pile to pile of lumber. BY 2
Il. m. the fire was under control. The
mill and large amount Of lumber
had been destroyed, but thanks to the
efforts Of the scouts, two buildings,
some furniture, two or three heavy
wagons, and over 100000 feet Of lum-
Der, some $1,000 worth in all, were
saved. A weary but triumphant lot
Of boys hiked back to camp, leaving
two of their number to patrol the fires
until daylight They did not climb the
mountain the next day, as had been
planned, but nobody was disappointed,
as the troop had had enough thrills
and hard work for one outing.
The work Of the scouts received
much well deserved praise and the
president of the lumber company
whose property they had saved pre-
scented the troop with $50 check in
appreciation of the remarkable good
turn, a gift that was accepted with
the understanding that the money
would be used to purchase needed
equipment.

SNOW ON COUNTRY HIGHWAYS
Removal Problem of Greatest lmpor
lance Because Of Greater Use of
Motortrucks.

The snow removal problem Is Of in.
creaslng Importance because of the
greater use Of autos and motortrucks
which find it very difficult to travel
through drifts and deep snow. In
most states II Is the duty of the coun-
ty or local rond officials to remove OBJ
structons on the highways and snow
drifts certainly are Instructions, says
Farm and Home. Excellent advice on
this matter Is given by the Iowa high
way commission as follows:
Just how much money can be used
for this class of road maintenance is
entirely up TO the individual road Of.
fetal TO decide. He must also decide
whether II is necessary to keep the
road open at all times for automobiles
on only for team traffic. In deciding
just what to do about snow removal,
the character of the road and the
nature and importance of the traffic
to the general public must be deter
mining factor
Road officials should not be
stampeded in the case of heavy SHOWS
by insistent and angry demands that
all roads be Immediately opened for
traffic. Sometimes an attempt to
open all roads for immediate use by
automobiles after exceptional snow
storms, might cripple the county or
township road funds for the entire
year. 1t costs money and lots OF II
to remove snow, so the road official
must use the best Judgment as to Just
how far he can go, always keeping in
mind, however, that no road should
be allowed to remain entirely closed
to traffic for any undue length of time.

Christians Best Asset,

The Master taught largely by His
example, and so must His disciples.
Character is the Christians best evil
dental asset; the practice of religion
authenticates its formal creeds. When
men see the Sermon on the Mount"
walking around on two feet, when
Matthew deals honestly at the re-
celpt of custom, when Boanerges be-
comes gentle and centurion exacts
no more than is appointed to him by
lawful authority, "religlon" takes on
a new aspect in the eyes of humanity,
and shines with a halo Of beauty. The
man who, In the Pauline phrase, daily
presents himself as living sacrifice
is the truest friend of the faith and
ablest advocate Of Christianity

Now that the motortrucx has been
developed 1t is nothing less than a
crime for highway engineers to de-
sign and build and spend the states
money for anything other than SUBJ
stantial road. Delaware, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut and other
progressive states are realizing this
fact and are building more concrete
roads or roads with q concrete base.
