WOMAN'S LIFE
SAVED BY WORK
OF BOY SCOUTS

Lincoln, Neb.-A weeks night and
day patrolling in two hour shifts
by IL members of local Boy Scout
troop, cautioRiRg and derouring
traffic and passers-by in an effort to
retain absolute silence surround
ing house in one of the city's bust
est districts, resulted in saving the
life of Mrs. M. E. Gardner.
Declared by her physician, Dr..
]. M. Mayhem, to be near the point
of death, resultant from an attack
of poisoning and nerVeus collapse,
Mrs. Gardner was given but a few
days to live unless removed to a
seclusion of strict quiet Removal
was impossible as the noise from
traffic through closed doors sent
Mrs. Gardner into commissions.
An appeal was made by DR.. May
hew to the mayor of Lincoln. The
mayor referred him to the police de-
partment. Inquiry at the police de-
partment elected the information it
had no patrols to spare and could do
nothing for him. The suggestion
was made, however, that the Boy
Scouts be considered.
The result was that Ray Bolar,
scoutmaster of Troop 81, called his
squad together and laid the appeal
before them. They unanimously de-
cided to aid. The troop was organ
lied, one boy being stationed on
either side of the house to stop all
passers-by and warn them of the
situation. The patrol was extended
to the street and was maintained in
shifts of two hours.
Not until Mrs. Gardner was on
her way TO apparent recovery was
the patrol relieved
Perhaps the boys of Troop 81
would have preferred to earn their
good deed by carrying out children
from a burning building" Scoutmas-
ter Bolar says, but it is seldom in
our daily lives that a life is saved
in such melodramatic fashion"
A special recognition and medal
is being urged from national head
quarters of the Boy Scouts by sew
eral of Lineeln's prominent men.
