SCOUTING IN SCHOOLS.

II has long been matter OF COM
mon knowledge that scouting can and
1oes work hand In hand with our pub
Tic schools, but II Is perhaps less well
known In how many OF the best pri-
vate schools OF the country, the move
ment Is established and operating sue
cessfully TO the mutual betterment OF
both the school and scouting.
Schools which foster scouting among
the pupils In their midst are Greenwich
academy, Pebble, Blair. Bordentown
Military institute, Perkiomen, etc. The
president Of one OF the largest mill
tary academies In the East recently
made the following interesting state
ment:
I'VE always have sixty and some
lines more students OF the school
who have come to use from boy scout
organizations throughout the country.
We find them to be our best boys.
and we have always tried to encour-
age them to keep their Affiliations
with their home organizations. There
always has been strong pressure on
the part OF these boys to have an or
ganlzatlon here. Therefore, with the
opening Of the September term. I wish
to organize a thorough going unit.
Amongst our teachers there are al
ways several who have been scout
masters, and we wish TO avail our
selves OF their training, making them
leaders Of the movement here. This
organization would be an entity sep
arnte from our regular military or
ganlzatlon. and in relations to the
school would be somewhat like our
fraternities, Y. NJ. G. AS. etc. We
would give them quarters and stlmur
late them by rewards. etc"

SCOUT WORK AT PUEBLO.

II ever scouts had an opportunity TO
test out their power to live up to their
motto "Be prepared" Is was during
the terrible period Of the Pueblo food
last summer, when practically every
scout and scoutleader within the dis
trict was on duty night and day In
the service OF the stricken community.
As soon as II was clear that the food
was threatening to be a serious mat
ter, Scout Executive Alverson got as
many older scouts and scoutmasters
as he could muster together, and plans
for Immediate action were made. In
addition to many phenomenal feats
OF life-saving the boys served as mes
sengers, established wireless booths In
canteens and supply stations, even In
the morgue itself; built emergency
bridges and worked on the temporary
lorries; opened their own headquar-
tiers for many refugees. found homes
for others, did guard duty, distributed
safe drinking water, shoveled mud, de-
lvered posters and proclamatlonB for
the board OF health. Indeed. there was

In the face OF the disaster.
On the east side the scouts took
complete charge OF the Western Union
stations. a dangerous service. as a
foot-brldge was the only means OF get
ting across the river for several days.
The kilograms were carried across the
bridge by scouts and the number OF
messages carried was an enormous one,
as can well be imagined.
Most Of the rescue work on the part
Of scouts was done In the lowest por-
lions OF the city, where the risk was
greatest and many a spectacular tale
OF life-saving Is recorded. Scoutmas-
ter Cary met his death In attempting
to save the lives OF two women In a
hoatlng house. his boat being violently
dashed against steel lamp-post. The
boys themselves were In constant dan
ger, but no one OF them ever turned
back from the task In hand. from any
considerations OF personal safety or
well-belng. Though many weeks have

! vancouver, b. C.,-The toll Of lives
lost In the flood which plunged down
the mountainside Friday evening,
virtually wiping out the town Of Brit
ania Mines on Howe sound and par
tally inundating Frazer valley just
east of here, reached thirty-six Sun
day. The property loss is estimated
at SEVERAL million dollars.
Fully half Of the 10 neat cottages
were carried away on the crest Of the
flood. Others were smashed TO pieces
by the onrushing waters and most Of
the remainder were still partially
submerged Sunday.
Four children are dead and ten 9TH
ers are reported missing. Ten Of the
dead and all Of the injured were
brought to Vancouver last Sunday.
All injured are expected to recover.
An energetic search for the missing
was made Sunday, but the work was
slow because Of the difficulties In
clearing away the wreckage. It Is
considered doubtful IL the bodies of
some Of the missing will never be
recovered, as they are believed to
have been washed into the muddy
waters Of Howe Sound.
Manager J. Donahue Of the Britain
mia mines Sunday described efforts
made by those on duty at the mines,
three miles back from the beach, TO
warn residents. When the railway
fill which caused the accumulatin Of
water in the hills gave way and re-
leased rearing torrent into the creek,
a warning Of the disaster was sent
over the private telephone lines Of the
Mines This message was received
by Miss Ellen Patterson, telephone
operator at the compressor plant In
the village. She rang everybody con-
nected by telephone, relaying the
miners message: "For Gods sake
get out Of your houses; flood coming"
Before warning could be understood
and circulated, the waters crashed
down, sweeping transmission lines and
plunging the village into darkness.
The waters had fallen 1000. feet In
their three-mile journey down the
mountain and smashed straight
through the center Of the settlement.
Britannia creek now runs through the
village itself, which is under several
feet Of water strewn with wreckage.
The only undamaged buildings on
the residential side Of the town are
the custom house, a moving picture
theater and amusement hall, and a
few houses. On the other side, n

were standing.

KEETON.TILLMAN.

On December 80, at $3.50 O'Clock
in the afternoon, Mr.. J. T. Keeton
of Grenada made Miss Bonnie Bess
Tillman, of Terry, his bride, Rev. R.
ii. Purser, an uncle of the bride Off
ciating.
The wedding took place at the
lovely country home of the brides
sister, Mrs. V. l.. Grantham, Safes
vile, Copiah County. The mother,
who makes her home with the diff
ferent ones of her married children,
and only few other very close rel
atives were present. The surround
ings and the occasion were in
thorough keeping with consummation
of the VOWS of this splendid couple
and were in absolute harmony with
the ideas and the tastes Of the lovely
character who fully realized the dig
nifty and the sacredness of the SER
ious obligations upon which she was
entering.
Mr.. Keeton is one of Grenada's
leading merchants and business fac
tors. He was reared about five
miles south of Graysport in the east
ern portion Of Grenada County, being
a son of the late j. B. .-Keeton. He
was trained "up in the way he should
go" and be it said to his credit that
he has endeavOred to walk by the
teachings of his parents. For per-
haps twenty years he has been a
resident of Grenada and the pass
ing days have but added to the num-
Der of his friends and showed to the
community more fully the splendid
elements of his character as a citi-
zen and as a man. Something like
ten years ago, he embarked in busi-
ness on his own responsibility and
has gone forward from one success
to another until today he is one of
Grenada's strongest business factors.
He is the type of man that makes
a good husband.
Mrs. keeton is daughter of the
late Captain H. D. Tillman, Of Terry,
one of the best families of Kinds
County. She came to Grenada about |
one year ago>as one of the assistants
IN the health work in this county, but
she was not here long before Cupid |

In loving memory of Eugene Dee
only child of Webster and Margaret
A. Goodwin, who died December e.
1920, age two years, five and a hall
months. Little did we think wher
all were so happy, here together on
Christmas day, that the grim mes
senger was even then waiting to
carry away the Youngest lamb of
our fold.
Eugene was wonderfully bright
and attractive child, and endeared
himself to all who knew him by his
cheerful and affectionate disposition.
He loved to attend church and Sab
bath school and went with his pa
rents every Sunday. He would Of
ten say: Mother Pm so happy"
During the two days Of his illness
love and skill were of no avail. God
wanted him. Only AN hour before
the end, he climbed into his dad

peatedly, then back to his mother
and did the same, saying: Mother
rock me to Sleep" And peacefully
went to rest. To the parents whose
hearts are crushed and bleeding,
whose fond hopes blighted and to the
many friends and relatives who low
ed him so tenderly, we can only as
sure them he is now "Safe in the
arms of Jesus, safe on His loving
breast" He was laid to rest in the
Ashland cemetery in the family lot,
beneath a mound of beautiful flow
