THE BOY SCOUTS

An evening of fun, feasting and en-
tertainment, interesting. instructive
and laughable speeches, marked one
of the greatest gatherings of boys
that Ocala has ever witnessed, when
the Boy Scouts gathered around the
table Saturday night, at the home of
the scout master for what proved to
be an extraordinarily successful ban
quet, a chicken feast, with all the fix
ings.
Picture to yourself a long white
table that is actually sagsing under
the weight of good things to eat,
with troop of Boy Scouts standing
at attention at their places, bright
eyed, healthy boys, full of life, whose
very faces radiate happiness, and you
have the opening scene of this eve
ming of evenings.
Rev. j. j. Neighbour asked the
blessing and the boys fell too with
out further orders. After belts had
been loosened a couple of times, and
the boys stopped eating of their own
accord, and while the empty dishes
were being removed to make room for
the ice cream, cake and candy, Capt.
Ted Drake held the interest of the
boys with stories of scouts, here and
in England, during the war and in
peace. His talk was interesting, in
structive and showed broad knowl-
edge of scouts and scouting. Capt.
Drake is at all times a most original
and engaging conversationalist. and
If the boys actions, attention and
general behavior are to count for
anything, he was at his best on this
occasion. Amid wild applause for
Capt. Drake the desert was served,
and after it was disposed of Rev. ].
]. Neighbour captured the boys
hearts and souls with one of those
elegant orations, combining useful
information and humor for which he
is becoming famous. His remarks
were creative and showed that to
"achieve" you must "try," and while
you are trying and achieving, you can
and should "enjoy."
Mr.. Neighbours talk was followed
by short scout meeting to award the
badges to the boys.
The boys part of the entertain
ment took the form of shadow show
contest, of which Benny Culverhouse
was the winner. with Wilbur Gary a
close second. The contest furnished
many laughs and brought out won
derful store of ingenuity on the part
OF the contestants.
During the evening the scout mas
ter took occasion to impress on the
boys that Rev. j. ]. Neighbour, Capt.
Ted Drake and Mr.. R. N. Dosh were
not visitors" but Scouts" and
members of the troop. The boys
said they hoped they would come
again, soon and often, and that is the
highest praise that can be given any
ore.
It's hard to say just where the fun
did stop, but all things come to an
end, so only too soon the bedtime
hour forced the gathering to break
up, and one more happy and prof.
table occasion passed into the list of
memories.
Special thanks are due Mrs. Ed
ward Drake, Mrs. E. w. Clements
