Reading. Pa. scouts are maintain ing feeding stations for birds throughout tho country, particularly on Nit. Penn and Neversink noun tain. They have set up a number of feed houses which they visit every Saturday and Sunday to see that their feathered friends have a sufficient larder.

Fire-Bug to Fire Warden

At ten years his chief ambition was to light matches and touch them to anything that would burn. Ever know boy like that? At 12 years wild horses could not drag him from real fire. He loved to see them burn. Ever know a boy like that? Today he is a fire warden. That's his profession. How did it happen?
 One of the first ways that state governments utilized Boy Scouts was in transforming the youthful fire-fan into junior fire-warden. The idea worked out admirably. because the very essence of the Scout movement is the turning of boy impulses-~into channels of useful expression. And today, although the Boy Scout mo~e- ment is only 12 years old, organized

 Days Were Fine


 Such a letter as this shows how much the Boy Scout movement in Bessemer has meant to one boy, who now is continuing his work in Bir- mingham as assistant scout master. It must be a great satisfaction to a man who has trained such a chap to know that he has given the mak- ing" of another scout master to one of his boys.

 Four years ago there was only one troop of Boy Scouts in Bessemer. MT. John Shook was scout master. Oh, boyl but we did have a good time in those days! Mir. Shocks troop got so large a new troop was made It wasn't long until Bessemer had three active troops of Boy Scouts and Bes- semer was proud of them, too. Day after day and year after year we advanced in scouting. learning every day how to live as good, clean and true Scouts should live.
 We began to learn to be useful and to help the other fellow; how to be useful in case we were needed in any way. administer first aid. to aid iii fires. etc
 Four years has passed and now Bessemer has about four large and active troops of Boy Scouts. Boys who are real Scouts; boys who are leaders and try to follow the exam pies which they themselves set. Bes- semer does things for her Boy Scouts, They even have camp, of their own and every summer lively scene Is shown. Oh, boyl But the old swim ming hole Is still there We will always carry memories of our early days when we first entered scouting. Today we are more advanced in scouting and we can look back and see what lessons of good we have learned-lessons that will aid us in our future 1ife-lesSons that will help us to serve our community, fel- bowman and country to the best that f~ in ma

Both Saunders and Pike were all right except that Saunders had very paf>>ll sore on the side of his face before fhe fight. But that did not stop him. He sailed right in and won the first three rounds easily. The fourth was full of clinches and hard licks, and
 rather slow, neither fighter showing any fast moving about. The fifth opened up with some hard licks, and Saunders absorbed a heavy body punch and returned with left to the jaw. About the middle of the

 The bout was clean. and while no dazzling speed was displayed, both fighters showed training results. No fan complained of not having his moneys worth. The K. Q, came as a complete surprise. Saunders of fered no alibis, but was little lighter than Pike and had the bad face before the fight started. Both boys are to be complimented on the way they boxed, neither insisting on low punches.
