SCOUTS PREPARE .F0R BETTER WORK FUR BIRMINGHAM
John McCleary Is Made Chair man of Activity, After Long Experience in Mem-
 phis, Tenn.

An organization which shall put greater efficiency and broader train ing into scout work is being formed in this city.
 As local chairman for the work. Dan B. Dimiek has appointed John McCleary who is manager of the Virginia Bridge and, Iron company in Birmingham.
 McCleary is perhaps better quail fled for this particular activity in scouting than any man in the city, having been scout commissioner of the Memphis locahAcouncil from 1913 until May of this year, when he came to Birmingham as head of the Virginia Bridge plant.
 Outline Work
 The distinct phases of the organi- zation work as it has been outlined by Scout Executive Roland L. Shine is as follows: Extension 0 fthe in- fluence of scouting into undeveloped territory by the organization of new troops. Assisting district commis- sioners, In cases where there may be need local troop leadership, and by stimulating troop committeeman tO dii dCtiNt lHbtTcSL ana pdTllClpd- ton In troop activities. Recruiting. in cooperation with scout masters, troops to full strength and assisting them In popularizing and making ef- fective their troop programs. To work with the idea in view of put ting Birmfngham's scouting ahead as compared with other sections of the country
 Has Experience
 In developing this important pro- gram for the local council McCleary comes with wealth of experience in similar capacity from the Mem phis council It was largely due to his leadership that certain methods of developing troop competition among the Memphis troops was af- fected. By fostering the work there as commissioner he gave leadership to many important phases of the work. including their large field day programs.
 McCleary was present at the meet ing of the executive board Friday night of the Birmingham council, where he outlined the work he hopes to accomplish.
 J. D. Topping, assistant scout executive of the council, will be as- signed the major portion of his time handling the work of the organiza- ton commission for he next 10 months.
 Glad to Lend Aid
 McCleary declared he felt that work of an organization commission was one of the most important phases of the local councils labors and he was glad to be permitted in. Dimick said scouting was fortunate In get ting McCleary. and that he felt it would be only short time till the commissions work would be felt in every phase of local scouting. McCleary declared of this city: "Birmingham's strong scout or- ganization with such splendid men giving leadership in all departments of the work ranks we'll alongside other councils of the country. The commissions work should increase membership locally and strengthen troops generally. We hope to be- gin work immediately. as other members of the commission will be chosen at once.'
