and Thrift and a National Honor!
Let's all do it.
"Dart-itis" Is very prevalent
among Camp Fire girls this past
month. The only way 10 make a

is to administer the target and darts

doing this we destroy the truth Of

works"
Perhaps with turkey and cram
berry sauce in mind, congress made
the suggestion nevertheless and
President Washington named
Nov. 26.
Various other national executives
followed suit Thomas Jefferson GER
tainly was one of them, for it is Of
record that a certain Connecticut
clergyman. in his Thanksgiving SER
mon. besought on behalf of the
Monticello sage. as "our president"
a goodly portion of the divine grace.
For wen, o Lord, thou knowest."
the worthy pastor reminded his
Diety. "how much he needeth It,"
However. a presidential proclama-
ton was by no means the invariable
rule of those days More often than
not the governors OF the various
states were left to issue proclama-
tons of their own, and this they
generally did, though not always for
the same day.
Finally. just after Gettysburg. Mrs.
Sarah J. Hale OF Philadelphia sent a
copy Of Washington's first proclama-
ton TO President Lincoln. urging
him TO issue one Of his own. Lin
coin did naming Aug 6.
Since then a presidential procla-
nation has been issued every year,
and with one exception the last
Thursday in November always has
been the day.

When Scout Wood saw his compan-
ion go down, he plunged into the
water and swan TO the drowning
boy. who had gone down twice.
After a struggle in the water, Wood
managed to secure a grip around
his companions neck and swan 10
shore with him. There Wood ap-
piled the Schaefer method of resus-
citation to the boy, who was un-
conscious, and within about . min
utes had his companion able to
stand.
Asst. ScOutmaster Frank Wood
ruff Of troop |, Ontario Calf,
while on a camping trip with some
OF his boys in San Antonio Canyon.
saw a boy who was standing on the
edge of a mountain stream lose his
balance and fall into the rushing
water. The Scoutmaster jumped in
after the boy and together they
were carried down the swollen
stream about 100 yards. over some
large boulders. and dashed over a
waterfall. Finally Woodruff was
able to gain footing on a large
rock and dragged the boy TO safety
with him. The scoutmaster held
the lad until help arrived from the
scout camp. The rescue party
threw out a rope which the scout
master tied about the boy, who was
brought to shore. He then. with
the help Of the scouts and the rope.
reached the land.
While on recent hike troop
OF Warren. AriZ., heard a moan of
distress. The noise seemed to come
out of the ground. Upon investiga-
ton the scouts found that a young
calf had fallen into a prospector's
excavation. and was unable TO get
out. The troop quickly tied their
scout belts together, and one boy
let himself down into the hole. He
tied the belt rope around the calf
and soon the other boys had the
little animal above ground and free.

Because Of the popularity Of the
travel hikes. little is known OF the
other % varieties" Industrial
hikes to factories. shops and ensi-
neering projects are valuable voca-
tionally and require careful plan
ming by Scout masters. Camera
hikes develop experiences with the
kodak and "A sense of taste in the
selection OF subjects to be photo
graphed. The night hike will prove
thriller" in many respects and also
give the young student a start in his
study of the stars. Educational hikes
have been developed to include
dad" in the program, and fathers
and sons now have a common
ground on which to meet.
