Pioneer Boys of Scout Body
 Growing Fast

Several years ago national head quarters. Boy Scouts of America, or ganized Q department of their work in order to reach boys in isolated communities or living in country dis tricts. It was apparent that a large number of the boys desired to use the program of. the official boy scout bers to organize a boy scout troop. In order to meet this demand, the scout executives throughout the country were organized to conduct examinations by correspondence, or to take time from their work to hear tests in the headquarters office for special cases. Likewise, national headquarters has large staff of CO., workers who are meeting demands of the pioneer scout.
 In making application to become a pioneer scout, the following are some of the questions which he fills out on his application blank:
 Are you an American born boy?
 Do you really want to develop in a program of citizenship training7
 Do you know that the boy scout program stands for character build ing?
 Are you willing to sacrifice any thing in your own life to develop character?
 What games of sport do you like best? (Give list of the ones you like).
 Have you ever been camping :? Would you like to go camping for a week or two this summer?
 Are you attending school or work ing?
 What grade were you in when you left school?
 How do you spend your leisure time?
 What books do you readf
 What are your favorite studiess
 Do you attend Sunday school or church?
 What denomination?
 Do you know that boy scout is a brother to every scout regardless of his faith?
 Are both of your parents living?
 Have you any brother or sisters?
 What work or regular responsfbil- ities do you have in your home?
 Name five or more books you have read in the past year.
 What magazines do you like7 What trade or occupation do you llke 10 lO4lOW stS d 4llc WoEk
 In other words, what national Headquarters wants is to get a word picture of the boys who want to be- come a scout and to encourage the lad to develop himself from a ten derfoot into second class and then into the standing of first class scout. After that there are several or more merit tests which will awak- en his latent talents and thereby he Ia 5,,f xrh; ;ob h. ability to do. In other words, it will help to steer and direct boy to doing things of, his natural liking I and make him a more desirable cit izen in doing the things which he likes to do best.

After all the others had left Jim Whining and George Morrison lln- gered in the boys dressing of the gymnasium, waiting for few boys who had not dressed as quick ly as the others.
 Poor old Tom, I sure feel sorry for him." remarked Jim as he was putting his football suit into his locker.
 Gee. Jim, it's going to be hard enough on the team alright enough, because anyone would admit that he's the best player we've got" answered George.
 ''Yes, and to think that it won't be long until he will be well enough to play again. Yesterday I asked Mir, Bennet why he scheduled for this game so soon. with Willingham Coi- lege. You know they've got a danday team this year and we need more practice. and he said that if was our only chance to play them this year.

Some people try to excuse neglect and abuse of their dog by saying that he is naturally hardy animal and must be kept strong and tough. There is some truth in this; but, if the animal has lost his hardihood through coddling, or never possessed any, because of having been raised indoors and petted excessively. then it is no more natural" for him to endure exposure and hardship than it would be for his master to trot around half clad like a Fiji Islander or eat raw meat like an Eskimo
 We marvel at the dogs intelli- gence, largely the result of his long. continuous association with man. yet sometimes forget that his physical nature too. must have undergone great change. Do not be satisfied with a knowledge of your dogs breed; when possible, know what Kind of life his immediate ancestors lived. If your pet comes of an in
 door family" dogs that exercised little and ate much, he will not be very robust. If you want him for an outdoor pal, be reasonable. as you would desire your parents to be with you under similar conditions and go to the hardening work gradually.
 It is not at all uncommon for dogs to suffer with cold in the win ter. Even the animal that has never beer inside much will feel sudden change in the weather. and should be provided for. Put some extra bedding in his kennel and see that

 Scouts. here's n mighty good friend of yours.
 You who are members of troops located in the northern part of the city. will immediately recognize him. He is W. D. Saunders. scout com missioner for the district including Norwood, North Birmingham md East Birmingham. For the present he Is netting as scout master for Troop B.
 Interested in Work
 Fellows, you know he is awfuiiy interested in scout work or he would not take all this responsibility upon himself. Hardly Sunday passes that he does not spend the entire afternoon with the boys of his troop. They go on hikes-lust for the walk and often to the, woods where they can study the lessons in nature that are necessary for ambitious chaps to become higher class scouts.
 MT. Saunders seems to be somewhat of a guardian angeP' for the boys in his neighborhood. On top of all his scout duties, he is actively engaged in boys work in the Norwood Meth odist church.
 Troop Better
 Since Mir. Saunders has been scout master of Troop 33. it has grown con- siderably in numbers, and those who are members have advanced rapidly under his leadership. By fall he ex- poets to have an entire troop of first class scouts. Even by the last of this month his plans are to have all second class. with a few more

some of the air holes which were necessary in the summer are clos ed If you have no comfortable kennel for your pet, bring him into the house for night or two until you can fix up outdoor quarters.
 Remember, too, that the dog again like you and me-will feel the same degree of cold far more at one time than another If he Is not very we'll or is too thin from over-exer- else, worms or digestive disorders. he will suffer l1eenly, perhaps when you, in your warm coat, are com fortable.
 Because dogs are known to trem- ble from nervousness or restraint at times, some people ascribe all trem- bling to these and similar causes Speaking generally. the average dog when idle. will get cold if the weather is such as to make his mas ter bundle up. If he has been run ming, especially if through streams, and is allowed to cool off quickly and sit around in a raw wind, he will chill. take cold, and probably be ill., just like person. Not a few hunt ing dogs have contracted catarrh in exactly this way.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-03-24

Ford day in Bessemer last Friday was great success, mainly because the Boy Scouts assisted in making it big success. The scouts went about Going police work. holding ropes dur ing the parade and other things. They proved to be of great service to Bessemer. and indeed Bessemer can boast that Birmingham has nothing on her when it comes to the scouts assisting in Sbig events. The Besse- mer scouts are becoming popular every day. and are making a great showing in their city. The people Of Bessemer see the need and advan~ ta ge of scout work. and indeed they are giving the boys all encourage ment and support.
 Had Contests
 The scouts also took big part in the different contests that were held during the day Troop : carried off all honor, beating the other troops
