News About
Boy Scouts
SCOUTS SAVE NEWsPAPER,

When the big sleet storms OF Feb
ruary 21-23 struck Brillion, Wis,
and held all that section In its
grasp, 1.-THE BriIllon News" plant
was put out Of business, deprived
Of both light and power. An IS. o.
s. was Immediately sent out, and
within a few hours. or to speak ex-
actly, Immediately at the close OF
school. Boy Scouts came trooping
to the newspaper office ready for
business-"And here we are!"
shouts the News in big type
on It's first page Of the February
oath issue. The editors give all
credit to the scouts for the face
that the issue was gotten out on
time: Only the strong young
arms OF the Brillion Boy Scouts
enabled US to turn the wheels Of
our newspaper press to enable US
to produce this issue and maintain
our record of no issue missed.
Thus have scouts demonstrated in
a new way what 1t means to be
prepared to meet emergencies.
