A LETTER TO BE PROUD OF

A careless fisherman forgetfuI Of ex.
inguishing his campfire, caused the
irst forest fire Of the season in the
leighborhood Of Philipsburg, Pa. The,
ire was reported by state trooper;
scout spread the news; "a Philips
burg scouts rushed in autos to the
scene, and after two hours Of intense
work in which their fire rakes were Of
important help, the scouts extinguished
the fire.
This is but one incident in series
of forest fire fights which these scouts
have fought. E. J. kohn, sergeant,
Pennsylvania state police, commends
the Philipsburg scouts as follows:
"Philipsburg, Pa, April "a, 1922.
Capt. Thos. Horn, Scoutmaster, ~.
'Philipsburg, Pa.
Dear Sir:
1T is with full desire to praise
the work Of your well-trained and ex-
ceptionally brilliant squad of scouts,
which came to our assistance on the
tire-fighting line along the Tyrone pike
on Saturday last, that I am writing
this letter to you.
ITO begin with, they came fully
equipped for the work. Their knowl-
edge Of the work was excellent, and
they Immediately convinced us that
their hands were not tied.
During my experience on the state
force, l have witnessed considerable
forest fire fighting, but have never
witnessed the equal of these scouts
in courage, decision and ability. They
proved themselves to be much better
than men in obedience and quickness.
Their discipline was A No. 1, and
there was no buck passing or Stacking
among them. They went to work car
rying out orders and quickly accom-
plislled the eNtinguishing of the fire.
"At this time, am taking the pleas.
ure to both commend and thank your
scouts for their, very excellent work.
"Yours sincerely,
''E. J. KOHN,
Sergeant State Police"
