Scout Commissioner Hutton read
the following report to the first an
nual supper and meeting of Maui
Council, Boy Scouts of America.
To the President, officers and
Members of the Maui Council,
Boy Scouts of America.
This occasion marks the first real
Council meeting held on Maui. There
have been meetings held previously,
but there was no real organization or
concerted action making towards
genuine Scouting as called for by the
National Council at New York.
Eventful Year, 1921
1t has been an eventful year., as it
was the ushering in of a higher sense
of community obligation and demand
ing the best in leadership and SER
vice. 1t has been hard up hill work
as conditions have been ever chang
ing, demanding adaptations to
meet these conditions.
The Program
1t was the case of selling the Boy
Scout Program, not only to the peo-
pie of Maui but TO the boys them
selves. Many attempts had beer
made to organize and hold scout
troops and in many cases excellent
work had been accomplished, but ow-
ing to the lack of cooperation and a
good strong Council 10 keep in per-
sOnal touch with the troops the move
ment failed.
Leadership
1t has not been difficult to get the
boys interested in the Scout program,
but the great difficulty has been TO
get n right class of men to give of
their time as Scoutmasters. The
Boy Scout who takes the solemn obi
cation to keep himself physically
strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight, has set for himself a stand
ard that will hold him true to the best
that is in him. This calls for a lead
ership of high ideals and unselish
character. We have a number of this
type of men on Maui who would make
ideal scoutmasters. The problem is
to get them to see their opportunity
for a splendid service to the boyhood
of u community.
We are very fortunate in having
with us now a few of the men who
headed troops during the strenuous
times, and today they are at the head
of the procession.
The Gang and the Leader
Boy are naturally gangsters. What
live, ~wide-awake He boy is satisfied
to stay at home or to dawdle about.
He Graves company like others of his
kind. This is the problem for us to
solve for him. What kind of a gang
shall he hive up with? See that he
gets into a gang that is under the
leadership of the right kind of a gang
leader. The Boy Scout Troop is the
answer.

1921 and Before

In November, 1921 there were
about four troops who were doing a
half hearted sort of program. No
specially arranged program being
carried out and troop leaders or scout
masters were continually changing.
Naturally the boys were either dis
gusted or discouraged, and the troop
rapidly died.
Two of these troops in Waikiki dis
banded. At Puunene the program
had been headed up by a couple OF
earnest and thorough men and this
troop is now one of the best on the
island.
Lahaina troop is a remarkable
troop. 1t has struggled On for at
least three years, many times without
a scoutmaster. Today it has a mem
bership of over forty-four scouts, and
though without a scoutmaster at the
present time, the interest is so keen
that the assistant scoutmasters with
the help of the commissioner are
holding them together, in grea form.
Scoutmasters
Too much praise can not be given
to the men who have headed up the
troops and given of their time and in
many cases money.
They have stood by their troops
through all its ups and downs. Sacri-
fees have been made and discourage.
ments overcome. In no case has any
n been asked to contribute to the
upkeep of these troops. They earn
their own money to pay for their uni
forms, flags and equipment. This is
the idea as fought us from National
Headquarters. Thrift, each scout to
stand on his own feet.

Registered october 1921 with a

Spencer the scoutmaster of this troop
was formerly a scout and scoutmas-
ter in Honolulu. His heart is in the
work and his scouts are catching his

has the record of getting his second

are still tenderfoot at the end of a

PRODUCTION OF
:. PIGS MOI Longer !.
RISKY BUSINESS
By c. M. McAlister.

have already told you about
the general hog situation of the
country as regards the number Of
hogs available. To summarize, the
conditions at the first Of the year
were a distinct shortage of hogs
in the western part of the coun-
try and the eastern part of the
county, with normal supply in
tho middle west. This condition
made 1t appear that our Pacific
northwest farmers could safely go
into the raising of hogs at this
time without fear Of over produc-
tion for quite some time.
A new situation has arisen
which makes the hog shortage of
the country appear even more pro-
nounced. The middle west has
been looked to to produce an enor-
nous supply Of hogs for market,
and it was hoped they would even
exceed their usual large quota.
But something has happened. The
Poland China Journal, looked up
on as an authority on matters per-
tanning to swine, has a special ar
ticle in their publication of April
10, under the heading "He We
Fed Too Much Corn" 1t appears
that with their large amount of
cheap corn in the middle west
farmers have used 1t too freely
with their breeding sows, with a
result that the pig loss in farrow-
ing is tremendous. They say in
their article: THE death rats
among little pigs this spring Is so
extensive that 1t has already be-
come menace to the country, as
q shortage In the pig supply is a
strong probability. Two weeks
ago the Poland China journal
stated that the losses had been
heavier than usual, ana Nar4e..
its readers to do everything in
their power to save the crop. Since
then we have received hundreds OF
reports Of the spring pig crop and
what was thought at first to be
possible exaggeration OF the stu
alton has turned out be reality.
The pig crop is reported short in
all but few localities"
Reports indicate that even in
our Pacific northwest this same
condition exists"to some extent on
account of the late spring and un-
faovrable weather. I feel that this
situation means a great deal to
the farmers of the Pacific north
west. 1t becomes more and more
apparent that hog production con-
ditions throughout the country are
such as to guarantee beyond a rea-
sonable doubt profit from the
