BOY SCOUTS In
PARAC0ULD ARE
GIVEN SUPPORT
Weekly Sessions of Instruc-
tons Being Conducted
Parents Are Urged to
Take a Part.

The Boy Scout movement in Para
gould is being given very special at
tention by the business and social
elements and it is the ambition CT
many individuals who are devoting
much time to the organization to
make the Paragould unit 100 per
cent active and efficient. Consid-
cradle progress in that direction has
already been registered and with the
execution of plans in hand the goal
will be attained at no distant date
and the young fellows movement
in this city will be one of much
pride to the community. The under
lying principles of the Boy Scout
movement, the shaping of the youths
character it is designed to accom-
plish, should create a deep interest
in the undertaking and enlist the
hearty support of all parents and
the citizens generally. For young
man to lead the life of true Boy
Scout means that he will rise to
manhood with the right sort of a
Christian foundation Weekly ses'
,ions are being conducted at the
tY" for the purpose of intoxicating
the principles and the. significance
of Scoutcraft.
The session conducted at the ''Y"
last Monday evening was attended
by approximately forty members of
the Paragould unit, parents and
others interested in the great move
ment Upon that occasion a very
interesting talk by DR.. C. A. Har-
desty was a feature Of the session.
The doctor discussed and introduced
instructions of First Aid to the
Drowning" He gave his hearers IL
Illustrations of just how to proceed
in event anyone of them should ever
have occasion to rescue someone
water, methods of resuscitation and
the like. The speaker made his
subject very clear and it was APP
parent that his words were well

everyone should be amply posted
The saving of one life would repay
all the time and effort that may
be devoted to instructions and be
well worth all that may be done to
further the interests of the Boy
Scout organization.
Next Monday evening every
Monday evening thereafter, the Boy
Scouts will meet in session at the
'Y'' and upon each of the weekly
occasion some subject of importance
md of special instructions will be
discussed. topics that will tend to
create in the minds and hearts of
the youth practical information and
characteristics so essential to the
right type of manhood
Those who are giving active sup
port to the Scout movement are
especially interested in enlisting the
interests of the parents Of the boys

and because the only outside

Not from any humane motive,
not for any reason Of charity or

purposes do our former allies
