 We are going to be better scouts. We are going to do our dead level best to live up to the scout oath and laws and do our good turn daily. We are going to make our scout masters feel proud of us and above alive are going to show our new scout executive just what kind of scouts we are. We are going to make him feel proud of us.
 And another thing, we are going to attend our scout meetings more often and take an interest and a part In what goes on at the meetings.
 Fellow scouts. after all Is said and done, we are going to be better scouts than we have ever been--we are going to be more loyal and more helpful. Do these things and you will be surprised at the big results.

A LITTLE NEWS FROM TROOP 52, WOODLAWN

The boys of Troop 52, about the livest bunch in Slagtown, have cut and skinned nearly 100 logs, and they are piled ready for the new cabin. When that cabin Is finished, it will be about the best that can be built if it comes out like we want 1t to.
 The boys got back Friday because the grub was rather short, and many of them had work and studies or parties. They had fine time at camp with Assistant Hill and MT. Davis. ''big scout put did not for get to work.
 When the cabin is finished, we will most likely decorate the walls with flags, pictures. pennants. and put a comfy stove in 1t. The boys can gather enough stuff to furnish four or five cabins, and when ours is like we want it, we will be proud to show 1t to everybody from the Queen of Sheba to the Emperor of Tap. We will most likely have few business meetings before we start again on the cabin. because all the boys have to study for exams. When they are over. we can do anything we want to. Therefore, be prepared to hear about some of Troop 62's good work for the community in the next few weeks.

 Troop 57, with Troop 2s and some boys from Troop 52 as their guests, went to their cabin at Deaths Val ley" and had big barbecue. A good time was had by all who went. We played games and had several contests, and then We began to de. vour the barbecue. Oh, how good it was! We had the time of our lives and all of 1t happened all around our )hew cabin.
 We started home about 11:30 D. m. and we were about half way home when the whistles began to blow, running the old year away and blow Ing the new year in. We all got home about 12:45, tired and sleepy, but we all had had great fun.

PUBLIC MONEY SAVED
 BY SCOUT GOOD TURNS

An editorial in the Portland, Maine. Herald comments on tho fact that the police duty alone done by the Scouts in the city during the past five years has saved the taxpayers many times the entire cost of conducting the movement, since if 1t had been nee essary to have employed extra off
 cers, at regular pay to perform the services rendered gratis by Scouts during celebrations of one kind or another the bill would have been of no small proportions. The editorial goes in to remark that this police duty Is only a small part of the ac- tivities of the local Scout organiza- ton. that there have been hundreds of instances where Scout services have been requisitioned and In each and every case they have responded promptly, willingly, gladly. and per- formed their duties in a manner of which they may be justly proud"

 The 25th day of December had been heralded each year for hundreds of yeats before the Jewish era, and some learned scientists who have studied the question, say that the Jews borrowed this day from the northern tribes and, with tho help of missionaries. soon spread the story of the birth of Savior on this great day. Personally, I don't care to dis pute the word of those who have really spent their lives to discover the truth and give 1t to the world.
 Who can say that there is a more interesting question about the ac- tivities of the ancient sun worship pers than this?

Scout Talks About the
 Passing of the Old Year

Just think, scouts, time has moved up another year! The year 1921 can never come again. Time Is just that way. One wise fellow put 1t this way: To-day is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday" And he's about right. He put that saying in an advertisement.
 The year 1921 has been good for scouts in many ways. There are more boys in the organization, there has been more good work done. There Is great deal to be accomplished and under able leaders large amount of work has been done, and more can be done. An example of a really wonderful leader Is right in our own troop. Vile Is William l.. White, who has organized many troops, and kept a large troop to- gether for several years. He puts his scout meetings before his social dates, and 1t Is not often that he is absent. For his regularity he has been elected president of the Scout Masters association, a post which he

Did You Euer Knolu This?
 Some Data About tue Sun

If you didn't know this, 1t will be we'll worth your valuable time to read it. Not because I wrote 1t, but because 1t Is wonderful fact that Is not known as much as 1t should be, and which is worth . little thought.
 Hundreds of years before the year 1 the Scandinavian tribes, in what is now Norway and Sweden. had no god to bother them except the sum god. They said the sun was the ere ator of everything, and. that nothing could live without the sun. They were right about nothing being able to live without the sun. and they grew anxious when the sun went low In the winter time. In Norway and Sweden the sun goes almost out of sight, just a little fringe staying on the horizon, in winter time. There were no real astronomers, but there were men who could tell when the sun started coming back. This was just after December 21, now a we'll known fact. It was cause for great
