Boy Scout organization was observ-
ed last night at the Baptist church.
Representatives from each troop in
the city were present. Mr.. Mcleod
gave brief survey Of the organi-
cation stating the purpose of the
scout movement. Mr.. Mcleod en-
phasized the fact that the boy life
of our country cannot be neglected

attitude in the past. There is 20
' need more urgent than for business
and professional men to consider
the welfare of the boy life of the
community enough to give some of
their time to them, Mr.. Mcleod said.
The pastor, L. r. Johnson, spoke
on the topic, "Getting Off on the
Fifth Floor" emphasizing the nee
of the scouts sticking to the troop
till the final objective is reached,
namely, "good, efficient citizenship"
Special music was rendered by
