BOY SCOUT REscUEs BABY

Boy scouts are more and more ac-
curing the valuable habit Of hap
pening along" when there is worth
while work to be done.
A negro woman carrying a large
basket of clothes and accompanied
by her two small children was recent
ly walking along in one Of the outly-
Ing districts Of Savannah, Ga. when
she came upon a railroad trestle. 1t
was a dangerous place for children
to cross unassssted, for the tide
water beneath was ten feet deep. She
instructed the little tots to walt for
her at one end of the trestle until she
crossed with the wash, and then re-
turned for them.
The woman soon gained the other
side. She had put down her basket,
and was turning for her children,
when she saw that they had not walt
ed for her and unescorted were max
ing the hazardous crossing. Sudden
.ly the small child, two years Of age,
stumbled and slipped through the
space between the ties, into the water
below.
Scout William McDonough Of Troop
IA, Savannah, at that moment hap
pened to be out on a hike alone and
had also reached the trestle. The
boy was In uniform and equipped with
pack, Ratchet. utensils, ETC., for
camping hike. He heard the woman
scream and saw her point to the sink
ing child. The scout hastened to the
side of the trestle. and despite the
encumbrance Of his equipment plunged
into the water, clutched the little one
and soon dragged him to the shore
Here McDonough applied first aid
and within few moments the child
revived.
Through no report Of the hero of
this rescue did the facts become
known. Casual bits Of information,
pieced together and verified. and also
the affidavit Of the negro woman made
before a scoutmaster, account for this
story Of splendid heroism.

EVERY SCOUT A CAMPER

The year-round slogan OF Every

174.470 boys enrolled in summer coun-
Gil camps Of the Boy Scouts Of Ameri-
ca. an increase of nearly twenty per
cent over the preceding year. with
thirty-five per cent Of scouts under
council Jurisdiction In camps. This Is
exclusive Of many hundreds and even
thousands Of individual campers who
are not recorded In official organized
council camps. Weekend, holiday. and
winter camps are attracting as many
and more enthusiasts. Winter outings
have become an inseparable activity
Of the outdoor program.
Older scouts. scoutmasters, and
camp leaders are finding adventure
and recreation through hiking, trek
cart, canoe, cycle, auto, boat, pack
train, mountain climbing, and explora-
ton trips. The keynote has been to
maintain the pioneer conditions with
maximum participation In every camp.
A wide acquaintance has been estab-
lished with outdoor organizations,
mountain clubs. and prominent travel
ers and explorers. Contracts have
been made with national and state
forests and parks. conservation and
forestry organizations. Definite service
and assistance has been rendered In
developing trails, fire lines, plant

progress is the extent to which win

tistics show that camps conducted
over week-ends and on holidays, such
as Thanksgiving. Christmas, Lincoln's

than the long-term summer camps.
