BOY scout ESecuIlVe, Imperial GO.
One month having passed since
the organization of Imperial Coun-
ty Council, Boy Scouts of America,
it is only just TO the men who are
supporting the movement both
with their time and money, tEat
we begin to measure results.
So far as we have been able to
ascertain, having had no report
from National; Headquarters as yet,
there were three troops of Boy
Scouts in Imperial County when the
local council was chartered; one in
Ell Centre, sponsored by the Rotary
Club, with F. s. Lake as scoutmas-
ter; one in Brawley with u. s.
Richmond as scOutmaster, and one
in Holtville, with Rev. Geo. Taylor
as the scoutmaster, sponsored by
the Friends Church, about SIX
miles from Holtville.
Many New Troops
Following is the record of the
work of organizing troops under
the new Council up to this time;
Troop |, Calipatria, sponsored by
American Legion Post 1876; Will
liam j. Young, scoutmaster; Ladi
mir Mashin, assistant.
Troop ., Brawley, sponsored by
grammar school board; Leighton r.
Stewart, seoutmaster.
Troop 8, Brawley, sponsored by
grammar school board; A. s. Full
ton, scoutmaster.
Troop l, Brawley, is also sponsor
ed by the grammar school board.
Legion Sponsors Troop
Troop /, Calexico, sponsored by
Goree Lake Post No. 80, American
Legion: C. A. Vandusen, scoutmas-
ter. This is troop which had
been previously chartered, with c.
E. Markey as the scoutmaster, but
its charter expired in April 1922
It's application is for re-registra-
tion, with Mr.. Vandusen as its new
seoutmaster; Mr.. Markey felt that
his business interests would not
permit his continuing the work an
other year.
Troop 2, Calexieo, sponsored by
the Rotary Club; Thos. X. fglesi-
as, scoutmaster, -, and David Keep,
assistant seoutmaster.
Troop 8, Calexieo, sponsored by
the Community Church, A. w. Me
Farland, seoutmaster; one patrol of
the troop is composed of boys
from Jasper school, about six miles
from Calexico.

NO QUORUM, SO
COUNCIL DON'T
HOLD MEETING

Any delegation of citizens from
the south end of the city who in
tended to be present at last night s
scheduled meeting of the city coun
eli to protest against the remov-
81 of trees because Of the new curb
ing being installed by the city,
failed to materialize and would have
been unable 10 accomplish anything
if they had put in appearance, as
the council failed to meet. Mayor
Will 5. Fawcett and Councilman
Charles f. Pitzer, are on
the sick list and Councilman
George W. Anderson is out of the
city, making it impossible to obtain
quorum and the meeting was post
poned. Despite considerable talk on
the tree subject, not citizen was
seen about city hall at the hour
scheduled for the meeting, who
seemed TO be waiting FOR a chance
to recite, Woodlaan, Spare That
Tree.

80 to 200 Scouts
From available records, there
were So registered Boy Scouts in
Imperial County when the local
council was organized; there are
now approximately 200 new scouts.
The troops are being augmented all
the time by new applications, so
that no stated figures would be
exact. These figures in comparison
with other figures in new fields are
very gratifying, but there would
be many more new scouts if the
leaders could have been secured.
This is the problem with which
the scout executive is confronted
everywhere, and in this regard I'M
perial county is no exception.
Each of the 10 troops has a scout
master, and seven of the troops
have assistant scoutmasters, which
is very creditable showing and
these men should be commended fol
the work they are doing. May we
not take this opportunity to ap-
peal to the men who have the qua
iifications of leadership to follow
the example of those men? We
need you now.

I confess, my dear Jack, that I was
rather glad IL rather selfish, to know
that you were lonely in Hollywood
without me. Among so many Of the
beautiful girls whom you have de-
scribed so enthusiastically. one would
hardly think that you would want
even me.
know of course that great for
tunes are made in Hollywood and in
the business that you have taken up,
and I am very glad If you are hap
by in your new work. / have al
ways been told that Hollywood was
a very beautiful place, and am quite
sure I shall enjoy it very much after
our postponed wedding, months and
months" ahead.
/ Remember Girl
remember that girl OF whom you
spoke, Dick, and Paula Perier is her
real name. She lived in Albany and
ago she was pointed out to me as the
most beautiful girl in the city. If 1
remember her rightly, though, there
was none of that understanding or
spirituality in her face which you
speak Of, but, my dear Dick, both you
and know that one is not born with
spirituality and understanding. One
has to acquire it-mostiy through
suffering and tears.
Do you know. dear, sometimes
think that people who do not under
stand are happiest. 1 shall be much
interested in your letters from Holly
wood, for the description that you
have given me Of some Of those
Ecreen butterflies makes me really
think they do not understand.
Do they seem happy, Dick7 Does
the girl without understandings and
spirituality in her face seem happier
than does your little Paula Perler
