Capt. Dawson Resigns

Last Monday evening at the Aimory
Captain {. A. Dawson announced 70
the members OF the local National
Guard unit, which he has commanded
for the past three years, his intention
to retire from active work with the
organization, and Tuesday morning
he mailed his resignation to the Ad-
jutant Generals office at Madison.
The work of organizing National
Guard unit in River Falls was taken
up by Captain Dawson and other ex-
service men in January, 1920 The
cooperation extended to them by bus
mess men and others in our city was
so great that the unit was granted
Federal recognition by the War De-
partment on February Is, 1920, with
an enlisted strength of one officer and
fifty-three men, as Co. "a" 1st Sup
NV Train, Wisconsin National Guard.
At that time the Syndiate Hall was
used as an Almory. The boys were
forced to drill for several months
without uniforms or equipment, but
the spirit of the organization was so
good that they were quite well train
ed when their uniforms did arrive and
were able to attend the summer en-
campment at Camp Douglas the first
summer and make an excellent record
for themselves.
Captain Dawson commanded the
unit as a First Lieutenant for some
thing over year, as the only officer.
Then, on April /, 1921, Co. "a" LIST
Supply Train passed out OF existence
as unit in the Wisconsin National
Guard. being replaced by the l07th
Ammunition Train, the present des-
ignation of the local unit. At that
time Lieut.. Dawson was promoted to
Captain, and Louis S. Doolittle and
Kenneth S. White were appointed re-
spectively to be FIRST and Second
Lieutenants in the new organization.
The organization moved into its
splendid new quarters over the Jen-
son & Halsted garage during the fall
of 1921 and has been there ever since.
Captain Dawson gives as his reason
for resigning, the press of his pro-
fessional duties as physician. He
leaves the National Guard with re-
greet, but as ha. has accepted an ap-
pointment as Captain in the Offic
ers' Reserve Corps, he will not with
draw entirely from military activit-
les.
During the three years which he
has been connected with the Wiscon-
sin National Guard, Captain Dawson
has srlcceeded in building up an or
ganization in River Falls which is
generally conceded by National
Guard authorities to be second to
none in the state as military or
SdnlZdliOH. he has DeeH uHliIlIiS III
his efforts and has given freely of his
time and energy to make our local
unit success.
The boys in the 10th Ammunition
Train all feel keenly the loss occas-
Toned by the retirement of Captain
Dawson, but are resolved to "carrv
on" in the same old way, as they
know he wants them to do.

DEDICATE BIG ROCK TO MEMORY
 0FW. I. TOLCH, ONE OF FOUNDERS
 OF CAMP OF SCOUTS NEAR JUNEAU

Boy Scouts, goo I fortune placed upon Channel who was a lover of boys and a lover of nature, as we'll as an engineer by procession. and ms foot steps were lead to the hillside of this beautiful mountain. His trained eye quickly caught the vision of a Scout camp nestled al the foot of Mt. McGinnis amid the towering trees and beside the sparkling noun tain stream with Mendenhal glacier, one of Gods most beautiful crea- tions, reflecting it's snow-white sur face upon the whole landscape of our camp. So enthusiastic was this gentleman over the possibilities of this camping site that it's selection was soon adopted. We then see that same gentleman-that great friend of the working with the labor of his own hands to place this camp in order for the Scouts. You Scouts who have been to camp well realize the great sacrifice of time and strength which he made for you.
 Memories of Kind Deeds
 This year the closing days of our camp was made sad by the news brought to us of the sudden death of this beloved friend of all Scouts. MT. Weinand T. Tolch. No longings or regrets of ours can bring him back, and while we mourn the fact that our friend could not have been left to continue his work for the Boy Scouts, yet we have a peculiar joy in the thought that he has left us memories of kind deeds which will be an inspiration to us through out our lives.
 Knowing the unassuming life of MT. Tolch as we did. we feel that he would not wish us to build monu- ments to perpetuate his noble deeds, but the Troop committee of the Boy Scouts of Juneau have thought it fit ting to name and consecrate this big rock, situated in the shadow of our Scout camp, as "Tolch Rock" in memory of MT. Tolch. This big rock

The Alaska daily empire., 1923-06-23

Yesterday afternoon the members of the Troop Committee of the Boy Scouts. a detail of Scouts and sev- eral citizens, make the trip by auto to the Boy Scout camp at Glacier Glen on Mt. McGinnis, where with simple, yet impressive ceremonies what is known as the Big Rock was "Tolch Rock" in memory of Vein and T. Tolch a former member of the Juneau Troop Committee and one of the founders of the Glacier Glen Boy Scout camp.
 The rock which was given an of ficial name yesterday is an immense boulder located on the trail to the Scout camp and marks the end ol the automobile road to the camp. Ii has never borne any other name than that of the Big Rock, and it was most fitting that the Scouts should have thought to name this rock after MT. Tolch, who was so largely instrumental in the organization of the Scout movement in Juneau and contributed so largely to he work of establishing the camp site.
 Dedcatory Address
 An inscription was painted upon the face of the rock reading, "Tolch Rock-a friend of the Boy Scouts.' Assistant Scoutmaster M. S. Whit tier conducted the dedication cere- monies and paid a high tribute to the life of MT. Tolch. He said in part:
 Mister Scoutmaster, Members of the Troop Committee, Boy Scouts and Friends:
 "As we are journeying home from the pleasant camping grounds of the Boy Scouts at Glacier Glen. It is indeed fitting that we should pause moment to consider on what ac- count, and by whom this pleasant camping site was made possible.
 "A year ago when the troop com mittee of the Boy Scouts of Juneau was casting about for a suitable place to establish summer camp for the
The Alaska daily empire., 1923-06-23

at one time doubtless formed a part of wonder mountain. Broken away from it's parent body and rolled and ground by the action of the mighty glacier, 1t was finally cast upon this spot. We doubt not if this rock had had the power to think and speak it would hove complained that it had been torn from the natural environment and left alone and ap parently useless upon this spot. And yet we see how time has made it a useful guide upon this trail. We look for this big rock as we as- cend the mountain to our camp and when we reach it we have a feeling of security. for we know we are on the right trail
 Comparison
 To-day I see a wonderful compari- son between this big rock and the life of our late friend. MT. Tolch. He was once part of this great mass of humanity, and we see him tolling for its hetterment and for the happiness of those with whom he came in contact You are all too well acquainted with the many inspir- ing virtues in the life of MT. Tolch to make 1t necessary for us to again bring them to your attention. His devotion to his home and loved ones; his attention and earnestness in his business: his uprightness in his busi- ness dealings: his thoughtfulness of others are all outstanding memories we cherish of him May I say that they are guiding stones, like this big rock. along the trail of life. If we, and particularly these young Scouts, will endeavor to exemplify these no- ble virtues in the life of MT. Tol'h h., we will not go far astray on the trail of life. e.xa
 Solid, immovable, this big rock defies the elements to change it's character of position. So was the life of our departed friend. Always solid and immovable from the path of restitude he endeavored to carry out the 12 great principles of our Scout law.
 Rock Is Dedicated
 Let us therefore now gather around this big rock. and as we place our hands upon 1t, on behalf of this committee, and in loving re- membrance of MT. Weinand T. Tolch, the great friend of the Scouts, now name and dedicate this as "Tolch Rock" And may the Great Scout mastef of all good Scouts have him, our beloved friend, in His Holy Keep ing"
 After the exercises at Tolch Rock the company iourneyed on up to the camp where a supper was prepared and the evening spent in the beauti- full camp site overlooking the Men denhall Glacier. ,.
