1t is with keenest regret states
Scout Executive Grove, that the Pa
louise council parts with the service
of Scoutmaster G. N. Curtis, who
leaves soon for Tacoma Council, Boy

replace in the community life and
will leave a void difficult to fill and
scouting will miss it's most valuable
friend. But we are all proud of the
fact that this man, who is the father
of scouting here and who has done
much toward making the Palouse
Council possible, was chooses as the |
scout executive for such respon-
sible position.
