SCOUT SAVES COMPANION

On the day of the following rescue. Harold Beal, thirteen-year-old scout of Westerly, N. r., was in swimming with five companions when one of the boys became exhausted while beyond his depth, and sank beneath the sur face. Beal saw his chum's predica- ment and started to swim towards the boy, who had come to the top and gone under the second time. When he came to the surface Beal grabbed him by the hair and started to pull him toward the shore. Another lad Of the party attempted to help Beal. but was pulled under by the struggles of the drowned boy, and Beal had to complete the rescue alone. When the rescuer and the rescued reached land the latter was resuscitated by methods taught the troop in their life saving work and soon the lad was able to go to his home without assistance. Scout Beal is an extremely modest hero and the story of the rescue would never have been told were 1t not for some of the witnesses who insisted the boys heroism be made known to his scout leaders.

SCOUTS AT WINTER CAMPS

A big thought in scouts minds at this time is winter camping. Camping with Its health-giving work and play is so vital part of scouts activi- ties, that the keen frosty air only serves to enhance the joy of life out of-doors.

SO CARS STOP
IN OUR PARK

flourish park is the scene of at
traction these evenings, and at times
gives the appearance of a small viii
lage in itself. Last year it was con-
sidered this popular park was heaV-
lily patronized, but this summer it
eeems there are more than double the
number of tourists stopping there
than in its initial year. Wednesday
night 3S cars camped in the park,
and from now on until the first of
September no doubt there will be
hundreds of tourists to take advan-
tage of this beautiful little place.
Mountain Homes tourist park is
something to be proud of, and some
day we hope to have one that can't
be duplicated anywhere. We hope
the time will come when the city will
see fit to install an electric range or
three or four electric plates, with free
electricity, which would be an added
improvement to the present arrange
ment. It's done in other cities and
towns, so why not here?
