BOY SCOUTS

Scouting in Wrangell reached high peak last Friday evening when forty-four scouts answered to the official roll call. This constitutes the active enrolment. and records an increase of thirty-nine members oyer the initial membership.
 To facilitate the work the group has been divided into two troops. the Cubs and Senior scouts, which meet at 3:30-5:45 and 7:30-10, re- aae#tively, every Friday evening.
 Fall work began with only five members: Whaley. Tozier, Gurr. Calvin, and Richfeld. and has, sole Ny by their initiative. been built up to its present strength in member ship. But with the influx of Se- nior high school students to the group il became necessary to replace ne originally elected three patrol leaders with older and more experi- enced leaders who could better as- eist in the training of the patrols. This was resorted to only after the energetic younger troop leaders found their efforts futile in meeting the requirements necessitated by the addition of the older fellows.
 As a result. troop number one will be headed by Ottesen. with Eng strcm assisting; troop number two will be under Wheeler. with Cun- ningham as adjutant Wheeler will still hold the place of senior patrol leader; Gurr will regulate the purse strings, handing over to Skelton the secretarial portfolio The official bugler is Lyle Bradley; while George Case will manipulate the drum sticks. AS soon as the colors are obtainable, a color guard will be appointed.
 The program of both troops will be somewhat similar in general out. line. The first hour and a half is equally divided between military drill. calisthenics, and the weekly business meeting. As soon as it ad- fourns interpatrol contests, under time pressure, deyising a stretcher. first aid bandaging, rescuing with the fireman's lift, etc., are staged. This is followed by scout games and basketball.
 The major projects dealt with so far hare been ire building. and first aid bandaging; which will be fol- lowed by semaphore signaling. Each scout is required to be able to do each of these.
 To stimulate interest among the Cubs regulation size Scout axe is being offered to the Cub scout who constructs the best bird house. The award will be made on the first of February, when the winner will be selected by a panel of impartial judges.

 William L. Paul, lawyer of Ketch- :Eaa, was present at the meeting and took part in the discussions. He advises the people of Petersburg to accept MT. Leet's proposition. The Petersburg Herald quotes MT. Paul as follows
 My opinion is that the fisher men and others ought to get be- hind the movement to have a cold storage plant at Scow Bay" said William L. Paul before leaving for Wrangell and Ketchikan.
 .'The fish buying game and colo storage business is hazardous one" he continued. and I believe that most of the fishermen will be UtlIEI Ou Ds the OIueI lei- low take the chance. The referen- dunn plan would mean that those who put up the money would have only common stock and would have to assume all of the risks of the management. For the other plau representative business men will pass upon the securities and will be in [ position to take control un- less their stock is. made good.
 With the Leet plan you will ge' a cold storage plant for sure, while with the referendum plan you will get nothing, and my advice to Pc tersburg is to get something. per haEs not just what you want. but still get something

The Paving Controversy

PR HE eternal fight between the crushed
stone and the gravel interests in Marion
County and Indiana has fared up again This
time it threatens to disrupt the State highway
organization.
Gravel men contend that the specifications
for Marion County roads are virtually closed
to Marion County gravel as an aggregate in
the mixing of concrete and that therefore the
stone men are given monopoly in the. bust
ness. They further contend that Marion
County gravel is just as good as crushed stone
for road making purposes and that it is
cheaper. The stone men, having things pretty
much their own way, are saying little.
Complaints also are being made about
specifications for streets in Indianapolis 1t is
charged that specifications are virtually closed
to everything but asphalt for paving purposes.
The difficulty with the whole affair is that
engineers differ in their opinions both as to the
content Of concrete for roads and as to the use
of paving material for streets within the city
The present difficulty is due either to such an
honest difference Of opinion or to rank favor
itism. AS in every case Of this kind there are
charges and counter charges-some of them
of an extremely unsavory nature.
In the interest Of the public which rl:st
pay the bills, some responsible agency, per-
haps representatives of the county commission
ers the board of works, the highway commits.
sion and the board of accounts should go into
this whole situation and straighten it out

ject and to Identification Of the senegambian
