MEDAL SOUGHT.

The heroic act was called to the
attention of Scout Commissioner
Arthur Michael, who commended the
work of the scout, saying that the
knowledge of first aid which enabled
the Riyas boy to- save the other was
gained in the scout training which
leaders gave the boys at st. Peters
orphanagc.
He said that a reward was due the
boy for his bravery and that several
persons had suggested that an at
tempt be made to get a medal for
heroism.
The youth will probably be COM
mended in official scout orders, but
something more substantial has been
suggested by scout leaders.
