OF BOY SCOUTS
MOVEMENT HERE
ESTABLISHED IN 1910 AND
is NOW IN TWENTY-THIRD
YEAR; MANY ACTIVITIES
MAKE UP ORGANIZATION
COMMUNICATED

The Boy Scout movement in
Key West is now in its 23rd year.
Scouting was established here in
1910, the same year in which it
was brought over to this country
from England by William ID.
Boyce, of Chicago, who had been
impressed by a good turn done
him by a London scout.
Soon after the establishment of
the first troop in New York City.
the organization was set up in Key
West by Charles Ketchum and a
number of other citizens of this
city interested i'm the welfare of
the boys of this community.
The Boy Scout idea was new
then, untried and unorganized.
Scores of young men flocked to
this new organization with enthus-
iasm and readiness. In 1912.
Charles Sands was added to the
membership roll of Troop | i'm the
capacity of drill master and later
succeeded Mr.. Ketehum. who, for
business reasons, was forced to re-
tire from active service.
From that time on Troop was
headed by the competent leader
ship of Mr.. Sands, who proved
himself capable and efficient
leader. one who was respected and
loved by every member of the or
ganization.
From membership of only six
boys when Scoutmaster Sands en-
tered the work the troop at times
boasted as having over 100 active
members. The officers person.
nell of the organization was work
ed out according to u. S. Army
style and was recognized as one of
the strongest factors in the sue
cess of the organisation.
Scouting should be encouraged
in this community Its principles
are In accordance with every re-
hgien and should bee faudasnens-
al factor in IT, This work must
never be allowed &a die.

Time" in its issue of March
20, 1888, has a very interesting
article on "Termites," those de-
structive little pests familiar to all
Key Westers. The insects habitat
has been tropical and warm CHM
ates. but has oriented itself in
colder chimes, for northern cities
are now seriously infested for the
first time with termites.
The article follows:
"The termite is pallid. squashy
little bug which would be of no
Importance whatever were it not
for its depraved appetite. 1t likes
to eat wood. That taste makes it
immensely important to building
owners in tropical and warm tem-
perate regions. Termites do year
ly damage estimated at $4,000
900 to farm buildings in the
South. Seven years ago they be-
gan to alarm California. Last
week Entomologist George Ethel
bert Sanders of the American
Museum of Natural History sent
a shiver through New York City
by waking it to the fact that for
the first time it is seriously infest-
ed with termiets.
"There are over 1000 species
of termite, some 40. of them in the
United States. New York's variety
builds it's labyrinthine nests in the
soil beneath buildings, crawls up
into wooden beams and floors. It
eats from the inside so that own
ers are unaware of damage she'll
like or spongy timbers collapse.
First intimation young New Jer-
sey couple got was when they be-
held, through a gaping parlor
floor, their grand piano in the Gel
lar.

work slowly but thoroughly. New
York's invasion came three years
ago; whence, no one knows. Now
every section of the metropolitan
area is infested. A theater near

to interpret the 40 principal roles.
Three members of the original
Drury Lane cast were brought
from London to re-enact their
parts before the camera, and two
other London favorites were also
signed for leading roles.
In addition to the large cast of
principals, thousands of extras
found employment in the colorful
sequences which include number
of dramatic and historic episodes
and a graphic presentation of a
cross-section of modern day life.

wearing a khaki windbreaker,
brown felt hat and dark trousers.
The girls 8-year-old brother
saw her enter the car and told
his mother. The father, accom-
panied by the son, set out in pur-
suit of the car but was outdis-
tanced. He notified police when
his daughter failed to return in
o short time and a search was
started.
While the search was in prog
ress, the car bearing the child
stopped in front of her home and
as she got out, sped ahead. A
police car gave chase but lost the
car in the traffic.
Severe Cut On Thumb

said.

description and driving an auto
mobile similar to that said to have
figured in the attack was taken

two factions over the proposal to
concentrate all the Civil Works

a countrywide meeting of officials
at Hyattsville tonight.
In reply, Joseph CLANCY, district

county farm agent; T. j. Camfielc,
head of the Department of Labor'S

NIT plans for inclusion in the Civil

at a similar meeting a month ago
for the Public Works program, it
was said.

head, is said to be backing the
BeltSville plan.
Objection to the plan has been
expressed by lower county heads,
who feel that their labor should
not be transported from one end
of the county to the other daily to
get work. The Public Works pro-
gram emphasized the use of labor
in its home community.
Efforts will be made also to
speed the use of the money, which
has largely lain idle since its Ap'
preparation, it was said.
