Boy Scouts Have
Successful Week
Activities Close with Bean Feed at
Community Club Room This
Thursday Night


The most impressive occasion of
National Scout Week occurred Sat
urday morning at HOO o'clock
when a mobilization of 81 Scouts
and Scouters at the Armory heard
Pres. Roosevelt's secret message
TO all Scouts and Scouters.
There were no less than a quart
er of a million Scouts and Scouters
modified at various points in the
United States to hear this message
and the Sank Centre boys have re-
sponded to the call Of service is
sued by the President and are put
ting on a drive to gather all pos
sible supplies for the needy.
President Roosevelt carefully
outlined the plan for this campaign
which comprises the gathering OF
those things which add to personal
welfare. ~@-..
The local relief committee has
suggested the things which are
most needed and old clothes tops
this list; clothes of any nature for
young and old, bedding, dishes,
kitchen ware and even articles of
furniture can be used. It is ex-
pected to complete the plans for
this drive at meeting Thursday
evening. All are asked to give
what they can and to give all they
can. These articles will be collect
ed together in the Community Club
rooms which have been used by
Mrs. Moore for the CWA workers
and it will then be up to the Relief
Committee to distribute these ar
ticles among the needy. All are
asked to give as much publicity as
possible to this move.
Present plans, which probably
will not be changed much, contem-
plate the gathering of these ar
ticles by Scouts during the coming
week. In order to give the matter
as much publicity as possible and
also to donate to the cause, the
Sank Centre Herald is printing
hand bills which will be distribut-
ed Saturday to all houses by
Scouts. The collection of articles
will be taken care of after school
hours during the coming week, so
that next week when you see a Boy
Scout approaching your home, be
prepared to give him any of the
things you can comfortably spare
without inconvenience to yourself.
Sank Centre is extending Scout
Week one day over time so that
Scout Week observations here will
not really be brought to close I'M
til Thursday evening when Troop
Is will act as hosts to Troop 63 at
a bean feed, which is being put on
by the Rotary Club. An interesting
program is being planned and the
boys are looking forward to this
event.
An item which is not to be over
looked in the Scout weeks cele-
bration are the two excellent win
dow displays. Troop Is has a very
attractive display in Fishers Bak-
cry and Troop So likewise in the
Rydholm studio. These displays
differ widely in character and both
display merit. The Troop Is display
includes the Minnesota state fair
and other streamers won by the
Troop, Is well as merit badges,
sashes, stamp collections and other
articles. Troop IS designed an
original window which comprises a
lake shore scene with q sandy
beach, a grove containing birch
bark teepees, birch bark canoes on
the shore and other essentials to a
Indian or Scout Camp. These dis
plays are both interesting and are
worthy of attention.
All in all it has been a very sue
cessful Scout week and it will be
f1ttingly drawn to close by the
Thursday evening meeting even
though it was necessary to hold
this meeting the day after National
Scout Week officially closes.
