40 Boys Sign Up
For Scout Work
Ten Patrol Leaders Selected To
Direct Courses For New
Entries

Registration of forty boys under
the new, COMMUNICATIVE Boy
Scout program and the division of
fifty boys into ten patrols was &C
complished within the past week
according to Scoutmaster r. B.
Kowalke. This new high in Scout
registration represents an increase
in registered Scouts of more than
200 per cent.
When this plan was adopted set
ting up a single troop for Sank
Centre, it was hoped that a hun
dred percent increase would be no
ted Within ZEN days. In registra-
ton alone that expectation has
been doubled, and there are still
about ten boys, who attended the
last meeting, that are not regis,
tered. In addition there are some
fourteen waiting to be assigned to
patrols boosting the total number
to sixty-four registered and non
registered Scouts. Including the
seven assistant Scoutmasters that
number is raised to a high of II &C
lively engaged in Scout work.
Directing the courses Of these
newer Scouts are ten patrol leaders
chosen as follows: Lloyd Wruck,
John Parker, Mickey Hansen, Jim
Rattle, Joe Jackson, Russell Lar
son, Bud Hunt, Ray Berggreen,
Merlin Pickett, and Willis Lovesee.
Additional patrol leaders will be
chosen from the list Of George
Conkey, Dudley Morse, Donald De-
ziel, and Jim Pangburn. There are
some eighteen waiting to be placed
into patrols which will be accom-
plished within a week. At the last
meeting nearly fifty Scouts were
designated to work under the above
ten older Scouts. Directing the
troop as a unit will be Warren
Peglow, assigned to the position of
Senior Patrol Leader.
Each week finds several more
boys interested in the movement,
but still the call is issued by the
Scoutmaster for more boys. It Is
expected that the end Of the week
will find a completely registered
troop of nearly sixty-five Boy
Scouts.

L. A. Walker

sale, which opens officially on
Thanksgiving Day.
"All of us have many ways In
which to spend our time, as all Of
us have many ways in which to
spend our money" said Mr.. Walker
in accepting the Craftsmanship. TN
the same way that everyone who
spends money for Christmas Seals
shows his belief that this expendi-
ture for better community health
Is worthy, I feel that time spent in
the cause of the Christmas Seal Is
worthy.
The 1886 campaign marks the
30th anniversary Of the introduce
ton of the Christmas Seal into the
United States as means of rails
ing funds to fight tuberculosis. The
fact that three and one-half million
people have died of tuberculosis
during the last thirty years is en-
phasized in the message sent out to
the local committees. In this mes
sage the forward strides which
have been taken are also stressed
and it is pointed out that the death
rate has been cut two-thirds.
Officers of the County Public

ises to be a very striking effect.
Tiny tots of two and three will

many difficult dances with the

it is hoped will run like clock work
and although the performers are
children, not a dull moment from
the introduction by little Miss

the promise.
Special scenery and many nov

Analysis Of the cast of Around
the World in 80 Days." which
opens the Roadside season on
June is, reveals that new Road
siders outnumber the "old-timerS"
three to two. Eighteen local actors,
including four playing major roles,
are playing on the stage of the
barn theater for the first time.
New to Roadside, but outStand-
ing in the capitals acting groups,
are George harrington, tn e
Phineas Fogg of the play, and Vir-
ginia True, who plays opposite
him as the princess of India,
Aouda.
AS student at the University
of North Carolina, Mr.. Earring
ton was an outstanding member
of the PlaybuilderS. In Washing
ton he has both directed and
acted with the Pierce Hall Play
ers and several other local
groups.
Miss True is one Of Washing
tons most popular leading ladies.
She has played with the Arts
Club, the Drama Guild, Columbia
Players, Pierce Hall Players, the
Shakespeare Society. and the
University Club. Last summer
she was with the well-known Fal-
mouth (Mass.) Theater, where
she played in Private Lives
with Richard Whorf and Rose
Hobart.

SPECIAL OVERTURE
This limited audience, capable
Of real music appreciation, is not
peculiar to Washington. The Cap
itol Theater in New York dropped
its symphony orchestra because
a fine musical group Of 80 was
not sufficient, If the feature pic
ture happened to be skinned
milk. Warner Brothers tried with
an orchestra Of 70 men in the
huge Mastbaum Theater in Phila-
delphia, turning out the grandest
music I have ever heard in a
theater, but wrote the policy on
the red ledger because the music
lovers apparently remained away
unless the screen attraction had
a real pull.
The late Roxy opened the Fox
with band Of SIS men in the
pit and in six weeks discovered
that Washington just would not
pay for such elaborate overtures.
Meaning the admission tariff
necessary to support an organi-
zation Of this size was beyond
the Capitals capacity to pay.
I certainly trust that Washing
ton will "go to town" for Yasha
Bunchuk and his music because
he was caught in the middle of
the National Symphony Orches-
The Washington times., 1936-06-03

ira squabble and some zealots
wrote letters to the editor imply
ing he had never led anything
more than the silver cornet band
in Podunk.
If his pride was hurt, Conductor
Bunchuk has kept quiet about it.,
realizing. no doubt, that his rec
ord as a muSician-compoSer and
as one Of the worlds greatest
'cellists has been made for those
who care to study it. He owns
a library of music valued at $780,
600 and from this has plucked
an overture that, when played
Friday, will be the Bunchuk an
SWer to unfair critics.
ONLY A GUEST STAR
If Yasha Bunchuk hits, as he
hopes to hit next week, he may
be held over, but any thought of
this high-priced artist leading a
band Of 60 regularly on F Street
is fantastic.
I think in the average movie
house with a stage show, the
keystone Of the program is the
picture with an average so per
cent draw, the remaining 40 per
cent going to the vaudeville, in
cluding the music. OF course.
this doesn't apply in all juriSdic-
tionS. There is, for instance, the
telephone conversation as re-
ported by the Showmen's Trade
Review:
Patron: "What's your attrac-
tiOn?"
Exhibitor: ''I'm showing The
Ghost Goes west with Robert
DOnat and a Mickey Mouse
Patron: "I didn't ask what
You were showing. 1 asked
what's your attraction? Is it
Bank Night, ScreenO, Of Dish
Night?"
ABOUT TROUBLE FOR TWO"
Trouble for Two" is Robert
Louis Stevenson with a dash OF
WhimSy. 1t stems from Cne famous
authors Suicide Club" stories
but it is neither as grim or fore
boding as it sounds.
Instead it is the adventures of
Prince Florizen who is ordered by
the King to wed a princess Of a
neighboring dynasty whom he
has never seen. He is given a
month to think over this alliance
of convenience and goes to Lon
don to ponder on the problem.
In London he meets a strange
cuckoo who is challenging diners
to eat his cream puffS, gets in
volved with a Suicide Club and
out of it all finds a mysterious
lady who turns out to be none
other than his princess.
This is good light-weather fare
despite it's brief detour into the
eerie. You will, I think, be more
interested in its romance than in
who gets the ace of spades and
the ace of clubs. For your in.
formation, the No. spade holder
Is the individual marked to die
