SMYRNA TROOP
OF BOY SCOUTS
Registrations For the Year
Now Total Twenty-Five of
Our Boys
ACTIVE ORGANIZATION

Troop 81 of Smyrna Boy Scouts
at its weekly meeting held at the
troop headquarters on Wednesday,
April 9th. showed that total reg
of 25 Scouts for 1867
had been obtained Three more
boys handed in their registrations,
Clinton Wooleyhan, James Turner
and Wilbur MacLucas. Instruction
in signaling was given by Assistant
Unruh. Signalling is
one of the hardest tests in scouting,
whether it be the Semophore code
or Morse code. It takes time and
practice to master these codes, es-
pecially in the First Class test. A
Scout must be able to serd and re-
ceive a given message and unless
he is fast with the ticker or flags
he will be unable to pass this test.
This year the officers and those in
charge of troop activities are set
ting up a list of rules and regula-
tions in regards to the troop dicip-
line. One of the few rules that
will be enforced in the troop is as
follows: A Scout called down for
conduct in the meeting
more than twice will be suspended
from all scout activities for one
month After he returns to the
troop, he has one more chance and
then shall be expelled from the
troop permanently. Parents of
Scouts should remember this rule
as well as the boys. These rules
are set up so that the troop will be
able to do more Scouting and less
fooling. Mr.. Foster is attending
the Scout Leaders training course
in Dover and has been made a
Patrol Leader. The name of his
patrol is the Flying Eagle Patrol.

DR.. Tarumianz, superintendent of
the Delaware State Hospital, ad-
dressed the club on Mental Hygiene
and stated that over HOO mentally
sick patients are now being. treat
ed at the hospital and about 5000
scattered throughout the state are
in need of proper treatment. About
$50 are admitted each year to the
institution while an average of 160
are admitted for observation. Her
editary mental illness is not the
chief cause of admission as nine
out of every tens ancestory show
ed any symptoms of mental illness.
During the last 25 years, science
has learned more about preventive
treatments of mental illness than
ever before through their mental
hygiene societies and clinics.
Symptoms of mental illness were
described, mutual security was
stressed as a most valuable asset
to each and every person. DR.. Ia
rumianz expressed the hope that
the State Of Delaware through leg
islation would provide the neces-
sary funds to carry out the pro-
gram in the work of preventive
mental illness. Thursday evening.

Rolling eggs Down the 80-foot

around 9 a. m. In former years
the trip was made in OK carts and
horse drawn vehicles, with the an
imals tethered to Craze on the once
grassy slopes. Today's automobile
conveyances were unable to reach
the point over the marshy road,
and one-third Of the distance was
undertaken on foot. Cars were
there from Maryland, PENNSYLVANIA,
and many points in Delaware. The
pine forests of century ago are
submerged to the tree tops with
the shifting sand causing the petri-
flying of many objects now gather
ed as souveniers. Because of the
blustery day with the temperature
lowering around so degrees, and
the heavy rainfall of Easter day,
the groups remained only a few
hours instead of the customary
sunup till sundown. Nearly all
visitors were in hiking clothes and
bright sweaters, armed with cam
eras for taking pictures posed on
the mammoth bou1ders of the light
house ruins lying at the foot of the
great dunes. Erosion caused the
lighthouse to collapse in 1926, after
1852 years of continuous service.
IRehoboth Beach, five miles distant,
also had a large crowd throughout
the day. The boardwalk was filled
with promenaders and one or two
daring bathers were reported in
the surf. The Belhaven Hotel
sponsored an Easter dance Monday
