SCOUT CENTER

Entire Region, W. A.
Dobson Tells Rally
ORGANIZATION FAR
BELOW POSSIBILITIES

Boy Scouts from six Henderson
county troops participated in a
Scout rally and demonstration at
the HcndcrSonvillc Scout center
last night.
Represented were Henderson,
ville'S troops Nos. /, 2 and 3, East
Flat Rock, Fletcher, and Tuxedo,
and Is AShcvillc Scouts attended
with the drum and bugic corps.
The program opened yesterday
afternoon at 4 80 o'clock with a
court Of honor, held in the open
at the Scout center. Rev. G.. K.
Combs, chairman of the court,
presided, and Jake Foster, troop
4, and Billy Wilson, troop |, were
promoted to second class Scouts.
Following the court. Scouts of
the six troops paraded through
The business section. The parade
was led by the Ashcvillc Scout
drum and buglc corps.
The only Henderson county
troop not represented was the
Blue Ridge school organization,
which is inactive during summer
months.
80 At 6:l5 o'clock the Scouts, and
local and visiting officials were
guests at Il barbecue, served at
the American Legion clubhouse,
and a short conference was held
by officials with w. A. Dobson,
executive of region six, at the
clubhouse following the barbecue.
Mayor A. V. Edwards, district
chairman, presided at the confer
ence. Mr.. Dobson told the Off
Gals that the HcnderSonville cen
ter was the only such plant he
had found in region six, which in
cludcS North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida.
Although Scouting is ~ years
old, he said, little was done in
rural areas and smaller towns un-
til recent years on account of the
lack of organization. Now any
community can have organized
Scouting. He pointed out that the
Daniel Boone council has A coun-
ties and a potential eight districts,
of which four are organized.
"The district is doing good
job" he said, "but you have in
this county 400 boys of Scout
age, 50 per cent of whom have
indicated that they would like to
be Scouts, and you have slightly
more than 100 boys in Scouting.
That's your job, and | give
you the second challenge to give
these boys the kind Of program
they need. John Dillinger was a
normal boy in a respectable fam
lily, but the right kind of men fail
cd to take an interest in him.
Scouting is cooperative. We
are not the Boy Scouts of Hen
Jacksonville or of Asheville, but
we are the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea. This is a new era in Scouting,
and the development will be Just
what each district accomplishes."
After the conference a demon
stration Of Scouting activity was
given at the center. On part of
the ground permanent area has
been cleared and lighted for such
activity, and Scouts participated
in number Of games and con-
tests.

WILLARD 'SIT-DOWN' CONTINUES

1t was charged at noon that the
company had turned the heat off
in an effort to discourage the girls
from occupying the premises while
their demands were considered.
It was the understanding here
that the company's New Castle
plant also was closed, and that
the strike had spread to Washing
ton from Pennsylvania.
Police watched for the spread
of the strikes to other hotels or
industries, but at midday only the
Willard and the two garment fac
tories were affected.
Some of the Willard's guests
who had planned to stay longer
checked out today with the remark
that they didn't want to sleep
behind picket lines"

gates were to go into session al

and with Major Brown, Superin-
tendent of Police, the conferees
cited the following provision of
the District code as adequate in
their opinion to deal with the
problem raised by the "sitters."
"Any person who, without
lawful authority, shall enter, or
attempt to enter, a private
dwelling or building against the
will of the lawful occupant
thereof, or being therein with
out lawful authority to remain
therein, shall refuse to quit the
same on the demand Of the
lawful occupant thereof, shall
be deemed guilty of a miSde-
meanOr"
The Willard management and
attorneys expected later in the
day to demand that the strikers
leave the premises, and on their
refusal to do so-if they do re-
fuSe-to obtain individual war
rants for their arrest under the
above law.
AS the Willard strike reached
the point where it tied up all Of the
food facilities except the coffee
shop which is served by a separate
staff, another sit-down strike
broke out far across the city.
