SCOUT TROOPS TAKE
OVER DISTRIBUTION
OF OO-OPERATOR /

Proceeds to be used to purchase
Scout Uniforms and Equipment
At the last meeting Of the Journa1is-
tic Club, on Wednesday March 9, motion
~was passed turning over local home dis
tribution Of the Greenbelt Cooperator
to our Boy Scout Troop. The Troop is to
receive two cents for each copy 1T sells.
First use Of the funds received by
the Scouts, according to Scout Master
Charles Petit, will be to purchase
uniforms for eight scouts who at present
have none. After this has been accom-
p1ished, Scout receipts will GO half to
the Scout who does the delivering, and
half to the Troop. Tt is hoped that
Troop funds so obtained will materially
aid in providing, besides the uniforms,
tents and other equi pment for Scout
summer camp.
Mr.. Petit has appointed Scout
James L. Cameron universally known
W. L.") to supervise distri button. and
j. L. will have corps Of seven or
eight assistants. J. L. has had
considerable experience in this type Of
work, delivering the Washington Times

Cooperator store. j. L. is also patrol
leader, and quartermaster Of the troop.
With the help Of his able assist
ants, very efficie nt distribution is

beautiful acceptance and gracious 10y
atty to the action of the church IN

The time of the first general con-
ference of the united church, Bishop
Moore said, is a matter of conjecture.
He indicated it probably would not be
held before 1912, although some church
leaders have expressed the opinion 1t
might be possible to hold it in 1910.
