NEW YORK. May 18-Reaffirma-
ton Of essentially all present steel
prices for the third quarter was seen
today by Iron Age, in its weekly re-
view of the iron and steel industry.
"Steel prices for the third quarter
probably will be announced by a lead
ing producer before the end Of the
week." the publication said. mo
changes are expected except in the fiat
rolled classification, on which a new
system of base prices and extras will
be introduced as step toward clarifi-
cation Of Inconsistencies that have
been brought about by the rapid growth
of the continuous rolling method for
sheets and strip.
"The steel industry is firmly of the
belief that price reductions at this
time would not stimulate business, but
on the contrary might, as has hap
pened in the past, add to hesitation
and uncertainty"
Steel mill operations for the Nation
as whole this week were estimated at
an average of 80 per cent capacity, a
half-point under last week.
Operations in the Pittsburgh dis
trict gained three points to 29 per
cent of capacity, due to temporary
accumulation of orders" but activity
tapered lower at other centers.
In the Chicago district operations
were at 20 per cent of capacity, off four
points from last week; Wheeling-Weir
ton district, So per cent, off five points,
and the youngstown area. 26 per cent,
OH three points. The Buffalo, Bir-
mingham and st. Louis rates also are
off slightly. Production is unchanged

SCOUT TROUP TO
CELEBRATE ANNIV,
Continued from page l

ed by Rev. William o. Hurst, Meth
odist minister in 1921, who had very
little support from the people. In
about a years time the idea dropped
completely out of the picture, until
1927 when the Pocomoke Rotary Club
became Interested and reorganized the
troop, naming Fred u anderson as
Scout Master and William Hancock,
Assistant Scout Master. Through the
constant efforts of the Rotarians and
Mr.. Henderson, who have been asso-
ciated with the movement since it's
reorganization, the group has grown
from about Is members to 80 members
at present.
During the year 1897, the reports of
the scout scribe, Kenneth Wilkerson,
show that the local troop has made
great advancement in attendance and
the passing of prescribed tests.
The citizens of any community in
which there is an active scout troop
should support the movement whole
heartedly since the boys are taught
the principles of good citizenship thus
better qualifying them to take their
place honorably among national af-
fairs.
The public is cordially invited to
join the Troop in this celebration by
their attendance at the events; Since
The Boys OF Today Are The Men Of
Tomorrow.
