STAR $1,000 Year Drive For
BoyScOut Movement In City
Want Hired Boy Scout Ex-
ecutive; Junior Patrol
And Boy Scout Move
ments Help Youth

In a report of boys work be-
fore the Rotary Club, Chairman
Edward Mccarthy suggested the
appointment of scout executive
in this city on salary basis and
annodhGsH that a drive for ST.
600. cuf III which the executives
salary would be paid. would soon
be initiated to set Key West
scouting on a firm basis.
The benefits of scouting,
alongside with good home train
ing, to make good citizens of
young boys demand at least this
amount in Key West, Mccarthy
said. 1.-The amount means that
only 81 per year supplied by
every resident of Key West would
insure these benefits, Mccarthy
said.
"A good example to follow is
the best work of scouting. You
know how initiative a young boy
is. If he has a good example, he
will follow it. If he hasn't, he is
bound to follow the bad. And
considering that the youth of the
city today are the leaders tomor-
row the amount is the best in
vcstment Key West could make"
Mccarthy suggested also that
committeeman take more active
interest in scouting.
Regarding other boys

pointed cut that there should

also called attention the need
Of . community center and
said that some plans were go
ing forward slowly for the
erection of one on Stock Is

Junior Patrol and Boy Scout
work are the two principal youth
activities in Key West at present,
Mccarthy continued. In the pa
troll. belts and badges have al
ready been given the boys.
Monthly theatre tickets as prizes
have been arranged. Every Sat.
urday morning a drill at the
Armory, which has been drawing
q good attendance, has been held.
New officer assigned to training
the boys is Basil Tynes, taking
the place of Myrtland Gates, who
was transferred to a beat in an
other second of the city. Shortly
new uniforms for the patrol
leaders win be given.
In Boy Scouting there are at
present three troops, sponsored
by the Rotary Club. Elks and
American Legion Post. The Lions
Club is sponsoring a Sea Scout
ship. which will soon function in

Nothing succeeds like success.
Several years ago the Famous
Spencer Sisters launched out on a
professional career determined to
give the women of this country a
good, meritorious Hair Product
not another hair grease, but one
that would stand up under the
pressure" That is to say, a prod
uct that would do just what the
maker would claim for it. Today,
these women have created an en-
vious name for themselves. They
have succeeded and their product,
Spuron, has been placed on sale in
every drug store in the country
with the possible exception of a
few in this immediate section.
Local Stores Will Be Stocked
Representatives from New York
are now making arrangements for
all druggists to get Spuron, and in
a very few days it will be possible
to get your supply from a local
source rather than write to New
York.

Before You Buy
A few weeks ago when the noted
Sisters decided to give FREE 81
Days Treatment to all readers of
this paper, they did so with the in
tention of ultimately placing it on
the market in our locality. How
ever, they were amazingly pleased
at the demand for proof of their
product doing just what was
claimed for it. They sent out many
thousands of 81 Days Free Treat
ment, and the public have accepted
Spuron and are beginning to make
demands on their local druggists,
but the Spencer Sisters say this:
Every soon it will be possible for
every person to get supply of the
Spuron Treatment from the local
source, but we don't want single
person to buy before having re-
ceived a free Fl days treatment"
In keeping with the wishes of
the Speneers, you are suggested
to send for yours today.
