~ Picked Scouts Meet Judqes;
II Chosen for Royalty Guard
Sharks Tooth 10000, 900 Years Old
To Be Presented King by Fred Carl

When King George VI reviews the
Boy and Girl Scouts as he and
Queen Elizabeth leave the White
House Thursday afternoon to attend
the garden party at the British EN-
bassy, one lad will step forward and
hand the hereditary ruler of the
British Empire a gift.
The boy will be Fred D. Carl. l8-
year-old Eagle Scout and assistant
scoutmaster of Troop Is.
Fred and II others, constituting
the Boy Scout guard of honor, were
selected last night at Scout head
quarters, 1927 K street NV, from
AZ boys-a cub and a regular Scout
sent by each of the 81 districts of
the Washington area.
Every branch of scouting is repre-
sented on the guard of honor-Cubs,
8 to II years old: Scouts. IL to Is:
Sea Scouts and Rover Scouts. IS or
over.
Elimination Tough Task.
The judges had the difficult task
OF diminishing the list of AZ to the
required number. This is how they
did it:
The picked representatives of
every branch of the order-each
chosen by his division as an out
standing example of scouting-were
taken before the judges in groups
based on their rank.
First came the cubs, small bows
who can't become full-fledged Scouts
until they are H. then the Eagle
Scouts were examined, then the Sea
Scouts and finally the Rover Scouts.
Not single question was put, and
there were no individual examina-
tlons. Each group was seated. then
ordered to rise at attention, seated
again and snapped to attention once
more. That was all.
The judges graded the candidates
on general appearance, correctness
OF uniform and-perhaps most i'm
portant of all-that elusive quality
known as poise
There were blank spaces on the
Judging sheets for classification.
rank, years of service and for those
three attributes which were under
scrutiny at the moment The judges
studied the boys in silence, made
marks on their papers and went
into a huddle in another office.
Then the lucky candidates were
sent for and told they had been
chosen

mated on the spot, merely were not
called to the Office. They took good
naturedly their failure to make the
small honor team. They'll be in the
lineup of some thousands of Boy
and Girl Scouts, and they'll see the
royal party close up.
The Boy Scouts will present King
George with what is known in
Scouting as a slide that is an
ornament to be worn at the neck
And what an unusual embellish-
ment this is! It's a sharks tooth
whose age is estimated by the
Smithsonian Institution at 40

Similar Projects May Be
Started In Upper County

After a days tour of Anne
Arundel County health centers a
group of interested Montgomery
county women last week were
thoroughly convinced that compar-
able establishments could be set
up here.
Those making the tour as the
guests of Miss Wohlgemuth, health
nurse director, Annapolis, were:
Mrs. Robert Gray and Mrs. Will
liam Budd, Poolesviile; Mrs. Mall
colin White, Dickerson, and Mrs.
Lewis Allnutt, Jr., Montgomery
County health nurse.
Three health centers were in
spected and it was found such
projects were instituted by lay
people whose interest in the COM
lnunity along health lines led to
these developments.
AS conducted, the health centers
serve as a meeting place for social
and recreational activities. There
the county nurse may hold clinics,
instead of at the county Office as
is now the case here. In some in
stances the health center houses
a library and furnishes facilities
for both indoor and outdoor rec
reation.
Most Of the centers are either
philanthropieally endowed or pur-
chased by community groups spon-
soring the project.
There's q possibility that such
centers may be established in
