PLANS FOR SCOUT
CAMP DISCUSSED
Other Matters Receive Atten'
ton At Meet Of Executive
Board In ClarktOn

CHARLTON, March 29.-Plans
Tor a leadership training survey,
the summer encampment at Single
tary Lake, organization and exten'
sion programs, and the addition OF
an assistant scout executive were
discussed at a meeting Of the execu
tive board Of the Cape Fear Area
council, Boy Scouts of America, here
last night.
George L. Morton. leadership
training chairman, reported that a
survey was being made of the train
ing of scout leaders with the puc.
pose of planning future training
courses to meet their needs more
adequately, during the spring, sum
mer, and fall months.
J. C. Roe, camping and activities
chairman, reported that the main
council camp would be again locat-
ed on Singletary Lake this summer.
The council, he said, has already
leased the camp site for a period of
three weeks this summer, with an
option for a fourth week if the en-
rollment justifies.
A report that two new cub packs
and one new troop had been organ
lied recently was submitted by e.
O. Rehm, organization and extern
sion chairman. Rehm said ten addi-
tional troops and one other cub
pack are now in the process Of or
%ganization.
The main portion of the business
session was taken up with discus
sion of plans for adding an assistant
scout executive. Executive commit
tee members pointed out that the
council had grown considerably in
the past few years and it was i'm
possible for one man to cover the
work adequately.
If the work was to continue to go
forward, committee members de-
clared, the present executive would
have to have assistance. The as
sistant would be a field man with
the responsibility of maintaining
closer relationships with the troops
over the area than is now possible
with only one man in the field.
The matter was put into the
hands Of the finance committee,
which was to refer it to the execu-
tive committee for action as soon as
the necessary funds were on hand.

Gil representative, spoke Of the re-
gional conference in Greensboro last
year and what it had contributed }

COURT REPORTER
Decision in the Strange Case of
"OH, BABYw

Continued From Page Nine)
- Mrs. Aker-
man was awarded damages of $500
by the lower court and then an
unusual thing happened. The rail-
road company took the case to the
Alabama Supreme Court, contend
ing that the amount was excessive
and out of proportion to the actual
damage suffered, anxiety concern
ing the welfare and safety of her
child.
The higher court then decreed
that if Mrs. Alderman would accept
half the award, $3.50, the lower
courts decision would be affirmed,
but if she refused, the judgment
would be reversed and she would
get nothing. The record does not
say, but it's a good guess that she
accepted.
The railroad company claimed
that the train did not leave the
station before the twenty-minute
interval allowed for lunch, and that
when Mrs. Alderman rushed out
looking for her train, it was standing
on another track, where ithad been
switched to make way for another
arrival, and of course, by the time
she hailed a taxicab and got going,
her train was pulling out.
This is a true case. Reference of

ing as an early furry of bidding
for United States Steel and Bethle-
hem, which hoisted these leaders
more than a point, spread to other

before the finish.
AS in previous sessions, demand
centered on shares likely to profit
most from the defense-stimulated
expansion of heavy industries, like
steels. Year-end dividends were spe-
cial market influences.
British and Greek war successes
against Italian forces in the Medi-
terranean sectors drew favorable
comment from market quarters in
clined to take a brighter view OF
immediate prospects.
Business forecasters continued to
talk of additional industrial gains
as defense spending rises. Reports
of further price advances in steel
scrap and pig iron evoked nor
comment in brokerage circles as ar
indicator of steel trends than the
tightening of government contro
over iron and steel exports.
United states Steel ended a point
higher at 70 IA. Crucible was ur
a like amount at A IL and Beth
lehem retained a fractional part Of
its early rise.
Also up fractions to about a pom
