BOY SCOUTS CAMPAIGN

The campaign for sustaining MEM
Ders for the activities of the Boy
Scouts of the Chester County Coun-
oil is in full swing. The quota for
the County is $22,97O.00. May l.,
report shows that already the sub
scriptions have reached $14,672.O1.
rhe quota for Rising Sun is $4,000.
rhe solicitors will begin work in our
community within few days.
Everyone is familiar with the Boy
Scout Movement and the splendid
work that it accomplishes with boys.
But, not all do understand the re-
,ationship of our own troop to the
Boy Scouts of America. The Local
Administrative area known as the
Chester County Council is Chester
County, Penna. The Administrative
officers are: Chairman of the Board
or Trustees, Hon. Owen j. Roberts,
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court; President, Jay H. Jefferis;
Vice President, Robert w. Wolcott;
Treasurer, j. Gibson McIlvain; Com
missioner, Donald McIlvain; and
Scout Executive, T. ]. Price.
The area is divided into four dis
tricts in which there are thirty-four
troops. Rising Sun is not in Chester
County, although it was during the
colonial period. But, because of its
geographical location and its prox-
unity to Camp Horseshoe, the Rising
Sun Troop is organically related to
the Chester County Council.
The local troop is sponsored by the
Lions Club. The Scout Master is Mr..
Warren Warren of the High School
Faculty, The average membership
of the troop over period of years
is about twenty boys. They meet
regularly on Monday evenings at the
high school building, and during the
year they participate in the District
Father and Son Banquet at Kenneth
Square, and the Scout-O-Rama at
West Chester. During the summer
they enjoy a week or more at Camp
Horseshoe.
A number of new boys have re-
Gently Joined the troop. Other boys
who would like to become scouts
should see the Scout Master.
Our troop enjoys all scout privi-
leges at cost to the community far
below the average. The quota for
the campaign of one community in
the Council is $1,675.00 as compar-
ed WITH $4,000 for Rising Sun. Lets
show our appreciation for this
splendid opportunity, for our boys
by going over the top in this cam
paign.

OLD BRIDGE TO BE CLOSED

The outlook is that the double
deck highway bridge across the Sus-
quehanna river between Perryville
and Havre de Grace will be closed
to traffic upon completion of the
new PWA bridge, but will not be
dismantled at the present time. This
much was learned at the committee
meeting in Baltimore which was
called by Mr.. Hooper s. Miles, chair
man.
1t was further learned that in
accordance with the provisions OF
the indenture covering the sale OF
the bonds no passes may be issued
for travel over the PWA bridge and
local citizens will not receive any
consideration in the payment OF
tolls. In other words Hartford and
Cecil county motorists will be re-
Quired to pay the regular schedule
of tolls as provided in the contract
for the sale of the bonds.
When the bridge is completed
through traffic will be diverted from
main streets of Havre de Grace and
Perryville. The Philadelphia road
will continue north, by-passing Elk
ton to the Maryland-Delaware line.
The highway north of Havre de
Grace probably will not be finished
until next year.
