clocks. Our hired men arise be- fore daylight, anyway, and even the laziest of them keep going un- til dark. We fear no invasion be- cause this village is protected by so many bridges that we could stop 8 tank column at any one of a dozen places. About the only effect war has on our community life is the belly laughs created by a village coward wOh cOnc0cts spe- cial pleas for draft exemptions.
 South Britain n ever worries when 8 chief executive spreads his tail feather and shifts Thanks giving Day around the calendar. Those of us who are conServa- tive observe the holiday and feast- ing just as we always did, on the traditional day. The Democrats have two days of heavy eating and are just twice as happy. Any way, most of us know that in 1842, Thanksgiving Day was on December 9th. (P. T. Barnum wrote that it was, and Barnum never told a lie) Town records show no slackening in the christ mas trade that year and one char coaler from Flagg Swamp bought three extra pairs of socks.
 There's an elastic resistance against change in a village such as ours. We can show you farms here where people still pick off the potato bugs in tin cans and never use Paris Green. They new CT have a poisoned cow on such farms, either. Just like Oliver Gilbert and his home made nick Ory axe handles, many of us stick to the old ways of life. On Squaw Rock they still fight with stones.

ONLY EIGHT ARE LEFT OF PICTURESQUE INDIAN BAND THAT SERVED IN U. s. ARMY DURING FRONTIER WARS

this branch of the service. Records show that the Scouts served in 288 engagements after 1870 before the hostile tribes were finally pacifled. As the west became peaceful, the Indian posts were abandoned until finally only Fort Huachuca re- mained.
 Radios, planes and maps have re- placed the Scouts. No longer will they be needed to risk their lives to carry messages through wilder ness ravines of enemy territory. Their workmanship and frontier heritage would not avail against the observation plane. They need not prepare for solitary missions in the last of their enemy, scouting out ambushes and traps that would fa- tally ensnare moving troops.
 Aware of the traditions of their branch of the service, these eight are tremendously proud of their in- signia, U. s. s. No enlistments in the Scouts have been accepted since 1923 and the eight now at Fort Huachuca will be the last.
 Appropriately enough, the Scouts are entrusted now with the guard ing and preservation of the Fort Huachuca military reservation, a part of the land their fathers fought to win for the United States.

Waterfront activities will be under the supervision of Mildred Kuntz; boating an dcanoeing will be directed by Ruth Miller. Mildred Karcher will be in charge of the canteen.

Tn the wild hills of southern Ariz- ona along the Mexican border, eight ull-blooded Apache Indians watch over a small section of the vast area that the cunning and courage of their fathers helped to win for the white settlers.
 Proud, dignified, loyal, these eight (see picture above) are the last of the United States Scouts. With them ends thrilling chap ter of U. s. army history.
 At the close of the Civil War, the Western Frontier was almost de- fenseless against the skillful and daring attacks of the redmen. Troops and settlers alike lived in terror of the savage, treacherous, raids of the hostile Indians.
 INDIAN SCOUTS SERVED
 IN 288 ENGAGEMENTS
 General George Cook conceived the idea of matching the wits of the Indian himself against this me- mace and fostered legislation that was signed by President Andrew Johnson on July 28, 1866, establish ing the United States Scouts. This provided for enlistment of up to 1000 Indains as scouts, guides and counSelors in Indian warfare.
