Hi Brumberg New
Durant Scoutmaster

Hi Brumberg, well known insurance
man, has been named Scoutmaster of
the Durant Scout troop, succeeding Leon
E~nglemann, who left Durant several
mnths ago to become engaged in defense
work.
Mr.. Brumber has been active in Scout
work for many years in K~osciusko where
he formerly resided and Durant Scouts
are fortunate in being able to secure
for their troop a leader such as Mr..
Brumberg.
In assuming the position of Scout
master Mr.. Brumberg stated the Durant
boys should be congratulated on the high
calibre work they have lone in the past
three months when they have been with
out a Scoutmaster. He said Dub King
and David Comfort had done some
especially fine work and should be COM
mended.
The new Scoutmaster stressed the i'm
portance of every Scout attending every
meeting. The troop meets every Monday
night at 1880 o'clock at the Baptist
Church. Camping trips and other activi-
ties will be planned from time to time
and Scouts are especially urged to be
present Monday night.

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
BY Hazel Brannon

We would like to call the attention
of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to
the fact that there is IN open sewer
pipe over near the river that needs
attention badly. 1t has been open for
some time but so far nothing has been
done about it. 1t is a health menace
and very distasteful to anyone coming
to Durant from Kosciusko.
