Scout Troop Paper

Milford Troop
Leeds Council

Boy Scout troops, Sea Scout
ships and Cub packs of the Clin-
ton Valley Council of Boy
Scouts collected a total of nearly
one million pounds of wastepa-
per during 1914, it was revealed
today by Willard H. Wells, field
scout executive.
The largest amount collected
mas by Troop 33, of Milford,
which turned in 1850 lbs. The
paper total was largely built up
in the rural districts where in
many cases the troops are the
sole collection agency.
According to reports received
at headquarters offices in this
district, Troop "a of Mount
Clemens collected more than g.
600 pounds of paper during 1914.
Other Macomb District leaders
in the salvage drive were: Troop
II, of Mount Clemens, with 49,
600 pounds; Troop 80, of Utica,
with $4,000 pounds and Pack 80
of Utica with 5000 pounds.
Scrap metal rubber tin cans
and kitchen fats also made an
impressive total in the scout
salvage effort. In addition, many
other forms of service were rem
dered to government agencies
and local patriotic committees.

After being paralyzed by de-

to shift their main movement to

was able to resume his north
eastward trek from the Ar
dennes. Working swiftly, Ger

leading from the battle zone and
railway repair crews again got
lines leading to Hanover in OPP

The Germans were withdraw

Tennyson.
Calling America "the land
where we may dream of the
best and find it," DR.. Eva urg-
ed the audience to live up to

on the street, the tramp of en-

1t was around midnight when
the door was kicked open and
a Jerry flashed his light about
the silent room. No one breath
ed for long minute as the light
dance dabout. Guns were level
ed from behind beams and par
titions as the squad waited for
the Nails step forward. The
light flickered and went out.
The door slammed shut. In the
dark they could hear the harsh
rasp of heavy breathing.
All night they kept the long,
silent vigil-waiting the next
flash of light-the next heavy
boot on the door.
1t was early morning before
they again heard voices - at
first faint and then distinct.
American voices this time; voic-
es of the Recon men of one of
the Divisions Tank Battalion.
The cellar squad hailed the
men on the street, calling for
stretcher bearers and then ask
ing for their own outfit.
Pvt. Ashby said that he was
never so glad to see any human
beings as those Recon men;
while Sgt. Czajkowski said that

the wounded. Each and every

Broadway Fire
Quickly Halted.
Was II No. J?

Visions of recent disastrous
fires flashed across the minds of
firemen and excited spectators
alike as fire apparatus raced to
the congested Broadway block
near Macomb street at z pm,
last night.
Otto Snelstrom, night watch
man at the nearby Edison Com
pany warehouse, Croker boule-
ward, had noticed flames leap
ing to the sky from the former
Ullrich Savings Bank building
room, a building now occupied
by two. businesses.
Snelstrom notified Lieut..
Harvey Hammond at police
headquarters who conformed
the information shouted by Smell
strom and summoned fire equip
ment.
There goes No. g." was the
audible comment through the
fast-gathering crowd, as flames
appeared to be leaping through
the three-story building roof.
But it was a minor roof fire
apparently caused by chimney
sparks, and within 20 minutes
was completely extinguished
with a minimum of damage.
Had the fire obtained a good
hold before being discovered
expert observers said, the blaze
might have been MOB" with a
vengeance.
