D. Ward Nichols last week saved
the AME Book Shop for the African
Methodist Episcopal church. The 20

Built in 1928, the building houses
the general offices of the AME
church and a number of other pri-
vate offices. For several years taxes
of the building had been left UNI
paid.
This is the same building which
former Bishop Curry, when he was
manager, and other managers Of
the book concern used to pirate that
it was one of the best managed in
vestments of the church.
Bishop Nichols, who presides over
the First Episcopal district New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware, the New England States
and Bermuda), had to deposit $4,000
in cash, and is to pay the balance
of his bid in 81 days.
Asked what he was going to do
with the building, the bishop said
he was buying it solely to save it
from the hands non-AME buyers,
He said that he will turn it over to
the church. He was represented at
the sale by Raymond Pace Alexan-
der, noted Philadelphia attorney.
Among the tenants Of the build
ing are a musicians local, Joseph
Baker, public relations consultant
for the Pennsylvania railroad, and
other local concerns. The building
also houses a complete printing es-
adjustment on the first floor.
With Bishop Nichols purchase,
persons apd groups holding heavy
mortgages on the building have lost
their claims.

get dry. wood to build your fire?
How do you fry your bacon and

because you r a Scout!
Camp cleaned up, you hit the

either. You can find your way
with your map and compass or by
reading the signs of the woods.
Evening falls, and you SIT

and that was our next big job.
The post organized a burial squad
and held six military funerals for
the boys when they came home.
The commanding officer of the
Memphis district gave the post a
commentator for the way in
which the funerals were conduct
ed.
At the state convention M BIZ

follows. w. M. Henry, post
commander; Charles d. Watkins,
first vice commander; Bobby
Garrard, second vice commander;

The post has 116 members at
present and look for a bigger year
in 1850. All members r urged
to pay their 1850 dues as Don as
possible to William Henry or Eu-

BE Prepared is the Scout mot
to. From the day you become a
Scout you set yourself about pre-
pairing yourself to help other peo-
pie Every day in countless WAYS
Scouts show that they're prepar-
ed - to point the way to strang-
srs, to prevent accidents, to give
tlrst aid to the injured, even to
save d life, in disasters of all
klRds-fires, floods. earthquakes
and storms.
The Scout is truly reverent to-
ward God. He shows his rever-
ence in his every day actions as
well as in his church activities.
These are the challenges and adj
ventures found in the Handbook
for Boys, awaiting a boy when he
enters Scouting. To be a Scout
he mast choose the right way,
the Christian way and the Scout
way instead of the wrong way.
Tchula is truly proud of Scout
Troop 10. II has a fine record. It
was organized twenty-five years
ago in 1924 by Rev. John Robin
son, Methodist minister. Frank
Gwin, Sr., was the first Scout
master. 1t was taken over by
Hugh Garrett, then by w. r. Hud-
dleston and later by Rev. S. b.
Harrington, Baptist minister.
These men gave generously Of
their time and energy to make
Scouting a success in Tchula.
The present Scoutmaster is
Frank Gwin, Jr., and the assistant
Scoutmaster is John Edgar Hays.
The troop committee consists of
Marshall Bennett, chairman; z.
H. Odom, and c. D.. Watkins. The
troop is sponsored by the Ameri-
can Legion Post No. 1857
Troop 70 is proud of its record
for the past year. Through the
efforts of the committee $500 was
raised to send Andrew Jackson
Council to pay part of a full time
worker to aid in Scouting in
Holmes, Attala, and Madison
counties. Through the efforts of
the Business and Professional
Women's Club, the Garden Club
Rnd Lions Club enough funds
were raised to send four top rank
ing scouts to Philmont Ranch, in
New Mexico, for a two week ven
ture in the out OF doors and an
educational tour. Nine of the
% Scouts in the troop have not
missed a single meeting during
the past year and will receive
Attendance Medals. All Scouts
have advanced at least one rank,
and all have complete uniforms
bought and paid for by money
they earned. They have aided
their community in many ways;
by directing traffic at athletic
events at the school, and raising
funds for worthy causes. They
hre now organizing a School Sa-
fety Patrol to prevent accidents at
the crossings between school and
town
