Scou+master Needed!

Troop 1O4, Boy Scouts of
America, is on the verge OF
disbanding, member of the
Troop Committee said Monday,
because the 80 member troop
has no scoutn1aster.
The troop was formed in
1926 by the late j. Peetrey
Clark, who carried on the
work until his death. Since
that time several men have led
the troop but, at the present
time, no ore has come forward
to take over the scoutmaster-
ship. The Troop Committee has
asked that anyone interested in
scout work may contact any
m e m Der of the Episcopal
Church or any scouter in the
area. The committee pointed
out that unless some interested
person takes over soon, they
have no choice but to disband.

4eth STAR?

49th STAR?
The biggest thing that
botherS us about admitting
Hawaii as a state is where to
put the 49th star. Our flag
looks fine the way it is, what
with its 48 stars SO neatly
placed on the blue field. Now,
what are we going to do with
another star? If we center the
star for Hawaii, it will give
Hawaii too prominent place
in the scheme of things and
if we place Hawaii's star
somewhere else on the flag, it
will still draw too much at
tention Our own suggestion,
if this business messes up our
flag, is to leave Hamaii as is.
We've lost too much sleep al

people say that this country

that he has done for his coun-
