The Jamboree will be a self
sustaining venture All $4,000
campers pay a fee covering the
cost of food, use of equipment, and
building the camp. 1t will have it's
own water supply, electricity, po-
lice and fire departments, tele-
phone and telegraph facilities, in
fact all essentials that will make
for a safe adventure on this his
tOric site.
1t will be democracy in action
with all boys sharing in the daily
camp chores, cooking their own
meals, preparing their own camp
and keeping it in good condition.
Many Scouts who will participate

Scouts are having part of their ex-
penses betrayed by the institutions
that sponsor their Troops in rec
ognition of exceptional work in the
Scout ranks.
Those who attend the Jamboree
will be better Americans because
of the greater appreciation of the
country they will get through see

In formulating their program
young people should be made to
feel that much is expected of them
from the standpoint not only of
their homemaking and agricultural

The men were: Frederick Baker.

113, Millsboro; Monroe James
Whaley, Laurel; Everett Toomey
and Russell Frye, Dagsboro, and
John l.. Brittingham, Lewes Beach.
The case against a seventh man,
Jesse Rowe, employe of Baker,
was nol-prossed by Col. Baker.
In presenting his case against
the six men, Col. Baker outlined
the progress of the investigation
of gambling, especially by high
school students, in Sussex County.
He said that as early as last Oc-
tober, complaints began coming to
his office from parents stating
that their children were gambling
for money on pinball machines.
"These complaints were receiv-
ed in ever-increasiEg crescendo,"
Col. Baker explained and said that
he notified the State Police and the
QuftL dLleillpl at NcIlilCdllOn DCSah.
The climax, Col. Baker continu-
ed, came when a 13-year-old boy
failed to come home for two days
and the police were notified that
he was missing. He was found in
Laurel where he had been paying
for his small expenses through a
pinball machine. Previously, he had
been absent from school for eight
days and his parents had COM
planned that they couldn't keep
him away from the pinball ma
chimes.
Attorney Thompson, represent
ing the defendants, said that the
cases came about because of a
small group of minors who had
taken up gambling tendencies and
that with the removal of the ma
chimes, the problem faced by the
defendants was also removd.
