The Waiting Guest" - Today's

New York Baritone
RECORDING STAR

Patrons of the annual Spring

telling about the May 14th pro-
gram. Anyone interested in at

been frequented by gamblers, and
it is believed that a carelessly

ed the fire. Assisted by the Citiz-

SCOUTS SOLVE
CHICK RIDDLE
Greensboro Troop VIII Reveal
(which Came First, the
Chicken or the Egg?"
SHOW OPENS APRIL 25

That riddle of the ages, (which
came first, the chicken or the
egg?" will be put to scrutiny by
the Boy Scouts. Troop S54 from
Greensboro, Maryland, will pre-
sent all the facts, from the egg
to the chick, the chick to the
broiler, and back to the egg again.
These facts of life from the broil-
er industry will be set forth in the
exhibit of the Greensboro Scouts
at the Scouting Exposition to be
staged by the Delmarva Council
Of the Boy Scouts, April 25 and
rs, at the Brandywine Raceway.
Dash Lewis, assistant scoutmaster
of Troop 354, which meets in his
hatchery, says he will guarantee
10 have chicks Matching right un-
der the eyes of the visitors to the
Exposition. Lewis says his Scouts
are building a 40-egg-capacity in
cubator, and that it will be in op-
Grafton beginning the first night
of the Exposition. Besides the in
cubator, Troop 354 will show a
family group" of a hen and a
rooster with freshly hatched
chicks. In another pen, 9-week-
old broilers will peck away at
their cracked corn to show the
audience what a broiler looks
like. The hatchery where the
Greensboro Scouts meet is chick
factory that supplies chicks to
s to 10 broiler growers on the
peninsula. Byzantine Farms turns
out 10000 chicks a week, hatched
from the farms own White Rock
eggs. The hatchery has a capac-
ity of 10000 eggs, sets twice a
week, and matches twice a week.
Chicks hatch in 21 days, so the
Scouts will set their exhibit to
work 3 weeks in advance. Heat
comes from light bulb. The
farm produces 1000 eggs day
to produce 10000 chicks a week.
Small eggs are culled out because
they might produce weak chicks,
and large eggs because they won't
go in the machine. The modern
hatchery is not as flexible as a
brood hen who could set on any,
thing from a double yolk to a
china egg.
