RNP NOTES OF THEIBDY SCOUTS®
LOOK FORWARD
TO BIG RALLY
Hundreds of Scouts Anxious
to Participate in Con
tests in Fall
The hundreds ct Boy Scouts of J
the city are eagerly anticipating the j
big rally and contest which will ,
probably be held in September in |
the Board of Trade building or I
Chestnut street auditorium. The first
action on this move was taken this!
week at the bimonthly meeting of,
the city scoutmasters. The commit- !
tee arranging the rally includes j
Garfield McAllister, of Troop 4; Wil
liam A. Frantz, of Troop C, and A. ,
Miller, Troop 7.
The rally and contest was first i
planned by Scout Executive J. H.
Stine to create a closer relationship >
between the various city troops. The j
idea was heartily agreed upon at the |
meeting and the scoutmasters at (
once began to arrange for the event, I
which will be the first of its kind for ,
Harrisburg.
Through the courtesy of Robert '
B. Reeves, general secretary of the j
Y. M. C. A., another big time is [
scheduled for the scouts when an j
open house will be held in the asso- j
elation rooms soon after school j
starts. The scoutmasters will make |
further plans for the big rally at |
their next meeting which will be
held in the Y. M. C. A. building Au
gust 7.
More thap fifty local Boy Scouts J
have taken advantage of the offer'
of Secretary Reeves, of the Harris
burg Y. M. C. A., to receive mem
bership tickets for the association
for the summer months. The scouts
receive the tickets at the scout head
quarters, in the Calder building, and
then have Mr. Reeves, countersign
them. These cards give them the
privileges of the boys' department j
during certain hours of the day and '
certain days of the week. The tickets
expire in October, but nevertheless
the scouts will have had several
months of enjoyment at the associa
tion.
TROOP 11 FINDS
A HORNET S NEST
At 10 o'clock the troop members
left the city for Little Round Top.
They arrived at their destination in
time to cook dinner.
After dinner some of the boys not
thinkinpr they were having enough
m < xcitement, in pursuit of some.
Scout Gilbert Lyons stepped on a
hornets' nest and excitement in
plenty soon followed. Mr. Manser
was bitten on the inside of his nose
and other scouts on all parts of their
bodies. Scout Lyons, however, got
tho best of the deal, receiving ten
stings. Games were played and the
troop returned home by a different
route.
At the meeting on Monday even
ing at 7.30, Mr. Manser announced
that the scout camp at Craighead
will he held during the last two
weeks in August. Offers for tents
have been received from several
firms, but as yet none have been de
cided upon.

PRESIDENT WILSON
COMMENDS SCOUTS
WHITE HOUSE
Washington
! My dear Mr. Livingstone:
Thank you for your letter of the 21st of June. One of the
most gratifying things connected with the successful flota
tion of the Liberty Loan was the highly effective and com
mendable work of the Boy Scouts and I hope you will find
• it possible to convey to them an expression of my hearty
appreciation of and thanks for the patriotic service which they
one and all rendered. My thanks also go to the scoutmasters
I who directed and assisted the boys.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
Mr. Colin H. Livingstone,
President, Boy Scouts of America,

Emblems for their work in the recent Liberty Bond cam- j

BOY SCOUT L
By ARMSTRONG PERRY, in (Boy's Life)
I
IT was at Margaretville, X. Y., but
as Margaret wasn't around the
two boys decided to go swim
ming. In getting ready to go in—
or as we might say, in coming to
himself—one of the boys outstripped !
the other. Maybe he took off his
shirt on the run. Anyhow, he went j
right into the water.
He couldn't swim, which was a'
great mistake, as he was twelve i
years old. He went in over his head i
and that was mistake number two !
Besides this there was a strong cur- j
j rent, so everything was against him. J
The cool, calculating individual
I who took time to undress himself!
j properly was a Scout. This was for
j tunate. The other fellow might have j
drifted all the way down to Delaware j
| Bay if it hadn't been for the Scout, j
j But Herbert Anderson, tenderfoot, |
J was right on the job. He swam after |
| his imperilled friend, broke a wrist !
; hold, secured a proper grip, reached |
shore and straightened out the whole {
j situat.on. All he knew about life I
| saving his scoutmaster taught him,

| trying to handle two persons In deep
' water.
He managed it by treading and
| working his way toward shore. Most
of the time he was under water, but
[ he held the others up.
The bronze medal which the Na-
J tional Court of Honor awarded to
! him was well deserved.

nected with a gas pipe and the valve
was wide open. Chloroform had been
used, also. The atmosphere was
heavily charged and dangerous.
The scoutmaster shut off the gas,
secured help, removed the uncon
scious man to another room and
placed him beside an open window.
Then he called an ambulance and
the patient was removed to a hos
pital where he revived.
The cool, resourceful work of the
scoutmaster was recognized in a let
ter, of commendation from the Na
tional Court of Honor.
ANTHONY FADER, attenderfoott t
Scout in Troop 7, of New Or-'
leans, La., would have received
an honor medal if the regulations of j
the National Court of Honor had 1
permitted the granting of a medal to
a Scout who had saved a life with- J
out risking his own.
With his father he was returning
from a hunt when a man in the dis-1
tance frantically waved his arms at!
them. They stopped and when he;
came up he told them that another,
hunter had been wounded in the foot
and was lying in a swamp, about;
three hundreds yards away, groan-'
ing.
The Scout went to the wounded l
man. Thanks to his training in first!
Aid, he was able to apply a tourni-j
quet and stop the the loss of blood, i
which had become dangerous. With j
guns and coats he improvised ai
stretcher.
Right at this point he might easily |
have made a serious mistake, but he;
did exactly the right thing. He let j
otjiers carry the stretcher while he,
held the stick which controlled thej
tourniquet. As the patient was car- >
ried two and a half miles, fatal con-1
sequences might have resulted if the
tourniquet had been too tight or too]
loose or the pressure too continuous.
In other words it had to be done
right.
The methods which he used arei
common knowledge among Scout 3,
but to the people who surrounded
the ambulance when the patient was
brought to it they were entirely new.
The crowd marvelled that a boy of
fourteen should know so much.
