Oldest Troop in City Has >0 Banquet in Celebration of Its Seventh Anniversary On January 7, 1918, Troop 4 spent the evening: celebrating the seventh anniversary of the troop. As all (scouts know, the best way to cele brate anything Is to eat. Yes, that is the way we celebrated our anni versary. We had with us thsyt night the Rev. H. E. Hallman, o£ tlie Im manuel Presbyterian Church. Ho gave an interesting talk on his ex perience with the Boys' Brigade, and how much wo have Improved over them. Troop 4 can boast of being the oldest troop In Harrlsburg. It was organized December 27, 1910, and lias be<?n the only troop to stick to gether through these seven past years. Troop 4 is setting a new ex ample: this is keeping togethor without a scoutmaster or an assist ant scoutmaster. As many other scoutmasters will be called to the colors in the near future, their troops will be able to follow our ex ample. Henry E. Klugh, Jr., Troop Scribe.

He is a man of wide experience in educational work and is highly progressive. It wa his opinion that scout work would soon be taken over by the public schools as a part of the regular cur riculum because of its great educa tional value, and the fact that it is so hard to get scoutmasters. A few western towns have combined scout work with school work much as Is the common plan with regftrd to coaching school athletics and teach ing certain academic branches. If the Scout oath and laws were ob served by every boy attending the public schools it would certainly mean a great step forward in gen eral scholarship. Each troop should take several scout staves to the rally on next Monday night, as they will be re quired for several of tho events on the program. Basketballs will also be needed and every troop which owns one is requested to take it along. National Scout Headquarters is planning to launch a financial cam BOY SCOUTS DO A GOOD TURN Orchestra Rounds Out Nicely After Much Hard Work The scout orchestra of Troop i did a good turn Sunday afternoon by using their talents at the men's meeting' at the Y.

The troop feels highly honored, indeed, bv having them as they are a music ai trio and form a very important part in the troop orchestra. Wil liam, because of his earnest attain ments, was appointed chief bugler of tlie troop. Moral: Scouts all try to do something that will be helpful to all! The troop ha 9 unanimously ac cepted the invitation to attend the lecture of Dr. Joseph Kalbfus on Friday at the Technical Hich •School. In view ofthe lecture the business meeting of the troop will begin at 6:45 so as to rehears* some of the program of the scout rally of January 14th, at the Armory.

As compliments of scoutmaster and assistants, 1918 scout diaries have been presented to every scout of the troop. They are striving to make the troop more proficient dur ing the year 1918. The troop desires the hearty co-operation of all Iheir friends and parents to accomplish this point. Too much credit cannot be given to W. L. Bailey, Assistant Scoutmas ter, In his unUring efforts to make the orchestra a valuable asset of the troop. With the new members under in struction the orchestra will soon have twenty pieces. Educational and special patrol work are to be some of the new fea tures for the coming year. GEORGE REXNOEHXi. Troop Scribe. Receives Congratulations on Birthday Anniversary C. H. SAUERS C. H.

SAYS WORLD HAS WAM)I.aF.D FROM PATH "The whole world has gone astray from the highway of holy living," said Dr. Russell at Christ Lutheran Church last night. Many specifics have been offered as a panacea for this war-wasted world. "Ever since God broke the silence of eternity He has been calling man to the standard of Divine righteous ness. Adam's race must either pro duco or procure the righteousness of God or through the pearly gates it will never go. That righteousness does not grow under the sun. By na ture there IS none righteous, no, not one. But Christ, the righteousness of Clod has endorsed our fallen race and paid all the demands-of the law and by faith in His name we have a righteousness that will pass us at the rates of glory, for It Is the only coin that is current in the skies." "Family Night" will'be observed at this evening's service. Families will attend the meeting In groups. paign for the further intensifying of work all over the United States. It is hoped to be able to establish thir teen distinct districts which will em brace every state in the Union. Each district will be under direct supervision and it is claimed that marked iresults in membership growth and scoutcraft development will be obtained, as this is the case in the Middlo West and on the Pa cific Coast, where such arrangements have been in force for some time. Volunteers for Red Cross service! Headquarters wants to get three High school boys who will volunteer to do Red Cross work one afternoon a week. This work will require only a few hours' time and the need U urgent. Phone or come in and see us at headquarters. All scout scrlbe.s are urged to come in to headquarters at least once a week. Come in before Thurs day night if possible and you can bring your troop story along with you. We plan to arrange a troop mailbox at headquarters and want the scribes to make at least one reg ular weekly trip to collect matter for the scoutmasters and troops. TROOP 11 PLANS FOR NEW YEAR Boys Expect to Make Good Showing at Rally 'on Monday Evening At the meeting on last Friday night there were several things worth mentioning that helped to make the meeting a pleasant and successful one. Mr. Manser was welcomed home from his trip to New York state by being presented with an umbrella. The money was contributed by the boys and this served as a small re membrance from the troop for Christmas. The giving of the pres ent was somewhat delayed, as Mr. Manser left the city with too short notice to enable the committee in charge of the buying to take any action. Many new plans were made for the new year, some of which were a new dues paying proposition, scout work and new rules. The cook books which are being sold by the various troops In the city were distributed at the meeting. Each boy is accounted for so many and the troop hopes to establish a rec ord. The scout diaries for 1918 were sold to the boys at the prescribed price of ten cents. Each active scout should have a diary for this new year. Every member of Troop 11 has purchased a diary so far. Troop 11 is prepared to make a good account of itself at the Scout Rally on Monday night, January 14. Troop 11 did not show up very well at the rally previous, but the .boys have been working hard and expect to carry away some honors of the evening. There was no hike last Saturday, as the weather man called for either snow or rain. The weather man was entirely wrong, as Saturday would have been an ideal day for a hike in winter. The boys are wait ing for a hike to-morrow, if pos sible. When there are no hikes for two or three weeks the boys are not themselves. The reason is that, through Mr. Manser's interest shown in the boys, a hike is taken regular ly Qvery Saturday, starting at about 10 o'clock in the morning, return ing to the city about 5 p. m. The Glee Club held a meeting for practice at the home of Scout "Wil liam Harrow, 1207 Derry street. The club may sing at the rally on Monday night, as they are fully pre pared. Notice to all scouts: Please do not kid the singers, as it is their first attempt of this kind. Help us along. "A scout is helpful." Charles Crist. Scout Scribe.
