4 To the Scouts of Harrisburg By J. H. Stine Well Scouts, this Is the last time that I shall write Scout messages for you through the medium of the weekly Scout Page. As you no doubt know by this time, I am leaving for the training camps to take up work with the soldiers. The war has brought many changes to the Scout lineup In Harrisburg, and more will undoubtedly come. We should all ' feel very grateful when our definite t-all comes and our services are re question for work in connection with the Government's war program. We should be very glad indeed, when we look back over the past ten months and realize that our or ganization has grown, in that short time from 8 troops to 22 troops. Our efficiency as an agent for Uncle Sam has practically tripled. We have covered the town from end to end with placards and posters of the Liberty Loan campaigns. We have done valuable work for the Red Cross, and other institutions. We have gathered thousands of books for the soldiers to read while in training camps and on transports. We have sold Thrift Stamps and have secured purchasers of Thrift Stamps through the "lied Post Card plan," that will help Unci® Sam in buying a.- great quantity of war ma terial. My work calls me to the training camps; your work is here in Harris burg, doing the things that organiz ed boyhood has so well demonstrat ed its ability to do. I go to help prepare men for the serious work of war; you must keep eternally at work to help sustain and support these men while they are at war. Some d!fy. after this great war Is over, an<l the historians have pre pared now textbooks for the public schools, I am confident that you will read in them of how the Boy Scouts of America worked and helped their older brothers and their fathers to win the war.

This campaign will be a "clean up" house-to-house canvass, just be fore. the close of the general cam paign. The Scout campaign will open on the second Saturday before the clos ing date announced for the regular campaign, thus making It possible to have two Saturdays within the period of the Boy Scout campaign. "Gleaners After Uie Reapers'' The scouts will make sure that no one is overlooked and will also give subscribers an opportunity to take just a little bit more. The Boy Scouts of America, as a distinctive service to their country, will work as "gleaners • after the reapers." The primary motive of this Boy Scout campaign is to serve our coun try and help win the war. The plan of having the Boy Scouts campaign at the end of the regular campaign in a house-to-house can vass is the particular service that has ; been assigned to the Boy Scouts of America by the United States Treas ury Department. x In conclusion with the campaign the following letter has been ad dhessed to all commissioned scout officials by James E. West, Chief Scout Executive: A Warning Word "I was called on the long distance phone this morning by the Chair man of the Liberty Loan Committee of Pennsylvania who brought to my attention the fact that Boy Scouts in | To Swat the Kaiser! Boy Scouts have been showing their patriotism in a tangible way during this war. They have been throwing their whole hearts into the struggle—"to swat the Kaiser!" Working without pay, they have aided the government scores of times, by doing work which was vi tally necessary. But Boy Scouts are doing the greatest work of all, right now! They are getting applications for the Third Liberty Loan, Uncle Sam's gift to the good citizenship of the country. These Boy Scouts are con ferring an honor upon every man, woman and child of the country, when they allow Bond purchasers to sign an application blank, from the hand of one of these boys in khaki. To sign that application some parts of the state were making a house-to-house can%'ass for the purpose of urging people to hold their- subscriptions for the Boy Scouts' Campaign from April 27 to to May 4 th. "I assured this gentleman that 1 was confident that the condition he spoke of was not typical but merely represented enthusiasm of youth and perhaps lack of appreciation <of what was involved In our Liberty Loan work. "We have been asked to serve as 'gleaners after the reapers,' and, as such we must be square in playing the game. "Certainly we should not do anything to encourage people to hold up their subscriptions merely for the purpose of giving Scouts-cred it. .Todo so would defeat the main purpose of our campaign which Is service td our Government. "Please take steps to have the scouts within your jurisdiction and under your leadership fully appre ciate the facts and refrain from se curing promises direct or indirect of any character prior to April 27th as members of the Boy Scouts of Amer ica. From all indications, notwith standing the great handicaps under I which we are working, the 3rd Lib | erty Loan Campaign Is going to far I exceed the last, both in the number of subscriptions and the, amount of money. , "It will mean, as in previous cam paigns, that the appeal will be made for people to take out additional amounts, and this is what they should do if their financial resources permit. This will be a real service to the Government." BOY SCOUT CONVENTION One of the most interesting and enthusiastic Boy Scout Conventions held to dato took place at Balti more Monday and Tuesday, April 1 and 2. Scouting was discussed from all angles. Among the speakers were James E. West, Chief. Scout Executive, whose subject was "Scout ing and the Nation:" Chief Sea | Scout, James A. Wilder, who spoke; on "Sea Scouting." Mr. Wilder had under his care six hundred scouts in the Philippine Islands. The subject of map making in the simplest form was discussed by F. E. Matthes of the United States Geological Survey. This -speaker surveyed the Grand Canyon from the mouth to source and from shore to shore. His ex periences make up a wonderful story. There were about 125 Scout masters present. Among the Har risburg men were John German, Jr., Lewis P. Jenkins and Kd Manser. LEWIS P. JENKINS, Scoutmaster Troop 2 BDUWUBBURG 9&M* TELEGKXFB blank is an honor, to hold a Liber ty Loan Bond of the Third Series, Is a privilege which will be fought for in the years to come. These pre cious slips of paper will be ' even more precious to future generations. They will be proud to know that the people living at the time of this world war, have shown their faith in the government, by purchasing Liberty Bonds. And they will be proud to own the bond, because it shows that the nation has been unit ed in putting over, this big project. Harrisburg is going over the top in her bond sales. She is going over the top with colors flying, with whistles blowing, bells ringing, and crowds cheering. But the reason stye is going over the top, is because Boy Scouts have put their shoulders to the wheel and have pushed. Service First; Play Afterwards Troop 13 uses system in its war work, having divided Its district into as many as they have patrols, each patrol leader being responsible for their district, the result being that the war service on Saturday was lin ished in the forenoon and at one thirty the scouts started on their hike to Spooky Hollow, equipped for map-making. They marched out State Street to Seventeenth where they were met by another patrol and from there continued their hike to Nineteenth and Herr streets, where the Troop sign (a triangle 13 in the center) indicated that the advance guard was already in the Hollow. And from here on the troop started Indian fashion in sin gle llle at scout-pace over the hills and down in the hollow till they met the advance guard at the camping spot. Here fifteen scouts took off their outside Second class tests and sev eral, their first class tests, In map making, and, after playing a num ber of games, as the shadows start ed to lower over the hollowi the troop started towards home; But Scout (Fat) Snyder took the fatal look back and lo he saw spooks! and the last seen of him. he was heading over the hills toward Penbrook with Scout Moeslein trying to stop him. Fat Is some runner. ATTEND SSERVICE Troop 13 attended a special Patri otic Service at Pine Street Church last Saturday evening. The troop was honored by the church stand ing while the troop marched out at the end of the service.
