hers of the troop hiked to Oyster's
Dam on the Conodoquinet, cooked
supper, erected shelter tents and
crowded around a glowing campflre
to spend the evening with songs and
stories. All turned in at an early
hour, but sleep was a stranger and
about 2 o'clock an emergency call
was given, utensils packed, tents
struck, blankets rolled and slung
across backs, fires put out and the
troop started an early morning hike
across dark roads anji fields. At 3
o'clock came a welcome rest. Fires
were again lighted and before the
first gray streak of dawn began to
show in the east, breakfast was
cooked and eaten with a relish. After
breakfast some of the Scouts made
themselves comfortable in a large
barn and at last fell asleep. Every
one was awake with the sunrise and
after mooning wash the troop drew
up for Inspection, setting-up exercise
and semaphore drill. Still fighting for
our old place as the unquestioned
champions of the semaphore code.
Monday night saw the troop on a
hike and marshmallow toast with
the Susquehannock Camp Fire Girls.
A drenching rain soaked everyone to
the- skin but a friendly barn and
steaming coffee helped to warm the
cold hikers. The only regret express
ed on the trip was that the rain
stopped too soon as many were un
willing to leave the more than com
fortable haymow.
All the Scouta in the troop are re
quested to collect .all the old news
papers and magazines possible and
bring them to the Scout room on
Saturday, May 11. They will be sold
immediately and the money turned
into the troop treasury.
The baseball team will meet the
team of Troop 8 next week. Troop
8 looks forward to this game with
confidence. Their coaoh, Scoutmaster
Jenkins, Is an old-time baseball man
and promises to have some stuff up
his sleeve. Whether this can success
fully buck the champion athletic
troop of the city remains to be seen.
On Saturday, May 18, the troop
will hold its second annual inter
patrol track meet when the Eagle
and Silver Fox will meet the Wolf
and Tiger and endeavor to get square
for last year's defeat when the lat
ter won by the score of 105 to 96.
The troop will be divided into three
classes: First class, Scouts weighing
over 110 pounds; second class, Scouts
between 85 and 110; third class,
scouts under 85 pounds. All entries
niusP be handed to Athletic Director
Haehnlen or Scoutmaster Hunts

TROOP EIGHT HAS
BUSY SCHEDULES
"Watch Us Grow" Slogan;
Being Lined Up With
a Will
The "spirits" are still working at
Troop 8 and shoving us to the front
Our motto is, "Watch Us Grow." We
sure are going some. Seven new
members were taken in on Monday
evening and took the oath. Thirty
five scouts were present at the meet
ing on Monday. There was also one
visitor. The chaplain of the troop is
to be complimented for his fine
work. In opening the meeting on
Monday he read from the book of
Ruth about the "Gleaners after the
Reapers." Fellows don't forget that
is what all scouts are at this time.
Get to work! Sell bonds! Not only
for personal honor but for Uncle
Sam. A report was made at the
meeting Monday as follows: Four
scouts sold fourteen bonds at fifty
dollars each, making a total of S7OO.
Listen, fellows! We are just started.
At the meeting on Monday even
ing John Duncan was appointed
temporary senior patrol leader. He
was given this honor for the good
work he did on Friday evening in
conducting the members of the troop
to the rally.
Color bearers were also elected,
namely: George Bowman and Rus
sell Walters. A new secretary was
also elected at the meeting to suc
ceed Spotz. Spotz resigned on ac
oount of the responsibility which is
on his shoulders at the present time.
Russell Winks is the new secretary.
He won out of a field of four can
didates.
Five names were put up for base
ball manager. McLinn and Winks
were tied at twelve votes each. Mc-
Linn, on account of being in the
troop longest, was given the position
conditionally. Winks will act as as
sistant manager.
The track squad was called for
practice Thursday morning.
The fellows of the troop have de
cided to raise the dues to five cents
per week instead of ten cents per
month.
A bicycle ride will be held this
evening. A good time Is expected, so
be there.
The new patrol has been started
and a, meeting was held this week
to decide upon a name for the pa
trol. This patrol promises to be
one of the liveliest ones in the troop
the way they have started to move.
A call was made for candidates to
serve at the Liberty Loan tent |n
front of the post office. Although
more volunteered only four were
selected. They are Ralph Wallis,
Kdgar Spotz, H. Buchfield and Rus
sell Walters.
Twenty-nine of the scouts attend
ed the Christian Bndeavor meeting
at the church on Sunday evening.
The fellows were led to the meet
ing by the "spirits" and are very
proud of the turnout they had that
evening.
We met In our new meeting room
for the first time on Monday even
ing. This was the first time we had
the use of a piano In our meetings
and we opened the meeting with a
song service. Harlan Kline was at
the piano. The singing was led by
Shader and was very good consid
ering the first time we were to
gether.
On Tuesday evehlng the first of a
series of lnterpatrol contests and
get-together nights was held. The
evening was opened by prayer by
the chaplain, John Duncan. This
was followed by a talk by Dr.Reisch,
the pastor of the church. His talk
was very interesting as well as en
couraging.
Tho next speaker was the new
scout executh'e, J. Frederick Virgin.
This troop has the honor of being
the first of Harrisburg to have the
pleasure of Mr. Virgin's presence at
any meeting of the troop. We, the
members of Troop 8, shall always
remember his presence with us that
evening. Mr. Virgin is just what he
called himself, "a big brother scout."
He talked of scouting in Harrisburg
in the past and then looked into the
tuture and made some predictions of
scouting to come. Altogether his
speech was fine and enjoyed by ev
ery member present. We wish to
thank Mr. Virgin for his attend
ance at the meeting.
After Mr. Virgin's speech our
"mysterious spirits" began working
and gave us a talk on "Troop 8 of
the Past and Troop 8 of the Future."
The talk was very interesting and
to the point.

Examinations Are Held
in First Aid Work
The regular weekly meeting of
Troop 20 was held last Thursdav.
Examinations were given in first aid
and several other of the second class
requirements. The following scouts
were granted certificates last week:
Raymond Balsbaugh, Charles Par
sons, Edwin Wagner.
On Friday evening the troop
marched down to the Grace M. E.
Church to attend the Liberty Loan
rally. Members of the troop took
part In the program, although no
members received war medals, for
the obvious reason that the troop
did not take part in the campaigns
preceding this one as we were not
actually organized at the time.
On Tuesday evening the troop
paraded in the district assigned it,
carrying many banners boosting the
Third Liberty Loan and W. S. S.
Several scouts made sales. Charles
Parsons, the troop bugler, made his
first public appearance and made an
excellent showing.
On Thursday evening the troop
paraded to Second and Pine streets
carrying the Liberty Loan banners,
where they took part in a patriotlo
service.
This evening the regular monthly
meeting will be held. The most im
portant item on the program is the
balloting for several candidates.
Scouts are requested to bring the
data regarding the number of houses
and stores in their district. Patrol
leaders' reports for April are due to
night. Don't forget that this Is the
last night for your 1 registration if
you want your name sent In with
the troop.
The troop wishes to announce that
it Is ready to give Its Tull co-opera
tion to the scout executive, J. Fred
erick Virgin, and pledges its support
to the limit.
Watch seouting grow In Harris
burg!

May 12, "Mother's Day;"
All Must Write Home
From Front Overseas
Parbt, May 3.—"Mother's Day"—a
day on which every soldier of the
American Expeditionary* Forces,
young and old, high and low, is ex
pected to write home to mother —
has been fixed for May 12. The Idea
originated with The Stars and
Stripes, the official newspaper of
the American forces in Europe, and
was approved by headquarters, which
Is doing everything possible to help
it along.
The post office is rising to the oc
casion and the Y. M. C. A. lias prom
ised that on that date its huts will
be stoeked with an inexhaustible
supply of writing paper. The censors
have decided to work overtime, until
midnight If necessary, so that the
letters will be speeded on to the
United States without delay.
TROOP 2 HOLDS AN
INTERESTING MEETING
A very interesting meeting of
Troop 2 was held Monday night at
the Y. M. H. A. rooms. Friday night,
May 3, there will be a special meet
ing to arrange details of the hike to
be held Saturday, May 4. Tests will
be given on this hike.
Monday, May 13, baseball practice
will be held at North and Cowden
streets. Wednesday night will be
drill night. A bicycle patrol has

ter part of next month an ice cream
festival will be held and the pro
ceeds will go to the scout camping
