$ NEWS ftNP NOTES OF THE BOY SCOUTS WILLING YOUTHS SHOW STAMINA Scouts Have Initiative and Pluck in Accomplishing Their Duty Troop 20 was certainly glad of the opportunity afforded the Scouts of Harrlsburg on the Fourth to do some real Scout work by serving ice water and keeping the intersections open. What is true in our troop is also the same throughout the city. The Scouts in charge of ice water stations were worked to the limit and the individual drinking cups soon gave out and then tumblers and cups were used instead. The re ports from the various stations show that an average of about six tubs of ice water per station, was served to the paraders. More difficult still was the job of keepiir? the streets open in case of lire or other emergency. Several indignant chauffeurs were very skeptical about moving their autos when asked to do so by a Scout. They soon realized that the Scout meant business however, when a statrpoliceman rode up and ordered them off the street. This being the first opportunity for the Scouts of this city to help the police, quite a few people doubted the Scout's au thority in several cases until a mem ber of the state police would ap proach, and then the parties would leave in a hurry. How Scouts Work In one case, in another part of the city, a Scout, following his instruc tions from the police requested a man to move his car from the street in question and upon his refusal a motorcycle officer was called, but still the man refused to move. It ivas then that the motorcycle officer blew his whistle which brought an other policeman to his assistance. The officer jumped in beside the chauffeur and escorted the man and his family to the police station where the question was settled. That is just one instance which shows that the police are back of the Scouts when they are called upon to help out. The people will soon realize that a Scout means business when he is on duty. After the parade several Scouts assisted the police by directing the traffic in the congested districts and in many other ways. With the con fidence gained with the first experi ence of this nature, Troop 20 is all the more confident, ready for duty, and welcomes the calls for service to be made In the future. People who think that Scouts only do things when in their uniform and assigned to their posts are very much mistaken. A Scout must do at least one good turn every day. Following is given two good turns which are not of the ordinary. The other day a member of our trooi was going swimming with a friend, and as they were passing down a certain street they heard a loud explosion which was followed by piercing screams. A few seconds later a colored woman emerged from the house not very far away; her clothing all aflame, saturated with kerosene. The Scout, using his bathing suit and the woman's husband's coat with the help of the Scout's friend soon had the fire smothered. While the others stayed to do anything they could for the woman who was in agony, the Scout went to a near-by telephone and. after wasting about 30 perfectly good sec onds, finally convinced two women who were using the line at the time, that the ambulance call was more important than their conversation, and the ambulance was summoned at cnce. No, the Scout did not have to hunt in the telephone book for the number —he knew it—he was prepared for any emergency and did not waste time unnecessarily. While waiting for the It was found that the woman's arms had suffered the most and these were burned very badly. Nothing could be done in the line of First Aid for by the time the material was procured and the wounds ban daged, the ambulance would be there, and then they would all have to come off again at the hospital which would cause unnecessary suf fering. The ambulance arrived in a few minutes and the lady was soon on her way to the hospital. In another instance a Scout was going to his work one morning lately, and using his power of ob servation, as a Scout is taught, he discovered a hole in the street about a yard in diameter. Upon close ex amination he found that n water pipe had burst and that the hole extended far under the street. What did he do then? Go about his business or perhaps say to him self "Let Charlie do it." No sir. Hurrying to a blacksmith shop which was near at hand he pro cured a nail keg and put it near the hole to warn vehicles while he called the mayor's office. In a short time the Water Department was busy, and thus was averted the danger of some vehicle perhaps a lire engine, hurrying to its destina tion, from plunging into the hole, probably killing several persons. These are but two instances In which a Scout did real service. Yet Scouts are on the job all the time, always ready to give assistance and be of service to some one. G. P. WEAVER, Assistant Scoutmaster. Black Walnut Survey Keeps Scouts Busy Scouts, keep goin* on the Black Walnut Survey. Uncle Sam needs the lumber in large quantities, and ho wants It wherever he can get it. Anything from one log to a car load. Scouts all over the country are reporting the finding of about 800,000 feet of timber every day, but even that amount Is not too much. Some of the Harrlsburg Troops have accepted certain districts to cover in either Dauphin or Cum berland counties. Come into head quarters and locate your district on the map. There 14 Jots of space left. Black walnut logs pay be de livered to the railroafl to be used by the government for the making of gunstocks and airplane propel lors. IxJgs can be six feet and up long, and one-half inch and up in diameter. UNDERTAKER IT4I Chas. H. Mauk N horH t " I PRIVATE AUBDUNOfi PHONE* FRIDAY EVENING, Scouts Who Aided on July 4 Celebration Thanked by Captain of Traffic Squad There is but one thing to say about the way the scouts handled their work on the Fourth. For our first "big job," it was splendidly done. The shortage of paper cups was something we could not foresee, uur supply of 20,000 was soon ex hausted. Next time we will be bet ter "prepared." Many of the scouts had amusing experiences with people. Some of the paraders insisted that the scouts accept money. In every case it was, of course, refused, but one man held onto the scout and slipped the money into his pocket. That scout is still looking for the parader in or der to return the coin. Many people wanted to know the cost of a cupful. Captain Thompson is enthusiastic over the way the traffic question was handled. Very few" cars got into the restricted zone, and those that did were politely but firmly escorted out. Every scout reported that he enjoyed the strenuous work, for the police backed him up in every way. The scout has just re ceived a letter from Captain of Po lice Thompson. He says: "My Dear Sir: —Now that the Fourth of July demonstration in Harrisburg is a matter of history, and the success of which will be re membered by all of us for years to come, we feel that due cred.#- belongs to those who so ably arranged the details and assisted this bureau in maintaining order on that day, therefore the Mayor joins me in ex tending to you the thanks of this bureau for the co-operation and as sistance rendered us on this occa sion by detailing Boy Scouts for spe cial duty on that day. Our citisens appreciate your efforts and we can assure you that we will be glad to reciprocate at any time in the fu ture that you may command us. "Yours very truly, "JOS. P.

The spot is a lifteen acre meadow on the Ashburn larm. Fine swimming, boating, tishing and lots of chance for na ture study. The local council will provide all tentage, a mess hall and kitch en supplies. This is but the be ginning of a permanent scout camp. A letter has gone out to the coutmasters, telling of the plans, and reservations are now being made. Every scout should spend at i least a week under canvas this ] summer. The scout executive wants to | buy some second-hand tents. If | any scout or troop has some for I sale, please call up headquarters, and give the details. As the camp I will be started early next week, I I there is not much time to get ! them. Fourth of July parade, also wrote a letter of thanks. His letter follows: "I feel that I would not be doing justice to the Boy Scouts of this city if I were to remain silent regarding their value during the large Ameri canization demonstration of July Fourth, when at least thirty thou sand American and foreign-born pa ■ aded. "The parade was made up in eight divisions. Each division marshal was supplied with four mounted Boy Scouts as messengers. Several hun dred scouts furnished ice water to the parader all along the line of march, while others assisted in di recting traffic at street intersections. "They all performed their re spective duties with promptness and courtesy, showing the discipline they rre taught, and carrying out in every detail the principles of your organ ization. They are the making of tine soldiers, good businessmen and re spected citizens." HAHRISBURG (AAM&L TELEGRAPH ! "KEEPING FIT" IS BOY SCOUT DUTY | Youngsters Show How to Give Their Bodies a Square Deal Local headquarters has just re ceived a copy of a pamphlet en titled "Keeping Fit." It is printed by the government. It says that fitness demands six things: 1. Muscular strength. 2. Endurance. 3. Energy. , 4. Will power. 5. Courage. 6. Self control. I The Scout who is living up to his I oath is developing himself along each one of these lines. Remember the third section of your oath. "On my honor I will do my best—to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." It is a disgrace in these days to be physically unfit, for the service of our country, if the ailment could have been cured or avoided. Uncle Sam appeals to the Scout of to-day to keep himself in first-class form. The pamphlet says that there are four Scout handicaps to fitness. 1. Defective eyes. 2. Defective teeth. 3. Defective feet. 4. Disease. The handbook covers all these handicaps, and tells how to avoid them. The Scout who obeys the rules of health is the Scout who is best prepared. Your body is your life-long, will ing servant. Give it a square deal, and it will give you a square deal and more —it will give you back pure blood and strong, skilled mus cles, and a clear brain for your fu tuie happiness, your country's ser vice. and the world's work. Troop Sixteen Does Not Shirk From Its Tasks Scouts should not accept tips for doing good turns. This maxim is as old as the scout movement, but when some large-hearted men in the Fourth of July parade insisted on throwing money at our Ice water squads what could we do but pick it up when the chance came. Seventy five cents, so obtained, was turned into our treasury and we immediate ly decided to buy a cooking grate with it. If this should reach the eye of any of our friends they will know that they have had a part |in making our hikes more enjoy able. Unknown benefactors we thank you. AVe had a great hike on Saturday. Sorry more fellows weren't out to enjoy it. We rode to the end of 'he Rockville line and hiked to a place in Clark's Valley, about a half mile above the sawmill. Here amid the most beautiful surroundings we've ever enjojed, we cooked our supper and ate everything we had along and almost wished for more. Then we did some tracking over a trail about "a mile long on Third Mountain. We started home about an hour later and hit a good pace coming down. }Ve reached Dauphin about 9 o'clock and just below the railroad some good Samaritan picked us up and brought us down to Front and Broad streets. The fact that their car was already full did not make them hesitate; they piled us in re gardless. Such good deeds make life worth living and we hope that we made these good people feel the gratitude that was in our hearts. Our meeting last night was well attended. One new name was add ed to our roll. Assistant Mehring announced a hike to be devoted en tirely to signal practice, Monday, July 22, meeting at the church at 7.30 p. m. and leaving promptly tor a destination to be announced later. Every tenderfoot who has an eye on that device shaped like a scroll, turn ed up like a scout's mouth should be, and with that like knot of wire sus pended from the center, you know what I mean, should be in on this. Our new second class men havo them going. McGary has the fever. He expects to be examined this week and next Monday we believe that more fellows will request that their certificates be sent to headquarters. Speaking of second class tests makes me think that some of the fellows WAR STAMPS What about your W. S. S. sales? The national headquarters has started to distribute the Achieve ment buttons and the Treasury Department is about ready to send out "ace" medals. Get busy and keep busy, scouts. Uncle Sam needs the money, and you can help him get it. If you have no red cards, come into headquarters and get a sup- Ply. Don't be a slacker. feel ('hat it's useless to try. There is a good line of talk in answer to this in this oft-quoted verse: Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But with a chuckle replied— Maybe it couldn't, but he would be one (Who wouldn't say so till he tried. So he backed right in with a trace of a gun on his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn't be done and—he did it. The Lutheran Red Cross auxiliary was meeting jn one of the adjoining rooms and Mrs. Markward and Miss Margaret Vance very kindly came over and told us all about front line packets. It was most interesting and we thank these good ladies for their thoughtfulness. DePuy and Eveler passed their tenderfoot requirements and they ought to be wearing their badges next week. Goodman and Liddick are next in line. Next week we want to talk about camp and that means we are going to have every fellow who is in town at the meeting. Boost the local council. Mr. Vir gin, Mr. Huntsberger and your own troop whatever it happens to be. Ours is Sixteen. F. A. S., Scribe. TROOP 26 Eighteen boys are registered from the new Troop, 26, at Stevens Me morial Church. Lester E. Vanaman is the scoutmaster.

The troop is going on an over night hike next Monday. JULY 12, 1918.' T Members of Troop Fifteen Stick Well to Tasks in Play and at Hard Work Troop 15 wa* out In lull force on July 4 fully prepared to do its share | of good turns whenever the oppor tunity presented and judging from ' the reports handed in, every :iObut I was on the Job from early morning I until late in the aftsrnoon doing pa trol duty, messenger and public aid. A first aid tent was erected at the corner of Second and Emerald streets and served as a public com fort station during the long wait be fore the parade passed. The tent was fully equipped with all requi sites needed for tirst aid work, in cluding stretchers and cots and As sistant Scoutmaster Boone with two scouts assisting administered first c.id to four needy persons. One case was where a man's cheek was punctured by a sharp point of a flag and first aid was given and the man was then taken to a doctor's office for further treatment. Another case was where a flag point pierced a man's hand and the scout's first aid treatment sent the man on his way rejoicing. The other two cases were treating a woman for fainting and a Lebanon brother scout for heat pros tration. The water stations along the route of the parade were fully appreciated by the paraders and the people on the curb, and the boys were kept busy from 9 until 2.30 handing a good cold drink of pure Ice water to the thirsty passersby. To say that the people of Harriaburg and visitors from outside towns appreciated the work of the scouts is putting It mild ly and judging from the tips that were offered the boys for the water the paraders thoroughly enjoyed the refreshing drinks. Of course all the scouts politely refused the offered coins with a "no, thank you." A scout is courteous and does not ac | cept pay for being helpful or court ous. The members of Troop 15 here wish to thank the residents along the route of the parade in Second street from Eemerald to Muench for [ their kind a-ssistance in allowing the j scouts the use of buckets, dippers | and water, and the privilege of using their residences as headquarters for water depots.
