✓TROOP 19 AT
CAMP VIRGIN
Scouts of Two Troops Have
Enjoyable Time at the
New Camp
Troop 19, of Harrisburg, and
Troop 1, of Camp Hill, started to
camp Saturday morning. August 3.
All went w?.l until a point about I
two miles west of Camp Hill was
reached. Here a grating sound was
heard under the truck and suddenly
it (the truck) stopped. All piled off
and it was discovered the differen
tial was "on the bum." Luckily, a
farmhouse was nearby and another
truck was telephoned for. While
waiting for it, the two scoutmasters
outlined a daily camp routine. Soon
the other truck lumbered up and
with no further mishap the camp
site was reached.
The first thing on the program
was the removal of the tents to a
better site. By messtime most of I
them had been placed and every-!
body had worked up a lusty appe-!
tite. After that first appetizing,
meal, everybody voted Susie "some j
cook."
After dinner, tents were assigned !
end three flagpoles placed for Old!
Glory and the troop flags. Wootl
was gathered for the camp fire and
at 4.30 all tumbled in the creek for,
a well-earned swim.
At 7.30 our first evening scout j
meeting and camp fire were held and ,
enjoyed by all. Taps were sounded <
at 9 and soon silence reigned over,
Camp Virgin.
The daily camp routine was as ]
follows:
Morning—6.2s. reveille: 6.30. set-]
ting-up exercises; 6.40. raising the)
colors: 6.45, wash up or dip: 7. mess; i
after mess, toothbrush drill, policing
of quarters, airing of blankets, etc.: |
5.45. tent inspection.: 9. morning,
drill and instruction in scoutcraft: ;
10.30, recreation period: 11. bathing;
11.45. mess call; 12. mess.
P. M.—1.30. afternoon drill, hikes,]
games, etc.: 4.30. bathing; 5.45, mess
call; 6. mess: 7.30. scout meeting
and camp fire: 5.45. tattoo; 9, taps.
Thursday afternoon and evening.;
August 8. was Visitors' Day. Many
of our friends came out to see us.
Nineteen of those who came from j
Camp Hill came on a big auto truck, j
Ail brought plenty of "eats." and
under the big trees along the creek
we sat down to a meal that was by
no means Hooverized. When the
inner man had been filled to burst
ing, the two troops entertained the
visitors with an exhibition of scout- j
i ing. Altogether it was an evening
long to be remembered by both the
scouts and their parents and friends.j
We had planned a marshmallow
toast for our visitors, but it was get-!
ting late and they had to leave us,
to enjoy it ourselves.
Owing to the excessive heat, only ]
one long hike was undertaken. On,
Friday morning (Aug. 9), right after,
breakfast, we started for Sterret's
Gap. Each boy carried his dinner <
in his knapsack. It was a lovely
hike through the country, though.
the state road fell far below our ex- I
pectations. About half a mile from
the summit we stopped to cook din- (
ner. The boys who had not previ
ously done so .passed the firebuild
ing and meat-cooking tests.
A half-hour rest followed dinner. '
and then we attacked the rest of the
climb. In a few minutes the top of
the mountain was reached and all
climbed up the high tower to see
the wonderful view for which we
had trudged so many miles. It far j
surpassed all we had expected. |
Miles and miles of country on both
sides of the mountain lay exposed
to view. With the aid of field j
glasses we feasted our eyes upon the ,
scene for many minutes. It was
with reluctance that we withdrew
from the enchanting sight and start
ed homeward. The return journey
was made in record time and we ar
rived back in camp Just in time to
escape a terrific storm. It was a
hungry crowd of scouts that assailed
the mess tent at suppertime.
Saturday afternoon we broke,
camp and started home. We were
all sorry to go and hope that next
year we will be able to stay for a
ionger period.
German Press Protests
Against Deceiving News
Given by Prince Henry
Washington—The continued at
tempts to deceive the German people
regarding the progress of the war j
and America's participation are |
meeting with protests in a part of
the German press, according to an
official dispatch to-day from Switz- j
erland.
The Muenchner Post, according to
the dispatch, protests against a re- !
cent speech delivered at Hamburg ]
by Prince Henry of Prussia in which J
the last battles were represented as .
German victories.
"It is scandalous." says the news- 1
Taper, "to see a person like Prince
Henry of Prussia giving the German |
people a picture of the situation j
which in no way corresponds to the
reality. Germans are not going to
let themselves be exhorted like chil- j
dren. It is ridiculous to think that
people are saying that we shall sup- j
port a fifth year of war like the four I
* preceding ones. It would be doing 1
wrong to the German people.
"Personages like Prince Henry j
would do better not to speak about j
the sufferings and miseries of the j
war. We were told for a long time j
\tiat America's entry into the war
was a mere blufT and we see to-day
that one part of the press and the [
greater part of the official orators ;
are continuing to deceive the Ger- |
man public. They would do better !
to say openly that Germany finds ;
herself to-day in an extremely serious |
situation."
It is observed that a singular si- ■
lence on everything which bears j
upon the military situation is notice- |
able in the German newspapers and '
news agencies. The Swiss dispatch ;
says that , particularly severe orders j
have been given to the press. Once in j
a while, however, mattep is allowed
to appear in certain influential news
papers which would almost seem to
be violation of the censorship rules, j
No explanation has been made of the
apparent immunity of certain jour-!
tials.

Elementary Signaling
Test B for second class rank
1 says: Know the alphabet. of the
Semaphore, or the General Service
; (International Morse) Code.
This second class test imposes no
| time limit, but it does require that
the scout know the alphabet. A sig
naling 'alphabet" includes not only
twenty-six letters, but also numerals
and conventional signs. No scout
knows the alphabet unless he can
j send the letters without looking at
• his book or signal card, and receive
them the same way.
The object of signaling is to es
tablish between units too widely
separated to communicate by word
of mouth. The object of the second
class test in signaling is to discover
the scout's ability to do this.
The best way to learn to signal
is to work in pairs. One receives
while the other sends. Remember,
Troop Two's First
Camping Experience
The Boy Scouts of Troop 2 held
their first annual camp beginning
July 26, along the Conodoguinet
creek, at the Boy Scout campsite.
The boys, twenty-seven in number,
started from their headquarters at
the Y. >l. H. A., at noon, and were
soon on their way for a week of fun.
The boys arrived at camp forty-five
minutes later in a truck.
The boys no sooner go there than
they began to unload, while the of
ficial photographer snapped few
pictures of the "hard working men."
The boys, after finishing their work,
including the putting up of two big
patrol tents, went swimming to get
cooled off. Bugler Cohen then blew
assembly, and we had flagraising and
the official camp opening. The boys
next had supper at 6.30. After sup
per they built a large campfire and
sat around it telling stories and held
a meeting. At 9.30 taps were sound
ed and the tired boys went to bed
expecting to have a good night's rest.
But they were very much disap
pointed. as it was some of the boys'
first camping experience.
There was one particular Scout in
one of the tents called the "Wild
Man's Tent," who could not sleep
and began talking to the rest of the
boys. Of course they could not sleep
and they got angry. He then told
them that talking, when you could
not sleep, was a good tonic for the
nerves.
Just before camp closed the boys
took a hike to Sterrett's Gap, a dis
tance of sixteen miles. They started
at 9.30, took dinner along, and came
home at 3.30. The hoys hiked a hill
where they were going. When they
got there they were 1,000 feet above
sealevel. The scoutmaster and Mr.
Hurshler accompanied the scouts.
Coming home the boys saw a dead

Test 9—Saving
Test 9 specifies "Earn and deposit;
at least $1 in a public bank." The)
new ruling allows the scout to pos- :
sess a Liberty Bond or W. S. S. in t
place of the above.
There are lots of scouts and peo- j
I pie who do not understand about)
the scout rule of refusing to receive
money. The fifth scout law says:!
"A scout Is courteous." He must,
not take pay for being helpful or;
courteous. There Is quite a differ- j
ence between working and doing aj
good turn. Scouts are encouraged
to work, and work for money in order!

oath who would accept a tip for do-;
ing his plain duty.

Fife and Drum Corps
Now at Troop Nine
j One of the most progressive troops
iin the city is Troop 9, at Capital
! Street Presbyterian Church, under
j Scoutmaster Valentine.
One of the latest developments is
i the formation of a fife and drum
i corps, composed entirely of scouts
| of the troop.
A competent instructor will teach
j the boys. They are entering into j
I the new field with splendid spirit, |
| and yet at the same time are not)
[ allowing their scoutcraft to suffer.
; Every tenderfoot in the troop is
working hard for advancement and
! also to win. as Scoutmaster Walter
j Massey did recently, an Achievement

; selling W. S. S.
The troop recently heard from its:
old assistant scoutmaster, Armon |
Compton, who is now in France with
I the Thirty-fifth Field Artillery.
BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS
The Boy Scouts will be very glad
to collect books for the soldiers.
Any one having a bundle of books
to be delivered should call Scout
Headquarters. Bell phone 1962R, and
a scout will be sent.

PLAN FOR TRIP
TO SCOUT CAMP
Troop 12 Makes Plans For
Outing; Postpone Festival
and Bicycle Ride
Troop 12 finished plans for carnp
j ing last meeting night. .On August
| 24 each Scout will be expected to
! report at the Memorial Lutheran
j Church fully prepared for a week's
! camping trip. The Scouts were in
! structed to bring their camp dues
; on the next meeting night. Friday,
; August 16.
Many Scouts heard reports about
! the City Camp and are expecting to
. have a very fine time on their trip.
I On account of some mtsunder
j standings and conditions the Troop
I will be forced to postpone the festi
! val and the bicycle squad ride in
definitely.
The Troop was favored with a 1
! visit from the Scoutmaster and a j
couple of Scouts from Troop 6. > The
Scoutmaster gave us a little talk* and
assured us of the friendly relations •
existing between Troop 12 and Troop |
8. They are willing to co-operate
with us any time.
A merit system was devised by j
Assistant Scoutmaster Haehnlen. and <
the Scouts are lined up each meet- I
ing night to be "looked over." Mer
its are given especially for "good !
turns" and personal appearance. It 1
is taking on the form of a contest,
which will end on the first of Sep- !
tember. Many Scouts are ambitious '
to win this contest. Prizes in the'
form of Scout equipment will be j.
awarded to the first ihree Scouts j
having the most merits. The pa- !
trols having the most merits will be j
awarded with some patrol equip- j
ment, such as flags, colors, etc. j
. In order to raise some money and
put the Troop on a good financial!
standing, the dues were raised from j
two cents a week to Ave cents a
week. ,
A game of haseball is played ev- j
ery meeting night before the meet- I
ing.

Robins Locate Worms by
Hearing, Says an Expert
"It appears that the Topeka Capi
tal," says The Kansas City Star, "was
at fault in its recent observation that
a robin scratches in the earth for
worms. The lota Register has pro
duced expert testimony showing that
a robin locates worms under the soil
with Its acute sense of hearing."
Expert testimony is hardly neces
sary to justify the position of The i
lola Register. And it is hard to con- |
ceive how any editor, especially the
editor of The 'fopeka Capital, could ■
make such a bull as to say that a i
robin "scratches foe worms." Watch j
a robin on the lawn for five minutes ;
and his method will begin to become, j
plain to you. He hops along—stops— !
cocks his head to one side in a lis- !
tening attitude—suddenly gives u :
powerful peck at the sod—and rears f
back, dragging a reluctant and elas- i
tic worm from its lair. Never a i
scratch does he give, and he does :
not dig with his beak, either. And
he doesn't discover the worm by his
sense of sight, or he wouldn't hold I
his head sidewise. He must be lis- '
tening.
We do not believe that the worm '
sings as he digs, thus betraying his j
presence to his enemy. Rut he must :
I make a tiny rustling noise as he j
' pushes the earth aside. We can't j
] hear it, but a robin can.—Cleveland !
