Last Fridny evening Troop Thir teen at their weekly scout meeting received a special invitation from the Scout Troop No. Eight to attend a union meeting on Monday evening, February 24, at Lutheran Church on Thirteenth street. Therefore, the troop gathered at the Boyd Memorial building at 7.30 P. M. on Monday evening and from there marched to the hHI. At 7.45 the troop arrived at Troop Eight's meeting place and there enjoyed a fine scout meeting. The program was a simple affair with former Scout master Swope of Troop Twenty as the principal speaker of the even ing. Mr. Swope spoke of George Washington's Life and with his talk, slides were shown to illustrate his lecture. Troop Eight was highly honored by having .the office scout present at the meetlpg. There was singing during the meeting and a member of Eight helped the pro gram committee along by furnish ing music on the saxaphone. The meeting was held in the Sun day school room of the church, and after tho program. Troop Thirteen was allowed to visit Troop Eight's scout room which was decorated with penants and pictures of hikes and camp scenes. After looking the scout room over, both troops ad journed to the basement of the church where there the two troops sat down at tables provided for them. Veils and songs wej-e given and then the "eats" were served. There were only thirty-eight scouts of Troop Thirteen present, and it required a hustle on the part of the scouts acting as cooks to supply the tw'o troops with eats and after a fine and interesting time. Thirteen de parted for home. In a word of appreciation, every scout of Troop Thirteen extends his sincere thanks for the enjoyable time he had at the union .meeting last Monday evening, and we hope that sftnie time in the future, we may do the same for you. TROOP SEVEN'S BIG BANQUET Father and Son Dinner a -Big Success, Says Scribe Miller The Father and Son banquet in honor of the anniveisary of Troop 7 last Friday evening .was an enjoyable time for the Scouts. The ladles un der the direction of Mrs. Gross prov ed their ability to know what Scouts like best. Mr. Bailey, Assistant Scoutmaster was the toast master. Mr. Musser, chairman of the Troop Committee, the Scoutmaster, and the Scout Ex ecutive gave interesting talks. Martin Miller, just returned from France received a great welcome. He told his idea of the virtues of a true soldier of the United States, and said that cowardice, selfishness and boast ing are some of the things Scouts are trying to avoid in their lives. About sixty-two persons helped to eat the chicken dtnnei. A special meeting was held on Monday evening to consider some un finished business. The new registra tion cards were given out. A com mittee was appointed to plan and as sist in a coming play and concert, to be given in the near future. The committee consists of Joseph Gold stein, Jacob Stacks, Carl Gingrich, Paul Henning, and Lloyd Gotwalt. Tuesday evening the basket-ball teafs had a practice game in the Steeje School building. Jacob Stacks was" elected treasurer of our teams. An interesting and well written ar ticle on the fundamental teachings of Scouting will be found in the March 1 issue of the Christian Her ald. Get your parents to read it. This evening the coming "Scout Drive" will be talked over. Troop 7 will do its share to boost Scouting in this drive. RUDOLPH MILLER, Scribe. 9COVTS AT SERVICES The Scouts of Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Troop 16, attended services in a body on Sunday evening. They were addressed by Scout Executive Virgin and Dr. Markward. Mr. Vir gin explained in his talk that besides the time a boy spends in sleeping and in school there remains 3,000 hours of time in one year and Scout ing is the thing that puts this time to good usage, by teaching a boy to be constructive Instead of destruc tive. Dr. Markward save a very Inter esting: talk, telling us some incidents of the great war. He told us of some small churches In France that had as hi-jh as one hundred gold stars in their service (lags. CLEON CRISWELL, Scribe. Cubs and Everybody Thought Service Great How did you like the service on Sunday night? If you were there you'll say "It was great." If you wer e not there you missed it. Mr. Virgin's address was fine, and I'm sure that many parents know now Just what scouting stands for. I heard a lot of people say nice things about' his ability as a speaker and one mother said that the only ob jection 'she had to his address was that it wasn't long enough, but the father said "Let's keep that dark and make him curious so he'll come again." Dr. Markward's address on the "American Wall" was great. I wish some of our radical friends could have heard what he had to say about the Hoishe—you'll have to finish it I can't, but you know what I mean. The music—well you should have heard Mr. Gibson sing "Keep the Home Fires Burning." Sorry that four of our fellows missed all this good stuff. I heard the Cubmaster tell Mr. Virgin that they had a great father's meeting last Friday, our dads were so interested that th e meeting lasted over two hours. One tiling they de cided concerns us quite a lot—uni forms for cubs—a blue shirt, long sleeves, soft collar attached; no sport shirt, khaki knee pants, also Scout shorts so we can go barekneed in the summer, black stockings and shoes, a dark coat of any kind, and, of course, the cub hat and a dark green four-in-hand necktie. It's not an expensive uniform and one that will look well. We have a parade on for March 17th so 'et's get busy and see if we can't have our new clothes by that time. I l|now you've heard that Troop Sixteen rented the house in the York Hills, we're in on that too, for we pay one-fourth of th e rent. So expect something doing soon. Wo got a fine new member last week, George Moore, Hugo Ronemus brought him. Tenderpad work to-night so come early. So long. CUQ HUSTON, Scribe. THE WIGWAM Scouts, .

MANHOOD AND SCOUTING By Scout Fenstermacher Scouting stands for many things j in establishing ctean manhood. If. a boy loves the woods, the streams, j [ the trees, the mountains, the fields | and the birds and beasts, does he not j ! love nateure and God? Doubtless, j ; all these elements enter into the 1 [ present condition which make the I boy Join the great organization of i Scouting because of its spiritual end ' of it. The twelfth and Inst law of the Scouts is; A Scout is reverent and we must remember that this is not ! | the only ag e that has been "brought | i into a social and religious life and i to become a true Christian, one must 1 love nature, and this is what the j Scout organization is endeavoring to | teach every hoy to do. Why do we j i like to like and go camping? It is | the love of the outside in the open | | and surely every Scout must knew , that he must cilmb the ladder for j himself and it is hot only necessary | for him to be clean—physically and ; mentally but also spiritually and 1 mortally. TALKS ON TREKS By Scout Hagar, Troop 13 Hazlehurst Tree —This tree reaches to a height of eight feet, it occurs in clumps and often forms in thic kets.

Crabapple Tree—A tree of about i twenty-five feet in height and a di ameter of fourteen inches. The trunk is short nad rather slender. The bark is an half of an inch thick, and is reddish brown roughened by furrows. The leaves are three to four Inches long, and are round at base and sharp pointed at apex. The flowers appear in May or June, they are perfect, fragrant and rosy like. The flowers as a whole resemble the common apple. They are found in tjiickets and open woods where rich moist soil is present. SPORTS IN SCOUTING BY Scribe Fenstemacher, Troop 13 Some time ago, posters were put up telling the public that Liberty Bonds would provide the means for knocking the prop out of Propo ganda; so does the sports which now grip the <rr!>ps of the city provide the means for knocking Scout out of Scouting. For instance, a boy goes to troop meetings; he is not a reg istered Scout; he has not taken his tests and yet he expects to represent the troop in any athletic sports. In one troop of the city, there are many boys who have gone to Scout meet ings several months a year and they call themselves Scouts although they know that no tests have been passed, and that no registration has been paid and no interest in Scouting has SCOUTING NOTES "SCOUT DRIVE" ARRANGED At a meeting of the Scoutmasters Association held on Tuesday night it was decided to stage a big Scout drive for Scouts and Scout leaders in Harrisburg. The goal that this ac tive organization in connection with the Scout Executive has set is fifty troops and fifteen hundred Scouts by Christmas. But without Scout lead ers it will be impossible to build up such a body, and a feature of this campaign will be the building up of a reserve Scout Leaders' Corps. Sev enty-five men are needed who will be willing to take an Intensive court of training in Scoutcraft and organization under the direction of the Scout Executive, and who will then hold themselves in readiness to become Scoutmasters or to hold an office under the direction of the Court of Honor- All the preliminary arrangements have been made—a large supply of posters has been secured calling for volunteers for the work; slides for the moving picture houses have been made, and headquarters is accumu lating a large stock of Scout ex hibit material to be placed in one of the local store windows. But these are only the silent appeals. Every Scoutmaster present Tuesday night has volunteered to make a real ap peal in the way of an active troop demonstration. This will take form of a demonstration of Scouting In store windows and on the street corners. But let me sum up briefly j how the drive will be conducted. It will start Monday night, March 17, with a big Scout parade headed I by a Scout Drum Corps. All Scouts | who wish to be in this corps are asked to leave their names at head quarters at once. After the parade, which will cover the downtown sec tion and also the hill, the whole body of Scouts will go to some cen tral hall for a rally and good time. I am trying to secure a good Scout movie to show that night, and be sides fhat there will be singing and Scout demonstrations. The parents and general public are invited to at tend this rally, and we hope it will be the largest gathering of Scouts and their parents tlint Harrisburg has ever seen. There will be fur ther dotailß of this next week. Then on certain nights during the Week different troops will demon strate Scouting In store windows and on Saturday night there will be a general demonstration throughout the town. The Idea back of this Is to get the public educated as to what Scouts really do. They have often seen fls sell bonds or W. S. S., and distribute literature, etc., but the general public has no idea, as a rule, j Just what Scouting does beyond these things, and this is the time to show them. The following troops have already volunteered for various things: Troop 4. under Scoutmaster Halinran will furnish two signaling teams: Troop t under Scoutmaster Stamm 4 been shown except in the sports In which the troop might indulgs. I ask you as a true Scout and an up holder of the organization if it is that a crowd of fellows with that stripe should call themselves Scouts of our great organization and take part in any sports but when real Scouting comes up and faces the true Scout which he does cheerfully the athlete, the great sportsman, the great lover of games can not be found and he is put on the dead list as slacker. It does seem cheap for a fellow to pay twenty-five cents as a entrance fee to enjoy the friendly contests which the troops of ths city have learned so well to enjoy and yet It is that boy who plays the "Dirty stuff and who brings hate be tween the troops because of his underhand rough work which no true sportsman-like team will stand for." In several cases of the city, there have been many boys playing on Scout teams and who are not Scouts and I ask all true teams of sports to look out for those fellows and class them as slackers and keep them out of your list or schedule of games which you have or will play for they are not Scouts but are "would bes." ON THE I.ONG, I.ONG TRAII, Starting übout twelve o'clock, last Thursday, we left Harrisburg and out across fle'lds of mud till we came i to the other side of Riverside. After | passing Riverside we went to the i river road and kept up a steady walk I till we' reached Rockvllle, where we , had refreshments. Starting in again to walk, and were Just about getting warmed up when we reached the second mountain. We decided now to climb the mountain and go into Dauphin by the mountain road, (we thought it would be easier and shorter, but ). Crossing the railroad tracks, we : struck out for the mountain on the eastern side. Cutting through vine entanglements and dodging briars, we kept a steady pace for about five minutes, and then paused for a rest ! and to look at some peculiar trees, j We started to peg away again, but j were forced to sit down two or three | times before we reached the second 1 slope. After we did reach It we had \ a good pile of rocks to climb over so i with this and that we finally come ito the top. On the highest part of | this mountain there is a large flat ; rock, on which you can stand on and ; look up and down th£ rivet several j miles both ways. Looking up the I river you first see a small group of I seven or eight islands, and then farther up the mountain on the other side of the river towering over the I landscape. But upon looking down the river first you see old dilapidated piers and then the Rockvllle bridge. At last we started down the northern side, but were soon stopped by huge rocks which bade us in their language to take another path. Soon we were down the mountain and on the road tb Dauphin. Getting in Dauphin about three-thirty and finding that the next train would stop about four thirty-five, we decided to walk back and take chances on getting a 4 'hop." Now you know "13" is very lucky in that and as a wagon came along we Jumped in and rode till we came near Riverside, where he turned and left us to ourselves. We took a look around and then thought Harrisburg was more like home, and headed that "US TWO "13' a" SC'OI'T EXECUTIVE AWAT Scout Executive Virgin is attend ing the conference of Scout officials in the eastern part of district three. This conference is being held In Philadelphia and Mr. Virgin expects to bring home a number of innova tions in Scouting. This conference is being held under the direction and supervision of H. M. Butler National Field Scount Commissioner." will furnish two signalers and three first-aid men; Troop 7, under Scout master Miller will show various oth er Scout activities; Troop 8, under Scoutmaster Jenkins, Troop 15, un der Scoutmaster Mehaffle; Troop 20, under Scoutmaster McMorris, will PUt on a demonstration of a Scout hike in various sections of the city. The patrol detailed for this will march as on a hike to some assigned station in the city one on the square, on the hill, and uptown, and will then build a fire and cook sup per. besides demonstrating all the various activities Scouts go through while on a hike. This promises to be one of the most spectacular features of the entire demonstration. Troop 11 under Scoutmaster Manseg, and Troop 12 under Scoutmaster Orr have prom ised signalers • and first aid men Troop 13. under Scoutmaster German will conduct a full troop meeting with the tenderfoot investiture cere mony. This promises also to be of great educational value and will show the public that Scouts know how to con duct meetings. Troop 16, under Assistant Scout master George S. Spangler, will have a signaling and first aid team and other features. * Troop 18. under Scoutmaster Klaer will demonstrate Scoutscaft gen erally. Troop 26, under Scoutmaster L. E. Vanazian, will show fire building, first aid, map making and signal ing. • * The above troops have already vol unteered. but there is plenty of room for the remaining troops In the city to volunteer for some stunt that will make this drive a big success. Every Scout, during this dVtve, will be furnished with an enrollment blank thrdugh which he Is expected to enlist at least one other boy for membership in a troop, and every Scoutmaster promises to secure one man as a new official. Our recent activities, especially during the time of war, have done a great deal to develop in the general puhlic a realisation of th e value of Scouting to a community, and there j is no better time for us to develop than the present. To Keep Your Skin Free From Hairs (Beauty Topics) If you are willing to spend a few minutes time In your room using a delatone paste, you can easily banish any ugly, hairy growth without dis comfort or injury. The paste Is made by mixing some water with a little powdered delatone. This Is then spread over the hairy surface and after 2 minutes rubbed off and the skin washed. You will not be dis appointed with this treatment, pro- Ivlding you get real delatone. Cnlm*i trem Frhrmarj 27, 1111 But here is a concern % which has a chemist on the job every minute. When you stop a moment to consider that every quart of milk and cream that comes into the Hershey Creamery Company's plant is tested before it is used for making ice cream, you will surely realize what great pains this progressive establishment uses to give the public pure ice cream. And not only pure ice cream, but ice cream with the utmost food value in it. Just then a thought struck Mr. Hershey. He lead the Ad man to the men's room. When they arrived at that place, Mr. Her shey explained how particular he was that all the men who handled the milk and cream should be clean. He showed the Ad man all the conveniences for the men employes, pointing out especially the fact that the men have plenty of towels and soap so that there is never any excuse for not washing their hands often. This is a point that perhaps Mr. Hershey thought would not appear in these talks, but tlie Ad man is sure that the people of Har risburg want the men who handle their milk and cream and ice cream to have clean hands. After they had talked a while over the cleanliness of the plant and the sanitary con- I ditions under which everybody worked and everything was handled, the'Ad man asked Mr. Hershey to show him how HERSHEY'S SUPERIOR ICE CREAM was made from the very beginning to the end of the process. So they went back to the big main room of the plant and came to the first place where the making of the ice cream began. "Here," said Mr. Hershey, pointing to a huge vat, "is where the cream is put when we start to make ice cream. "We put the cream into this vat, with the sugar and all the other ingredients, except ing the flavor, and we let it stay there at a temperature of 150 degrees for half an hour." "Why do you put the temperature up # to 150 degrees," asked the Ad man. "At that temperature," replied Mr. He* shey, "all the germs will be killed." He said, "I want to call your attention now to these sanitary pipes and valves. We have put thousands of dollars into these sanitary pipes and valves so that the cream will be mechanically conducted from one vat to another to avoid coming into contact with human hands or with unclean vessels. This is a great saving of time, as well ? and does the work more efficiently." February 28, t!•?9. Look for to-morrow's Horrlsburfc, Pft. continuation of this— Signed The Ad-tnan.
