4 Scouts Hike to New Hut; Meet Tonight On Saturday last the Scouts and Cubs of Bethlehem Lutheran Church with Mr. Spangler, met at the square and took the car for New Cumber land. After riding to the end of the line, we hiked to the Hut On the way we met Mr. Mitchell, Scout master of Troop 19, and Mr., Swope former Scoutmaster of Troop 20 and three Scouts. Mr. Spangler invited the mto join us which they gladly did. Upon arriving at the Hut we wei e joined by some more of our hoys who had come early to take tests and practice signaling. Mr. Swope immediately pot to work fix ing up the back cellar steps and Mr. Mitchell directed the rubbish tires in the back yard, while Mr. Spangler helped fix up the fence. At 4 o'clock Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Swope started for home taking the cubs along with them. Those of us who remained were taking some tests, some in tracking, and it was thought the Cubs might play out. "Wo got into some very muddy roads on the way home, but found a place where willow trees are cut for baskets. Be sure and get around to the meeting tonight and hear about the hike on Saturday. Come prepared to pars some of your examinations. Those who were tenderfoots on the night that the new rule was made have only one month and a half yet tc pass their tests. CLEOX CRISWELL. Scribe.

German Tells About Trip to the Canadian Woods Friday night—March 7th. My but we were lucky. First—Scout Bill German's father who took several trips into th e woods of Canada was there to tell a Troop, who can hardly wait for a trip to Camp Boyd, about his fine time in the woods and what he saw from a train, but the things that happened when he was camping like a real Scout. His slides that he used to illustrate his talk were great and when he showed a picture of the large fish they caught and the fine lakes they paddled over and the great places they camped. Well very Scout said "Mr. Scout Master, please lets take a hike." Well good things often come together and about eight P. M., Mr. ' William Jacobs showed up with a large telescope which he placed on the roof garden and believe me, the scouts of Thir teen took a look at every star in the sky and if Mr. Jacobs had not called quits at last, I guess the Scouts would still be on the roof. Well, here is some more luck. Scout Executive Virgin was with us and brought along some news that makes Thirteen the proudest Troop in Har- Remember, there is nothing so good for bronchitis, sore throat, stiff neck, lameness or sore muscles, and that results are guaranteed.

This evening the Troop had the Clo ver Class of the Pine Street Church as their guests and after a splendid meeting, the Troop and the Clover Class marched down to the Scout Koom. The Troop wishes to express its thanks to Mrs. Wm. German, Miss Sahrawood, Mrs. J. W. German and Mr. J. F. Consylman for their share in the success of the evening. Well Scouts watch out. Thirteen is going some in Scouting and we will tell you .about it next week. Another great addition to Thirteens group is the great news that Bradberry Foss, who is not quite old enough to hold the office of Assistant Scout Master, will act a Assistant Scout Master and say fellows, he has nine merits badges to his credit. Pack Two Still on the Map, Says Scribe Some meeting last week, wasn't itT Every fellow on the roll was present, and a new member too. Bred Wagner introduced b>* David Eveler, and elected right off. How did you like Mr. Wieland? I'm glad he's going to give us a lift, he took hold of the work like an old hand at the business. fellows passed the tenderfad test. Tonight we are going to start one star work, and that is not as easy as the tenderfad. We had a good bunch out on the hike last Saturday, twelve cubs, some guys had too many clothes on, as they found out when they hit the big hill. Wasn't there a gang at the "hut" though. Thirty altogether. We were glad we met Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Swope and the three scouts from "nine." Did you see every one bring in his share of the firewood? Even the guests, pretty line piece of co-operation, wasn't it? We played in the stable, after eating lunch, while the fellows from "sixteen" fixed the fences, and Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Swope acted as stone masons. At four thirty we started home with Mr. Swope and Mitchell, and had a great time tracking. We reached the square at 6 o'clock. I think we'll have another new member tonight. There were three uniforms last week. Get them ready soon for the parade is on Tuesday March 18. CUB HUSTON, Scribe. Use McNeil's Cold Tablets, Adv. fiXStSUSBUKG IMMI <nXEOKXFH TROOP 8$ 2ND BIRTHDAY Have Royal Time in Celebra tion of the Beginning of Third Year Last Sunday and Monday eve nings Troop 8 celebrated the begin ning of its third year of active Scout ing in Harrlsburg. Sunday evening all of the Scouts were present at a special church service. We marched into the church while the organist played "Onward Christian Soldiers." The regular service followed, and the Rev. Relsch rendered a special sermon on "Scouts of Long Ago." A feature of the service was a prayer by our Scout chaplain, John Duncan. Monday evening there was a musi cal entertainment and also a dem onstration of Scouting. The musical features were: A saxaphone solo by Scout Slothour, a tenor solo by R. F. Shader, vocal solo by Miss Miriam Himes, a trio composed of Misses Wallace and Noll, a piano solo by Miss Emerick, a reading by Mr. Kirk, and a vocal solo by Mrs. Frank Wright. The Scouts demonstrated signal ing, first aid, knot-tieing, and var ious other things "whicTi show the outside of Scouting" as Mr. Virgin said in his address which followed. Mr. Virgin then proceeded to tell us and our parents "the inside of Scouting." He tcld about the good turn every day part of it. and the trustworthy, kind, obedient, reverent part of it. He congratulated us on having such a fine bunch of leaders and also told us that Troop 8 has more second-class Scouts who have become such in the last six months, than any other troop in the city. The gathering was well attended by both Scouts and their parents and friends. The Rev. Relsch and some members of the Troop Committee were guests. Troop 18's basket-ball team was scheduled to come out to the Shlm mel floor and play Troop 8 on Wed nesday evening but for some reason they failed to put in an appearance. Troop B's second team won from the Shimmcl seventh grade team on that evening. It was a close game. The score was 12 to 12 with only three minutes of the last half to play when the Shimmel team fouled. Russell Walters of S shot the foul goal and made the score 13 to 12. EDGAR A. SFOTZ, Scribe. ! THE WIGWAM It is with great pleasure that we welcome Scoutwaster John German of Troop 13 to the Wigwam circle. His plea for leaders is a timely article, for next week our drive begins. Wel come, thrice welcome, to our circle. Scoutmaster of 'Thirteen, and may you be an inspiration to others of your fellow workers. Our council circle is growing. Last week Scout Miller of Troop 7 made his first appearance in the Wigwam, and this week our big story comes all the way from Philadelphia from Lone Feather. Lone Feather, now an Assistant Scoutmaster, is a good one, but I remember- the night he took the oath and wore his first Scout badge. I have been with him on the foot-ball gridiron; on the hot, dusty road; and around the camp fire on cold, damp nights. He is a good Scout in every sense of the word, and despite the fact that he lives lij another city, he is a con stant reader of the Wigwam. RED CLOUD. A PLEA FOR LEADERS By Scout Master German Do you like boys? Do you love fair play? Do you hate roudyism? Well, if you are a man —sign yes as a Scoutmaster., for this type is the kind that Scouting needs. Will you have to work? Yes, anything that is worth while needs work. Will I get long with the boys? Now just stop and think, I was once a boy and I use to think some boys had fathers who were just great and som e had.fathers I would take a crack at any' old time. Boys are just the same. They know at once if you are going to like them and if you do well you are going to make good. Is the effort worth while? Just think the average boy goes to Sunday school on Sunday and forgets about it the rest of the week but his Socut ing he will think of at all times. Ther e is his Good Turn at home and to his city; there is his twelve scout laws which help to make him a good American citizen. You will never see a real Boy Scout show disrespect to th e flag because he is taught to respect it; he will always be courteous to ladies because he is a gentleman; he will always be kind to animals and will also help anyone In trouble; he will know how to get the nearest fire company; how to get the police officer the quickest and when an accident happens he is right there with his first aid work. He knows the dangera of traveling with a bad crowd and avoids them; he knows the things which harms his body and leaves them alone. In other words Scouting touchs the boy on all sides. Is It worth while man? Well, if you will become a leader instead of a looker, you will make it possibe for thirty-two more boys to lead a real Clean moral life. WHAT IT IS TO BE A SCOUT A Scout is at home wherever he may be; In the home; his town: on the road hiking; in th e woods;; or in the mountains. He never feels lost as he is acquainted with the compass and knows the laws of na ture, but even without a compass he can tell ndrth If he is in the woods by the moss growing on the north or damp side of the tree, and east by th e rising of the sun. Should the sun not be shining he can find oast or west by a knife blade shadow across his finger nail to find the loca tion of the sun and by reckoning the position of the sun and the time of day. He can also find th e four points of direction with his watch on a cloudy or a clear day. He has brothers wherever he may roam, be it in the city, country, or foreign lands, and he is welcome to 1 attend th e meetings of another troop wherever he may happen to be. In going into a strange city, lie needs but to rely on a brother Scout and he will not be lost, as "he Is a friend to all and a brother to every other Scout." The Scout knows his city or town and will direct the shortest and easiest way. He keeps himself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. He knows the elementary methods of first aid, and in case of accidents, which he is taught to avoid, by WM.

The merit winners for the month lof February are James Hay and [ Blaine Gingrich. The highest Hum- I ber of points made was fifty. ! Now fellows. I want to see every fellow there tonight. I expect to see every Scout in the troop In the knot-tieing contest. Every fellow will want to know how many merits | and demerits he received this last I month. | Troop 7 for the first time in its ; history will begin paying dues. All j the fellows voted that this be put ! into effect. It will greatly reduce camping expenses.

"safety first" measures, he will care for a wound and attend to a patient more tenderly than the ordinary boy. In keeping morally straight, he tra vels with a clean crowd, stands for clean speech, clean sports, and clean habits. He is brave; he will stand up for the right against the coax ings of friends or jeers of enemies, and defeat does not down him. He is a friend to all. He does not needlessly harm any living creature. He will take care of a wounded cat or dog before the ordinary fellow. He will put a blanket over a standing horse in cold weather when some careless driver has left him without one. 'He -is relied 'upon by other people and trusted to do Important errands. His honor Is to be trusted and should he be guilty of disloyalty or untrustworthiness his insignia and membership card would be lifted and he would be dismissed from Scouting. These are the stakes at which a Scout's honor is held. The Second Class Scout, knows how and can accurately signal at a dis tance and In this great world war he has proved that he possesses courage and grit. This is true not only of the American Scout, but also of the French Scout who has undoubt edly proved his loyalty and obedience to the tri-color. The American Scout will not for one minute see the folds of "Old Glory" touch the ground, and he respects the Stars and Stripes in every way, as he holds them in highest esteem and veneration. LONE FEATHER. "THE ART OF "HOPE" We desire something and we hope. Such is the by-word of most every person. Hope is the desire with ex pectations of obtaining but is there any reason why we should hope? Do w e not have a home; can we not go to school and do we not have our pleasures when others are in worse conditions then those of our own? Those who read these few words must know that no matter how circumstances appear against them, some one, some person may be in a worse condition.
