SNEWS RNPNOTES OF THE BOY SCOUTS $ |j SCRIBE WIELAND I LIKED THE RALLY, Pack Two Had Great Time;' Hiked Through Cameron intension Saturday Well, we hit the trail to the rally i last Friday and it was quite worth while. We enjoyed every minute of the time from when we left Beth- j lehent Church until we returned . about three hours later. The turn- I out was line and I'm sure that the , people along the line of march were 1 surprised at the number of Scouts I and Cuba in line. Of the rally it- I self too much cannot be said. Cap- . tain I,umb's talk on "Be Prepared" j was the very best thing along that line that we have ever heard. I hope that every boy there has asked himself this question—lf a man of such position and standing in the commonwealth as Captain Lumb can stand up before an audience of at least 500 hoys and confess his faith in Hod as set forth in the : twenty-third psalm, is there any reason why any mere boy should hesitate about taking such a step? Every Scout and Cub ought to think seriously about becoming a member of the church of liis preference, whether it be Catholic or Protes tant, Jewish or Gentile. The Cap tain's thought of planning our line ( of defense before the temptation ; conies was right straight to the : point. We hope to hear him soon again. Scout Commissioner German ; had a busy fifteen minutes present ing bars and medals to the seventy one winners in the Fourth Loan campaign. Of course we were proud of our own Cub Huston, and say. he's right on the job this time. too. he's sold enough for several medals already. Nine cuts enjoyed the hit through Cameron Extension on Sat- 1 urday. The weather was just right. ! We hope that every cub and- his father will be on hand tonight at T.oO when we sit down to our lunch eon. We expect some prominent : men as our guests and hope to have j at least seventy fathers and sons. , The eats will be first-class. and , everything else will be on that same high plane. Tonight we lost George Boak, who i has reached the high and mighty age of 12 and will lie transferred with appropriate ceremony to Troop I 16 by the Scout executive. George << has been one of our most loyal and : enthusiastic cubs and naturally wo are sorry to see him go. We will have the privilege of wel coming John Haldeman. our newest cub. tonight. Be on hand not earlier than 7.15 and not later than 7.25 in your cuh uniform or your host clothes. Please do not forget to in troduce your father to the officers. DON M. WIELAND, Acting Scribe.

MAY 9, 1919. 1 THE WIGWAM Fellows. this little article by the | Ohscner is a (rood one. It shows i that someone was watching us at \ work on Wednesday and isn't afraid to tell what he thinks of us. There were a good many false alarms Wednesday, were there not. Scouts? Well, it didn't seem to dis appoint any Scout even if more could have been used. Those who respond ed—and there were hundreds of them—did the job well. It took some pep and grit, fellows, to hold that surging crowd back and some of you were never in such a jam in your young lives. Itut tell me. Scouts, who else could have done it? There* were not enough ofllcers to do it; ropes could have been cut or broken. Hut a Scout could and did do it. How? Why? Because they ; were working together as all good I Scouts do. Hid a few fall down on : the job? Suppose they did. It was . only because they had not been in j the organization long enough to ■ know how to pull together. In i three or six months these tenderfoot Scouts will be up to the standard, j Why ? Because they are associating ! with the older Scouts and are learn- j ing to do things systematically. Bet me say again, fellows, you j did the best that could be done. ■ When a crowd like that gets the idea : that they mustn't miss a bit and all ' want to be tip front, it's a big prop- 1 osition to stop them. But I'm tell ing you that when they hit that j khaki line on Wednesday they stop- I ped—started—and stopped again. It . was a good day's work. THE PEHPOSE OF SCOI'TING By Scribe Kenstemacher. What is our purpose in scouting?"; What do we think the Scout move- i SCOUTING NOTES BY J. FREDRII* VIRGIN, SCOTT EXECUTIVE ! Liberty Fire Through the courtesy of Mr. B. Goldberg, of the American Rag. Metal and Junk Company. Briggs street, between C'owden and Sev enth. we have been able to secure a collecting place for all combustible material for the Liberty Fire. All troops arc requested to transport whatever material they have col lected to this central point at as early a date as possible. We must secure at least five truck loads of boxes and barrels in order to make a fire of good size. This is import ant and should he done immediately. Parade Wednesday was a day to be re membered by the Scouts of Harris burg. It was as much their day as it was a big day for the "boys" in whose honor it nil was. They began reporting at Scout Headquarters early in the morning and they hadn't stopped at eight o'clock last Frenchmen, Accused Of Dealing With the Enemy, Acquitted Paris, May 9.—Senator Humbert. 1 who has been on trial by court-mar- I tial on a charge of having had deal- i ings with the enemy, was acquitted yesterday. Captain George Jile I.adoux, for- ■ mcr chief of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of War, a co-defend ant with Humbert, was acquitted.

Those axe the ; questions a candidate is asked as he takes ofT his tenderfoot testa. Sure ! ly as we sign an application to be come a Scout, we have some pur pose for joining such a grand organ ization. There are not very many ; sports to he gained by claiming the . Scouts as a model place for such a i scries of games as a would-be ath lete would desire. Then some fel lows like to join for the privilege of wearing the uniform and those snubs 1 sometimes remain tenderfoots for two years and then drop oat. Of i course we don't care for such stripe of imitation Scouts But then we have real leaders in scouting, big men to take care of the coming gen : oration, and altogether, the Scout i movement is favored everywhere al ! though great numbers are against it, . but then our helpers and the other ! odd number are with us in our pur • pose. The largest organized eiuh or body of fellows arc those that belong to scouting. No other inter , est will hold a boy as long as scout- I ing will for vears and years to come, .-.11 l of ilnnr. tn.l when indoor or out of doors. And when I ' we join at twelve years of age, we j climb steadily up till we become al- i ready worthy citizens of the coming . : generation. Then there is the boob who writes B. S. A. over buildings. ' but he is not a Scout. for who | would deface a building if a Scout j has honor for the Scout movement? 1 j And then if a boy once joins a good | | up-to-date troop, he will honor the j troop because be values the help tt gives not only to himself but to others. Let our purpose be of the highest degree and may we make I i the city in which we live better for j I having such a movement existing. evening. Six were on duty at the ' Armory in the afternoon, and as one Scout afterwards reported, ; "That was some job." At Third and ■ State streets ten others assisted in handling the mobilization of the pa rade and several were llag bearers, in tho parade. Over six hundred assisted in handlling traffic and dl- : rocting tho crowds. They did their i work well and deserve all the praise one heard of them to-day. They I must have been tired. But every; boy of them would agree with one j of the Cub Scouts who said: "It ! was great. When will there be an- j other?" Scoutmasters' Supper A Scoutmasters' supper will be he'd on Tuesday night at 6:"0 in tho Y. M. C. A. A short business session will be held following the ! supper, and the rest of the evening will be given over to instruction in Scoutcra ft. ; Scouts to Be Honor Guests at Celebration Scouts Bowman, Wallis and Kline have been faithful and trustworthy boys and have the interest of scout ins at heart, so on Monday evening j they will be the honor guests at a celebration given by the troop. Scout Commissioner Garman will be with us and will present them with First Class pins. In all probability j C. \Y. Clark, the local Y. M. C. A. j worker, will be with us and will re- j late his over-seas experiences. Mr. J Clark is a splendid speaker and it will be a treat to hear him. The j parents of our honor Scouts will also | be present as well as numerous oth- j c-rs. including the troop committee. j Ham sandwiches, coffee, ice cream j and cake will be served. Scout Slothower will have charge j of our Scout orchestra, which will I play several selections. Assistant ! Scoutmaster Koehler will have ' charge of the singing. Last Friday evening at the rally | the following Scouts of our troop j received medals for selling bonds \ during the Fourth Liberty loan. They j were: Assistant Scoutmaster Koeh ler. Scouts Spotts, Walters, Brooke, j Ed. Wallis, Emmet Wallis, Brandt, j Fry. Zarker. Our cubs are still on the job un- ' dcr the leadership of Scout Ed. Wil lis. Cub Brindle is a new addition ' to the pack and they certainly are I a likely looking bunch. EDGAR SPOTTS. Scribe. Troop 1, Camp Hill, Represented at Rally Twelve Scouts of Troop 1 were present at the rally last Friday night. All thoroughly enjoyed the' entire program, and Scout Stearns was presented with his war service emblem After the rally we marched to the Square. Some of the Scouts were good boys and went right home, but some remained in town and went to a nearby drug store, where Scout Ed. Hamrae consumed two sundaes and some coco cola. Scouts Hainme and Stearns decided to walk home and on the way Scout Hanime became quite dizzy. Scouts Freeze, Nell. Patterson and Kilborn then went through the subway and saw the big guns with the trophy train. Saturday the Victory Loan j began and as we could not sell bonds i in Camp Hill some of our boys went I into Harrishurg to sell bonds, and ! were successful In selling about six 1 hundred dollars worth. About three- j fourths of the members of our i troop assisted In handling tho crowds ; on Wednesday. We never were in ' such a jam before In our sweet j young lives. It was hard work but j we enjoyed it. SCOUT KILBORN, Scribe. Troop Seven Plans Big Meeting Tonight A big business meeting is on for j tonight at Troop 7. You know it Is j getting near to camping time and j a big over-night hike. Every Scout ' should get that spring fever out of j bis system, puff up with real Scout | dignity and be a worker, Thero are three general classes of Scouts, shirkers, jerkers and workers. Let's have only one class. Frank Schwartz got the merit award for the month of April, Clyde Kosenberger comes In second. That was some rally last Friday night. Every second of the time was full of pep, and several Scouts are known to have cheered in their sleep that night. How is that for spirit? Scouts of Troop 7 who re ceived medals for the Fourth Lib- i erty Loan campaign are William Quaid, William Bodmer. Robert j Marcus. Clyde Rosenbcrger and j John Reinoehl. John, who i 3 dubbed "Chiefy," sold 37. RUDOLPH MILLER.
