4 &NEWS ftNP NOTES OFTHEiBOY SCOUTS& "SOME FLOOD" AT BOY SCOUT CAMP Save Most of Property; Tents Are Covered With Mud As the boys put it "It was some flood." It all began when the flood gates at Laurel, seven miles above the Scout camp at Mount Holly Springs, gave way. This in turn sent such' a flood of water down against the upper Mount Holly dam that about forty feet of the em bankment near the railroad gave way and proceeded to flood the lower valley. This is substantially Camp Direc tor Rees' story of what happened. They were all around the camp fire early in the evening on Tuesday when they noticed the water in Mountain Run was rising rapidly. "Prof." hurridly got the Scouts to pact their belongings in suit cases and put them on top of their cots to prepare for emergency. Ten min utes later the telephone rang, and the Carlisle operator said that the dam had burst at Laurel and that it was wise to get to high ground. Fifteen minutes later when every thing had been removed to points up on the hillside, the flood began to arrive. Slowly but steadily it increased in depth and velocity un til about eloven o'clock there was three feet of water rushing over the camp site. Of course it didn't take long to pull out tent stakes and for tents to be torn from their moor ings. By this time the Scouts were comfortably settled in the mess hafl and the cooks' tents for the night Prof. Rees, Sparrow, and a neigh bor who came to help spend the night patrolling the flood area try ing to save anything that might be carried down stream. 22 STOIIRS IX I'A..

Not a tent was standing, except the cooks' tent which is on the hillside. Every thing was covered with mud and slime, and in a grand pile twisted around trees. Only one tent was found to be damaged, and that is beyond repair. A number of cots were torn but none were lost. So, everything considered, we came out of the flood very luckily. Camp is all re-erected by this time. The big dance-hall pavilion has been restored to, and six tents are erected on the north end of the floor. The Headquarters tent has been located between the mess hall and the recreation hall. Ass't. Camp Director Sparrow has established his headquarters in the vicinity. The Scouts who were there are all pleased with the change for it it not so far to the water supply nor to the mess hall, and in case of bgd weather they can get from their tents to the big building in a few seconds. Everything is now in good shape, and preparations are being made to accommodate a large crowd of boys due at camp in August. All Scouts who wish to go during that month are asked to notify headquarters promptly, and ahead of time, in order that arrangements may be made for them. TROOP 9 BUSY The Scouts of Troop 9 are very busy each week planning for dem onstrations. We now hold a demon stration meeting and a business meeting each month. The program for last week was an explanation of the Scout oath by Charles 3iiggs; constellations by Ross Cooper: rules for first aid and bandaging, Harry Cooper: the use of the knife and hatchet, James Armstrong. We were all glad to welcome back to our Troop Scout Kenneth Duf fan. All the Scouts that expect to go to camp please be at the meeting Friday. HARRT COOPER, Scribe. THE WIGWAM It was a hot afternoon in mid summer. Four scouts, burdened with camp duffle hiked slowly along the long white road which reflecting the glare of the sun, stretched away un invitingly into the distance. Two of the scouts, tired and perspiring, de termined to sit down beside the road and wait until a passing wagon or automobile should pick them up. One of the Scouts, Carvel Sparrow, now an Assistant Scout Master in Troop 26, sad the was willing to ac cept a lift but would keep on walk ing until the pick up or lift came along. "And if no lift comes," he said. "I'll be Just so much farther on the way." As an afterthought ho added, "Every time you hike it with out a lift, you are in so much better condition to meet the day when a lift is impossible and you must go it alone." Do you know Scouts, I think Spar row in those words stated one of the biggest things in the Scout Move ment? Be prepared. A scout's motto is: Be prepared. Prepared for what? • Prepared for Life—physically, mentally and mor ally. And being prepared for life means work. It means study, sacri fice and work. It means that our hopes, ambitions, thoughts and even our hours of recreation must be di rected to that end. The lives of the greatest men of history are records of work, reverses and disappointment. Abe Lincoln, after his day's work was done, lay before the fireplace while' in the flickering light he pored over his books saying to himself, "I will study and perhaps my chance will come." The chance came and he Was pre pared. As a boy, Daniel Webster went into the barn and made speeches to the cattle but the day came when his voice was to sway the Senate of the United States and to touch the hearts of his countrymen until they HARRSSBURG TE3RGRXPS —————— i. _ were ready to shed their blood that the Union should endure forever. Some of our presidents, our great est Inventors and our greatest artists gained success by bending studiously over their books hour after hour and by persisting under conditions that would have proved too severe for those who were not determined to be prepared. Jenny Lind was one of the sweetest singers the world has ever known. Her life was full of sorrow and hard ships. Early in life shortly after she began to appear In public, her voice failed her and for Ave years she was unable to sing. In those five years she continued to work and study for she believed that some day her voice would come back. Her hopes were justified and the name of Jenny Bind will be remembered- long after the names of more perfect and higher paid singers have been forgottep. So it has been with all of those who have made their lives worth liv ing and who have made their career on earth a benefit to their fellow men. It is all very well to accept the pick ups and the lifts in life. It is nice to have some one carry us over the rough spots but it is the hard plugging on the long road that puts us In condition to meet the time when there is no lift . Traveling on Easy Street never helps us to Be Prepared. RED CLOUD. Troop 16 Is Told Cuban Boys Want to Be Scouts Old Jupiter Pluvius made It Im possible for us to go to the Hut last Saturday as we had planned, so we took our lunehes home and did some indoor scouting. On Sunday a request came to us tor Scout literature in Spanish. A lady instructor in a Cuban school near Havana said that the boys are so anxious to start a troop, that in spite of the fact that they had no idea of the manner of organizing, they have already fixed up a room for a meeting place. The request was referred to the Supply Depart ment. We hope the Scout Executive will advise us as to what is neces sary in the way of pamphlets for this particular need. Joseph Grove, who asked to be transferred from another troop, was unanimously elected a member. William Snyder and Harry Winger passed the tenderfoot tests and were sworn in as Scouts. Several games were enjoyed before we turned the lights out. We are getting up another group of fellows to go to the Scout camp the second week in August. We have four names already, and if you haven't been there and want to go, get in on this. I hear the camp is full for the last two weeks. Mr. Mehring nas planned a week end hike to the Hut, specializing on signaling. If you are weak on this, better take it In. The time is July 27th and 28th, five meals and car fare are needed. Last Friday we had one officer, 16 Scouts and one visitor —a good crowd for a midsummer meeting, but we can do better, let's beat it to night. Crank up your wheel and run in. We'll stand for the gas. Better bring your poncho or in umbrella. HOUSTON, Scribe. Troop 7 Will Go to Roosevelt Camp July 29 Now that the weather has changed for the better, the Scouts of Troop 7 are jubilant and with old Sol shining so brightly,.t|ie Oast few days it has put hew hope and pep into the camp spirit. Certainly Troop 7 is going on its third an nual camping trip on Tuesday, July 29, and the cfmp has a big name also, named after an honorary vice president of the Boy Scouts of Amer ica—Theodore Roosevelt, a man highly honored by all Scouts. The camp is beautifully located along the creek about 8 miles above Carlisle in the vicinity of Graham's Hoods, with a good elevation above high water mark. The physical training will be in ' TT^ rSe i? Wr " Baile y. Michigan University, now located at York Mr. O'Donnell. of Carlisle, will try i to see that the Scouts are wel fed ■ The general supervision of the camp will be under the Scoutmaster and ; his assistant, Mr. Will Bailey Distance never enters the mind of Tom Bogar, who has a big heart for , he boys 0 , Xroop 7 and always sees , hat the Scouts get to camp on his big lumber trucks. Th ? camp committee consists of i the following Scouts: Llovd Got i wait, John Bogar, James Hay Wil ! won and R "dolph Miller William Quaid received an achiev i ment button and James Ray seven palms for selling W. S S Roth mSi/sr medals also, so we congratulate them on their great interest in Uncle RUDOLPH MILLER, Bcribe. Pack Two Busy; Will Go on Hike Saturday Last Friday we made a purchase and paid an honest debt. After de ciding that we ought to ha" an American flag of our own we bought a little dandy. Then we have owed Troop Sixteen the cost of our Pack Flag and pennants for nearly five months. Now our bill is paid and w have a nice little sum left, and Crego doesn t have to lie awake thinking about our debts . There was some noise during the game of Flying Cloud, but maybe it was a good thing for every fellow was quiet when Mr. Mehrlng talked on Signalling. Adrian Baker pre sented the name of George Hain for membership. George Grey passed the Tenderpad test. More caps have been ordered and we hope to have them by next Friday. Twenty-two were pres ent on Friday and the receipts were SI.OO. "Very good Eddie." This week we'll have some more games and a new stunt, something that we haven't done before and I believe it will go pretty good. Then we want to talk proficiency badges (the cub's merit badges), that's the step after passing the two star test. Yes, a hike on Saturday if it doesn't rain—bring fourteen cents and a lunch, meet at the church at 1:46 sharp: To-night is the night for the regu lar meeting of Pack Two, Wolf Cubs of Amlerlca, Harrisburg. The hour ia 6:30. 1 thank you. CUB KUNKLE. Scribe, TROOP 13 BUSY IN HARRISBURG Members Called Upon to Help at Meetings and Picnics Although one would think Scout ing wollld fall during summer months, Troop 13 is running full blast. The Troop has many of its members out of town or somewhere on camping trips, but those remain ing at home are putting it across while others perhaps are watting: for the autumn months to roll around. Now that the opportunity pre sented by the Government to help during the war in various cam paigns, has passed, we must look elsewhere to render our services In keeping the Scout Oath by doing a good turn euch day. The first place to which we turn is our city, and recently we have assisted in a great many ways. The Chamber of Commerce re quired the services of Keller, Ken nedy, German, and Alexander, on July 3, while at Bowman's picnic on July 10. Keller, German, Webster, Alexander, Krause, and Maglauch lin rendered their services, and had a splendid time in return. On Monday July 14, Kennedy, Keller, Krause, Byrem, Zimmerman, Moesleln, Wayne Grunden, Bruce Grunden, and Alexander helped make fly traps, while on July 17, at the Y. M. C. A. picnic, Karl Moesleln and Wayne Grunden were station ed there for service. Last month on July 20, the Cham ber of Commerce held an outing at which Kenton, Foss, Hunter, and Thompson of our Troop wore de tailed for service. Therefore our Troop is still hold ing her records in the public, good turns done. Even last Saturday evening a group of fellows from Troop 13 were busy at Chestnut Street Hall. Troop 13 has the Social Com mittee working hard, and that group plans to have some activity of that sort happening every meeting. Last Friday evening it was planned to have a Troop outing on the Island, but rain prevented this, so the | Scouts adjourned to the gym floor where a series of Scout games were pulled off. This Friday evening the Troop plans to go to Wildwood to hold i their weekly meeting, and after ward to enjoy a camp fire with the additional feature of toasted marsh mallows. With these activities and other notes of Scouting drawing the in terest of Troop 13 that Troop is extending the challenge to others — Keep going. FENSTEMACHEK. Scouts Wanted to Make Fly Traps on Saturday Now that the rain has ceased, the work on making fly traps will be gin again. Scout Executive Virgin asks for thirty Scouts to report for this work on Saturday afternoon at -2 o'clock. Please bring a hammer or saw if you have one. Qn Saturday morning the State Health Department wants six boys to report at room 634, fifth floor of the north wing of the Capitol. Work on fly traps will be done there also. This is work of importance, and every Scout who can should con sider it his duty to report on this detail. Lift off Corns! Doesn't hurt a bit and Freezone costs only a few cents. With your Angers! You can lift off any hard corn, soft eoan, or corn between the toes, and the hard skin callouses from bottom of feet. A tiny bottle of "Freezone" costs little at any drug store; apply a few drops upon the corn or callous. In stantly it stops hurting, then short ly you lift that bothersome corn or callous right off, root and all, with out one bit of pain or soreness. Truly! No humbug!
