Boy Scouts of America was formed and
incorporated under the laws of the
United States. The movement caught
the popular fancy at once, because it
fulfilled a real need, until today we have
nearly a half-million Boy Scouts in our
country, with scoutmasters and assist
ants numbering into the thousands.
There are troops of Scouts in nearly all
the countries of the globe. When His
Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales,
Was touring the country recently, he
brought to the Scouts of America the
formal greetings of the Boy Scouts of
^•he British Empire. The Prince, who
is the Chief Scout of Wales, reviewed a
parade of Scouts in New York. The
movement is not confined to any one
Country, color, or denomination, but is
Worldwide in its scope.
The American Legion, in its first An-
iiual Convention, held at Minneapolis,
November 10 to 12, endorsed the Boy
Scouts of America in very strong terms,
and will urge local Posts to assist in
supplying scoutmasters and recruiting
Scouts. No more patriotic and red-
blooded service could be rendered the
country by these returned soldiers and
•Officers.
It is a happy thought which turns the
American people to the spirit of brother-
^iness and the good turn. In every com-
*^unity where there are Scouts, some
**ort of exercises will be held celebrating
^he tenth anniversary of the movement.
Good-Turn sermons will be preached in
the churches; rallies, mass meetings, and
parades will be held.
In our town of Badin, Troop No. 2,
B. S. A., proposes to celebrate by asking
the ministers of the various churches to
preach on the Good Turn; to have a
public rally at the Theater, February 8,
at 3.00 p. m., at which several interest
ing talks will be made along the line of
scouting; and an effort will be made to
form another Troop. Later in the week,
parades will be held and other celebra-
f.ons.
The motto of the Scout is “Be Pre
pared," and he is reminded to be ready
to do a Good Turn daily. The oath
which all Scouts must take is—On my
honor I will do my best:
1. To do my duty to God and my
country, and to obey the Scout law;
2. To help other people at all times;
3. To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

Dr. Rainey Goes to Fayetteville
“A part of old Badin that we are
sorry to see go." These words, printed
on page fifteen of the January Bulle
tin, in connection with a kodak view
taken in 1916, gave all who read them
a sense of regret and a feeling of per
sonal loss. Everyone who saw this old
picture and read these words instantly
recognized the man, and the fact that
he is very soon to make his home else
where. At the time this picture was
snapped, he was caught apparently in
the act of reading a “general order”
from one who now gives her orders
orally, the charming little lady who is
now his wife. If it is possible to
measure their happiness by the happi
ness which they have since given to
others associated with them, it truly
seems his “general orders” were exactly
what they should have been, and that
he obeyed them to the letter.
Dr. Rainey will not only be missed'
in his professional capacity, but in many
other ways. He has been actively con
nected with both the business and social
life of the community for more than
four years. Besides attending to a large
private practice, he has served faithfully
and well as superintendent of the hos
pital operated by the Tallassee Power
Company. Likewise he was interested
in the Main Drug Store. He has filled
the chair of Chancellor Commander, in
Tallassee Lodge, No. 333, Knights of
Pythias.
The oft-repeated saying, “What is
loss to some is gain to others,” makes
its truth here felt.
Dr. Rainey will leave Badin about
March 1, and will make his future home
in Fayetteville, N. C., where he will be
connected with the Highsmith Hospital.
The people of Fayetteville should, and
no doubt will, be very glad to welcome
Dr. and Mrs. Rainey into their midst.
The people of Badin extend to them their
heartfelt good wishes.
