BOY SCOUT NEWS phases of the Boy Scout move ment —o—~ Scouting's part in our national defense program has carried ’way along into “astronomical figures”, according to Times Magazine, re ceiving its data from National Boy Scout Headquarters1 in New York. Here are just a few of these figures quoted by TIME, and all Scouts and parents of Scouts should feel mighty proud, because) Roanoke Rapids boys have fully done their share: 300,000,000 lbs. of scrap paper, 10,500,000 lbs. of aluminum (the nation as a whole collected only 12,000,000 lbs.); 400, 000 homes surveyed for defense housing in defense areas; 1,607,500 defense bond and stamp posters tacked, gummed and pasted up throughout the country . . Again quoting TIME magazine: "The hard-working Scouts are wooed by every Government agency. Rea son: everything the 1,500,000 Boy Scouts and Cubs undertake reaches astronomical statistics of success”. I TOWN ' TALK Miss Dorothy Rice has returned from a visit to Sexton, Mo.

Troop 142 investi gated the joys of camp life at Balanced Rock, while 144, 145 and 146 all joined in together and headed for White Lake. Both groups have declared enthusiastic ally that they had the best time ever, and from all reports we’re inclined to agree with them. 142 really got the breaks in the weather, while the White Lake aggregation reported rain for six out of eight days. However, no amount of rain can put the damp er on a bunch of boys like these, and they got eight full days of real outdoor fun, plus some real advancement activity that should show up well at the next Board of Review. Old Scouts never forget. Ralph Webb, now of the United States Navy, obtained leave of absence so that he might come back and camp once again with his old troop. Thanks a lot, Ralph; and good sailing and good luck. Who says Scout discipline isn’t effective? Scoutmaster Will Mincher caught som8 fifteen as sorted young rapscallions in swim ming after hours down at White Lake. The result, all of ’em had to trek afoot the whole way a round the lake next morning—and that’s no small hike. We’ll bet they hit that water only at sched uled hours after that. And what’s this we hear about ye Scouts ganging up to “duck” SM’s Mincher, Jenkins and their assistant Ralph- Webb in the pond? It seems the boys bit off more than they could chew and came out on the receiving end of the ducking. Troop 142 put in 7 strenuous days at Balanced Rock. They all left early one Saturday morning and, arriving at the Rock spent the rest of the day cleaning up the place. Thereafter there was plenty of hiking, wood- and camp craft, swimming and recreation. They do say, though, that Eagle Scout Bill Pruden met up with a snake in the water and set an all-time record for the 50-yard free-style swim. Bill really went away from there. Scouts, wnat ao you imna aoout a swimming meet the last of this week or the first part of September? Health and Safety Chairman Rothrock is busy now, studying out the details. Pack 3, of the Cub Section, Boy Scouts of America, held its first monthly Pack meeting Tuesday evening in the Parish Room of All Saints Episcopal Church. With a splendid turn-out of parents and Pack committeemen, the embryo Scouts really put on a top-notch program. Lynwood Schaaf is new Cub-master of the outfit, and un der Lyn’s guidance, just watch ’em go. Incidentally those Cubs do look nice in their new uniforms. Remember, Cubs, handsome is as handsome does! —o— Trie September Board of Review should prove one of the biggest advancement gatherings so far. Summer camping always puts the Scouts on their toes, and they re turn home with added skills in woodcraft all ready for a further increase in rank. But, the Ad vancement Board is even more in terested in the way they’ve been living up to the Scout Oath and Law.
