BOY SCOUT NEWS — Tuesday evening, we visited three of our Roanoke Rapids troops. 144, 145 and 146, and boy oh boy, were we delighted with the troop programs developed in every instance! “This” said we, “is Scouting as she should be carried out.” Over at 146 there was a swell meeting going on — and the Scouts themselves were running the program without a single adult, and in a perfectly orderly manner. Congratulations, L. B. Brown and junior leaders. Any •'time you reach such a point in your Scout ing program, you’ve really “got something.” Scoutmaster Tommy Jenkins ov er at Troop 145, carried out an in vestiture ceremony that was thor oughly effective, and Scout James Edwards was formally welcomed into the troop as a tenderfoot. You should see the patrol dens devel oped by Tommy’s outfit, too. Lions Club members, attention. You’re sponsoring one fine little outfit. Why not get over and see ’em some time? They really deserve that new cabin they’re getting. Over at Troop 144 Willie Minch er’s outfit presented an exception ally fine program. Patrol stunts were the feature of the evening, with honor possibly going to the gang that were taking off Messrs. Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito. Willie is gunning for the editor of this column for making that crack last week about Willie's hiking. Aw, Willie, we all get old, don’t we? Scout Billy Atkinson left this week for Wilmington where he will make his home. Good bye, and good luck to Billy, a willing Scout, and naturally, a willing worker. Billy has gone a long way, in spite* of a handicap that would have stumped many of us. “Bill” Rhoden, our new Field Executive, says that the more he sees of Scouting in Halifax Dis trict, the better he likes it. Thanks a lot, Mr. Rhoden, and we’ll all try to see that that liking is in creased. Speaking of Victory Gardens, Scoutmaster Ben Richardson and his troop over at Weldon have just put in two acres of potatoes. That’s just a gentle hint for some of you fellows over here to go and do likewise. 4* e And those checks for Scrap Met al are going to look pretty good coming in all Spring and Summer, too. —o— Campsites out at the new Camp area were alloted last week, with each Scoutmaster getting an even break on the choice locations. The spring will be tested and OK’d during the next few days; and then, Scouts, go to it! —o— Don’t forget we’ve got a Board of Review coming up just one week from this Wednesday. Better get those advancement applica tions in to Mr. Crumpler pretty shortly now. There should be quite a bit of First and Second Class activity this time. RHODEN NEW FIELD SCOUT EXECUTIVE William B. Rhoden was recently appointed Field Scout Executive of the East Carolina Council and will be permanently located in Ro anoke Rapids, according to a statement made yesterday by the Rev. Gordon L. Price, chairman of Halifax District. “Mr. Rhoden,” stated Reverend Price, “comes to .this district with a rich back ground of Scouting experience, to gether with wide associations in the educational field. He is a graduate of the 87th National Training School for Scout Execu tives, and is delighted with the opportunities for further Scouting progress in this area. For the past two years he has been prin cipal of the Fairfax High School at Fairfax, South Carolina. Rhod en is a native of Reidsville, Ga., and plans to move to this city together with his wife and small daughter at some time during the next week.” Mr. Rhoden succeeds Norman Scrivener, who has served as Field Scout Executive in the city since last year, and who was recently promoted to Assistant Scout Execu tive, with headquarters in Wilson. Mr. and Mrs. Scrivener and family are currently preparing to re move their residence from the city. They made many friends during their short stay in the city, and will be missed in the civic and so cial life of the city. SAYS HE CANNOT PRAISE RETONGA HALF ENOUGH “Distress From Pour Indiges tion Mr V Me Afraid To E it. I Felt Undernourished. Rundown. Retonga Didn’t Fail Me, Feel Fine,” He States. Mr. H. C. Wood, crane operator and handler of heavy construction machinery, well known resident of 306 Markham St., Durham, N. C., declares: “For the past three years I doubt if anyone ever went through more torture from sour indigestion. Everything I ate filled me with gas that seemed it would cut my breath off. I was actually afraid to eat and my appetite was about gone. I felt undernourished and so rundown some days I felt I could hardly pull through the day. I took strong laxatives for consti pation that seemed to weaken me. No matter what means I tried, I just seemed to suffer on and on with no relief in sight. “For happy relief from all this distress I owe Retonga my heart felt praise. I am relieved of the indigestion, gas and smothery feel ing. My appetite was never bet ter and my food gives me strength and energy. I don’t have to take . strong laxatives for constipation. . MR. H. C. WOOD I can go through the whole day without feeling fatigued and worn out. My wife adds her praise too. Retonga happily relieved her of nervous indigestion, sluggish elim ination, and tired-out, achy, run down feeling. Retonga has proven itself in my stubborn case — I cannot praise it half enough.” Retonga is a purely herbal stom achic medicine combined with Vi tamin B-l for the relief of distress as described by Mr. Wood when due to insufficient flow of gastric juices in the stomach, constipation, and Vitamin B-l deficiency. Ac cept no substitute Retonga may be obtained at Rosemary Drug Co. — The Rexall Store. (Adv.)
