COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 10:
The Annual Council Banquet and
Aneeting will be on December 10,
7 p. m., in the Kinston Hotel, Kin
ston, N. C. Every registered Scout
er of the Council has been invited
to attend the meeting. Wives of
Scouters are also urged to attend
this meeting. It is the hope of
District Chairman C. D. Liske that
Halifax District will have the larg
est delegation present at the meet
ing. In the past Roanoke Rapids
and Halifax District has been one
rtpf the few Districts that has at
' tended the banquet in strength. It
is the plan of the District Com
mittee to ask every Committee
Chairman to be a one man trans
portation committee for his entire
committee and at the same time to
ask each Troop Chairman to be
a transportation committee of one
for the members of his troop com
mittee and scoutmaster. This
plan has been successful in the
ajpast and we feel that it will work
again this year. There will be sev
eral cars making the trip in addi
tion to those of_ the committee
chairmen and chairmen ~ of 'troop
committees, and it is hoped that
all those who desire to make the
trip will get in touch with Field

possible so that he might, with the
help of other members of the dis
trict committee, arrange transpor
Atation for all those that find they
^have no other means of transpor
tation. District chairman C. D.
Liske announced that he planned
to have a call meeting of the dis
trict committee on Friday before
the Council meeting for the pur
pose of completing plans for the
trip to Kinston.
FIELD EXECUTIVE
HART IN DISTRICT:
^ Field Scout Executive H. C. Hart
™ recently hired Negro field execu
tive, spent Monday and Tuesday
working in Halifax district with
leaders among the Negro group.
Field Executive Hart began plans
for a Divisional Committee that
would be responsible for all Negro
Scouting in this district, working
under and with Interacial Chair
man John Hines. The addition of
Executive Hart to the staff of
A East Carolina Council is a defi
® nite step forward in interacial
scouting - in this Council. East
Carolina Council has a large num
ber of registered Negro Scouts
•
but not in accord with the num
ber of Negro boys that are of
scouting age in this council, and
under the leadership of Field Exe
cutive Hart it is assured that Ne
gro scouting in this section will
take a definite step forward. We
are glad to welcome Executive
Hart into the family of Scouting
and sincerely hope that he wi’l
enjoy his scouting associations
here as much as any he has ever
experienced. The district commit
tee is behind this move and offers
every assistance possible towards
the development of Negro scouting
in this section.
BOARD OF REVIEW:
Again we would like to remind
Scouts of the city and District
that the regular monthly Board of
Review will be held the second
Wednesday in each month, and
that scoutmasters are requested to
submit a list of the Scouts desir
ing advancement at least 48 hours
before the time set for the Board
of Review. Often as in the case
of last month, the members of the
members of the Board of Review
will be a few minutes late, but
scouts of the city may rest assur
ed that some member of the Board
will appear for the regular meet
ing each second Wednesday 8 p.
m., at the Municipal Building. The
The November Board of Review
was one of the largest held in
several months, we are glad to see
the scouts of the city taking more
interest in the advancement pro
gram and hope that scoutmasters
of all the troops of the city will
assist the Advancement Committee
in stimulating scouts to take ad
vantage of the progra moffered by
the Advancement Committee.
SALVAGE DRIVE:
Plans are being made to hold
a Salvage Drive on Sunday after

are completed announcement will
be made in another section of this

to those troops being asked to par
ticipate in the drive. The present
