FATHER AND SON BANQUET
The annual Father and Son
Banquet will he held this year
at the High School Lunch Room
near the high school building, Fri
day evening, February 8 at 6 p. m.
Scouts and Cubs of the city are’
urged to invite their father to
attend this Pot Luck Supper with
them. Each Scout and Cub attend
ing the supper will be expected to
furnish sufficient food for him
self and visitor. We are hoping
this year that we will have more
than three hundred in atetendance
at the supper. Awards will be
made to the troop having the best
scout skit, best advancement and
the outstanding scout troop of the
district, together with the scout
who has done the most toward
the scouting program during the
past year. It is also hoped that
Die Camping and Activity Com
mittee will be able to supply
Civic Service ribbons to those
Scouts of the city and district
who have earned the priviiedge of
wearing the ribbons.
SHOW FOR SHIRTS OFF BACK
CAMPAIGN
Activity Chairman C. A. Irby
has succeeded in getting a free
- show to help in our drive for old
Scouting equipment for Scouts of
foreign countries. Chairman Irby
announces that he has arranged
for an early run of the regular
Saturday’s show at the Royal
Theatre, Saturday morning start
ing at 10 a. m. there will be only
one showing of the picture. Ad
[mission to the show will be a
contribution to the Shirts Off Our
flack Campaign that has been
started by National Headquarters.
It is the hop 3 of the National
Council that every Scout now in
the Boy Scout Program will ar
range to give at least some part
r.f a Scout uniform. Each Scout
in the city or District that gives
a part of a uniform or other
scouting equipment to their scout
master will be given a ticket to
the Saturday morning show at
the Royal Theatre. The show will
not be limited to Scouts alone, but
will be for all those that have
such equipment to give to the
Scout drive. Some youngster might
have had an older brother con
nected with the scout and would
like to give his equipment to this
worthy undertaking, if so he will
also receive a free ticket to the
show at the Royal, through the
Scoutmaster of the troop to which
he takes his equipment. We have
plenty of room in the theatre
and hope that we will be able to
fill every seat in the building.
CHURCH SERVICES SUNDAY
The annual Boy Scout Church
Sunday will be observed at the
Presbyterian Church on Sunday
morning at the regular morning
services with the Rev. Johnnie
Walker preaching. Last year we
had the smallest number of Scouts
and Cubs to attend rne services
that we have ever had in the
City Church Services. We cer
tainly hope that scouts and cubs
will plan now to be present for
the services at the Church. Lets
Church at 11 i. m. Sunday morn
ing February 10. It is our hope
'hat an award will be given the
troop that has the largest per
cent of their troop present for
the services at the Churchr. Lets
see if we can have 100 per cent
attendance at this service.
SCOUTMASTERS ROUNDTABLE

Scoutmasters Rountable will be

scout troop of 141. Monday night

OLD CLOTHES DRIVE
From the stand point of the
response of scouts in the last old
Clothe Drive that was staged in
the city the drive was a huge
success, we had more than three
times the numb°r of scouts need
ed for the drive, Scouts from
troops 145, 146. and 147 are to
be congratulated on their prompt
response to the call for the drive.
About 50 scouts were on time at
?:30 Friday for the drive, they
.vaited until 4:15 for the truck
.hat were to be in the drive, Rev.
Udmond succeeded in rounding
ip two trucks about 4:20 p. m.
rom Howerton Gowen and Rose
nary Mills, and the drive was
itarted, about 4:40 the city truck
ippeared and completed the drive.
Are the officials of the Scouting
irogram of the city are sorry that
hose faithful scouts were forced
:o wait for more than an hour,
jut appreciate the fact that they
were ready for the drive when
arrangements had been completed.
We hope that we will be able to
get things a little better planned
in the future.
