Scoutin’ A round
By PETER CARLTON
THE coronation exercises for the 4-H Health Kings
and Queens went on just the same despite the rain,
with some odd 140 persons turning out, including
the 4-H Clubbers. It is interesting to note, too, how
it is that youngsters who take the lead in things are
generally pretty much head over heels in other ac
tivities. For instance. Tommy Leary, who was
crowned Senior King, is also a crackerjack Scout,
belonging to Troop 169 of Rocky Hock. Charles'
Lee Overman is a leading Scout belonging to Troop
156 of Edenton. Herbert Ray Lane, from last re
ports, we hear is one of the two Lone Scouts of the

Albemarle, and who has shown much interest in out-of-door activi
ties. These two lads had prominent parts on the program, We were
proud, too, the way our girls Carried out their parts. While it would
take too long in this column to mention all the lads and lassies who
took part in the program, we should
in addition to the above mention the
names of our Senior Queen, who was
Miss Marguerite Nixon, and the
Junior Queen, who was Miss Marion
Nixon. Jackie Morris was the Junior
King. (Congratulations—all of you.
We’re proud of you.)
The American Legion is issu
ing membership cards to non
members of the Legion that they
might enjoy the privileges of the
“Saturday Night Club" at the
base. These cards may be se
cured from any member. As is
known, the American Legion is
a strong factor for good every
where in the United States.
Let’s give them our whole
hearted cooperation in what
they’re trying to do here in our
own community.

But after all is said and done, the
’ life of any troop depends vitally on
the Scoutmaster. Charlie Overman
j has really put out. We know he
knows what it is—and how difficult
it is to resist the call of the kids who
- seek his leadership—even though he
- may have been sorely in need of rest
, after a hard day’s work, or even on
( the week-end. when his plans were
' laid to do some work on the house,
1 or make some needed repairs around
the place. Week after week, tiffy
-1 two weeks in the year. Year after
- year for six long years. And I'll bet
1 he wouldn't take a dime for the ex-
I periences he's had in watching the
- growth of character in boys. Eleven
) Eagles out of Edentoh’s Eagle
- Scouts came through his guidance,
t Here truly is a man that deserves.
y not just the praise of a parent—'not
‘ the praise of the Rotary Club—but
1 the praise and honor bestowed by a
• grateful community. A Scoutinas
i ter’s work is. the "boy.” This un
sung worker: of the community really
gets his satisfaction out of watching
the little kid—the little fellow who
burned his first potato or his meat on
that first trip out —grow up and go
off about his life’s work. There are
others who worked hard, too. with
boys, but the formal load of respon
sibility rests on the Scoutmaster —the
one to whom the finger points should
things turn sour. It is he who is
signed up to make those meetings
every week, and if he misses many,
that. too. can break up the troop. A
man like this—and we’re not going
to mince words, is an asset to any
community. Our hat’s off- to you.
Charlie, boy.

Let us not forget our Scout
master of a crackerjack troop in
j Rocky Hock. We speak of O. C.
Long. And don’t forget his as
sistant, Alphonzo Spivey. This
new outfit, just begun last year,
really made strides. We know
»hat it took to make it go. too,
for we had a part in trying to
find someone to assume the lead
ership of the kids. This young
fellow who just came back from
the war. realized what Scouting
I would do for the youngsters of
his community. So he and Al
phonzo Spived undertook to
answer the call of leadership
made by the young people. The
result —an outfit that is making
a name for itself. Troop 169 is
sponsored by the Rocky Hock
Community League with Still
man Leary as chairman.

Tennis is a fine sport. It draws a
tremendous following at the big
matches in Forest Hills, Long Island.
There’s a certain attraction in watch
ing the graceful skill of women play
ers, and the agility of male players.
It is a fast game and affords many
thriljsjfor the fans. However, a taste
for it. too. must be developed. There
is a nice opportunity for us to have
night games. with comfortable
benches for the folks to lounge on
j while watching the matches. We’ve
played games with Herbert Peek,
