A WORD ABOUT SCOiniHG

MIRACLE BY JURY—Front
Line Stuff from our Scouting
Magazine. This ts a true story.
When tempers boil over and
fists start flying, what do you
do? This is an account from a
Scoutmaster who solved this
problem.
I came back to camp unex
pectedly and found two of my
Scouts grimly slugging it out
before an interested group of
their colleagues. On the point
of barging in with the usual
bawling out and threats, I had
sudden inspiration. I walked up
to the panting fighters, turned
to the rest of the boys, and an-,
nounced solemnly, “Boys, we’re
going to have a trial. Eacl^^
these two boys may pick an
other boy to be his lawyer. Mr.
Johnson, (the Ass’t Scoutmas
ter) and I will act as ji^dges,
and the rest of you will be the
HOMECOMING
CAPSCHURCH'S
FINANCE DRIVE
With the^Rev. L. W. Reid,
pastor of the New Bethel
Church and his congregation in
charge of the afternoon service,
Shiloh’s Homecoming proved
the most successful of many
years. After the reiyiion dinner.
Rev. Reid spoke to an overflow
ing crowd that jammed the
church.
After a sermon that fitted the
occasion, an offering was lift
ed from the congregation to the
amount of |52.00. The group
leaders appointed by the
church to take the lead in a fJ^
nancial drive, twelve in num
ber, turned in a total of $1,616.
00. Total for the afternoon was
$1,668.00.
Spiritually and materially,
we were blessed. The pastor,
Rev. J. H. Jones, wishes to
thank everyone for the interest
observed in the efforts accom
plished.
Mrs. Lela Wise

Be prepared.”
The next meeting will be at
the home of Mrs. Vera Owens,
903 Walton Street.
H withdrew to my tent and
said no more, but I saw at once
that the Scouts wer6 intrigued
with this strange new kind of
discipline. During the next few
minutes the undercurrent of
tension and excitement built
up until it was positively elec-
'tric. Promptly at the appointed
time Mr. Joiinson and I took
our places at the head of the
^campfire ring. The defendants
and their lawyers then came up
quietljr and took places on
either side of us. And finally
the rest of the troop filed in
quietly.
For a long moment no one
made a sound. Then I an
nounced quietly that we had to
give a fair trial to two Of our
members who had broke the
Scout Law. Each lawyer would
be given five minutes to state
his client’s case and five
minutes to cross-examine the
other defendant. Then the jury
and the judges could ask ques
tions of the defendants. Finally,
I explained, the jury would re
tire and arrive at a verdict, re
commending punisiunent if it
seemed necessary. The judges
would then rule.
What happened next I’ll
never forget. Each lawyer made
a masterly presentation of liis
client’s case and their cross-ex-
amijyatiotis were sharp m a
tack. Then the jury began® a^-
ing questions. They were alert,
probing questions that very of
ten brought new facts to light
or exposed some fallacy in
reasoning. By now the full
story of what had happened
was evident, and it only re
mained for the jury to retire
and reach a verdict. ,
At our signal they quietly
arose and filed out. During the
next fifteen minutes we could
hear the excited hum of their
voices as they discussed the
case, standing in a loose circle
-a short distance away. The de
fendants and their lawyers sat
in a brooding silence near us.
When the jury returned, the
SPL, (Senior Patrol Leader)
acting as foreman, stood and
solemnly 'announced their ver
dict.
Now that is a good place to
stop. Next week we will brin^
you the end of this True Story.
This you cannot miss.

TO CONTINUE
THROUGH DEC.
RALEIGH
“The Christmas Seal Cam
paign will continue through
December”, Mrs. W. T. Bost,
State Christmas Seal Chairman
said recently. "Although the re
sults of the Christmas Seal Sale
so far have been encouraging,
there are many people who
tiave not answered their Christ
mas Seal letter yet, and those
who haven’t are urged to do
so.” ■ '
“What TB means in North
Carolina today has been indi
cated recently by prominent
medical men In the state, and I
wish to quote them to show
how important it is to continue
the Christmas Seal’s fight
against TB,” Mrs. Bost said.
Dr. Stuart Willis, Superinten
dent and Medical Director of
the N. C. Sanatoriums, in a
Btatetnent explaining why the
county sanatoriums are closing
warned “We should not lose
sight of the fact that new cases
of TB are developing and are
doing so at almost the same rate
as they were ten years ago.”
