A WORD ABOUT SCOiniHG BT HZNBT W. fiHJJS Dbtrlct Scoot Kz«entlT« 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.

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. ■On Saturday December'17, at the W. D.
