The Civic I Service recognition is an award for which they work very hard and for which they well deserve recognition. However they do not work for any reward of any kind, except the knowledge of work well done and for t>he honor of wearing the little red badge. The duty consists of various things, but the most outstanding this time was for Mie work they did when the Air Show was in Louis |burg several weeks ago and the traffic was so heavy and then on i Memorial Day when they helped lusher the tremendous crowd and also formed a guard of honor, for Ambassador Daniels ? on that day tlicy also helped decorate the graves of Veterans in the County and were of tremendous help. Ou the night of the graduation exer cise* at Mills Iligh School when i it rained so hard, they werd right there, helping direct the crowd and they assisted ill getting a i number of people in the auditor ium by holding umbrellas overj them and going backward and forward in the pouring rain and they worked until some of tliein were drenched to the skin, but they stuck by their Job until it was all over. You always see them on the streets selling pop pies for disabled Veterans, or selling tickets for some charita ble cause and they are always eager to assist in any civic or pa-i t?riotic program. They had a float In the Dedication parade that caused much favorable comment and had the only American Flag flown in the whole parade. In fact the Scqpt program is one that is well calculated t<o build cl<6&n, strong, healthy minded American boys. Mr, Calhoun, after the badges were presented, discussed the work the Scouts were doing and could do and also called attention to tihe two negro troops in the County ? one In Louisburg and one in Franklinton.
