Reports Tuesday Reveal Active
Troops of Pioneers Working
Against Scout Program
In Council.
Shelby, Sept. 18.—A meeting of
the executive officials of the Pied
mont Council, Boy Scouts of Ameri
ca, was held in Hotel Charles here
Tuesday night with twenty-six of
ficials representing each of the five
counties of the council in attendance.
Council President J. W. Atkins, edi
tor of the Gastonia Daily Gazette, of
Gastonia, presided.
. Following the dinner hour reports
were heard from each of the five
county vice-presidents, the scout ex
ecutive and members of the council
committee. All reports tended to
show that the council was in favor
able condition, and the scout move
ment progressing nicely. Reports dis
closed the fact that approximately
$l,lOO is yet due from Rutherford
county on the 1929 quota. The big
problem facing the council, as dis
closed Tuesday night, is the lack of
adequate leadership of scout troops
and the menance of the "Pioneer"
jmovement, an organization sponsored
in Gaston county by the Communists.
According to President Atkins ac
tive troops of "The Pioneers" are
at work in Gaston county, and in one
instance this movement has been de
trimental to one Boy Scout troop.
Rev. G. R. Gillespie, a former Forest
City man, now of Gastonia, has been
devoting much time and effort in
combatting the influence of the Pio
neer and Communist movement, stat
ed Mr. Atkins. He further stated that
the Communists had filched Boy
Scout uniforms, in which they cloth
ed members of their own organiza
tions, who were placed on the streets
of Gastonia to distribute "Red" lit
erature. Rev. G. R. Gillespie was in
strumental in recovering these uni
forms from the imposters and plac
ing them in the hands of the proper
authorities.
At the close of the business session
an interesting report was made by
Scout Fred Smyre, Jr., of Gastonia,
who was one of the North Carolina
delegation of Boy Scouts to the In
ternational Jamboree, held in Birken
head, England, last month.
Rutherford county representatives
attending the meeting were county
vice-president Clarence Griffin; Fred
C. Kinzie, chairman of troop train
ing, and R. E. Price, county finance
chairman.
