Clara Hearne MESSAGE TO x L" PARENTS OF SCOUTS Your boy or girl has chosen a course which only one boy or girl in twenty has the privilege of choosing. They have chosen to become one of the Boy or Girl Scouts of America. You have un questionably a right to be proud of them for this. Do you realize that this is almost their wholly free choice? They went naturally and obediently to your church with you. All of us who are scoutleaders are glad for that, and regardless of our own re ligions, we all encourage scouts to follow the faiths of their par ents. They went naturally and obediently to school. The scout leaders want scouts to appreciate school, to continue in it as long as possible, and to be thrifty of their educational re6ources. But your boy or girl came to the Scouts, asked you if he might, of his own desire. Stand by them to win! Scouts do not want to be babied. They are themselves, citizens, with obligations to their homes, their God and their country. One of the things which parents try to bear for them is the obliga tion to earn their own way as a scout; to earn their own equip ment. There are many things which your boy or girl will see and want, But we feel that we have failed in our purpose if they ask you for the money instead of for counsel regarding earning it. We have found, doubtless you have noticed it, too, that a uni form makes boys and girls carry themselves better, expand their chests for more pure air, and, use both feet to stand on. We have noticed, too, that an earned uni form lasts bettei than more ex pensive clothes bought from the family treasury. Scoutmaster Ned Manning, Captains Ruth Coble, Christine Temple, Annie Lamb, Many KeyserlingandLieutenants Ethel Byrd and Juanita Kearns are planning ways by which the Scouts may earn their uniforms without drawing on the family purse. However, there are a few ex penses which both the boys and girls have to find their own way of earning money for. The girls pay a registration fee of fifty cents (50), and a small weekly due ranging from one cent to five cents. They may order a Girl Scout Handbook if they wish to, but it is not compulsory. The boys pay a registration fee of fifty cents, no weekly dues, but they must order a Boy Scout Handbook which costs forty-two (42) cents. Help your boy or girl earn or make the things which will make their scout work interesting, successful and safe. A few of tha things which we will work for later on is the own ership of sufficent camping equip ment so that we may spend a great deal of time out-of-doors, without risk to our health and with positive benefit to it. The ownership of a compass, signal apparatus, fire set, etc., develop es sell reliance. Acquiring a good ax and knife, their safe use and care has a wholesome effect upon character! ' Having cameras improve our observation cf the beautiful things in the world. Sensible first aid equipment, to go on the hike, and to be constantly at hand in the home is a good thing to work for. Equally we believe in sensible books, and magazines of information, outdoor craft and adventure. These are the tools of scouting, the common interest of our boys and girl3. This being your boy's or girl's first, big independent adventure, and it is a Big adventure, a taste of success in it will sharpen his taste for success in school, for usefulness as a citizen and for preparation for his or her coming duties in church, business and at home. Scout's success is meas ured in one direction by advance ment in his tests. You will find a study of the handbooks very interesting yourself. Baptist White Sale The ladies of the Roanoke Rapids Baptist Church will hold their annual white sale on Sat urday, November, 12th at the store of Mr. B. S. Wcob on Roa noke Avenue. Cakes, pies and candy also on sale. As you do not want your scouts nrst;to be quitters tide them over their discouragements and speak a word of appreciation which will stimulate them to Be Pre pared by becoming a First Class Scout. Attendance at meetings, loyal ty to their patrol and troop, and the practice of self-reliance on hikes, all go to make up their success. No scout leader wishes to interfere with any scouts home duties, but the privilege of being a hundred per cent scout is one that is precious to your child, and so to you. May they arrange their home work to approach this standard and be a hundred pointer in both place3? All scout leaders are voluntary leaders of troops They have no axes to grind. They do not earn a penny. They are men and women who take time out of their own busy lives to introduce boys and girls to the scout life and supervise their numerous activities. No one does any scout leader a favor, ever, by at tending his troop. There is a warm and fine comradeship, and a keen appreciation of the leader ship qualities in some of the scouts, and we are mighty glad to see more and boys and girls come through our doors. The chances are that the leaders of your Scout is leading a very busy life. They would like to meet you, to gain your friendship and support. They cannot take 32 nights away from their homes to visit each one of you as easily as you slip down to a troop meet ing with your boy, or girl, to be introduced proudly to the gang. Then let your leaders know you are with them, and with your child. lhe great adventure is camp, days and nights out in the open. The percentage of scouts who run away from home is very small. There are two reasons. One is the laws; a scout's , loyalty prohibits his causing heartache for his parents, the other. he has a saner, more inviting adven ture in the overnignt hike and the summer camp. It is one ideal of the move ment to interest boys and girls in things to do at home. Your scout-leaders will welcome an invitation for your childs patrol to meet occa3ionlly at your house. This does not mean that they ex pect a "feed". It simply means a chance to rehearse a stunt for show night, or to speed up for signal or first aid contest, or to pass off some tests. The essence of the scout move ment is its oath, its laws, its good turn. But these things are built into life by activity in which mental alertness, moral straight ness, physical soundness, courte sy, obedience, sportsmanship, team loyalty, thrift, etc., are considerations. The methods of scouting are important. But the spirit of Scouting is the spirit of America itself, of whole- ome, useful, happy citizenship and brotherhood. The boys and girls both have as their purpose to become better citizens to "Carry on!" Doing a man's work in a man's way. Doing a woman's work in a woman's way, doing small things that women have always done as well as the new things that have been open ed to women. The world isn't in need of women who are copies of men. A boy should try his best to be the best Scout in the world. A girl, should try her best to be the best Scout in the world, but she must remember that after all she's a Girl, not a Boy Scout Now all together behind this Scout movement to make this selection one of the leaders in Scouting.

The Boll Weevil is Here That the bowl weevil is really here in Halifax County is a fact beyond question. Mr. J. T. How erton, who lives on Route Two, near Drapers' Cross Roads, re ports the finding of the bugs on his place last Sunday, and also of seeing signs of them in his cotton field. Mr. Howerton, who has been living in Texas for many years until recently, is very familiar with the weevil. His experience dates back to the second year they appeared in the United States, and in discussing the weevil, Mr. Howerton said that the farmers had tried cut every conceivable remedy sug gested in an effort to check the weevil's progress, but so far as is known nothfng has been effect ive. In 1913 while living at Chapel Hill, Texas, Mr. Hower ton said he sent to the Galveston Stock Exchange a stalk of cotton thirteen feet in height on which the weevil had killed every square, tie also states tnat tne climatical conditions have a great deal to do with the progress of the weevil. Mr. C. E. McGwigan also cap tured a boll weevil while visiting at Scotland Neck last Sunday and was showing it on our streets Monday. Mr. E. G. Lee reported capturing one at Mr. M. E. Cousins cotton gin at Ringwood Thursday. Enfield Progress. honor rolls JUNIOR-SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 11th Grade Josephine liege.
