SAM ; It was just last P'riday after noon when we set out, and we were twenty - six including ccout Colburn Glover, (our leader) Miss Hodges and Director Keys erling. We departed from town in troop formation, but speedily left our ranks when Scout Glover led us through a brier patch and ;.cross a laiien tree, wnen me woods were reached we had our i first lesson in trauma: linn' A few numbers went ahead eaving marks on trees and on the ground. Finally we came to "The Creek." After a "screamy," wet passage we reached the opposite bank by going across straddling two logs when we didn't slide' in the water, At last we came in sight of Camp Sam. Hastily we built a fire and ate our supper. Then the perilous journey home began. Crossing the creek wasn't half as bad as passing the cemetery in the dark. Our courage was kept up by the cheering song3 of the girls led by Mary Jones which must have scared even the ghosts away. We hope the Boy Scouts will soon have the creek spanned with a real bridge, because we like Camp Sam and want to go back again. Last week was Tenderfoot Ex amination week for the Pine Cone' and Goldenrod Troops. The Red Rose Troop, which is the youngest, is working hard to pass off its work. The Pine Cone Troop with the exception of one member completed all tests, mak ing a troop of thirty- two mem bers.

This milk will cost four cents a glass. Tickets for the week will be sold Monday morning to the children. Twenty cents, will buy a ticket which will be good for five glasses of milk or one glass a day for the entire week. These tickets can be bought from the teachers. The children have recently been weighed and measured, and many of them have been found to be under weight. It has been proved beyond a doubt that milk will remedy th's trouble. The Parent - Teacher Association has done an excellent thintr in providing milk for chil dren and parents should see that their children do not suiter lor a daily cup of milk.

For the regain ing eight numbers of the course a ticket may be purchased for $2.50. Oneattaction will probably be worth the price of a season ticket. Our Armistice Celebration In any kind of a celebration of any kind of thing, the chief thing to keep in mind is what we're celebrating. Then we can actually celebrate in the right sort of way. When we come to a celebration of the day which marked the end of all that roar and din and horror out on the battlefields of France, we must keep in mind three things, in order that we may celebrate ac ceptably. First, we must keep faith with those who suffered and served nobly during the days of war. "If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, tho poppies blow, In Flander's Field". Then, looking to ourselves, we must realize that to "keep faith" we must give and serve in our time to make a better, happier world. And finally, thinking on ahead into the future, we know that somehow we must plan for a world, a country, a town which will make possible better, nobler manhood and womanhood in the days that are to follow our own. Keeping theie things in mind, we will come to our celebration -the Community Sing - Friday night, in a happy state of mind, because we will be making our selves, as well as other folks, happier. Th sing will be held in the Auditorium of the Central School Building at 7:30' P. M. Friday, Nov. 11th. There will be no admittance fee. Everybody is invited. In addition to the songs which we all will sing to gether, there will be the follow' ing extra attractions: L Upening remarks by our Mayor, Dr. Long. 2. Special songs, by Baptist Sunday School, Rosemnry; Meth odist Junior Choir, Roanoke Rapids; Men's Bible Class, Pres byterian Church; Baptist Choir, Roanoke Rapids. 3. Tiano Solo, by Miss Whit ley.

Twenty-four of their little friends were there and had a big time playing games. They were carried to the dining room which was decorated with autumn leav es and red and white chrysanthe mums. Their birthday cake, with a candle for each year, sat in the middle of the table. The little folks greatly enjoyed see ing the candles lighted. Pink and white cake and cream were served, also several kinds of fruit. Many beautiful birthday presents were received. At 5 o'clock the little folks departed for their homes. Arbor Day Program Friday, November the eigh teenth, the citizens of Roanoke Rapids and Rosemary will ob serve for the first time, as a community, Arbor Day. On that day citizens, schools and other organizations will plant trees. This community is young, pro gressive and its future is one of promise.
