Scouts' Trip To Florida Described By Scoutmaster By JACK B. DAVIDSON (Scoutmaster i It was Friday morning, De cember 6. the long-awaited hour of departure tot the Highlands Boy Scouts. Tl>e Flor- I Ida fishing trip had begun, t shortly after 4 o'clock. The cold j weather at the beginning of the trip did not give i much inkling oi the sunny beaches of Flor ida. At 6 o'cloqk that evening the truck pulled into Spring Creek, a Iresh-water lishing spot, and ' the site of the first night's I camp, it was not long before j tome djzen crabs were caught to add to the supper of trout and hush-puppies. Ed, the cook, had supper ready in speedy fashion, and it was not long beiore everybody was asleep, t-ut the night's dreams about ihe prospects of tomorrow's lishing were interrupted by the la miliar sound of pine-iooier tuunts ana the cracking ox shells. I he hogs had cume, and much entertainment was had by all for the rest of the nigm. Tom Harbison thougnt >.omt sneaker was pushuig close 10 the tent, but it- wus oaly a hog, and with a iesouiiain;i smack Tom routed the eaves dropper.* Earl Baty awoke in the wee small hours to iind a large member of the visiting delega tion tearing his pack to bits to get to the lard contained there in. So went the night. Tne aext . day the whole troop, like the prodigal son, rose up and said, "I will arise and go to the beach, leaving forever swine fold." And so, after a morning mostly wasted, catching only a few trout among many shiners v/e departed for the beach be low Panacea. The former site was dubbed "Swineburg", a. good place to be far away from. I'nforeetable Vista "What's the matter with you", someone asked Albert (Yokumi Edwards, as he ran wildly down the beach. "My imagination is running away with me", Yokum ? declared. This exclamation de- ! scribes in apt fashion the first ; evening on the beach. The Gull 1 of Mexico, with that unforget- i able vista of the moon and the | sun at exactly the same height, ; was enough to set to work the wildest imagination. Pelicans j flopping around; the crazy call j of a loon; wild geese flying! overhead; ducks landing out in I the Gulf ? all these things were j just what the doctor ordcrr I. Camp had been pitched on a series of dunes towering above the Gulf. A good night's sleep free from the former camp guests had put the whole troop in a good mood. With a day full of new experiences, the group settled down, after the night's vesper service, with new comprehension of what a won derful world it is, and how many things they had not seen before. They had marveled at the depth of Wakulla Springs, the clear water, the huge fish and strange birds frequenting the place. There had been so many new experiences that day, and the night's peace was not even interrupted by the visits of the coon and opossum on the beach. Some of the boys were I sleeping very near the paths of ' these night travelers, but did j not even wake to see one. Yet the tracks In the sand revealed the abundance of night visitors. I Monday Was Great Day The highlight of the whole ex pedltion came on Monday. A boat had been secured for a | trip to the Grouper banks and i the troop set out early in the | morning in a spirit of high an- i tlcipation Sea bass were plen tiful, and some twenty miles out, the boat finally reached the Grouper Banks. The sun was about to set and the only grouper was caught by R. L. Beale. Being small of stature, R. L. had to be held on the boat while he pulled the Group er in, but he was the day's champion fisherman with a 10 pound Grouper. Some houndred pounds of fish were caught that day; with the constant tug of lines the basket filled up and every body was happy. Tudor Hall filed the barb from his hook so that he might get rid of each fish quicker and catch more. Others were not so greedy? some got tired of pull ing them in. and others lan qulshed in miserable sea- sick new. One base fellow, whose ?H'BMiH'l M??? nMrN pp ?? y#u??rt?f? ?*? in IS wh? ix "l** ? t*4 H >l?v" Umwi ?l l?'hy r?IUI lor ????? itoniKh ami iv It Mmtlpctl**. C??t?in? www. W1 >Mtlv*,g*nH*.

The scoutmaster was tak ing it easy in the warm after noon sunlight, when Charlie Gibson came running breath lessly from the beach exclaim ing, "Mr. Davidson, get the 45 and come down here, Earl and Duane have a shark treed". And Elbert Edwards learned of . a new kind of hunt, "the Snipe hunt". It was impassible for some of us to forget the care with which Yokum selected his snipe stand, while the others flushed the snipe. However, foi some reason his orange sack ? was returned to camp uiipv) j Yokum was disappointed t u ! hoped for better luck next time. | it's a long way from xiitrn j lands, N.
