47,000 Boys Were
Ai Valley Forge
For Great Event
(Continued from page one)
obtained at central commissaries,
lach campsite, and there were
over one thousand, had a separate
entrance. many had exhibits.
Troop seven, containing all the
Martin Count' boys, had models
of the Wright Memorial and the
Wright • Tic
models td each of these historical
pieces were quite realistic and
'caused rrluch comment.
! The troop put on a miniature
"Lost Colony" pageant one night
, at a small campfire meeting. The
slaughter of the colonists by the
Indians was almost too realistic.
Many of the bo.vs had bruises the
' | next morning.
A boy is a born trader, and at a
meeting such as the Jamboree, he
gratifies his every impulse. Mar
tin County carried tobacco To :
a hoy from New York, two leaves'
of tobacco equals, one pocket
knife . Bovs from Nebraska
t brought cockle-burrs and traded
i them as porcupine eggs, giving.'
i free, explicit instruc tions on how
to hatch them'
Confederate flags wen taboo,
but that merely served to multi
ply them. Before the Jamboree
was over, they were flying from1
GHQ. Many Southern boys work
ed late into the- night to erect
these symbols of resistance. There u
were no unfortunate incidents in ,
connection with the flags. Only I
regrettable incident at the Jam
boree was the death of one boy i
from Texas He had Polio upon:
arrival. He was immediately hos
pitalized at the Naval Hospital In
Pheiladelphia, and two specialists
flown from New York, his family1
doctor and parents from Texas,
two nurses day and . night, two!
iron lungs, and Hi consulting phy
sicians could not save him.
Jimmy Wallace, who attended
the Jamboree as a Medical assist
ant concluded that Poison Iw, not
the cold, killed 3000 of George
Washington s men. Boys came in- j
to tin medical tent literally cov
ered with the stuff, and calamine,
and tannic acid and rubbing alco
hol were dispensed throughout
the week as it it were water, and I
even on the train coming home,
hoys were still doctoring them- *
selves.
