Page 8 WAYNESVILLE, N. C, THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1937 THURSDAY, MM IN WASHINGTON By ROBERT R. I ' I REYNOLDS 'r-.. United States f Senator As Federal reports and studies dealing with national affairs during the last few years are given to the Congress as a basis for considering new government programs and poli cies, ample evidence is found that North Carolina has an underlying stability equaled by only a compar tively small number of states. Sup port of thi statement is available in volumes of Federal statistics and data regarding the state's industry, com merce and agriculture. They tell a graphic hUtory of how well North Carolina weathered the storms of the depression and how well the state is prepared to move forward during the fairer economic weather ahead. Resume Of Year's Boy Scout Work Boy Scouts Have A Strong Or ganization Led By Mr. Brown And Coach Weatherby One reason the state enjoys such a favorable position is because of the diversity of its agriculture and indus try. Farmers are not forced to de pend on a single commodity nor indus trial workers on a single branch of industry. And afrng the seaboard, in the Piedmont region and in the moun tains are found many indications that the economic stability in North Caro lina is well-founded. Naturally, the fine standing of the state, reflected in the reports ana studies sent to Congress, is a source of much gratification to the members of the delegation in Congress. It should also bring pride to all citizens, particularly at this commencement season for schools and colleges, when so many of our younger generation prepare to face the problems of life, economic and social. On numerous occasions, my col leagues in Congress who have visittsi North Carolina or passed through the state en route t0 and from other des tinations, have been loud in their praise of the physical appearance of the state. They have referred to the skyline of smoke belching from fac tory chimneys and the hum of busy machinery. They have referred to the welftjpainted an4 well-kept homes that line the highways. They have referred to the busy communities re flecting the active life of North Caro linians all indicating that people are noticing the way in which our state is quietly going about solving itls problems to the advantage of all cit izens. Hardly a day passes in Washington that some member of Congress does not pass along to North Carolina col: leagues a favorable reaction of some activity within the state. As those who have their eyes on North Caro lina come from every far-reaching section of the United States, here is indeed evidence that the people throughout the country are favorably attracted to the state. It has been said on many occasions that a steady flow of visitors to the state means new revenue for our peo pie without undermining our soil, de. nuding our forests, depleting our mines or interferring with basic means of income. It is gratifying to know that the state is preparing to launch an aggressive program to in crease the flow of visitors, many of whom will remain as residents. Many sections of the state have been de veloped by the capital of the people who visited the state, became attract ed by its possibilities, and have be come North Carolinians in spirit and in deed. These observations lead to one im portant conclusion. It is that North Carolinians should find in the interest of others refreshing evidence of what their state offers. Students should have full knowledge of the opportu nities to be found. Tours of the state for and by North Carolinians should be encouraged. The fisherman at Nag's Head should know the woodmen During the summer of 1936, the Waynesville Scouts, Troop No. 1, took only one good hike. The Scoutmaster, was Mr. LeRoy Davis, but Mack Davis led the hike. The hike started near the fish hatch ery at Balsam. That afternoon the scouts reached PJott's Balsam. Here they watched the sun set over the mountain, made camn and sDent the night in the open with only blankets for their beds. The next morning, they broke camp and continued their route. They crossed Plott's Balsam, crossed Jones' Knob, where they ate lunch, and then returned to Waynes vilie. In the fall, Mr. J. C. Brown as ap pointed Scoutmaster by the Rotary Club of Waynesville. He took the I troop tq Black Camp Gap on an over night trip, soon after taking command. Mr. Brown's next move was to put the Scouts into uniforms. The uni forms were bought on the credit of the Rotary Club which sponsors the troop. The boys paid for their uni forms. By this method, the entire troop was supplied with uniforms. When the football season started, someone had to manage the traffic. The scouts were given whistles and under the management of Mr. Brown, the scouts handled the incoming cars, parked them and took care of the out-' going cars. The scouts handled the traffic se well that not one accident occurred. The prominent men of the community praised them for their good work. By the time the troop was well or anized, the officers at that time were: Ben Oolkitt, Jr., treasurer; William McCracken, secretary; Ben Colkitt, Jr., bugler and senior patrol leader, with Jack Richeson, Ben Colkitt. Jr., Joe Davis and William McCracken as patrol leaders. In the late fall, the Court of Honr for the troop was established. The court consists of William Medford, chairman, Dr. S. P. Gay and Mr. W. D. Smith. Later, this court was made a district court when Haywood coun ty was taken into Daniel Boone Coun cil As soon as 19.37 came, the troop was registered and received a new charter. A troop committee composed of Mr. H. H. Bowles, Mr. LeRoy Davis and Mr. W. R. Woodall was selected and councilors were chosen to help the boys pass merit badges. The coun cilors are Mr. Dan Watkins for safetv and pathfinding; Mr, W. L. LampkinVi signaling; itr. sisk. first aid, and Mr. George, cooking. In January, the Rotary Club gave the Scouts a Father and Son banquet, at which the Scouts and the sponsors gathered for a very pleasant evening. In January, Mr. C. E. Weatherby was selected to be assistant Scoutmas ter to Mr. Brown. The officers now are as follows: Mr. J. C. Brown, Scoutmaster. Mr. C. E. Weatherby, Asst. Scout master. Ben Oolkitt, Jr., Junior Assistant beoutmaster. Jack Richeson, Senior Patrol Lead er. Joe Davis, Scribe. Patrol Leaders: Henry Foy, Ken neth Palmer, Ralph Sease, William McCracken. The ranks of the boys are: Life tcouts, Ben Colkitt, Jr., and Joe Davis; Star Scouts. Jack Richeson and Joe Way; First Class William McCracken, Henrv Fov. Ralnh Sease. Bobby Lee, Joe Tate, Byron Marsh, Kenneth Palmer, and Marion Green. and a number of Scout Class and Ten. derfeet. District Court of Honor are beiner held alternately in Canton and Wav- nesville each month. Much has been nlanned for the Scout Troops of Waynesville. Canton and Hazelwood. A lion tamer has been arrested for mistreating his beasts. He probably was cruel enough to jerk away a eg on which a lion was contentedly munching. A Los Angeles botanist has said to have developed a thornless rose, but no motorist ever expects to see the day when someone will invent taxless gasoline. n the mountains and vice versa. In this way a greater degree of state pride and civic consciousness will be developed and the high standing of North Carolina among the states will draw even favorable attention. .

Supreme Court Bill Is Delayed In Senate No extra juderes will be appointed t the Sunreme Court bench any time soon. Late word from keen obserwers in Washington is that opponents of the Roosevelt bill will not permit the measure to come to a roll call in tne Senate unless they have votes enough to kill it. They assert the six-judge bill is definite! v out. Meanwhile Sen ate opposition is getting in its effec tive work, ooenlv and secretly.
