MARCH, 1951 Few Scout Troops In West Durham Heed Parents t» Volunteer As Leaden Parents of boys and girls in Sonthside end E. K. Poe Schools often wonder why their children do not have the opportunity to join the Brownies, the Girl Scouts, a Cub Pad: or the Boy Scouts. The reason is that not enongh parents in this community have volunteered to be Seout Leaders. Girl Scouts No previous training or expe rience is necessary to become a Girl Scout or Brownie Leader. The Durham Girl Seout office gives a short training course for all future leaders. In addition to spending one hour a week in the Brownie or Seout meeting, the leader can count on spending at least an hour a week planning the meeting. A Brownie Leader usually has from 14 to 16 girls, ages 7 to 10, in a troop. A Girl Scout troop has no more than twenty-four girls from 10 to 14 years old. Each troop should have one Leader and one Co-leader. If you are interested in working with the girls at Southside or E. K. Poe Schools as a Scout Leader, call the Girl Scout Office in Dur ham, 5-8191. A Leader's Train ing Course will be given in April or May. Mothers who work dur ing the day can take the course at night. Boy Scouts Boys 8 through 10 years old are eligible to become Cub Scouts. After 11, they become Boy Scouts. A Cub Pack has been organised bv the E. K. Poe School P.TA. Since there is such a Med for lead ers and a great demand among the boys to join, membership in Pack 418 is limited to those boys whose parents will accept leadership. The Pack is divided into Dens, six to eight hoys in a Den. Any mother who can spend approxi mately two hours a week on Cub activities is urged to become a Den Mother. like the Brownies, the meet once a week for one hour after school is out. Further information on Cub Seout'ng can be obtained from Mrs. Forrest Dailey, 8-2082, or Mrs. Weston La- Barre, 8-2476. • Men who were Boy Scouts and j would be interested in helping with j a Boy Scout troop may call Mr. Roscoe Stevens, 8-8101, for in formation. Boy Scout troops ill this area meet at the Asbury Meth- j odist Church, Trinity Methodist Churefe and the Scout Hut oh Guess Road. .— —— j 1 i { "% ; ff; . * *? Phillip L.

How eternilly fitting that the very word means "the light of dawn," the possibility of a fresh start, a new beginning, which all the world's evil cannot darken or entomb. At Easter, therefore, look to ward the dawn of NEW HOPE. Following the way of the risen Christ there is new hope for this life and for the life to come, for He "brought life and immortality to light through the gospel." Jesus did not create in man the hope of eternity—every springtime creates it. Every budding leaf and unfold ing blossom creates hope for new life in our hearts. Every wrong that goes unrighted, every right that goes unrecognized cries out for Golden Age Group Meets The Golden Age group in West Durham met at Erwin Auditorium on February 24. The members en joyed weaving pot holders, singing and dancing, Mrs. C. L. Read played .the piano for group singing. Mr. Luther Canned* and Mr. Ralph Carring ton led the dancing and Mr. Nor wood Tew called the figures. Re freshments consisting of cookies and apple eider were served by Mrs. W. D. Bo wen, Mrs. Ralph Carrington and Miss Victoria Law rence. Golden Age members who at; tended the ranting were Horatio Harvey, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Wat son, John L. Thagard, Sr., Walter Yates, Mrs. T. G. Rollins, Mrs. J. H. Tilley, Mrs. J. H. Hieks, Mra. Minnie High, Mrs. Annie Brown, Mrs. Draaella Harvey, Mrs. A. L. Murry, Mrs. Bettie Pearee and Mrs. Elisabeth Durham. a fairer life to be. No, Jens did not ovate the hope of immortality. Bather, the dawn of Easter pro claims that He fulfilled it! The resurrection of Christ asserted God's power over sin and time, twin forces against which man is power less. Thus, this Christ becomes for as a new dawn of hope! And where HOPE dawns, COUR AGE rises, and a new FAITH lightens the darkest life. For we have no dead prophet. We have a living God, a risen Lord whose voice no tomb of evil can still. He speaks: "Be strong . . . fear not" And with the sound, new strength we have indeed. In the face of our own death, new courage dawns: "0 death, where is thy sting T 0 grave, where is thy victory? I am the Resur rection and the Life. He that be lieveth on me shall never die." In the dark of temptation, the light of a new will-power is oars: "I ran do all things through Christ that strengtheneth me. Ahide in me and I in yon, so shall ye bear much fruit." In the gloom of anxiety, an en lightening faith breaks through: "Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God, believe also in me." In the shadow of loneliness, a morning star appears: "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. I will never leave you nor forsake you." The Easter message challenges us, therefore, to look toward the dawn, for there rises the sun of new hope, new courage, new devo tion. This Easter message was contrib uted to the CHATTER by the Rev. Mr. William Crompton Bennett, Trinity Ave. Presbyterian Church.
