A more recent Scouting devel-i opment here has been the forma-! tion of Cub Packs for youngsters below Boy Scout age. Three Cub Packs lists 33 Cubs, six den mo thers and 26 Cub Pack committ eemen. Kings Mountain operates as a separate Scout district within the Piedmont Council and holds Court of Honor, when Scouts qualify for advancements in rank and merit badge awards, during the winter months. Sum mer Courts of Honor are held at the council camp, built at Lake Lanier, near Tryon. Other Kings Mountain Scout troops are: Troop 5, sponsored by Temple Baptist church, Wes Kiser, Scout master. Troop 8, sponsored by Grace Methodist church, Robert Shaney Scoutmaster. Troop 9. sponsored by Resur rection Lutheran church, Sher man Perry, Scoutmaster, and Bob Hall, assistant. Troop 92, sponsored by 'first Wesleyan Methdist church. Rev. J. W. Phillips, acting Scoutmas ter. Troop 96, sponsored by East side Baptist church. The Boy Scout movement came to the United States from Eng land, result of a Chicago publish er’s being lost in the London fog, while on a visit. A lad helped him find his way, declined the protier of a tip, and said he was a Boy Scout and that a Scout never accepted anything for be ing helpful. Thit Piedmont Area Council, with headquarters in Gastonia,’ has had only two Scout Execu tives. The first was R. M. Schiele, on retirement succeeded by the o esent executive, Eugene J Jo nes. Flu Incidence Is Decreasing Influenza, raging here for the past month, seemed definitely and conclusively waning this week. Druggists said orders for "flu treatment*’ prescriptions have dropped heavily and Schools Superintendent B. N. Barnes said attendance this week was only three percent below normal, i compared to a 15 percent abnor mal figure during the peak of. the epidemic two weeks ago. National Guard Set For Alert Kings Mountain's National Guard Unit —- along with all 136 units of the North Carolina Na tional Guard — will participate in ‘^Operation Hornet's Nest," a test alert, this month. Capt Humes Houston, of the local unit, said the alert is being held in conjunction with Muster Day activities observed each year during February and participated m by Army and Air National Guard units throughout the Unit ed States. Muster Day is observ ed each year during the week of Washington’s birthday to honor this country’s founder of the mil itary concept. “For the test alert to be a true test of readiness for all units, the only advance information furnished Guard commanders is that the alert will take place sometime between February 10 25", Capt- Houston pointed out. He noted that only Governor Hodges and Adjutant General Oa pus Waynick will know the exact time and date. When the alert is sounded, it will set in motion the machinery that will bring about the biggest test mobilization in this state since World War II. “Operation Hornets’ Nest” will incorporate a mythical situation in which an "aggressor” nation has broken relations with the United States -and has begun “aggressive” operations to in clude secret landings, along the eastern coast of the United Sta tes. Capt. Houston pointed out! Guard unis will move to prear-' ranged destinations in compliance' with their existing regulations, j Kings Mountain’s Company D,! 105th Engineers Battalion, have1 their “Objectives” assigned and! will move out to secure them up-! on receipt of the “alert” order. i Sgt. Charles Wilson noted that the vital installations tc the com munity include: Communications (radio and telephone); water sys tem, bridge network on the evac uation route and business area to prevent looting in case of e mergency “This is being done,” Capt. Houston continued, “in order that the test alert will come as a sur prise and really test the speed and time it will take the Guard to assemble its men, issue equip ment, and move out. The only reason the month in which the alert is to be held is released is to give ample time to acquaint the citizens of North Carolina with the mobilization and to pre vent undue alarm.” The plan calls for each unit to have a local Objective .to oc cupy and secure. Citizens should not be alarmed when armed Guardsmen, trucks, and heavy Army equipment are seen rushing to objective areas in the commu nity. sasasr will bnL^astth** ARiP chur«h **P ^ming Wor WMMT dS^L*S® Station ruary. s "wnth of Feb dmTl ^^ivasnarVlounced *>y -vressiy, pastor, are; In Hi^’ Februaty 14. “Abiding Sunday, February 21- «v> mining With Him ” ”' *= -Swta, wort?T"™M •» «£L5K'.K,u& l***™ and Chan«d oh,3r Y^uth Ch°ir Oon of E 9h^r-under dire* Mrs. N.
