BOY SCOUT NEWS Scouts, we were really proud of you last Sunday evening at the Special Service held at Rosemary Methodist Church. All troops and dens were represented with large attendances. You were well be haved, attentive, and lived fully up to the direction of the Twelfth Scout Law. Regular Church and Sunday School attendance are in tegral parts of a Scout’s Life; so, let’s keep it up. To the Reverend Fields and his congregation: our sincere appreciation for your in vitation and interest in our pro gress. Scoutmasters and other Scouters present included W. H. Mincher of Troop 144, L. B. Brown of Troop 146, Tommy Jenkins of Troop 145, Rudolph Waters of Troop 142, Gradie Wheeler of Troop 143, Howard Pruden, Na tional Committeeman and Member of the District and Executive Board, and H. L. Schaaf, Cubbing , Commissioner. —o— This evening representatives of all Roanoke Rapids Troops will be guests of the Lion’s Club, meeting at the First Baptist Church. These 1 young men will give a number of demonstrations of various Scout ing skills and activities which, we honestly believe, will be enjoyed and appreciated by members of the Club. Watch out for the day and date of the biggest Scrap Metal Drive ever held in Roanoke Rapids. Lo cal troops are already lining up their sights, locating metal, and otherwise getting ready to get in there and pitch for Uncle Sam in a big way. And don’t overlook the Cubs in this drive either. They’re likely to prove a big factor in its success. —o— The way Reece Welsh is taking hold of Pack 3 is a joy to behold. Reece has four active Dens to supervise and keep moving at full speed. They’re really moving, too. —o— Due to the rigors of Wartime activity, the message of our Hon orary President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, will be broadcast and published throughout America this year as usual. In normal times President Roosevelt personally ad dresses his “fellow Scouts and Scouters” during Boy Scout Week. Owing to the war-time demands on his time he has sent his per sonal message to be read and dis tributed this year through the Na tion’s newspapers and radio facil ities. Camping Chairman Don Tillar was out at the District Camp site again this past Saturday, hard at work on a Spring that will assure plenty of pure, cold drinking wa ter. You Scouts are going to have to give Don the biggest cheer ev er when the site is opened up. Let’s see every Troop turn out 100% for the Father and Son Get together Friday night. Remember the Quarterly Court of Honor is to be a part of the event, and your Advancement Cards are al ready on hand, ready for distri bution. And, don’t forget what Mr. Crumpler told you at the last Board of Review. The Camporee this year will be on a district rather than Council basis. It isn’t too early to start now getting your Patrol in readi ness for the various events. It I isn’t going to be so easy to get a Blue Ribbon this year. Put plenty of stress on Signalling, First Aid, Rope Work and Camping Skills. As soon as Troop 142 finishes up 1 that First Aid Course, Scouts are planning to get into high gear on that lively new Air Scout program. Boy, oh boy, what a program! And what a uniform! ► Don't forget, fellows, let’s “TOUGHEN UP, BUCKLE p>OWN New Schedule On Hawkins Chapel Church Services The preaching services which have been held at Tabor for Haw kins Chapel will be changed back to that community, but held Sat urday at the little dwelling house on Willie Green’s farm.
