€DOY£ SCOUTS (Conducted by National Council of tha Bor Mcouta of Amorlqi ) MOTHERS AID SCOUT SOUS “Mother,” whose commendatloß enuuts for the most and wjiose approval is hardest to win in mutters pertabling to the welfare of her boy, Is more and more showing herself "heart and soul” with scouting, us attested by the growing number of scout mothers’ clubs and auxiliaries. "Faith, love and protection of our boys," is the motto of the Topeka (Kan.) Scout Mothers’ club; its purpose, “To assist the scoutmaster In any possible way In advancing the cause and to learn In our association together, more of our responsibilities as mothers of scouts." In Portsmouth, Va., members of the Scouts" Mothers’ club wear bows of ribbon in accordance with the rating of their boys. This club aims to keep the meaning of tlie scout cath and law before the community, to maintain a feeling of comradeship between mother and son. to co-operate with the scout leaders in their work, and to put before new residents the advantage of having their boys join the scout movement. "We are very proud of our Scout Mothers’ clulj and think it would be splendid for every troop to have one,” advocates a Buffalo scoutmaster. From Philadelphia comes the statement: “Mothers' auxiliaries formed in a number of our troops seem to be filling a real need.” The miniatve pin for women associates is popular in Montclair, N. J., “and worn by worthwhile women, certainly carries a worth-while message,” comments a local scout official. In a number of other communities well-organized clubs with cnnaUtutions nnd by-laws exist and 4U> a splendid work. "The supreme compliment to scouting.” says a woman observer, “Is the mother's praise and assistance.” HONOR UNKNOWN SOLDIERS — RB3WL • KglfiFJKl 7 v Iff l-iM iai i , ■ — ' Eagle Scout Conrad Strayer of Troop 39 of York, Pa., at the tomb of the unknown soldier, Arlington cemetery, upon the occasion of the fourth educational tour of the boy scouts of York. A BOY SCOUT HERO The great moment in a scout’s life when his preparedness can be the men its of saving a human life, came to First-Class Scout Ceril Smith Birch of Troop 9, Texarkana. Texas, under circumstances requiring resourcefulness and courage to a high degree. Birch, who is suffering with tuberculosis of the bone*of the lower leg, was walking slowly towards home after school when he was attracted by a sudden scream from a tree nearby, and saw there a small boy caught high up in the branches and hanging to an electric wire. The erippled boy climbed to the top of the tree within a few inches of the menacing current. On account of the heavy voltage he did not touch the child's body with his hands until after he had freed him from the wire. This Birch managed to do by taking off his vest which hud large armholes in ft, throwing it over one of the child’s legs nnd then jerking him from the wire. The scout caught tlie little fellow In one arm, then brought him down from the tree and carried him to his home. There he administered first-aid treatment pending tho arrival of the doctor. “CIVIC HIKE” FOR BCOUT6 A number of boy scout councils make use of a “know-yeur-city" series of hikes t» strengthen civic pride and interest. Milwaukee, Wig.; Newark. N. J.: Seattle, Wash.; Washington, D. 6.. Hfi'l Stamford, Conn., are among those councils sponsoring trips to various points of industrial and histories! Interest.
