DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21,1923.

! ■BOY• SCOUTS I * (Conducted by Nat’onal Council of the Boy Scout* of America.) NEAR EAST WANTS SCOUTING The Near East relief after a number of experiment* has decided tlie boy scout program of high ideals, constructive work and wholesome play is the best means of restoring morale, health and alm in life to the boys of that far-away land who have suffered such cruel effects of the World war. The American committee has turned to the Boy Scouts of America for assistance in securing trained leaders to carry on scouting in Armenia and the surrounding territory. In Armenia there are at present 5,000 scouts, ■ and three times that many hoys eagerly awaiting leadership. The largest orphanage in the world nt Alexandropol in the Caucasus, earing for 17,000 children, is another example of the vast field the Near East offers the worker in child welfare. By Its present program the committee cares fully for 64,107 Armenian and • other orphans, and feeds 50,000 more. - There are thousands for whom nothing Is done. Food, shelter and clothing are the major items of expense and of need. But the main objective is to Instill into these boys and girls hope, faith and ideals that will develop moral and spiritual leadership for the coming years. This tan be accomplished through a well-planned program of study, work and play, and thus scouting can play so important a part. The brotherhood of tlie scout movement has been strongly demonstrated by the good turns of American members for their afflicted friends In the Near East. In scores of cities and towns our scouts have achieved noble records in donations of money, oftentimes earned through their own efforts, in the collecting of clothing for the refugees and in the preparing of bundles for shipment. At the time of the recent induction into scouting of Governor Davis of Kansas, a big piece of work for the Near East was in progress. Standing on the state-house steps, the governor made the great scout promises and was installed as an “honorary tenderfont." A bodyguard of scouts saluted the distinguished new member, and then promptly set hint to work sacking old clothes. Before the day closed the bundles amounted to a carload. SCOUT MAKES BRAVE RESCUE Five weeks a scout and then a hero Is the record of Albert Bentley of the American Legion scout troop, Battle ('reek, Mich. Scout Bentley and eleven-year-old Mark Knisley were on the ice of , Battle creek, about fifteen feet from shore, when the ice gave way and both hoys slipped through into water eight feet deep. Although the lads were good swimmers they were handicapped by their heavy boots and clothing and could make little progress in pulling themselves up. The scout finally struck a solid place in the ice, climbed up and was starting for the shore when he saw that his companion was still in the water and crying for assistance. Bentley, shivering from his icy bath and braving the cold wind that stiffened ids drenched clothes, hastened back | over the treacherous ice and dragged | the smaller boy to safety. The scout, when asked about the I affair, related it in a matter-of-fact. I brief way, devoid of any thrills. De- | spite this modest account, the heroic ! act of the boy will be brought to the attention of the local court of honor. BOY SCOUTS’ VETERAN FLAG Boy scout troops that for five years or more have been in continuous registered existence, naturally take considerable pride in their classification ns veteran troops. The special veteran troop flag now available for these groups is identical with the familiar red and white troop flag with the green and gold Boy Scouts of America emblem in the center, but in addition the veteran standard displays in the lower left-hand corner (toward the staff) the veteran scout Insignia, appearing in gold upon a diamond-shaped field of blue muslin. “A SCOUT IS CHEERFUL" A good turn that required real scout philosophy to bring it to a successful conclusion was the following performed by a twelve-year-old member of Milwaukee: “Bead to my grandfather for an hour and a half from a book that I didn’t understand.’’ BOY SCOUTS AS FORESTERS Uncle Sam was the beneficiary of “good turn” by scouts of the Pikes Peak (Colo.) region, when a number of these lads co-operated with the government forestry department and planted 5,000 trees. A half a century ago tlie Indians are reputed to have ruthlessly started a fire in this section to drive out tlie game. Today come the Boy Scouts of America with their program of construction, aiding in repairing the destruction of the Red men, by planting where nature has failed to reforest.
