KENDALLVILLE FOLLOWS LIGONIER IN HESITATION TO TAKE ' ON EXPENSE : Four County Plan to Ferm Couneil Area Temporarily Held Up in Two Noble County Cities : * Unless some .organization -such as the Elks, American Legion or Rotary Club sponsors the movement, it appears that#for the time being at least there will fJe no Boy Scout Council in Kendallville, While there seems to be considerable sentiment toward such a movement in the city the big hitch is the question of finances. This infomation was divulged at a meeting of representative citizens helg at (the Elks club Tuesday evening called by Clifton G. Speer deputy regional executive of South Bend. Mr. Speer has been in this community for the past few weeks in the interest of the movement with hopes _ol' establishing a Boy Scout council in Noble La(}ravnge Steuben and DeKalb counties., The plan was to have about thirty cities and towns represented in this area. In a number of the nearby towns Boy Scout organizations are now functioning, The plan was to make Kendallville the sectional head- | quarters in the event Scouting was e.fi—l tablished here. , l The cost of having such an organization in this city ‘woud aggregate $1,500 and about $7,000- in the four counties. The budget called for $3OOO as the annual salary to the Scout executive, office expenses and salary of clerk $1,105 rallies and demonstration $2OO camping $l,OOO in additions td other expenses. The lowest estimate of the budget for the year in the four counties was $5,500. The tentative plan was to have 120 boys of Kendallville affiliate with the organization making six troops in all. At present there are 776,000 Boy Scouts in America. The program, which is somewhat different than the “Y’ work tends to occupy the idle mo-! ments of the boys in a way that will help to build up bettér citizenship. Ligonier decided against the pro-. posal at a meeting last Tuesday§ evening in city hall. |

Brock of Jefferson township Whitley county paid his taxes to County Treasurer Herbert L. Ihrig, Thursday and used a bright shiny $2O gold piece along with some bills to meet the payment. There is quite a history connected with the gold piecc according to Mr. Brock. Many years ago when they held fairs at Laud, Jacob H. Ihrig father of the presenfl county treasurer was secretary of thel Laud Fair association. The $2O gold ! piece was received by Jacob Ihrig,i and* he made the remark that he wished that he could trade it for bills. Mr, Brock immediately accommodated him and had saved the piece for al Ithe years since that time. On the face of the coin in beautiful script engraving is the name “Hattie Black’’ and a little distance from that is the date Jan. 15 1879. Mr. Brock has no idea who Hattie Black may have been but it is probable that she caused the name and date to be engraved hoping that some day the coin might cir-1 culate around and again come into her possession. Mr. Brock hated to part with it but he said that the way of the farmer is hard these days and he wag forced to use the coin to pay his taxes. : Indiana State Normal.
