Mills, director of swimming 1 and water safety of the Boy Scouts I of America. This is an increase of 1 some 200 over the number who learn- l ed to swim at scout comps in 1929, i and establishes a new record. Mr. Mills ls the originator of the 1 "Buddy System" the use of which greatly increased during the year. It provides that nobody in a Boy Scout lump may go swimming except " stated periods and then only with an- other boy designated as his buddy who must be constantly with him on land or in water. A check-up is made during swimming periods and when the director's whistle blows, unless each boy is with his buddy, his swim- mine privileges are revoked. All Boy Scouts are'given a cnreful physical test before being accepted in a Boy Scout camp and hence. the likelihood of woter accidents is lessened. very direction, accessible Sea Scout Sch90ner .18 nature study, srncginky Insured Against Pirgtey; . . . ven- 1.bu,.ildi15: 'll".',,," Fish Hazards are Enumerated THE PREIS The insurance policy covering the " Schooner Albatross, North- Shore Area Council Sea Scout training ship, C takes us back through the days of America's glorious sea history.
