As in other years, we are requested to wear our uniforms. This year especially, people are heartened to see a Boy Scout uniform because they have read so much about them in papers that they know how valuable thev are in their particular places. If you do not own a uniform, borrow one from someone. I know a person whose uniform is too small and would be glad to let another Scout wear it. If you cant get a uniform, wear the badge of your highest rank. Re sure to wear your uniform next Monday night at the Court of Honor. This will be at thp Leirion hall. Remember your responeibiftiy. Scouts!! We were glad to h^ar from the Scoutmaster that so far we have taken in $7.11 from th*> waste naper around town. There will be some more collected this wek. Hie total weight was 1.580 pounds.

LONDON.--Details of the arma-, ment, performance and equipment! of Britain's Beau fighters have just j been released. It is a large machine-- with a range of 1,500 miles-- j and it has four cannons and six ma- j chine guns to make it the most pow-1 erful armed fighting plane in thej world. j The Beaus have been in use here j against German night raiders and | also in the Middle East for daylight i operations, yet nothing has been j said until now as to what makes. these planes the pride of the royal j air force. Just about all that was known about them appeared in communiques where it was most often reported that opposing Nazi aircraft had been blown to bits in mid-air after a couple of bursts of fire. The Beau fighter is all all-metal, its weight is 21,000 pounds loaded while the nominal top speed is 390 miles an-hour at 14,000 feet. The cannons are 20- millimeter Hispano-Suiza guns and the machine guns are Brownings. Doubt was expressed at first whether or not such a weight of armament could be carried by a lighten, without sacrifice of maneuverability. Three Beau fighters gave a demonstration at a factory airport to show that they could take off on a short run, climb fast and carry out aerobatics, including diving, slow rolls and tight turns. The Beau fighters posses* unusually complete equipment. They have navigation, identification and formation flying lamps; landing flares, oxygen apparatus, a motion-picttire camera mounting, fire extinguishers, first aid outfits and an axe. Emergency rations are stowed aboard. Dog Britifh Deported Win Prize in Canada TORONTO. --- Note to British military authorities: \ Remember the tough little airedale named Corky that some central Ontario soldiers smuggled into England in a machine-gun crate and was ordered home? Well, Corky took best of breed prize at the Canadian National Exhibition Dog show. * Cop Leg Beats Loss of , Back on Job Fellow Policemen Help Him Study lor Radio Po«| New Ffcbrfc# Free Army, Navy From Need of Silk WASHINGTON. - The army, ! threatened with a shortage of silk for artillery powder bags, reported that it had developed a cotton substitute acceptable for most purposes. At the same time, the navy disclosed that it had developed a synthetic silk substitute, details of which were withheld, and also had laid in its own stockpile of silk for use in its powder bags and parachutes. Fabric bags are used in guns to hold the powder charge. Unless the material burns out completely with the discharge of the gun, a smoldering fragment of cloth in the breech may result in premature explosion of the next charge. The synthetic fiber developed by the navy fills this requirement and may be used also in parachute manufacture, it was said. Even before the Office of Production Management forbade silk processing by mills throughout the country to conserve the supply for military use, the navy reported it had enough silk on hpnd for current needs, and was prepared to turn out the synthetic whenever need might arise. The recent government order "freezing" silk supplies for army and navy use assures enough raw silk to supply military needs for two years, it was estimated. CHICAGO.--A pair of crutches nearby, his left leg amputated just below the knee, Policeman Walter E. Gray, 40, off River Forest, is back at work. No longer will the husky, handsome policeman walk beat or drive one of the suburb's police cars. He has started a new job--desk sergeant and radio operator at the River Forest station. Shortly before midnight April 3, 1940, Gray left his home in the suburb to report for duty. He entered his automobile parked in front of the home and stepped on the starter. The starter set off a dynamite bomb that almost blew the car apart. The blast, which was heard for three miles, hurled part of the hood 60 feet to the sill of a window on the policeman's home, where it lodged. Gray was rushed to the Oak Park hospital, where his leg was amputated. Both his legs and his face were severely burned. Police of Chicago and River Forest began an intensive investigation. Gray was not known to have any personal enemies, so a thorough search of his police records was made, every man he had ever arrested and questioned, scores of suspects were grilled. But no motive for the crime or clues have yet been found. Gray returned to work with a federal radio operator's license. He studied and qualified for the post, with the aid of fellow policemen and his wife, Helen, while convalescing. cThe Grays have one child, Shirley, 13. -- Palace --- Foreatara ...

JfctfNESS i ie fed NEWARK, J.--The Morris Velotti- family showed the neighbors how to combine thrills and simple dignity in a domestic quarrel. Sensing the quarrel coming on, the parents sent their 13-year-old Joseph out to wheel his baby brother, Michael, 14 months, in his carriage, because it wasn't nice to make a scene in front of them. S On the sidewalk, Joseph pushed: a while, then lifted Michael out and let him walk a few paces. At that point there was 8 scream, and looking up, Joseph saw his mother, Mrs. Santa Velotti, 32, falling (rom a window of their third floor apartment. The boy held out his arms and braced himself to catch his mother. He missed her and she landed in the empty carriage. She climbed out, apparently unhurt, and walked away. Unnoticed by the mother, the carriage had lurched when she struck it and knocked Joseph down, bruising his knee,. Neighbors called a doctor and police. The doctor treated Joseph's knee and the police questioned Joseph's father, who said his wife had jumped from the Window* during their quarrel. The police were just starting to hunt for Mrs. Velotti when she came* home. She said she had been to the doctor's to get her bruised knees and forehead treated, and that she had fallen, not jumped, from the window. Police said the case was rlosifl.

One of the many incidents it cited was the case of Evtukhov, a train repair man. He noticed that one axle bearing was overheating. "In otder to fix it he would have had to stop the train, disrupt the schedule on that whole section of the road and delay the delivery of important cargo," the bureau reported. "Evtukhov tied himself with a belt and wire to the side of the car and, at the risk of his life, removed the cause of the overheating while the train was in motion. The train arrived at its destination on time." Rubber Footwear We are fortunate to reoeive a large fhipmett of Rubber Footwear tbat we did not expect. We have practically all styles andf sixes.
