Thursday, Sept. 4, 1930 Wimtehtendienk W. w. The Wimachtendienk W. W., better known in camp as the Order of the Arrow, was originated in 1915 at the Treasure Island camp. Philadelphia, by E. Urner Goodman, now Scout ex- ecutive of Chicago. Its purpose was to recognize that boy or those boys who had displayed unusual or unsel- fish service. to his fellow campers while at camp. It is based entirely upon the Scout Oath and Law and‘ upon the Scout's attitude toward it/ Members are chosen by the campers. themselves so that the order niern-) hers have nothing to do with their' new candidates. On the second Tiles. day of each camp period the candi- dates are chosen by secret ballot and are “called out" in an impressive In. dian ceremony in the evening. The candidates from that time on for uventydour hours are tested to prove their right to be chosen as members. Each one is sent into the night to. some place where he will be alone. Here he must consecrate for one hour before a small fire whereafter putting it out_and sleeping for the rest of the night, When he returns to camp he eats frugally for the day while doing arduous and irksome tasks, all the time keeping absolute silence. The night following the ordeal the suc- ccssful candidates are "put through" the first degree initiation. All the ritual and the tongue of the Order is based upon the Lenni Lenape of the Delaware Indians.

Say, Bob, by the wny, Mr. Rybolt told us that very Ioon the pie. tures would be Ivniluble for showing at the various troops. The movies, a projector and an operator will be sent out to any troop upon request. I'm going to tell our Scoutmulter to get his bid in right away so that our troop can see them.

Sen Scout Leader Sells Winning Yaeht In Condo Cup Run A new page of adventure and ro- mance was added to the history of Sea Scouting in America when the American yacht "Thisbe" of Roches- ter, N. Y., skippered by William P. Barrows, president of the Rochester Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America and I member of the Re. gional Sea Scout committee for the states of New York and New Jersey, won the close contest for the Canndu's Cup from the eight meter sloop "Quest" of the Royal Cunndilm chht Club of Toronto. The race w“ run on Lake Ontario end the America boat won three out of five rues. The Canada‘s Cup races, regarded as the third most important of the sailing races in which American ships participate, were started in 1896. In 1907 when the Rochester-built ship "Seneea," designed and built by Her- rvshofr of Bristol and skippered by Addison G. Hanan, won the series in three straight starts, it nearly ended the friendly competitions. The Am- Miran boat was built to beat the new measurement rules then efteetive, and did. Toronto challenged again for the cup in 1908 and 1909 but insisted that the “Seneca" be ineligible and as a result the racing classic was discon- tinued until this year. This yen three bolts took part in the trial at elch of the competing clubs. Members of the Royal Cuna- dian Yacht club formed .
