Thursday, October 30, 1930 Last Friday at the dedication of the Public Library in Highland Park I saw a fine example of scouting preâ€" paredness that I want to pass on to cther scoutmasters. Troop 32, Highland Park, A. D. Brush, scoutmaster, recently equipped itself with scout staffs and have been training themselves in their use. They were stationed last Friday to hold a crowd of over a thousand people. By placing themselves six feet apart and grouping the ends of their staffs a barrier was formed that held the crowd in place where it would have been impossible otherwise to have kept them back. WILME TTE BRAESIDE ‘ KENILWORTH RAVINIA INDIAN HILL _ HIGHLANDPARK WINNETKA HIGHWOOD HUBBARDWOODS * EVERETT GLENCOE LAKEFOREST In England the scout staff is used quite extensively and as we learn of its advantages, I predict we will use it in an increasing measure. TROOP AWAITS REVIEW BOARD The troop 71 Scout meeting Friday evening, Oct. 24 was held at the home of our scoutmaster, â€" Hobert Swan. When he lined up the test that the boys have been on, he found that the prospect for the Board of Review was good. There were about fifteen presâ€" ent and the whole Eagle Patrol was there to add to the good time that was had by all. ‘There will be no meeting next Friâ€" day evening on account of Halloâ€" we‘en.â€"Herbert C.

We hope there will be a crowd that night, and all of you will support the wcouts by coming. Come one, come all!â€"George _ Anderson, troop â€" 61, Northbrook Civic association. Walter L. Kiplinger, regional scout executive of Region Seven comprising the states of Michigan, Indiana, Illiâ€" nois and Wisconsin, has requested Myron C. Rybolt, scout executive of the North Shore Area council, to serve as chairman of a committee to draft a program and conduct a three day seminar for the scout executives cf the region, to be held on March 17, 18, and 19 at the Edgewater Beach hotel in Chicago. Four other executives, one from cach state of the region will serve on the committee. The theme of the enâ€" tire Seminar will be the "why of camping," analyzing everything that enters into the daily camp program, «ind weighing its comparative value in the development of the scouts. The scouting movement is aggressively! and constantly checking everything it does to determine what is best and most influential in its entire characâ€" terâ€"influencing and citizenship trainâ€" ing program, and this conférence is expected to show important trends in that direction and develop further valuable technique for use in the Boy ‘Scout camps of the region. TO "HITCH® OR NoT TO "HITCH" A great deal of discussion is in proâ€" gress over "hitchâ€"hiking" and "spongâ€" ing" en tour. You notice many comâ€" mercial cars> with a caption "No riders" thereon. Giving a boy or man a "lift" in former days was a real favor, so considered. No one thought of trying to sponge his way long disâ€" tances, and when a pedestrian was met on the road it was understood that he was willing to walk where he wanted to go. If he wasn‘t willing to walk where he wanted to go, or provide his own transportation he reâ€" mained home where he belonged. Today, considerable numbers of persons roam the country, getting free rides, and this breeds the same attitude of mind and conduct as the hoebo stealing rides on freight trains or "riding blind" on a passenger train. * The ninth Scout law says "so that he may pay his own way be generâ€" ous to those in need," etc. The scout should not be guilty of intentionally starting out on a trip of exploration, fun or travel, whereby he plans to ride at the expense of others unless invited to do so. In other words, "hitchâ€"hiking" is only another word for "sponging" and is unâ€"scoutlike. Pny' yoiir ;vay, scouts. There are too many "spongers" in America now.
