iQPip; Thursday, March 15,1934 **HE MCHENBY w^i. •'* Pag* Fit* _ IB W . Sc<(MUW A formal ceremony headed by Richard Vycital, presented George Hess, local scout committeeman, with his registration card. We certainly are glad to have you at our meetings, and repnember that you are always welycwne, . V' Butabout the meeting. Some elementary signs of the wig-wag code were signaled by most of the boys. Some of the boys were asked what a dot meant1 and they replied that it was an E. That is the correct answer; but don't get the idea there weren't any mistakes. But not withstanding the fact that it was the first time this year that they had practiced, their answers were more than good. > Of course games played an impc.rfant part in the meeting. The "wheelbarrow race" was the thriller of the evening. The following rules were observed. One fellow would take hold of another one's feet ari<t ptfsh him to 1 the ' next wall, the "wheelbarrow" ; touching his head against the wall, then exchanging places with the "pusher." The wheelbarrow must use his hands to keep going, so you can imagine by these rules what happened to the game. Two outfits played and the winner of each, played one another. And to add to all the enthusiasm, cheering stands for both sides "rocked" the building. Also, a dime was the stake for the .winners. After a win for each duet, the team of Kilday and G. Granger were presented a nice shiny dime for winning two out of-three of the races. In the "Corner Tooth" meeting a confidential plan was given to the Patrol Leader to be presented at their next meeting; so be present at the meeting because it may include you. Ill bet that none of , you can come , near the total number that were present at the Scout Hike, Saturday. The biggest turnout of the year of twentyfour happy, smiling boys tramped their way to good old Sherman's Hill. When the foot-worn "group got out there, they set to work. Some passed fire building, cooking, and scout pace. T think one or two passed all. The scoutmaster had a. few-games to be played, but the boys were so interested in their work and content to keep working that most of them didn't have time to play. After the gang passed tests, some went to Todd Seminary in Woodstock to swim. The Scoutmaster hopes that at the next hike there'll be at least thirty. My opinion is we've got a lot of loyal Scouts in .the troop to have such a turnout, ! »• HAROLD TAXMAN McHENRY LOSES 34-32 IN TWO EXTRA PERIODS McHenry's town basketball team was nosed out in an overtime game in the first round of the McHenry County Independent Basketball Tournament at St. Mary's gym, Woodstock. Crystal Lake, twice winner over McHenry in the season's schedule, was the victor, the score being 34-32 The game was close throughout with ea n team matctung their opponents basket for basket McCracben stood out for McHenry and kept them in the running time a,nd again with his eagle eye. The other two games on the program were also close, Harvard barely managing to keep ahead of the Richmond Bronchos to get the decision, while Cary had quite a struggle getting the best of the Huntley Alumni.

The metal used in the construction Is an alloy of aluminum and copper, and in weight Is only a little more than half that of the steel from which many of the modern Pullman cars are built. Well -- what of it? The achievement doubtless marks an important advance In the field of i engineering, but who wants to travel at the rate of a hundred and ten miles an hour? Under certain circumstances such speed may be of Importance, as when a surgeon is hastening to .an operation or a person is endeavoring to reach the deathbed of • dear one. For all practical purposes, however, this accelerated speed in travel seems not only useless but a positive detriment • ,, About three years ago, we were all traveling along at a mighty fast pace, not only in railway and automobile transportation, but in every other conceivable activity. Speed is like the elasticity in a rubber hand. You can stretch it so far and then it snaps. Something did snap in our industrial and social system. One of Its major causes was the speed with which we were manufacturing goods, makine money and trying to find the ultimate* pleasure in living. II. G, Wells argues that the "present civilization consists of children playing in a nursery with poison razor blades." We boast of our seientific achievements but forget that such achievements do not necessarily mean progress. „ On the contrary, they may mean the destruction of civilization. If traveling at the rate of a hundred and ten miles an hour will aid In making permanent the moral and spiritual element in our civilization, all well and good. But Is speed, fcowever expressed, inherently capfrbha of producing that effect? j Never was It mc?re imp^tpjot than at the present moment that we recover the soul of our country, indeed of the world, If civilization Is to endnre. • by Western Newspaper Unto*.
