But, gesture, says Literary Digest, has a secondary significance that has arisen out of the insincerity of people. A mere gesture may be one of affectation or of shallow pretense, but such gestures are attributed chiefly to womeii, cand to ranting, canting politicians given to cheap ges~ tures which, although made to impress, generally end in revealing hypocrisy. jBttMttSSMniaMp* ...j* s Thirteen Presidents Soldiers Thirteen of our Presidents were soldiers: Washington, Monroe and Jackson in the Revolution; Jackson, W.

A*WA8HDf0T0N The first three days in Washington were spent in erecting our camp. It wa£>announced honors would be given for the best and neatest camps in each section, and am I proud to say Troop 21 took honors. The Scoutmaster of our troop was also presented with a beautiful Jamboree flag, in honor of the high rating of our troops Local Boy Scouts of Washington were trained to act as guides, lecturers, and orderlies as well as hosts. June 30 was the opening day of the Jamboree and the schedule for the day follows: > 7:00 a.m.--Reveille. V . 7:45 a. m.--Breakfast. 8:80 a. m,--Mt.

The following nine days were typical, only the sightseeing tours differed, as did so&e of the special ceremonies, such as Sunday services, the convocation at Washington Monument, exercises at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington, the Sea Scouts Regatta, Independence Day program, and I must say the District of Columbia fireworks display was a grand sight; then there was the trip to Annapolis, and, tours through the many beautiful buildings of our Capitol, and the parade for nation*! review and reception. We were Invited to visit the Pan- American building, the National Home pf the D. A.R., Red Cross, Corcoran Art Gallery, Dept. of * Interior, Munitions and Navy Buildings, National Academy of Sciences, and American Institute of Pharmacy; the White House, Central Heating Plant, Dept. of Agriculture and Washington Monument> which is the tallest structure there, and a symbol of our Jamboree, also the Bureau of Engraving and an(^ treasury Building Then there was the trip through the to every individual, and we aaw every important office in the department, with special interest features in tile finger print department; laboratories, where identification is made of hair, skin, metals, hand and typewriting,l Mr. and Mrs. G.

The "nickname" department was another interesting place, where many thousands of notorious nicknames are recorded, and last of all the, "Dead File, where all prints of fallen criminals are kept Here we saw the prints of public enemy No. 1--John Dillinger. •' ; . ^ Below the White House is the-Zero Milestone, the starting point for measuring all distances from Washington. The Mt. Vernon trip was made by boat down the Potomac River. A guide gave us a description of the historic scenes as we passed on to the capacity of the boat was 1,900 people, There is no end to the many interesting places we saw on these special tours, and I know they will long remain in the memories of us all. Each day we had rehearsals for arena displays and pagents, and our campftres at night were a Wonderful sight. We put in busy days, but days of pleasure, and I know not one of us will ever forget this wonderful opportunity given us--to spend two such happy weeks, making new friends and seeing new sights. Our section had the honor of entertaining at dinner Scoutmaster Carmona and Patrol Leader Petit of Venezuela, who walked 10,000 miles to attend the Jamboree, leaving Caracas Venezuela, Jan. 11, 1985. I had the pleasure of personally meeting these two Scouts and they gladly posed for a picture. We talked mostly sign language, as did most of the 400 foreign Scouts, but we managed to make ourselves understood after a fashion. We had our oWn Jamboree Journal, a sixteen "page paper, published for eleven dayas only, edited and managed ,by Scout journalists. Friday, July 9, our Jambotee came to a close, all too soon for^ us.
