50 WINNETKA TALK December, 17, 1927 EE ------ Scout Council Shows Growth in First Year (Continued from Page 49) the effectiveness of their service is al- ready felt. Although they are volun- teers, they render service in the same spirit and degree as the Scout execu- tive or Field executive. Scoutmaster Round Table Discussions The Scoutmaster's is the most im- portant job in Scouting. Any note of praise that I might sound in behalf of and Assistants of the North Shore would fall far short of the genuine commendation they so richly deserve. Our Scout Leaders are a Consecrated, mature group of men, doing a remark- ably fine job of "Troop Engineering." Stressing Outdoor Activities Scouting is a program founded on the belief that Outdoor life has a great contribution to make in the unfolding of personality and the growth of character abilities. The importance of outdoor activities is so great that the Area Board has spent the fine work of devoted Scoutmasters [much time and thought in the pro- Black men...brown men ..yellow men UNDREDS of different kinds and grades of coffee from many distant vision through the Forest Preserve Board of Cook County, of the "Cabin in the Woods." Arrangements were also made for more than 100 North Shore Scouts to attend camps of other Scout councils, the largest group at- tending Camp Checagua of the Chi- cago Council. The committee of camping and out- door activities, under the leadership of Charles A. Steele is now at work on plans for a permanent summer camp for our council. Organizing New Troops We have enjoyed a healthy growth Tune in every Thursday Weekly Radio Programs featuring noted singers, instrumentalists, orchestras from WJZ KYW ,WTMJ,WOC,WHO,WOW,WRHM, KSD, WDAF, KVOO,WBAP,KPRC,WJR,KDKA, WHAM,WBZ,WBZA,WSB,WSM,WMC,WHAS, WLW, WBAL, WRVA, WBT, WjAX. Tune in every Thursday, 8 03 P. M., Central Time, for the Maxwell House Coffee program "Good to the last drop" lands! Black men, brown men, yellow men toiling in the tropical fields of four conti- nents! Countless natural flavors! Yet no single one that has ever satisfied those men and women who most love to linger over their morning cup of coffee. It was a flavor no one had ever tasted that a southerner created years ago in the old South. Taste joined with taste. Coffee blended with coffee. Known to the South alone a few years ago, that special shade of richness in Max- well House has now swiftly made it by far the largest selling coffee in the country. An adventure awaits you and your family in that shade of difference--in the smooth full-bodied liquor of Maxwell House Coffee. MaxwerLL House CorFEE It is pleasing more people than any other coffee ever offered for sale ee in number of troops added during the last year. This extention work has largely been done by local churches approaching the council rather than through any particular atempt on our part to expand. Whenever a new troop is organized its permanance and ef- fectiveness in service to boy life is guaranteed both by the institution or- ganizing the troop and the five man troop committee or board of directors. Creating a Better Understanding Educational publicity, aimed to help the parents of Scouts, and the public in general, to better understand Scout- ing's aims and methods is furnished the newspapers of the area regularly. I.ocal papers have taken a very real interest in conveying to their readers the news of Scout progress. Frequent reports of our work have also been is- sued from time to time. A copy of a printed bulletin, "The Talk O' Th' Troops," is sent to each Scout monthly. Training Leaders The work of the committee on leadership personnel development has been outstanding. Two standard train- ing courses for the development and training of Scout leaders have been provided. The committee is com- posed of chairman W. R. Bimson; F. E. Clerk, Rev. Frank Fitt. Monthly conferences for the growth of Boy Leaders have been held. These have been good. Your executive is ever eager and ready to have suggestions as to how he and all those helping in North Shore Scouting can further the de- velopment of better boyhood. Your council is a co-operative affair. Your council is yourself and others. Con- fident that we are making progress yet ever questioning, "How can we bet- ter serve?" this report is, Respectfully submitted, Walter McPeek, Scout executive. Local Kentuckians Hear About Lincoln University The Rev. John L. Dixon of Whea- ton, Ill, who is directing the expan- sion program of Lincoln university in the Cumberland mountains of Ten- nessee, outlined the program proposed for immediate development to mem- bers of the Kentucky Society of Ev- anston and the north shore, Tuesday. It is Lincoln university to which the late Judge Gary left a gift of $50,000, he reminded, and with this the edu- cational work of various sorts and religious opportunities will be given through students or by radio in re- mote, inaccessible regions where il- literacy now prevails. The meeting Tuesday was held with Mrs. Anne Edwards Crain, 704 Michi- gan avenue. The assisting hostesses were Mrs. Edward Hart of Evanston and Mrs. John W. Leathers, Mrs. John A. Lee and Mrs. L. L. Funk of Chicago. Mrs. Norris Embry had the program in charge, and Mrs. Buffington engaged the speaker. _ Lucienne Lovendon Bose, harp solo- ist, who has played in French opera and in New Orleans and Boston, pro- vided a charming musical group, and a song group by Beatrice Stephany Timmis pleased equally.
