March 24, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 500 PARENTS ATTEND ANNUAL SCOUT EXHIBIT Winnetka Scout Troops Stage Extensive Program of Contests and Demonstrations More than 500 parents were present at Community House last Thursday night when the Winnetka Boy Scouts held open house for visitors and pre- sented a program which included a dis- play of Scout handiwork and a demon- stration of practically every Scout ac- tivity. Each of the twenty patrols of the Winnetka troops prepared a booth in which either some merit badge or something that the Scouts had made was displayed. In addition each troop presented some "stunt" and the Scouts all participated in the various contests which were conducted. The Scout exhibition is an annual affair and staged under the direction of Chief J. W. F. Davies and the Scoutmasters of the various troops. The program was opened with the Scout ceremony, "To the Colors," in which the flag was raised and alleg- iance was pledged.

In the fire by friction contest which followed immediately, under the su- pervision of Bruce Thomas, Scout Reschse also took' first place and fol- lowed this victory by another in the contest in fire by flint and steel, direct- ed by Boyd Anderson.
