WINNETKA TALK May 19, 1928 Nature Puts No Price On Her Generosity In May when we drive through the towns and villages of the North Shore, we exclaim, '"Isn't everything beautiful!" And of course what we are noticing is the contrast of the fresh green of growing trees, shrubbery and lawns. Nature gives her bounty without cost. We have but to properly place her greenery in your dooryards and she sends ever-new pleasures of beauty.

Scoutmasters' Key Issued A training course for Scout leaders extending over a period of five years will be entered upon next fall by the North shore Area council, which will make it possible for local leaders to work for a Scout Leaders' key which is comparable to the Eagle Scout badge earned by Scouts.

The following course will give leaders the principles of First Aid and other spe- cialized courses. The Scoutmasters' key is something new and being ac- cepted with great enthusiasm.
