(3, fam ir AA A At November 17, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 29 SCOUT NEWS Town Committees Busy Pushing Big Budget Campaign In each of the north shore towns, a committee of men is swinging into action in raising funds to carry on the work of the North Shore council. The campaign in Kenilworth is under the generalship of Harry Harrison; in Winnetka the campaign is being headed by Harold Hill; in Glencoe by Harry Stannard; in High- land Park by M. J. Traub; in Lake For- est by C. G. Gunn; in Highwood by Raymond Roth; in Glenview by Paul 3eda ; in Northbrook by Leland Olds, and in Deerfield by Charles Kapschull. The plan is to complete the campaign as nearly as possible by December 1. This will require the heartiest co-operation by the public. Troop 37 Has Busy Times Welcomes New Scoutmaster Thursday, November 1, Troop 37 of Highwood had its regular Scout meeting. Many new Scouts joined the troop and the tenderfoot scouts passed most of their second class tests. They did not pass their tests on signaling and first-aid. ---Scout August Baracant, Troop 37 Troop 37 of Highwood has a new Scout- master for the year 1928-1929. Mr. Thomas, the Scoutmaster for the troop last year, was the Oak Terrace school principal and did not have the time to give to the Scouts, such as to go on hikes, etc. The troop's new Scoutmaster, Mr. Lauridsen, has planned many things for the Scouts. Some of them are hikes, tar- get practice at Ft. Sheridan and to swim at the Deerfield-Shields High school. --Scout Ashurst, Troop 37 PLAN CAMP TRIP The members of Troop 31 have been getting new boys for Scouts. There have been three and there are several more waiting, which will bring the total up to twelve. The troop was visited by Mr. Miller, the director of Camp Checaugau, and there were two other men with him, Scoutmaster Bob Anspach's father and Scoutmaster Townley of Troop 13. Later on our troop and Troop 13 are going out to the Cabin-in-the-Woods for a good time together.--Hamilton Herman. LIKE SCOUTMASTER Troop 1 has a new Scoutmaster, Mr. Anderson, and all the boys like him. He is a brother-in-law of Mr. Leach. He said we are going to have a good troop this year. There are twenty boys in our troop and we have three patrols. Patrol leaders are Ned Shapker, John Phyleigh and Norbert McDaniel. We have ten tenderfoot scouts and one first-class, John Playheigh. The troop meets Wednesdays at 7:30 at St. Augustines' church, Wil- mette.--Norbert McDaniel, Wolf Patrol, Troop 1 of the American Legion Post. FIX UP TROOP 8 QUARTERS Troop 8 got a new room in the Wil- mette Baptist church and we are now having the inside of it fixed up with Celotex and The Scribe's room is being remodeled sc he has a place for his books and for the Merit Badge pamphlets. --Martin Herberholz, Scribe, Troop 8 of the Baptist Church, Wilmette. Outline Plans for Winter Camps; May Join Oak Park A winter camp is planned for the Cabin-in-the-Woods, from December 26 to December 29, a four-day period, the charge for meals and other incidentals being $4 per boy. The camp will be under the leadership of Mr. McManus with the assistance of the Scoutmasters and committeemen. The North Shore council will probably accept the invitation of the Oak Park council for twn patrols, sixteen Scouts from our council, to join them at their winter ~amp at Wilderness, Mich. The cost for a seven-day period, December 26 to January 2, would be $10 plus trans- portation. Round trip on the train amounts to about $3.50. This will make possible forty Scouts enjoying the privilege of winter camping. Each troop will be allowed to send two boys but on the 8th of December the registration will be thrown open to all. North Shore Scouts May Go to England's Jamboree Scouts from all over the world will go to England next summer to take part in the World Jamboree. Councils in some parts of the country are putting consid- erable effort into the recruiting of a large group of Scouts who will make this trip abroad incident to a tour of Europe. No definite plans have been worked out in the North Shore council, but it is probable that several local scouts will at- tend the World Jamboree. Parents and boys who are interested can get further information at Scout headquarters. - Gertrude Smith to Play for Mount Vernon Society The Chicago chapter of the Mount Vernon seminary society will hold its first fall meeting on Monday, Novem- ber 19.
