* Thirty Drumright Boy Scouts, all *
* but two members of Troop 1, stood
« at attention this morning before *
* the Derrick office to be reviewed. *
* Thirty little men, true-blue Ameri-
* cans all, they represent the hope *
« of the future. Their faces were *
* all aglow with delight, and thirty
« pairs of eyes held that gleam
which makes us all want to be

* not in uniform, they presented a *
* picture most pleasing to the eye, *
« and the spectator was as thrilled *

fellows were themselves.

* plete equipment for all of the *

* Wouldn't it be a fine thing if the *(
. business men and others would ,

rick, who had driven out to see how
they were getting along. They had
been out a little more than an hour
and a half. Their supply car, loaded
to the brim with blankets, cooking
outfits and eats, had gone on ahead
to the camping grounds.

At eleven-thirty the troop had
