The ratings were won at the second anuual, and by far the largest, cam poroe of the Salt Lake City council held June 15 and 15 at Liberty park.

The large number of tents of many practicable patterns, the abundance! of sleeping bags made by tne scouts for their camping activities and the numerous pack boards, all utilized in excellent fashion, characterized the camporee, said D. E. Hammond, coun cil executive, who was in general charge of the affair. Camp Fire Program Other features were the districl camp fire programs given Friday night, and interpatrol activity con tests Saturday morning. Lee Rawlings, scoutmaster of Troop 42, installed a public address system which proved helpful in directing activities.

The patrols checked in June 15 at Ninth South and Sixth East streets and carried their equipment to the registration tepee in the southwest corner of the park, where they were essigned to camping places. Following setting up camps, visit- Ing and cooking supper, the district commissioners conducted district camp fire programs. Four districts held their June courts of honor. At the Cottonwood district court of honor the Hurray high school band, with a membership of 54, played for half an hour. Saturday's program included games and activities, including swimming races and mass participation ia swimming.

composer. It of Terror in Editor's note: Tho following article is the fifth of a'series on fishing, written by H. P. Kipp, scoutmaster of troop 34. Uy H.

T. KIPP Most fishermen prefer stream fishing to lake fishing, as it is generally conceded it requires more skill to take a good catch from a stream than a lake. Weather conditions affect stream fishing very much. Also the amount of feed in the stream has an important bearing on the way in which the fish bite. In the spring when the stream is high and the water roily it is usually necessary to use bait if one would have any amount of success.

The bait should be cast into the water above the hole to be fished and the water should be permitted to carry it naturally into the deep part of the hole. If possible, the bait should be allowed to travel near the stream bed and often, it is necessary to use lead sinkers to accomplish this. The number of sinkers to use and the distance to place them above the bait hook require careful study and the knowledge necessary to do this correctly comes only from experience. Often a spinner will turn the trick and catch the desired number of fish. Requires Real Skill Of course, the sport of kings as far as fishing Is concerned is fly fish- Jig.

This requires real skill and diligent practice. Some fishermen prefer to fish upstream, whereas others claim the best results are had by fishing downstream. Personally I prefer io fish upstream. As stressed in lake a fisherman mtist always teep a tight line when fly fishing, rle should again remember that the fish usually comes for the first cast and he must be prepared to hook him. He should be very careful to keep out of sight, as a moving branch or shadow on the water will frighten the fish.

He may talk as loud as he desires, as fish cannot heer, but if he rolls a stone into the stream, or otherwise violently disturbs the water, the concussion causes the fish to dart elsewhere for protection. When fly fishing it i.s necessary to change flies until the right one or ones are found. If tho fi.sh bites the first fly you try, stick to it, even if you use the same fly for a week. When getting ready to cast or recast, the rod should be steadily brought back, so that the fly forms a perfect arc in its travel from the water and back again. It should never snap or pop when it reaches the farthest point behind you, as usually that means another fly gone or snapped from the leader.

Catch Many Small Gnns The fish, will come for a fly as readily as tho larger one.s, and therefore usually a large number of fish under legal size are caught. If the fisherman will practice control and not try to throw each fi.sh he catches over his head, the small fjsh can be carefully removed from thej hook without harm to them, returned to tho stream and allowed to reach legal size. In removing them from the hook, the hand holding tho fish should be wet before doing If the hand i.s dry a certain protecting film i.s deslroyed, and often a fungus growth starts on the fish, which soon kills it. Many fishermen use spinners in stream fishing with good success. S.

L. SCOUTS DOING GOOD TURN DAILY Scouts Leani About Camps and Camp Life 9 Vanguards, you hava a real opportunity for worthwhile service in conducting your traffic safety survey. Who will make the best recommendations? If a flat stump is available or can be made so, it is an excellent base. Next make the gnomon or shadow caster. This can be cut from the crotch a small tree or can be brought from home.

In either event the outside edges must make an angle equal to the degree of lattitude of the locality. (Salt Lake City is 40 degrees 46 minutes, roughly 40 3-4 degrees.) IE the rustic crotch is made in camp a pattern with the correct angle should be made at home before leaving. Next attach a gnomon in place. Watch the shadow it casts about noon. When it is exactly under the top edge it is noon naccording to sun time.

Set your watch with it and then as each hour arrives according to your watch, make a mark on the sun dial for that hour where the upper edge of the gnomon has cast its shadow. Make iVsmgmmls Assigned Help in Safely Drive suitable marks to indicate and forget your watch. the hours It can be made on the ground with sticks or rocks, drawing a circle to represent the edge of the slump.

Salt Lake council Boy Scouts have had several occasions recently to "do a good turn daily" for public functions, giving hundreds of scouts training in civic duties and performing a real service to the various bodies served. During the Utah State Medical convention Thursday, Friday and Saturday, arranged by Dr. Francis A.

Gocltz, a farmer president of the Salt Lake scout council, almost 50 scouts aided in convention arrangements. Two older scouts from troup 51 aided in registration Wednesday from 5 to 8 p. m. Troops 38 and G8 furnished six scouts Thursday morning, serving as messengers and assistants in other particulars. Six scouts each were furnished for half-day intervals by the troops: 13, 51, 21 and C4.

Aiding in directing the great crowds of more than 10,000 persons and also assisting in registration, were a number of Boy Scouts during the annual conference sessions of the D. S. Young Men's and Young Women's Mutual Improvement associations and the Primary association June 8, 9 and 10. Similarly, at Flag day services held last Sunday at Liberty park under direction of Salt Lakc'lodgc No. H5, B.

I near this tree one Sunday afternoon not long ago, watching the drama which was being enacted in its vicinity. Balanced on the topmost bough was an Arkansas kingbird. Periodically he would dart out into the air and snap up a passing insect, wasting neither time nor effort, but immediately returning to his lofty perch or else to the nest below, where his mate was sitting The Arkansas kingbird is a western bird and quite different in appearance from the kingbird of the eastern statc.s, which is black and white and of a generally more showy aspect.

Being flycatchers, the.se birds live and breed here only from April to September, and are. compelled to migrate to a warmer climate when cold weather cuts off their food supply.

L. Hammond. Reservations have been so heavy that council officers decided to open July 22 instead of July 28, as originally planned. Troops 25 and 30 From the Judge Memorial school and Lhe Cathedral of lha Madeleine, respectively, and approximately 125 scouts from Bingham district will oc- upy the camp for the advanced week. Another feature of the camp will take place on the last week ot camp, when Vanguards and other older scouts will make a four-day pack trip from Savage's ranch near Stockmore to the basin.

Faced by the problem of carrying food for the week, in addition to regular camp equipment on the four- day hike, the Vanguards have been studying menus and other details for some time. Meantime the Tracy wigwam in Mill Creek canyon, directed by Field Executive R. H. Lamott, is enjoying a program filled with fascinating activities. All registered scouts may lake advantage of the wigwam facilities without cost, for three-day periods.

Scouts must arrive before 9:30 a. m. on Mondays or Thursday, bringing their own bedding and food, also written permission from their parents and their scoutmaster. Troops which have registered for Camp Steiner follow: July 28 to August 4, 38, 71, 24, G2, 48, 63, 40. 136, 32, 60, 143, 22, 35, 43 and 77; alternates, 335, 50, 10G and 150.

The Arkansas kingbird is a common bird in Utah right now. Hundreds nf them may be seen on the electric wires or poles between Salt Lake City and Ogden, for instance, and many of their ne.sts are built on the crossarms. But, while he is common, he is by day.

This is a portion of the Scout oath. Both the Scout oath and the Scout law remind the Scout that of alt his duties the first is- to his God. And how does a Scout discharge this duty? We discharge an obligation to a person or to an institution by service and so it is in this instance. Wn do our duty to our Heavenly Father by serving Kim. The Scout law admonishes us to be reverent.

We aro reverent when we use His name properly. When we spoa'c of Him, or the things which pertain to Him, we do not vui- i 1 LI garly take His name in vain. On the ly observe our solemn promise let us 1O arn pur duty to God and having contrary, we only use His name respectfully, considering Him as the Father of us all, the Giver of all that is good. He i.s the Groat Scout, the one who has already pioneered and the trail of Jife. Being wise and alert he ha.s observed the things which make all Scoul.s happy and being kind He tells us to do them.

He has also discovered the pitfalls and dangerous places along trail and He has warned us so that we may avoid them. When we follow this generous advice, which i.s another way saying that we keep Hi.s commandment, we are serving Him and moreover are serving each other and, in fact we are ourselves, fnr the members of which will be announced things He asks us to'do are only such later, Mr. Alvord reported.

Protect Trees, Is Advice Given To All Scouts Trees not only furnish us with shade on a hot summer day, but they also furnish beauty to our city, therefore every scout should strive to pre- lect the trcefl in his neighborhood. When tree is young It is not as hardy as an older tree.

This is the time scouts should take care of them. The roots of young trees do not reach far into the ground, therefore, they need to be watered. During this hot summer, scouts can do the best kind of a "good turn" by watering these' young trees. It only takes a bucketful of water every few days if the ground is cultivated so that the water will penetrate. Lawnmowers frequently cause the death of a tree, according to Rufus D.

Johnson, city tree warden. When attempting to cut the grass next to a tree the lawnmowcr invariably hits the tree, causing a bruise or cuts the bark and if this is dono around the tree a few times it may girdle the tree and kill it. To stop this it is a good plan to dig a basin around the tree about 30 inches in diameter and if this dnes not stop it, drive pipes or wooden around the tree about six or eight inches from the base. This will absorb the shock of the lawn mower. If every scout would take an inter- e.s-t in the trees around hi.s homo and in places where they are not taken care of, such as vacant lots, we would improve the beauty of our city immensely.
