OAK LAN ET'S get somewhere" is the I motto adopted nationally by over a million Boy Scouts and Scoliters in the Fall drive to put the 1933 section of the Ten Year Program over the top. according to a bulletin released this week by James E.

West, chief Scout executive. The motto was adopted from speech made last Summer by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, honorary president of the Boy Scouts of America, when he addressed a camp of Boy Scouts in New York. President Roosevelt said in part: "When I think that at this moment, on this particular day, there are probably somewhere around 250.000 or 300.000 Boy Scouts nut in camps In the United" States, it makes me realize that it is a national movement. When we are nearly one million strong in the country and have 100,000 scoutmasters and Scout leaders, it means w6 -are getting ionyrtvhere." In 'addition President Roosevelt actively, sponsors the Ten Year Program and during 1933-34 will personally award a streamer tu to every.

Boy Scout troop, which meets three objectives set up by the National Soy Scout Council. THREE OBJECTIVES NAMED To win a Roosevelt award, troops must show an increase in membership when they re-register this yoar as compared with 12 months ago; 80 per cent of the new'Scouts who iave joined during the past year must have been 12 years old at the time; 50 per cent of the new 12-year-old Scout members must be re-registered. Each scoutmaster of Oakland Area Council troops has been furnished with a form for keeping a monthly account of progress upon this plan with the goal that, every one of the 140 troops in the Oakland Area may qualify for the Roosevelt award, according to Howard D. Ainsworth, council president Twenty-eight first class Scouts In 'uniform will be assigned to special duty at the city of Oakland's open house celebration to be held October 26, according to Homer J. Be-miss, who revealed that the first 26 Scouts to volunteer would be given this important assignment.

Scouts will serve on three-hour shifts to assist guiding visitors through the building. School excuses be arranged for boys performing this special service. CANDIDATES FOR COURT Ten Scouts finally succeeded In filing affidavits with headquarters before the deadline last Wednesday and will appear October 30 before Superior Judge Frank Ogden's Eagle Court of Honor to receive the highest award of rank presented by the Boy Scouts of America.

For the second time In the history of Dimond Camp, a "Northern Phalarope," species of marsh bird, flew over Camp Dimond. The last visitor was In 192ft, according to A.

A. DA I they will be placed on sale or where i President Roosevelt rote the fol-i lowing letter to Rear Admiral Byrd: "From a sentimental point of i 'view. I am delighted that you are using the famous old Co'i'-t Guard revenue culler Bear, and "I "'ish much that I could see you and the expedition off when you sail, I "I want you to fee) I hat on your i expedition y-vi have the full sup. i port of the United St.itfs Govern-' 'nent and thn' r-o r-il on thejfl Government in rase of need or emergency. ALL stamp collectors dream ofT making stamp finds but Lady Luck seems to be looking the other way.

However, some collectors seem to have the happy faculty of running across such finds, This is one of the fascinations of i collecting. You always live in hopes that some day you will stum- ble upon an old attic with a hair i trunk filled with age old letters. Luck plays an important part in many finds but where a collector makes repeated finds you can be sure that there is an additional element aiding Luck. To be sue- cessful as a finder of stamps it is necessary to use considerable brain I power. Of course the opportunity I of making great, finds is not nearly as plentiful as in the years past, but finds are still being made.

Several times I have had the pleasure of talking to -E. O. W. Smith of San Francisco, father of the radio sports announcer. Ernie Smith.

The last time ilalked with him he had just enjoyed a month's stay at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Honolulu, as the result of a stamp find. In a letter recently published in Weekly Philatelic, Gossip Mr. Smith tells of the highspots of his various finds. The next most interesting thing to making a stamp i find is to hear about them, so I Kelieve that Mr. Smith's letter will be of "I recently ran acrosi an i'em in your paper relating tfran interview by a reporter of aHocl newspaper, in which mention is marie of a serious lack of "finds" of stamps.

"To set you right will mention a few of lots of stamps I have run across in my fifty-five years of stamp hunting and collecting. "'My first was in the attic of the house of Henry Ward Beerher in 1876 in Brooklyn on Colombia Heights. What I found there was plenty, but at that time they were not so valuable, and all I got onl of it. was a tour of Europe in 1 8R7. "tn San Francisco, from 11P1 to 1902 I turned up large lots of good stuff including practically all the rare California revenues now resting in two large collections, such as the only two copies of the 3ri and 7 'i cent large insurance stamps, ten or a dozen of the Attorney at Law, many of the Passage Ticket, blue insurance and other rarities.

Many of them went into Adenaw and Eagle collections, and I sold one lot for $1000 to Brewster Ken-yon of Long Bench, Calif. "In 1902 I bought 105 toes of Custom House records, and my wife and a dozen or more of her lady friends were cutting off imperforate revenues for a month. In this lot were large numbers of strips and blocks of all imperfs to the $10 values. Mr. Eagle got a pair and Mr.

W. W. White a pair or the imperf Probate of Will and I sold thousands to varieiis collectors throughout the country. "Mr. H.

L. Dean finally had the two pairs of the $2 imperf Probate nf Will, having paid. I think, $70(1 or SR00 for each pair. "About thp same time turned up a vast quantity of Nevadi Revr. nues and sold them for about per thousand.

"In 1303 I had access to an eld warehouse in this city and turned up a large number of foreign rovers. mostly "from Australia. Tasmania and England. From this lot Mr. Henry J.

Crocker secured an unused 6d New South Wales (which he placed high in his collection of 100 rarities he exhibited), a copy on original cover of Reids Express and many other rare items. I realized over $5000 from this 'find' "Many of the rare express covers in the II. P. Phillips collection came from mv finds. "In IIIIS 1 'bought the remaining lor.s of F.

Custom II iu records, seeurine some line foreign rovers, including fifty or sixty French I fr. on rovers, a tet.e beche pair nf early French, other good foreign rovers and another of revrnues, mostly the lower values, Mr. John Kleeman got some nf these in a lot of stuff I sold him about that time. "In 1328 I made a find of covers in an nr house in California, among the items being a 2 Pony Express on cover, a pair of 5c IRfil buff r.n rover, many 2V and 30c 1R57 on cover and a host of other fine items, "Two years ago while in New Zealand I ran across an old irc-u who, about IRfiO, had pasted nn a plate some thirty or forty full faces all in fine shape. I still have the plate.

"Within the past month I have turned up a fine pair of the 5c buff 1861-62 on cover and other good items. "I was in the curio business here in 1894 to 1906. when I lost a large stock of fine stamps in the fire, as well as one of the largest collections of Californiana, such as old Spanish documents, rare books and pictures of early California. "Thus yon will agrre with me I haven't been at rll backward in hunting Finds I have mentioned come to mind now but there are plenty more. "The late Mr.

Greany and myself have pored over some of my finds. I sold him two fuli-s'zed barrels of 1861 to 1800 covers for $20 if I only had them now, "Incidentally I might ssy that, funds received from my stamp finds have contributed not a little to the success of my present business." E. O. W. SMITH.

To make stamp finds one must always be in a receptive mood and be willing to follow your hunches. One of the first rules is to let your friends and acquaintance's know that you are interested in and appreciative of tips as to where some are likely to be located. iou will go on many wild goose chases but there is always the hope that the next time luck will favor you. Don't let a failure dampen your ardor. A hunch led me to a small country- town and into the basement of an old-time mansion.

In that basement were more than a hundred apple boxes filled with letters, covered with a forty years' accumulation of dust. Eight hours of the hottest dirtiest work resulted in the finding of not one single stamp of value. All the stamps had been cut from the envelopes. However, I would be willing to dig th ough a similar mess again on the hopes that something had been over three men to receive a key from Jhe Eastern Debating League in rec ognition of Harvard being undefeated that season. At present he is serving ss research director of the Negro Industrial League." One of the most Interesting programs rendered in years by the Delta Sigma Theta sorority was that presented to a large and appreciative audience by the local chapter last Sunday in the First A.

M. E. Church. The mistres.s of ceremonies was Gladys Brown and the chairman of program Angelestra Renn. A fine musical program was given between the several addresses and papers.

The day was designated "Achievement Day" on the sorority ealendar. The first paper was read by President Miss Dorth.v Gray. Among other things she said: "Not until you find meaning in yourself will you find meaning in the world. Onco you get purpose in your life, you will see it in all life. My life does not belong to me, neither docs it belong to any other person.

My life belongs to creation, as a hand belongs to a body. I have kept that which thou hast committed to my hands. I have kept, the spring of my life bubbling that I might, release an infinite amount of energy to meet an infinite need of the world." Another paper of interest was read by Mrs. Vivian Osborn Marsh, an outstanding student of education andjhe founder in California of this sorority. She has filled several offices in both the local chapter and the national sorority.

Her paper contains the names of several local members, who have won achievement in scholarship, notably Mrs. Tarea Pittman. recently elected state president of C. F. of C.
