Troop II Our scout work is becoming more interesting every day as we find out many things there are to learn about scouting. In Troop II a number of boys who are secondclass scouts and several who have passed nearly all of the first-class test. We held our first meeting in the Junior High School on Tuesday night. The boys feel that this is a good place to meet and thank the school authorities for allowing them the use of the building. We do not use a school room but the upstairs hall in which we place folding chairs.

Most of our summer meetings will be held out-of-doors. Our troop is starting some "good turns" by patrols. The Flying Eagle Patrol is planning to keep the grass cut this summer on the lawn of the Grace Reformed Church. Another patrol is going to be responsible for keeping clean the old graveyard back of the Council House. It is a shame the way some thoughtless people dump cans, bottles and other rubbish in what ought to be held "a sacred place." We're going to clean it up and will report to the Council anyone we find "messing" it up.

A letter was recently received grotto Scout Crow and one Scout Clarence Gamble, who is attending Stevens Trade School in Lancaster. Scout William Tiley, Troop II. Scoutmaster's Letter Well boys, last week I promised to give you a few suggestions to observe when on the hike. Here they are: 1. Be properly shod.

One uses his feet more than anything else in hiking. A light strong pair of shoes with heavy socks (no holes) should carry one 20 miles without blistering the feet. If feet feel tired, stop and bathe them in a stream, but be sure they are perfectly dry before putting on the hose. 2. Drink plenty of water -not a great lot at one time but a glass every mile would be excellent.

Carry a bottle (of water) along. 3. "Be carry with you every thing you will need but nothing that would be a useless burden. 4. Wear sufficient clothes for cool evenings.

Don't throw at signs, telephone poles or roofs; in fact at anything that you would not wish some one to stone if it were your property. 6. Observe signs to "Keep 7. A picnic dinner has no place on hike and a mother who packs one doing the scout an injustice. Carry only a small quantity of substantial food and some fruit.

8. In going thru a man's place observe in crossing fences, gates, and protect his crops. 9. Put out your camp fire leave the place in better condition than you found it. 10.

Protect our birds, wild flowers, and our fast disappearing shrubs. Use you Scout knowledge to protect forests and prevent forest fires. If you fellows observe the above rules in hiking the people into whose community you go will hail your coming with pleasure rather than with dread and suspicion, and your hikes be happy and, useful. You will be interested to know that scouts of Troop III, John Shugars, Donald Rhine and Daniel Long acted color guard for the Normai School Band in the parade at Chambersburg Saturday. Prof.

Slyter says they performed the uty in a splendid manner. On Saturday Assistant Scoutmaster Barbour and I went on a little investigating hike over Big Flat to find out how far you boys should walk on your first day of the Gettysburg hike, June 8. We found a delightful camping spot about half way, then we walked on into Gettysburg (it was only 29. miles) and made arrangements with the Scoutmaster for Will tell you more about that later. -I.

Meinhardi, the well known Expert from Chicago, will personally be at the Penn-Harris Hotel, Harrisburg, on Thursday and Friday, May 6th and 7th, from 9:00 a.m.

to 6:00 p.m. Mr. Meinhardi says "The Vacuum Rupture Shield" will not only hold the Rupture perfectly, but will contract the opening in thirty days on the average case-usually giving instantaneous relief withstanding all strain regardless of the size and location of the Rupture. WARNING: Do not expose yourself to the danger of wearing old-style trusses with understraps. These trusses usually place the pad on the lump and not on the rupture opening.

This often causes strangulation which usually necessitates an immediate surgical operation or results in sudden death. "The Vacuum Rupture Shield" has no understraps, no straps around the body or legs. It is also perfectly sanitary and practically indestructible, and should be worn while bath ing. Only gentlemen are invited to call at this time as a special visit will be made here later for women and children. Notice: "The Vacuum Rupture Shield" can not be fitted by mail.

Every case must be seen personally. Please note the above dates and hours carefully. Strictly no charge for demonstration. Address all correspondence to E. J.
