The rest of the field day program will be held over until October. This action was taken by the committee in order to prevent any conflict with the development of the merit badge exposition, and also to permit the working out of a program that will be. even more worthwhile than anything that has been previously held.

This new plan should be not only interesting toa II those who participate bu'should servo to give a training in outdoor life that could not be bad In any other way. It is anticipated ttyit every troop in the council will enter in "this very worthwhile event which is planned for next fall. I HBItlAllV SOON.

The next Issue of the Scout Scribe will appear during the coming week. It will contain much of Interest for both scrtOts and leaders.

The two regular courts of honor for region one and region two were held on last Friday evening at the W'oodrow Wilson and Alexander Hamilton Junior High schools respectively.

Hereafter these courts III be held on recru-larly scheduled occasions and therefore notieies will not be seat to the scouts who are to receive awards. By reading this column or by watching the bulletin board at camp or headquarters, you will be kept informed as to where and when the courts will be held. Any scout, who Is entitled lo awards will have It presented to him by appearing at these courts at the regular time and place.

A large number of scouts tinned out for this monthly rally unil enjoyed the program provided, by the theater.

A special feature of the program was a fire-by-friction contest participated in by a large number of scouts. The winners of this event will be announced In this column on next Sunday. Prize were awarded in this event by "Bugs" Cain, council naturalist. The enthusiasm developed a't tbt-rally 'will be carried over into the mobilization on next. Friday night.

Hvery scout in the council wilj want 'to. be present to enjoy the most'. Interesting and worthwhile program which has been developed for that occasion. The event. ha.s been to plifnf'tl that It will be impossible for aV(v scout or scout -leader to learn where troops are to assemble until a few hours before the actual "get-together." In addition to furnishing a.

real' thrill to nil Oakland scouts, the affair will serve to educate them in Hafety, as well as to demonstrate to the public bow really prepared scouts are to serve i.p an emergency. The occasion marks the nineteenth birthday of scouting in the United Slates, for it wan on February that the scout movement was originally incorporated In this country. This citv-wlde mobilization will J'rV'i-ve as a stepping stone for Oak land scouts toward the merit badge exposition to be held in the civic auditorium In April. The latter will unquestionably be the biggest, thing that Boy have ever attempted In the bay area. SCOUT SUN DAV.

The Sunday, which comes during scout anniversary week is each year designated as Scout Sunday. All scouts will participate in some sort of a religious service on that day. Special services of a non-denominational nature re held in a large number of the churches In our city on that occasion. Any scout Is Invited to participate In any one of these services that he chooses. Theso special Ratherings am usually held on Runlay evening, thus enabling each boy to attend the church of his preference for the morning service.

Here Is an opportunity for every scotil to carry out the twelfth polint of the scon: law mm to show his belief In a Cod to which he has committed himself in the scout oath. MF.rU'r IJADC.F.S HANGED.

The requirements' or rr conservation marksmanship, handicraft, sculpture and forestry were somewhat altered, while the reuireruents for pathl'inding and chemistry ere completely changed.

No scouts should attempt to prepare themselves fur these two last badge without ascertaining what these eihangos have been. In addition to these changes a new reading merit badge was created on the first of January. The reading committee of the Oakland eoimcil ha.s recently determined the interpretation of tliene requirements. These are ava Ibibeml beadruartcrs.

The new rating plan for the year lO'O is still in- the hands of tho special committee which lias been working on it for some time. It Is expected that the complete plan will be printed and distributed in timefor the January reports to be made by February 15. This extension beyond the usual time is duo to the fact that the plan could not be made ready during the month of December.

The plan for the current year has been considerably simplified over its previous form' and it is anticipated that a large nurnhur of troops will enter into this troop rating Idea -that were not formerly participating in it. It is intended to serve more ai a means of bettering -th'escouting which Js being done in any troop than as a means of comparing the various troops withlrulliej potincil on a competitive basis: There is probably no troop, in Oakland which will not be strengthened and bettered by an earnest attempt to comply with the require-, ments of the troop rating plan. 1929 DIAUllOS ON HAND.

By keeping a diary always wilh him, a scout Is able to record bis important engagements or record his good turn's, and at the same tlme he will have help In signalling, first aid. and other sco-nt tests in a handy form. These are still, to be. had headquarters or at camp for 15 cents each. Vi 1 i I ,11 Building Permits Issued Since January First for Seven Hotels arid Apartment Houses of 3 or more "stories.
