HARDING ON WAY FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF DISTRICT
BACK TO HIS JOB; council IS MADE AT MEETING
THE PRESIDENT’S VACATION IN
WHITE MOUNTAINS
IS AT END
Portland, Me., Aug. 6.—President
Harding ended his vacation visit to
the White Mountains of New Hamp
shire today and. crossed Maine to
board the yacht Mayflower here for
the return to Washington.
Accompanied by Mrs. Harding and
other members of the vacation party
the President made the 140-mile cross
country trip by automobile, starting
early in the day from Lancaster, N.
H., where he has been the guest of
Secretary of War Weeks since Tues
day.
He went out of his way to visit a
soldiers’ sanitarium at Oxford, Mo.,
stopped at Portland Springs for lunch
and a game of golf and accepted an
invitation to pay a brief call and
make a speech at West Brook, just
outside of Portland, in the evening.
Sailing late tonight the Mayflower is
expected to reach Washington Tues
day noon.
The stop at West Brook was ar
ranged at the request of Senator Hale
of the State, who has been one of Mr.
Harding’s companions on this and
several previous trips. Several thou
sand gathered to hear the President’s
speech, greeting the people of the
State and reiterating his prediction
to assume the leadership for world
peace at the coming disarmament con
ference.
During the stop at Oxford both the
President and Mrs. Harding assured
the disabled Worlt^ War veterans
under treatment there the Govern
ment would do everything possible for
their welfare. Both asked many
questions about the needs of the pa
tients, most of whom are suffering
from the effects of gas, and before
leaving made a thorough inspection of
the whole establishment.
Brinson Licks Climax
In Two Fast Contests
Brinson, Ga. Aug. 6.—In a hard
fought game Brinson defeated Climax
on the local’s diamond Tuesday by a
Rcore of 11 to 4.
Batteries—Brinson: Earp and King;
Climax: Dave Moseley and Hollings
worth.
Thursday the teams met again on
the Climax park and the score was
2 to 1, in favor of Brinson.
Batteries—Thursday, Brinson: Earp
and Gibson; Climax: Lefty Lang and
Hollingsworth.
The Climax team fought hard in
both games but was outclassed by
Karp’s pitching and the fielding of
the Brinson boys.
This is the fourth game Earp has
pitched and has won three, fanning
51 men in the four games.
Enrp is only 17 years old and is
considered the best right-hand pitcher
in Southwest Georgia.
At the meeting Friday of the Ro-
tirians, Kiwanians and executive com
mittee of the Boy Scouts it was de
cided to have the treasurer make a
written report of all his income and
expenditures in order that the other
counties of the district might see
exactly what money has been spent in
the work in each county, and also
what amount has been paid by each
county. Albany has borne the brunt
of the expense of organization, but
the other counties are irv hearty co
operation and are willing to do their (
part towards continuing the work, as!
business men generally realize the!
great work being done among the
boys in the Second Congressional
District.
Mr. Eagby has been employed in
this work for a little more than eight
months and during that time he has
held educational conferences on Sat
urdays and Sundfeys in connection
with the churches. Doughtery, Col
quitt, Calhoun, Decatur, Mitchell and
Grady counties have entered this work
and have nineteen troops organized to
date, consisting of nearly 500 boys.
Thomas county has raised her quota
and will soon begin the scout work.
Troops in the remaining counties will
be organized just as rapidly as pos
sible.
A Scout camp was held at Noch-
away Creek during Juno for Dough
erty and Qalhoun counties; other
counties held camps also. It is the
hope of the committee that all coun
ties can join in one central camp next
year. This camp will be centrally
located and the boys of different coun
ties can attend on specified weeks.
By having a central camp it will
greatly reduce expenses and enable
the boys to have a much better out
ing. By having a central camp, it is
the belief of the district council that
every precaution for health and safety
can be taken and that the boys can
derive more benefit than they could
from individual camps.
The following is the report of the
treasurer showing his receipts and ex
penditures:
Boy Scout Executive Committee
Holds Meeting With Rotarians
and Kiwanians
Representatives from the Albany
Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs met with
the Boy Scout executive committee
Friday and reviewed the successful
work that has been done in the Second
Congressional District during the
present year and made plans for its
continuance.
The idea of the congressional dis
trict organization of Boy Scouts origi
nated with the secretaries of the Ro
tary Clubs for the states of Geor
gia, Florida, and Alabama at a meet
ing in the fall of 1919 in Macon.
The president of the Albany club
was in attendance at this meeting
and brought this idea to the Rotary

Club at Albany. They communicated
with Mr. Stanley Harris, Rational
field director of Boy Scouts, and un
der his supervision the Second Con
gressional District of Georgia was
organized -with headquarters at Al
bany for the purpose of carrying
scouting to all the boys in this dis
trict.
In order to give this idea a trial
the Rotarians and Kiwanians of Al
bany agreed to advance the salary
of a district executive for three
months. Mr. W. M. Bagby, Jr., was
employed as district executive with
headquarters at Albany. Through
his efficient work six troops were or
ganized in Albany at once, all of
which have done excellent work.
After the organization of these-
troops, a meeting was called in Al
bany last December in an effort to
arouse the interest of the other
counties in the Second Congressional
District and each county had a rep
resentative present. At this meet
ing an executive committee, an execu
tive boardi and 1 a district council
were organized. It was decided to
begin a campaign to collect the
necessary funds to pay the expenses
of the scout work for the present
year and to pay the salary of Mr.
Bagby, District Executive. Mr. Bag-
by’s duties consists in organizing
troops in every county in the dis
trict and supervising the work gen
erally. It was necessary to raise
considerable funds, so Albany
pledged $2,400 and the other coun
ties of the district pledged other
amounts as shown in the treasurer’s
report hereto attached. A Ford car
was purchased for Mr. Bagby to use
in visiting the counties in the dis
trict. He has spent most of his time
outside of Albany, organizing ' the
work and keeping interest aroused
in the scout movement in other coun
ties.
July 22, 1921.
Mr. D. H. Redfearn, Chairman,
Nochaway Council,
Boy Scouts of America
Dear Sir:
Enclosed herewith you will find a
statement of receipts and disburse
ments of this Council of Boy Scouts
for the period since organization up
to and including July 21st.
Unofficial reports have been mad
to me that pledges have been secured
in the various counties comprising
the district somewhat as follows:
Doughtery $2400
Colquitt 800
Calhoun 100
Mitchell, (Pelham) 250
Grady, (Cairo) 400
Decatur, (Bainbridge) 600
Early 400
Seminole 250
Miller v 100
Thomas' 1000
These figures may not be exactly
correct, but they represent what has
been reported by the county chair
men to our scout executive. You
will see that in most cases only a
smal( ,’proportion of theste pledges
have been collected and turned over
to me. Doughtery county has turned
in a larger percentage of her pledge
than any other county.
The two Items of expenditure
“Expenses Scput Executive—travel
ing’ and *‘autom<(bile” were oc
casioned by the organization work
of the scout executive in the whole
district. By careful analysis of his
itemized expense account, figuring a
fair amount for the time spent in
^aeh place, but not including any
part of the cost of automobile, the
expense of organization has been
approximately as follows: Grady,
$175; Mitchell, $75; Colquitt, $400;
Decatur, $165.00; Thomas, $200;
Tift, $50; Early, $50; Calhoun, $50;
Miller, $50; Seminole, $50.
It is my opinion that it will re
quire about $400 per month for the
next four months to carry on the
work in the district to a successful
conclusion for the year.
Very truly yours,
P. J. BROWN,
Treasurer Nochaway Council Boy
Scouts of America.
