the building, refloored it with
lumber donated by Dyer Lum¬
ber Co., put in new doors and
windows, wired it for electric
lights, painted it and set up a
mall coal heater.
S out activities were then
carried on in attractive and
warm surroundings. One of
the most beneficial of drives
ca:rkd on by the boys was the
old clothing and toy collection
which took place just before
Christmas last year. The boys
solicited either new or old toys
which could be repaired and
fixed them up on meeting
nights.
The clothing was mended and
pr;s cd by the Girl Scouts,
.which are under the leader¬
ship of Mesctames James Ro¬
gers, Granville Pace and Miss
Helen Sanders. The girls also
:are due a story on their acti¬
vities and these facts will ap¬
pear at a later time.
Paper from the drive earlier
netted enough money to start a
bank account, some of which
was used to buy equipment,
including ten pup tents.

club name and amount of corn
produced. They also received
certificates of membership in
the Georgia 100 Bushel Corn
Club,
j. A total of 267 farmers, in-
eluding 57 4-H Club boys and
girls, were honored for high
corn yields throughout the
state. A thirteen-year-old 4-H
member, Willard Lanier, iof
Whitfield County, topped them
all with 168 bushels. Third
place went to a 4-H girl who
rai.ed 158 bushels, but her
cost per bushel was .50, where
Moore’s expenses per bushel
were only .45.

feted at a luncheon given by
jthe Cotton Producers’ Associa-

er. White recently moved out
of the county and the others
are tied to their jobs, which
leads to the consideration that
a leader almost has to devote
half his time to scout activi¬
ties, and so make it a hobby.
To keep the troop organized,
the boys need a man who has
time enough to make scouting
a worth-while activity. The
four who started the troop de¬
serve high praise for their
work with the scouts, and the
scouts themselves have shown
excellent qualifications in this
service to themselves, their
community and their country.
The scout motto describes
this service as follows: “On my
honor I will try to do my best,
to do my duty to God and to
my country; to obey all scout
laws, to help others at all
times; to keep myself physic¬
ally strong, mentally awake
and morally straight.”
The obvious benefit of such
an organization in the county
need not be pointed out and
the value to young men of the
following rules is limitless: A
Scoiit must be trustworthy,
loyal, helpful, friendly, cour¬
teous, kind, obedient, cheer¬
ful, thrifty, brave, clean and
reverent.
| The Boys Scouts have gone a
long way toward this goal al¬
ready; are you willing to help
them the rest of the way?
