LEARNING TO GIVE, fit a Christmas
party for elderly nursinglhome patients,
our pack sang carols, "hen gave out
gifts and fruit to the oldsters. As we left,
one Cub with a smile as big as old
Saint Nick's, remarked, "Boy, this is
the best day in my whole life."
Den Mother Mrs. Ann B. Robbins
Quincy, Mass.
PLEASE, MOTHER. At our den Christ-
mas party, one of my six Cubs was
especially eager for me to open his gift
package to me. Imagine my surprise
when I found a tiny gold pillbox with
exactly six aspirin tablets.
Mrs. Marjorie R. Hackenbracht
Pack 304, Homewood, III.
SMACK. While one Scout of Troop 191,
Celina, Tenn., presented an elderly
lady with flowers as part of our Christ-
mas Eve activity, the rest of the troop
waited outside. One boy, looking
through the doorway, suddenly turned
in amazement and exclaimed, "She
kissed him!"
Scoutmaster Kyle J. Cherry
Troop 191, Celina, Tenn.
PROJECT GRATITUDE. That's what
they called it in the Gulf Coast (Pen-
sacola, Fla.) Council. Each unit selected
a hometown serviceman in Vietnam.
Then, at a unit meeting, a special flag
ceremony and a discussion of "The
Price of Freedom" were held. The unit
leader or someone appointed by him
explained how the serviceman honored
was contributing to our freedom. A
letter of gratitude signed by the boys
and the small flag used in the cere-
mony were sent to him.
NO SHOPPING NEEDED. The great-
est gift a boy can have is the knowledge
that a man cares enough to share a part
of his life with him.
President Thomas J. Watson, Jr.
Boy Scouts of America
AIRMAN. During Boy Scout Week,
Chief Engineer Chuck Campfield
of radio station KDRS, Paragould, Ark.,
featured Scouting on his daily 5-minute
editorials. As Scoutmaster of Troop 114
he was acquainted with Scouting Maga-
zine and drew heavily on it for his
editorials.

SNOWMEN. I luring the winter, troops
and posts in Rochester, N.Y., are
encouraged to 'keep neighborhood fire
hydrants clear of snowdrifts. Each unit
makes a map of hydrant locations in its
area. Scout volunteers are then assigned
to specific hydrants to keep them clear
during storms as well as during plow-
ing operations afterward. They initial
their map each time they clear their
hydrant of snow.

JOYFUL TEARS. Traveling through
York, Nebr., on a tractordrawn, flatbed
truck covered with decorations, lights,
and a revolving Christmas tree, three
troops caroled for shut-ins and senior
citizens. Joyful tears often greeted the
boys as they spread the holiday spirit.
The evening ended with hot dogs and
hot chocolate at an armory.
Norman E. Leach
District Scout Executive
York, Nebr.
"FORE" HUSBANDS? I was asking
my Cubs to say "Merry Christmas"
in a foreign language. Addressing my
son, I asked, "Can you say 'Merry
Christmas' in the language of one of
your forefathers?" "Oh, Mrs. Wilson,"
piped up one boy, "have you been
married four times?"
Mrs. Charmaine Wilson

INFORMERS. Last February nearly
20 service clubs in Berks County, Pa.,
had a Scout program—most of them
consisting of boy speakers. Club mem-
bers were amazed to learn that nearly
8,000 boys—one-third of all boys 8 to
18 in the county—are in Scouting.
BREAKTHROUGH. When Ed Cogs-
well's doorbell rang, he found five small
boys facing him on the porch. Asked
what they wanted, one said they had just
broken his car windshield. After thank-
ing them, Mr. Cogswell asked why they
were so good as to tell him. Their
spokesman replied, "I'm one of Mr.
Clark's Cub Scouts, and I didn't think
it would be right not to tell you."
Cubmaster Dave Clark
Pack 16, Stoughton, Mass.
