TRUSTWORTHY. Someone at our
local radio station must be a Scouter
of experience. Recently I heard a
speaker say, "If a man's wife doesn't
mind him spending a couple of nights
a week out with the hoys, you can bet
she's married to a Scoutmaster."
Scoutmaster William C. Steaffens
Troop 12, Fond du Lac, Wis.
SPRECHEN SIE DEUTSCHE No
ticing the perplexed look on one of
the boys being checked out on Morse
code, I looked closer to see what was
happening. The instructor was using
his "Deutsch" interpreter's strip to
good advantage. Instead of having the
boys send a message in English,
where if you know most of the letters
you can guess the rest, he was having
them transmit in German. The re-
ceiver had to know all the letters—or
else.
Asst. Scoutmaster William E. Cary
Troop 388, Albuquerque, N. Mex.

ONE WOMAN'S MEAT ... My
son's patrol was holding its weekly
meeting at our house. When I could
tell by the buzzing that the meet-
ing was about over, I brought in some
juice and cookies, and said, "Sorry,
boys. I know you prefer popcorn but
I just can't make it right."
"Gee," said one of the Scouts,
"that's all my mother can make."

UNDERCOVER MEN. The problem
of children reading books in bed by
use of a flashlight under the covers,
when they should be asleep, is age
old. This, of course, is detected by the
telltale rays from the flashlight that
seep through the covers. Mrs. Eliza-
beth Oaks, housemother of the cot-
tage where the Cub Scouts of Pack 10
at the Kentucky School for the Blind
live, has a different problem. The
Cubs read Braille copies of Boys' Life
in bed. They can only be detected by
the rythmic movement of hands under
the bedcovers.
Cubmaster Charles E. Leppert, Jr.
Pack 10, Louisville, Ky.
biggest word in Scouting is year

phasis is on PACK-IN camping. Now,
more than ever before, it's important for
Scout leaders to get all the facts on . . .
