PLANTING NUTS AND
FRUITS
IT is too late in the majority of states
to plant nuts and fruits for game.
However, as long as the ground is
open and not frozen solid you can
do this.
In Harrisburg, Mr. John M. Phil-
lips, member of our Executive Board
and former member of the Game
Commission of Pittsburgh urged
Scout Troops to participate in this
fine conservation measure. Many
Scouts and Scout Councils, such as
the Allegheny have conducted plant-
ing programs for many years. Hazel-
nuts are particularly desirable since
they are valuable food for not only
squirrels but many other small game.
Walnuts, hickory nuts, chinquapins,
etc., are more valuable for game food.
The nuts should be planted shortly
after they are gathered unless they
are kept by burying them in moist
soil.
Such fruits and berries as dogwood,
hawthorn, crabapple, viburnum,
grape, and bittersweet may also be
planted.

The Council Committee
The Health and Safety Committee
is one of the six operating committees
of the Council. It is made up oi a
group of experts, on Health both
Personal and Public, general safety
and specialized safety subjects such
as fire and firearms, swimming and
life saving, and first aid. Besides this
group of specialists, there will be a
representative from every district on
the committee.
The work of this group of men
will, with the cooperation of Scout-
masters, result in a program of more
adventurous Scouting activities than
ever before. There are many splendid
things which are labeled as danger-
ous that may be conducted with com-
parative safety if those who lead and
those who take part are skillful.
There are more sailing and mountain
climbing today, for example, than
ever before in history, and the acci-
dents are indeed rare.
