Senior Scouting has its special
problems inasmuch as it is designed
for older Scouts, and this must de-
pend largely on the number of
older Scouts available. These are
problems with which the Commis-
sioner is best able to deal, because
of his contact with the leaders of all
three branches of the Movement.
6. Records and Finance
Businesslike management is ne-
cessary in all branches of Scouting.
The Commissioner should be pre-
pared to suggest recommended pro-
cedures that will strengthen the
financial program of the Unit, elim-
inate weaknesses and problems,
and produce the best results. These
same principles hold true regard-
ing attendance, advancement, and
other vital records.
The Service Man in Scouting
When the Scout Program is
adopted by a sponsoring institution,
certainly the Local Council should
stand behind it. If problems de-
velop, then the sponsoring institu-
tion, the Troop Committee and the
Scoutmaster call on the Local Coun-
cil for help. The Commissioner, be-
ing the service man, stands ready
to give this help and he will gener-
ally find that the problem to be met
falls within one of the six fields of
service mentioned above.
Finally, those who serve as Com-
missioners have the great responsi-
bility of seeing to it that the Spirit
of Scouting is a living reality in
each Pack, Troop and Senior Unit
under their jurisdiction.
FIRE PUMPS GUARD
THE LIBERTY BELL
America's most treasured symbol
of liberty, the Liberty Bell in In-
dependence Hall, Philadelphia, is
protected against incendiary bombs
by Indian Fire Pumps, manufac-
tured by D. B. Smith & Com-
pany. Boy Scout Camp Directors
the country over find these pumps
to be an important part of their
camp equipment. The mobility of
these fire fighting units make them
easily manned by Scouts in fighting
small fires that break out around
camp or in surrounding areas.
ORDER NOW FOR SUMMER
One of the greatest wartime services a Scout can
render is to stop fires —■ quickly and before they

Use Pine Needles
To Scour Pots, Pans
Since steel wool and copper
cleaning pads are no longer avail-
able, many Scouts and Scouters are
going back to the method used by
woodsmen and outdoorsmen for
years. The dried pine needles, mak-
ing up the floor of any coniferous
forest, used dry without water, will
adequately clean the soot and
grease from pots and pans.

CASH'S Woven NAMES
Identify Troop and Individuals
CCOUTING teaches orderliness, care of per-
^ sonal and group property, and pride in owner-
ship. To help in such instruction, to save the
Troop and its members from loss, to avoid owner-
ship disputes, there's nothing quite like Cash's
Names. They provide positive identification.
Mark all Troop equipment—tents, blankets, cots,
etc.—with Troop name and insignia. Have each
member mark his equipment—hat, clothing, linen,
bedding—with both Troop name and his own name
woven with fast color thread in fine tape by Cash's.
Cash's Names are neat, permanent, economical,
known the world over as the best method of mark-
ing. Easy to attach. Samples and prices of special
labels sent on request.
Trial Offer: Send ISc for one dozen
of your own first name.
