Letters
Tied reins are a hazard
The picture on the cover of the No-
vember-December issue was great, ex-
cept for one problem. Never, never tie bridle
reins together for young horseback riders.
A girl in our community caught her foot in
tied reins and was dragged to her death. I
have lived on a ranch all my life and was
taught by my father never to tie reins to-
gether for that reason. A dropped rein is bet-
ter than a hand or foot caught in tied reins.

Horse trek was a highlight
Your November-December article on the Co-
lumbia-Pacific Council's horse trek in Oregon
brought back pleasant memories. I made the
same trip in June, 1957...Then, instead of
raincoats, the dress was short sleeve shirts as
the temperature was in the 90s. The trip took
us across the permanent snow beds on Mount
Hood. There are few things more refreshing
than a swim in water fresh off a glacier when
you have ridden all day in the heat.
I consider the trip a highlight in my Scout-
ing career and often speak of it to my son, who
is a Scout here in North Carolina.

CPR teaching method still valid
It has been pointed out that my "Hands to
Heart" method for teaching CPR, as demon-
strated in the November-December issue,
cannot be used to fulfill the newest require-
ments for the First Aid merit badge, which
state that the Scout must demonstrate CPR
on an adult mannequin for three minutes.
However, the change in requirements
doesn't diminish the idea that the system is
not to pass individual Scouts on CPR for a

merit badge. It is designed to show Scouts and
Scouters how easy it is to introduce CPR,
using a volley ball or soccer ball in lieu of an
expensive mannequin.
When using the Hands to Heart system,
leaders should carefully:
• Follow all steps outlined in The Boy Scout
Handbook or First Aid merit badge pam-
phlet.
• Understand the concept as outlined in the
magazine article (taking all precautions as de-
scribed).
• Encourage all participants to take a regular
CPR course.
• Schedule Hands to Heart practice sessions
on a regular basis using the volley ball when
mannequins are not available.

A plea for patience
Help! We've been inundated with requests for
plans for the giant papier-mache Cub Scouts
shown in the November-December article on
our pack's 50th anniversary celebration.
We've needed more time to put the plans to-
gether, but we'll respond to every request,
although it will take a while longer than antici-
pated.

Full uniforming policy challenged
I take issue with the November-December ar-
ticle on full uniforming in Scouting activities.
In my years as a Scout and Scouter, I have
noted too many professional and volunteer
Scouters spend too little time with Scouts.
Boys vote on things they don't like by not
coming to meetings, going on camp-outs, or
participating in Good Turn projects. The
problem comes when you try to enforce the
"wear your Scout pants" rule. Would Scouters
wear something they consider "awfully stupid
looking" (a term used by a Star Scout)? Maybe
it's time to rethink the design of Scout
trousers. The boys will wear something they
like.
By the way, in this area, most local sports
teams provide uniforms for their* players. I
don't know of any Scout troop that does....
