HIGH SCHOOL

SCOUT FAMILIES ATTEND
COURT OF HONOR
A group of Scbnt families en-
joyed a very nice picnic Monday
night at Lions Park. Although we
didn't get the much hoped for rain,
it did turn cloudy and cool and
everyone enjoyed themselves.
After the picnic a Court of
Honor was held. All adult lead-
ers and Scouts were presented
their new charter year registra-
tion cards. A large number of
merit badges were awarded to
many of the Scouts. These merit
badges, for the most part, were the
result of the work accomplished
by the Scouts during the week of
summer camp at Indian Creek.
Randy Alnnis and Gary Daniels
were presented their Tenderfoot
Badges. Dick Mueller received his
2nd Class pin and Rodney Sprott,
his 1st Class badge.
The highlight of the Court of
Honor was the presentation of
Life Scout Pins to Royce Sprott,
Morris Green and Jerry Green.
The Life Scout rank is just one
step away from Eagle, so these
three Scouts have nearly reached
the top of their Scout Training.
Miniature pins of all ranks
awarded, were presented to the
mothers of each Scout.
The Court of Honor opening
was a very fine presentation by
Rodney Sprott and Jeff Zickler
of the meaning of two points of
the Scout Law—a Scout is Trust-

Jeffery, Dick Mueller, Rob San-

son. Randy Alanis and Gary
Daniels, Tenderfoot Scouts, and
three youn gmen, Dan Sandidge,
Tommy Wedgworth and Butch
Munsch, who are not old enough to
become members but like the
Scouts so much that they attend
the meetings so as to learn how
to become scouts.
The Court was closed with the
Troop singing the Scout Vesper
Song and the Scout benediction
by Richard Evans. We wish to
thank everyone for helping make
this another successful Troop 146
Court of Honor.

The Bandera Home Demonstra-

delicious food and not a crumb was
left. The ladies of the county are
working hard to raise funds fori
a building at the Ag Center, where
facilities will be available for
serving meals during stock shows,
and having a place for many other
activities for the county. The
proceeds from the sale of the
food went into this fund.
With September 2, 1962, the
deadline for making another pay-
ment on the Medina Children’s
Home land, an extensive drive is
underway for funds. With the
remaining balance due on the land
payments for the Home, something
under $15,000, the trustees are
working toward paying it off.
Each year the drive has brought
in enough to make the necessary
payment

thirty-eight boys and girls being
cared for, and an extensive build-
ing program going on to provide
facilities for admitting more chil-
dren. It is one of the Hill Coun-
try’s most worthy projects and
the progressive and kind hearted
people of the Medina community
are to be most highly compli-
mented.

nation to the Land Fund may do

ment, Medina Children’s Home,

FIRES PLAGUE BANDERA
The Bandera Fire Department
was very busy here Monday with
four calls to grass fires and one
to a house, the old C. B. Corley
residence on Delightful Hill, which
was completely destroyed. The
rseidence was vacant and the fire
developed from an unknown source.
All of Bandera is a fire hazard
with the many unkept vacant lots
which are covered with tall dead
grass and weeds. Bandera should
clean up and eliminate this hazard,
which could destroy homes and
property.
