H TWO HUNDRED SCOUTS H FORM IMPRESSIVE LINE H Lads Express Awe and Admiration for Wonderful Zion Canyon H and Credit Committee With M Abundant Friendly Hospitality. M Tho Salt Lako Scout Caravan camo H and has gone. More than ,two hun- ' H drcd strong, the invaders from tho H metropolis swept into our city Tucs- H day evening, took tho mayor prisoner, H dictated terms to tho city council, H requisitioned ham sandwiches, baked H beans, cheese, pickles and ice cream 'H ad lib, and settled down to n joyous H celebration of their victory. H Their camp was pitched on tho B. H A. C. campus, where tho Relief So- H ciety, assisted by tho beekeepers of H tho Cedar swarms of Beehive girls ' H and tho local scouts, had spread a H meal for tho visitors. The army was H hungry. Thoy had cooked their own H breakfast that morning. Whether or H not they had eaten what thoy cooked, H thoy did not say. hen, too, they H had had a long, hard, utterly delight- H ful day. It was considered good mill- H tary strategy for the scout who had H finished his plateful of foddor to hide H tho plate, brush tho crumbs off his H more or less Bunbumt chin and line up H with a brand new appctito for another H helping. ,H It did the motherly Relief Society ladies' hearts good to note the pop- .'H ularity of their eatables. ' For, M womanliko, they laid it all to tho t superior cooking. So everybody was jH happy, for the visitors were as wel- IH come as they were hungry and tired. M The music furnished by tho local band " " was no little Jjclp toward the pleasure Of tho occasion. I M Tho admirable behavior of the boys, ,M their prompt, soldierlike response to M bugle calls, nnd general air of cour- ,M tcsy and fellowship won tho unboun- M ded praise of all who met and mingled H with thorn. Perhaps tho two ends of M the stnto of Utah have never before M been so closo together in spirit and M understanding as they were at that fl hour. The boy scouts of Salt Lake- .H nro an honor to their organization and fl to their city, and it was a privilege - M and a pleasure to meet them nnd cheer !M them on their way. Not a little ad- H miration is due them for the game,- M ncss with which they endured the un- M accustomed hardships of camp life. M After tho moal a short program H was given. Mnyor Swapp spoko M briefly on behalf of Cedar and there M were talks by Scout Leaders Taylor, M Hammond, nnd Mathews, and by tho ' noted California!), Dr. Georgo Whar- h'M ton, James, who among many other I'l things has written what is probably M the most vivid, truthful and nearly ' adequate description of the Grand - canyon of the Colorado that has been M penned, to dnte. M Probably tho most popular feature H of tho closing program wan the sing- H ing of, "There's n Long, Long Trail ' A-Winding", "When the Boys Como Homo", nnd "Keep tho Homo Fires H Burning" by a Chorus of tho leaders ' H of the visiting scouts. H After the brief program a dnnco H wns given in honor of tho visitors in. H tho college building, whero tho young ' H and thoso who felt young enjoyed tho H evening together. H Through tho courtesy of the College "H organization, tho B. A, C. lavatories H wore at the disposal of the camp and , H nil possible was done for the comfort jH and convenience of tho guests. ' H Next morning the caravan lined up H on Main street, where a movjng pic- H ture was taken of the departuro from H town.
