Notwitl standing many agements, the W P.A. project for a swimming pool and outdoor dancing pavillion on the large tennis courts at the Lincoln High School promises to become a reality soon. The project was approved by the Administration in Washington some time ago, but no money was set in the project for material. It looked like the project would fail for that reason. The Alpine School District sponsored the project, but stated that it was unable to help with money because it was no, primarily a school enterprize. Officers of the SCERA organization got busy at once upon learning the situation with the following results: Secured from the Presiding Bishops office of the L.D.S.

Mr. Boyce told him where he wanted to go and the boy saluted and said, Come With me, sir," and he began to take Mr. "Boyce to the desired spot. Mr. Boyce, being a typical American tourist, reached in his pocket for a shilling to give the boy. The boy promptly replied, No, sir, I am a Scout. Scouts' do not accept ips for courtesies. The man was very much surprised and asked again what the boy had said. The Scout repeated and then added Dont you know about Jhe Scouts? No my lad, tell me more about them. The Scout was very glad to tell him about Scouting and after explaining the Scout movement to Mr. Boyce, he offered to take him to the Scout office. Jdr. Boyce completed his errand and with the aid of the Scout was directed to the office of Lord founder of the British Boy Scout Association, where information about the Scout movement was gladly given. Mr, Boyce was tremendously impressed and gathered all the information that he could and brought it back to the United States. The following year, on February 8, 1910, Mr. Boyce and others interested in the welfare of boys and citizenship of the United States, formally incorporated THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA. This dty is observed every year as the birthin the United day of Scouting States. From this Good Turn to a stranger it brought Scouting to America and to the millions of American youths. The news of the Boy Scout work in England, and the starting of the Missionary Course Started In Sharon The past two Sundays several young men and young women have enrolled for the missionary course which has been inaugurated in our stake. Frank J. Perry of Pleasant View ward has been called as instructor, and under his able guidance many potential missionaries will be more prepared for this important work iflien the call comes to go into the mission field. Sorrowful moments have been spent by many missionaries who have arrived in the field without knowing much of the work. Sensing this, the church has come to our aid and our Stake Presidency are offering once more to help us over these hard spots by putting over a course of actual training for the work. 42 lessons comprise this years These lessons having been prepared by the church authorities and are missionaiy fundamentals Attempt will be made to outline subjects so one will be able to do this more satisfactorily and also to memorize the scripture Suitable songs are also chosen and sung by the group to lead up to the subject to be outlined. A group of fine young people are already going and all who are intending to enroll should do so at once so they may be instructed from the start. Those who have taken the course in pari years have had some good times, and we anticipate many hapthis year. py The parents of students who are having trouble are inv:ted to consult with the teachers at the follow-intimes and places: Miss Grow, room 26, 11 to 12.
