Show ISear of ft emits At Valley Forge The following letter came to the Chronicle Sunday, written from Valley Forge on Thursday. By this account Scouts and Explorers from Deseret district have been covering cover-ing much territory in a short time on their way to the national Boy Scout Jamboree. I am sending you seven issues of the Philadelphia Inquirer as it comes out for the next week. It will give you all the highlights of the Jamboree. We got here this morning at 7 a.m. from New York City where we spent two full days. At Chicago we toured the city, visited the planetarium, Stanley Field museum of natural history and attended the opening evening of the Chicago fair. Spent half a day at Ford's Greenfield Village and the evening at Niagara Falls. Toured the Eastman $500,000,000 plant at Rochester. At New York we took a ride around Manhattan Island (35 miles), a four hour bus ride of the city, went up 102 stones, 1250 feet in the Empire State building. Scouts saw a ball game at Yankee Stadium as free guests of the : management, and we toured Rockefeller Center, then an evening at Coney Island. This is rolling country, we have good campang places. Got well set up and then had showers this afternoon, af-ternoon, and the air is cool. Our tents stood it'ok. There will be about 47,000 here by evening. President Truman will speak to us tomorrow. Best wishes, Glen Seegmiller |
