In the annual report. submitted by Scout Executive Edward L. Shaw, many problems confronting the or- ganization were presented in detall. and a most encouraging outlook far the coming year was given by the official. It was shown that the turnover of scout: ters is one of tha major probl that face the scout or- ganizations throughout the country, it being severely felt in Washington, beczuse of the transitory nature of the popuiation. In spite of the situation here, how- ever, Mr. Shaw said that it is en- couraging to know that of all cities in Washington's population class the Windsor Side Chair with flag seat and extra sup- gorting spindle at the back.
