A phone call at 465 or a visit to Pollock’s Jewelry Store will be appreciated, it is said. Tickets may be bought from “your favorite policeman or fire- man”, Mr. Pollock said. Individual contributions may be made directly to Bascorib Grooms, president of the Key West Electric Company. “The mayor, The Citizen, the merchants are all cooperating in this very necessary campaign”, Mr. Pollock said, “and we are hoping the general public will help by attending the dance and sending in their individual con- tributions. Key West is at a turn- ing point. Its future is bright and we are hoping to make its White- way bright.

No Iam not the father of the Boy Scouts. I might be called its uncle!” Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton and a number of ladies or- ganized the Fire Girls of America at a luncheon. From this group sprang the Campfire Girls. The pame “scout” is derived from that dashing picturesque | crowd, Daniel Boone, Simon Ken- ton, Davy Crockett, Kit Carson, who were known as scouts. The word “tenderfoot” is essentially an American word taken from the cowboys of the western plains and applied to the eastern cattle shipped west, whose feet became sore because of the rough nature of the soil. From that the natural step was to call the new- comers, or greenhorns, tender- feet. Scoutegas applied here is purely American, tenderfoot is purely American and coined in America. : The Boy Scout hat is of that date, and the handkerchief is that used by the cowboys of the period and still worn by the present day cowboys.

They are the adult moth, buf- falo moth, silver , black ¢ar- pet beetle, bedbugs, roach, flea and house centipede, he said. There is no use in one breaking his neck trying to kiH the moths when they come out and fly} around a light, Mr. O’Sweeney explained to his hearers. Those moths are just seeking a quiet place to die, having lived out their lives. It is important first to have a clean home free of dirt and dust, which to the baby moth is like milk to the human baby.
