SCOUTING NEWS ‘Troop 253 under the leadership of Scoutmaster Tony Martinez, en- camped at West Summerland Key over the Thanksgiving Holidays. Troop No. 389 of North Miami un- der the leadership of Arthur August Scoutmaster, joined Troop No. 253 for the holidays. Troop No, 54 n- der the leadership of Scoutmaster Joe Robers also encamped at Camp Jackson Lee Sawyer. Swiming was enjoyed by the har- dy souls who did not mind the chilled waters in the pool. Fish- ing was very profitable and enjoy- able. The men and boys,of 389 caught approximately sixty pounds of edible fish. Tenderfoot tests were given by the Scoutmasters to Can- didates attending the encampment, Patrol Leaders and Assistant Pa- trol Leaders gave tests for the sec- ond and first class aspirants. Hikes to all parts of the island were en- joyed and tired hikers enjoyed their Tepasts upon return. eae Scouts did their own cooking in 253’s camp. 389 had the Troop Com- mitteemen to do their cooking; while troop 54 under the leader- ship of Joe Blas assigned differ- ent boys to do the cooking and policing the cooking ware after the meal. All enjoyed the food and to date there are no cases of pto- maine poisoning reported! The big event of the encamp- ment was the Campfire Saturday night. Songs were sung; skits were presented, while all prepared for the highlight of the campfire — the initiation! ‘The Royal Order of Si- am” was given to members of Troop :253, 54 and 389 and the ini- tiation was eajoyed by all. After the campfire, some mem- bers of the camping party were given an opportunity to go snipe hunting! Anyone who has ever gone snipe hunting knows what enjoy- ment all had while some were hold- ing the bag! Sunday, all Catholic Scouts were taken in to Marathon for Holy Mass while the Protestant Scouts in 54 went to Marathon to the Communi- ty Church, members of 389 held ser- vices at the camp for their Pro- testant Scouts. Wishing that they could stay longer, all broke camp and headed back to their homes.

Scouts: Sidney Gardner, James New Angle On Pirate Story Makes Film By far the most startling and dra- matic premise for a pirate legend ever printed or filmed, is the basis for the color adventure saga, “Capt. Kidd and the Slave Girl,” starring Tony Dexter and Eva Garbor, a United Artists release to open Sundy at the Monroe Thea- tre. Aubrey Wiseberg and Jack Pol- lexfen, outstanding screen writing and producing team who produc- ed the film in association with Ed- ward Small wrote this unusual story of action and romance on the high seas, which has a shock open- ing in a “what-would-happen-if—” manner, “Capt. Kidd and the Slave Girl” opens with Kidd escaping the gal- lows at Execution Dock in London in 1701, say the authors. ‘And for all we know he might very well have done just that. Two hundred and forty-odd years have not been enough to exhaust the flow of le- gends tied up with this most spec- tacular of all pirates in history. “Our premise may be absolutely correct because little is known of the true facts surrounding Kidd’s meteoric career of infamy, For ex- ample, no act of piracy actually could be proved against Kidd, and few if any fanciers of pirate lore knew that Kidd was a reputable trader and navigator of old New York, publicly rewarded: for dis- tinguished maritime service to the Crown, and generous in lending ma- terials for the erection of the first English church in that city. “How many people know that many other pirates were bloodier than Kidd, and that his backers turned against him and his trial was a pefversion of justice? Who knows that Kidd never made any- one walk the plank and that his most violent act was to discipline a mutinous gunner by hitting him over the head with an eightpenny wooden bucket? “It was the death of this gunner that enabled Kidd’s enemies to press a charge of murder against him and order his execution.” An entire pirate ship, a replica of the type used by buccaneers in 1700, was built by art director Ted Holsopple and a crew of expert craftsmen for high seas sequences jp the color adventure saga.
