The troop | is located at the Newington Home tor Crippled Children, and all its members are boys who are patients at that institution. Several of the scouts in the corps can get about, either with or without crutches, but others are unable to do so and one of the buglers is confined to a Wheel- chair. One drummer s so weak that he must rest his hands on his drum While he plays. " Despite their seemingly insuper- able physical handicaps, these youngsters remain supremely cheer- ful. They have been able to pass many of the scouting requirements and have gone into the bugle corps with a ‘spirit which is remarkable. The corps is being directed by Act- ing Scoutmaster Frank Boardman and Bliss B. Clark, both members of Troop 4 and former members of the now defunct Boy Scout bugle corps | of this city. Under their coaching, | the Newington boys have been prac- ticing twice a week for the past five weeks and have made remarkable | strides, any lack of finished playing is more than made up for the un- quenchable spirit. They are keved to a high pitch over their first ap- pearance and can hardly wait for the chance to prove their abillties. The players will be brought over to New Britain Saturday afternoon in a motor truck. They will be placed in the grass on the fleld where the meet is to take place and | will give briet concerts before and after the events. They have two corps pleces, “Semper Fidells” and “Five Years,” and a drum solo. There are 11 youngsters in the organization. The buglers are Wil- bur Olson, Patsy Favida, Salvatore de Gregario, Kenneth Penney, Ralph Johnson, Arthur D'Amato and John Sacowitz. Gordon Whitney, Willlam Hafe and John Battazia rattle the snare drums, and Walter Makuch pounds the big bass drum. On Saturday, June 10, the New- ington troop will hold its first annual ot dog roast on Newington moun- tain. Members of Troop 4 have been invited and will provide several stunts. Scout Executlve Oscar A.| Erickson will also be their guest on | that date. The executive is unstint- | ing in his praise of the work being| done by Boardman and Clark. | | college, {FLASHES OF LIFE:- TWINS BORN WHILE PARENT REVISITS HONEYMOON PLACES By_the Associated Press.
