C., a member of the national ex ecutive board of the Boy Scouts of America, and Arthur Schuck, Chief Scouts executive. Also in the scout party were Wes H. Klusman, Howard Pat ton, Guy P. Miller, and Leslie C. Stratton of the National Boy Scout staff. The twelve Eagle Scouts are: Daniel Abbott. Newtonville, Mas- sachusettes; L. Drury Cathers, Gouverneur, N. Y.; George Bar ron.

No smudging was done here, either. Mrs. Ruth Bathiany, owner of the area's lemon grove, a tree about five and a half feet tall, had forgotten all about the tree while she was away on a visit during the recent cold weather. Friday, Lew Frazer, neigh bor, brought one of the ripe ones to the Pilot office. It is somewhat larger than most lemons seen about stores in this area, and deeper orange in color.

OREGON Local Scout Honored By Officials This is a close-up picture of James Vincent, while at break- fast at Washington, D. at which high government officials were present. This picture, part of one fur nished the Pliot by the Oregon Journal, was taken while Jimmy was chatting with Hayden S. Garber, secretary to Representa tive Harris Ellsworth, of Rose burg. At this breakfast Jimmy gave the talk for the 12 scouts, each of which spoke at different occasions. Seen on page five of this issue is a group picture of the 12 Boy Scouts in Washington, with the Capitol in the background. The Pilot, and Ralph Vincent, father, of Jimmy, made every ef fort possible to obtain pictures, especially those taken at the cer emonies before the Statue of Libert, Feb. 12, but so far none have been forthcoming. Ahe ac companying article, however, di rect from national scout head quartel's, was received by the Pilot last Saturday afternoon. Jimmy will be expected to re port on his trip after returning home. He has already promised the Rotary club this honor, since it w'as the club’s sea scout ship he represented. —Picture, Courtesy The Journal THURSDAY.
