Mrs. Ruth Bathiany, owner

the tree while she was away
on a visit during the recent
cold weather.

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

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.
