EVENT IS MUCH LAUDED
Appropriate, Patriotic Finale
Is Impressive Conclusion
to Show
All wbo attended the Salem arm
ory last night as guests of the Salem
Elks' came away with a broader idea
of Just what tiie Apierlcan Boy
8cout movement means to young
America, and' also what the Elks
' mean when they undertook to be bis
brothers to the Hoy Scouts of Salem.
Take them all in alii the Elks are
"just grown up Boy Scouts themselves
and with them behind the Souts suc
cess is certain in anything the Scouts
undertake. J
The program that the EJks gave
last night was. a huge success and
the armory was filled with people,
everyone of which wen$ away singing
the praises of those who took part.
" The Elks quartet gaVe several se-
r lection and for a time it looked as
ther's fruit rake, "the more we got.
the more we wanted."
Bertha Clark, with her whistling
solo, made a decided hit. and don't
b Mir prised if you find your own
or your neighbor's Hoy Scout prac
ticing' some of her selections.
T.iat Elks band! When it played
that Jazz music it looked as if the
chairs would be pushed aside and the
whole affair turned into a dance.
Everybody wanted to hear more of
that band- May June and Elks state
convention come around quickly r.o
Salem will have that pleasure.
Mrs. V. Calton Smith's first ren
dition was "Four-leaf Clover." a
beautiful song by Ella Higginson. j
Her second song was "Dear Little
Boy of Mine." and Mrs. Smith's
handling of it was exceptionally well
done, bringing out all the sentiment
that wonderfully beautifully song af
fords. Mrs. A. A. Schramm was her
accompanist.
Miss Von Behren gave a reading
of Elliott MeBride's humorous classic
"Day Says So Anyhow." in which she
led a country bumpkin up to the
point of popping the question. It
pleased the audience very much, es
pecially the married folks, who will
never forget their own experiences
when raying those fateful words.
E. Cooke Patton with his mysic
arts and sciences had the spirits all
out in full force last night. He must
use a Ouija board. When he made
eggs and coins appear and disappear
everyone thought he was just clever,
but when one o his assistants drank
a glass o water Houdini Patton with
one just naturally had to believe.
Claud Stevenson took everyone to
the Latin quarter where Italian op
era was served with variations. The
only thing missing was the spagettl
and one could rasily imagine that.
George Halvorsen gave a Jour
minute talk on the Boy Scouts in
France, how they did tlieir bit for
their country in the world war.
Walter A. Icnton gave a talk on
the "Hoy Scouts of America." and
what th Hoy Scouts of Salem are do
ing and what they plan to do. They
have a membership of 250 at pres-1
eut. but Mr. Denton says their aim
is to have HK0 members uext year
at htis time.
The presentation of Salem Boy
Scouts which followed Mr. Denton's
talk showed what the Scouts will do
for the American boy.
Never was a more manly set of
chaps reen than those presented last
night, and as they formed rank and
reputed their Scout oath a huge
American flag was dropped behind
them, the lights iurned out and
flares lighted behind the flag, mak
ing an appropriate finale.
The moving picture "Knights of
the Square Table" made especially
for the Boy Scouts was worth going
miles to see. and would have to be
seen to be appreciated.- It shows the
difference between the boy with
.Scout training and one who as Topsy
said. "Just Crowed lp."
