Large Crowd Out
For Scout Circus
Most every Boy Scout has two
pareata and many of them have a
few brothers and sisters. There
probably were not more than three
spectators to each participant at
the Cascade Area council's annual
circus on Sweetland field Satur
day night but since about 800
scouts took part, that would make
a crowd of z 400 or so.
The program went off with a
minimum of delays. Some thrill
ing highlights were the "rescue at
sea" staged la lifelike fashion by
the Sea: Scouts, and the "winning
of the west" pageant which gave
hundreds of boys opportunity to
show their skill In innumerable 1
outdoor arts and crafts.
Proceeds of the circus will be
devoted to improvement of Camp
Pioneer, center of summer outings
