Scouts Rally Set At Salem. Over 450 to Meet at Armory for Annual Spring Exhibition i A Box Scout rally with the 18 troop of the Cherry City district participating will be the high light of Scout events this spring for the 450 scouts and scouters of Salem and environs. This has been set for Friday night, April 4, at the Salem armory, according to Gardner - Knapp, chairman of the general committee. The troops are busy these days choosing their various teams for the competitions. The eight num bers on the program of competi tive events include those of skill as well as . for fun and action. There will be relays such as the 'Pony - Express" where one rider rides seven "horses" in succession changing from one to the next without touching the floor. There will be some fast work and keen competition in making fire by friction by the flint-and-steel and the bow-and-drill methods. Precision Called For Mental alertness and precision will be called for in the "O'Grady Drill" contest. Sending messages by semaphore, wig-wag and blinker takes skill and quick thinking. The compass relay con test demands a sure knowledge of the points of the mariners com pass.' And so it goes through the knot-tying competition, ending with the fast moving and tricky "chariot" race. The doors will open at 8 p.m. with a large and varied list of interesting exhibits of scout handicraft and other phases of scouting activities. At 8 pjn. the floor will be cleared for the grand entry parade of all the Scouts and their leaders, with flags flying as they march onto the big floor. Then there will be an interesting action demonstration by the Sea Scout Ship "Willamette," followed by the competitive events pro gram.

The new Pearce building com pares favorably with many of the fine stores and specialty shops throughout the country 'and particularly-in the metropolitan cen ters of the east, where Carrara structural glass and glass blocks have become highly popular with architects, contractor! and build ing owners both for new con struction . and the modernization of older buildings. Perhaps the greatest advantage of Carrara glass is it's perpetual smart appearance. The colors never fade. The: installation is permanent. The initial construc tion is the only cost It is very easy to clean and keep sparkling ly new. HomebuQders are also recog nizing the advantages of color combinations and other features in Carrara glass. Many new homes today have Carrara glass walls in their bathrooms and kitchens.
