Boy Scout News
Troop 5 met at ' St. Mark's
Parish - Hall Wednesday eve
ning. Highlights of the evenirjg
was an interesting and educa
tional talk on the intricacies
and general use of a pocket
compass. The speaker was F. G.
Whitney, assistant supervisor of
the U. S. Forest Service here.
He told of the use made of the
compass by foresters and log
gers and warned that while a
compass needle always pointed
to magnetic north, the instru
ment was not complete in itself
but needed certain knowledge
on the part of the user.
Mr. Whitney has promised to
return to the troop at a future
date and give information on
map reading.
After the talk plans were
made for all troop members
who could to participate in the
overnight hike sponsored by Dr.
