Herberl, 414 West Jackson itreet, have returned from a one-week trip to Salinas, Calif., where thry attended a reunion of the Elbeetian Le gion. The Legion is the only alumni group in Scouting and is comprised of en who as boys were members of the Lone Scouts of America. The Lone Scouts were or ganized In 1915 by W. D. Boyce. who brought the Boy Scout movement to the United Statps from England in 1010. He organized the Lone Scout movement in order to reach small towns and rural areas where boys were not being reached by the Boy Scouts. The group also extended to Canada and it wa In Mani toba, Canada that Mr. Her bert became a member. In the year 1924 the Lone Scouts merged with the Boy Scouts, and the Elbeetian Legion membership is made up of men who were mem bers of the Lone Snout pre vious to that year, The organ ization also is considered by the members as a "last man" group, since none but those who hd belonged to the ori ginal Lone Scouls mty Join. It Is believed that in this vicinity there are other men who at one time were Lone Scouts and alumni members are anxious lo contact them. Those who qualify and are in terested are invited to call Mr. Herbert, 773-5732, Med ford. The Lone Scouls had tribes Instead of troops and they had degrees of woodcraft, camping and Indian lore. A badge was awarded upon the completion of a series of tests which comprised a degree "Lone Scout" magazine was founded hy Mr. Boyce as the official publication and the boys had the opportunity of having their writings and drawings printed in the publi cation for which they received merit medals. Some also printed Tribe papers, amatuer publications, and one of these was "Lone Beaver Tribune," puhlished by Charles J. Merlin of Hud son Heights, N. J. Afler the Lone Scouts merged with the Boy Scouts in 1924, the El beetian Legion was an out growth of Mr. Merlin's writ ing to Lone Scout friends, and the name, "Elbeetian." came from the letters, LBT, abbreviation for his publica tion. The Legion alumni group has grown from a member ship of 50 In 1927 to about 875 at the present time. Next year the reunion will be held In Michigan. The Herberts while away were guests in Carmel of Mrs. Happy Boyce Parker, the only living daughter of W. D. Boyce. Boy Scout founder In America, and they also visited numerous points of interest In the Monterey peninsula. Afler the reunion they visited In Soquel, Calif., with Mr. Herbert's nephew. Phil lip Hoxle and his family, and In San Carlos, thry were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wes ley Hoxie, Mr. Herhert's brother-in-law and sister. ., J 1 1 ' UL j Back-To-School ( ,d BEAUTIES for CLASSROOM CUTIES Wa card. illy Invit vti drop nut nw jnrf kftwii through our niilienil taction of tall fracki, Joi ui for cua of caMaa, tea, in tha Rotjua Vallay'B triand liast womtn't thap.

"It is in the home thai the ideals of personal, family, community and church life are established." according to a spokesman for Hie class. "Helping to make the home a Joyful place in which to live can easily becom a part of every girl s life when she lives her Lihoma rode which Is "I will bring the light of Hie Go.pr! into my home by greeting the dav with a song, giving Joy to others and bv serving daily."

Home Accidents Increase Insurance Firms Declare By GAY PAULEY UPI Woman's Editor New York - CKPli - There's no place like home for landing in the hospital. Statistically, accidents in the home outnumber any oth er types of nonfatal mishaps, reports the National Safety Council: The number has shown a gradual decline through the years. But one Insurance company study in dicates the American house holder is still a clumsy oaf, safety campaigns notwithstanding.

More women than ever be- fore are taking tumbles over rugs and on floors, steering into the furniture and the wall mounted can opener, falling down stairs, walking through glass doors. "The causes of accidental injuries of today as compared with 30 yean ago indicate that the space age American is becoming a pathetic tangle fool," said researchers for the Travelers Insurance Compa nies. Travelers took the years 1931 and 1961 for compara tive purposes. It said that in '31, 30 per cent of all its pol icyholders who collected for mishaps were victims of home accidents. By 1961, the per centage had jumped to 44. The insurance company re searchers found that 16 times as many of its policyholders fell on floors and rugs in their homes last year aa did in 1931, most of them female.. Spike heels, maybe? Inanimate objects appear lo be fighting back. Six times as many policyholders collided with furniture, television sets, wall-mounted can openers and the like. Twice as many fell down stairs. Entering and exiting seems to present problems too, for twice as many managed to get caught in doors and windows in 1961 as in 1931. One wo man policyholder in Florida moved into a new house with a glass wall opening onto a patio. She walked out to the patio one day-right through the glass. Bills for medical care ran to $2,785, said the in surance firm. And one policyholder com plained that his false teeth bit him. He'd taken them out of his mouth because they were uncomfortable, tucked them into a rear pocket and forgot about them until he sat down. Just what sporty types ord ered for wearing in college dormitories: knicker pajamas. The loose-fitting, long-sleeve tops and knickers in one col lection were edged in lac. For the dormitory wit: jester pajamas in red flannel. The loose overblouse ends in series of deep points.
