Program of Entertainment Given At Standard Theatre. Live and keen interest was shown at the regular meeting of the Athena Boy Scout Troop, at Scout Hall, January 19. A business meeting, games, signaling and drill were en tered into. Twenty-two Athena boys are work ing on scouting, of which thirteen are registered “tenderfoot.” Several are ready for their second class tests. At a recent meeting plans were advanced for raising finances to liquidate troop expenses, and a com mittee comprised of Stafford Hansell, John Kirk and the Scoutmaster was appointed to confer on the matter and report at the next meeting of the scouts. The report as suggested and approved was to put on a “parent's night” program at the Standard Theatre. The Athena troop has secured the cooperation of the Blue Mountain Council executive, and in addition to the proposed program, a high grade scout motion picture and news reel, will be features of entertainment. The general public will be asked to attend the entertainment, while scouts and boys interested in scout ing are expected to be present. Scouting principles, points of inter est to parents of scouts and pros pective scouts, and subjects of gen eral interest pertaining to scout work will be explained. At the scout meeting last night, Dr. Cowan was on the program to give the scouts instruction in first aid work; M. I. Miller in charge of the games and recreational work, and Dr. Geyer in charge of the “tender foot” tests. The scouts are very much interest ed in arrangements made recently which gives them access to the Y. M. C. A. swimming tank at Walla Walla. Tomorrow scouts who may be able to go, will be taken through the Whit man college museum, between the hours of 4 and 5 p. m.,, and after ward for a swim at the “Y.” The next hike will be a “signal hike,” and it is expeced that several troopers will be able to use a sema phore code by that time. The local troop committee and businessmen have heartily boosted and cooperated in making the troop a success. The boys have a fine place to meet, have recreational and scout equipment of the very best, and are now firmly entrenched for their work. Mr. Hawley, Boy Scout Executive of the Blue Mountain Council, who was in Athena yesterday afternoon assisting the local scout officers in their problems, addressed an assembly of high school and eighth grade pupils at the high school auditorium.
