Boy Scout's Good Turn Becomes Gentlemen's Reply
A story narrated by Colin H Livingstone president of the Boy Scouts of America describes a newspaper seller aided by a boy scout who returns her papers.

A later fragment recalls a town shaken by an earthquake and neighbors seeking an explanation from Uncle Zack.
