and the patrol

Of the obiections to the scout work
one of the principle ones is the fact
that parents do not want their boys
out at. night. Commi-ioner Dimoud
said. but it was pointed out that any
Scout that was not home by 9:30
leader to the cor-
o'clock should be checked up. as the,
meetings were always over so that
this hour could be kept. The religi-
ous side of the scout work is em-
phasized in the oath and yet no creed
is taught. nor in the case of where
all troup members are of one creed
is there any restraint on the empha-
sis which they might place on that
creed. The other valuable side of
the scout oath is the pledge of alleg-
iance to the country.
This in brief was the outline of the
detailed workings of the scout move-
ment. Now as to the needs. "It is
not fair to the present leaders." Com-
missioner Dimond said. ”to expect
them to carry on this work alone."
Many of these men have given years
of service in this work. starting when
they were able to do much for the
work. and since have assumed fam-
ily duties. and the time has come
when they must. some of them. be
given assistance by others. In fact
the Scout work in Norwalk is prac-
tically with its back to the wall. and
as has been said. must find a gate in
that wall somewhere. That gate will
be found in more lenders. When it
was necessary for Commissioner Piric
McDonald to pass on to others the
work so ably started. a challenge was
put up to those left in charge. This
challenge has been met. as is shown
by the excellent condition of the
work today. and now the challenge
goes out to others to help carry this
work on.
The latest undertaking of the local
boys who have reached the first class
Scout rank is the study of forestry.
As a decided impetus to this new
work in genera] there has been given
to the Norwolk Council. and is being
held by the South Norwalk Trust
Company as 'Strustee. a plot of :8
acres on Nod Hill to be planted to
trees and to be the especial care of
the group of first class Scouts to be

Wake Up, Norwalkl-
Some years ago the general as-
sembly gave the city of Norwhlk
the power issue a $100,000 b nd
issue with hich to construct the
Beaview avenue park.
The Bridge and Park Commis-
sion. that committee which had.
charge of the construction of the
Washington street bridge. has the
power to spend this money.
In view of the Seaview avenue
dump agitation. it has been sug-
gested that the Bridge and Park
Commission might wisely start con-
struction of the proposed park at
once instead of leaving the matter
in abeyande as it has been for some
years.

Hillside Schml Notes
The Hillside School is having its
usual busy spring term. carrying on
the steady preparation for college
entrance examinations but finding
time also for all the lovely outdoor
known as the Pine Tree Patrol. The
donor of this most practical aid to
forestry through the Scout work. and
as a benefit to the country as well,
wishes his name to be withheld. In
closing the speaker again emphasized
the need of new recruits to lead the
many new boys who are eager to join
this excellent movement.
Following the talk by Commission-
er Dimond. other members of the
Scout Council spoke stressing the
following points; work to be well
done must be done by busy men and
women. and that is why it is so hard
to get the right kind of men for
scoutmasters. yet once the right kind
of a man agrees to give some of his
time to the work. it is usually done
thoroughly; the Boy Scout movement
takes the gang spirit present in ev-
ery normal boy and puts it to use for
the benefit of the city in cleaner mor-
als, play. streets and yards; and keeps
that boy out of mischief. making a
good citizen of him. The report was
made that the local boy scouts were
already planning to make war on
the tent caterpillars on local fruit
trees. Another thought expressed
was that the present need of play-
grounds in Norwalk was a problem
kindred to the need of scout leaders
and that as the scout training
taught the boy how to play. it should
give him a place in which to play.
This was followed by an appeal for
vacant property suitable for play-
grounds. and the utilization of these
places before they were all taken for
commercial purposes. Also an ofler
thlngs which belong in the spring.
Those who chance to Visit Prospect
Hill at this time of year find the
Hillside lawn with its lower encir-
magnlficent trees.
Last week the girls celebrated May
Day and Arbor Day with interesting
festivities. May Do! hogan with the
presentation of May baskets and end-
‘ed with an outdoor supper around
the fire and games on the lawn. In
the afternoon. the little pool was
filled for the first time in the season
and formally put into the charge of
the Class of 1924. On Arbor Day.
classes planted trees and 1024 plant-
ed perennial flowers around the pool.
On Saturday of this week. the an-
nual Song Contest will be held at
Hillside. For this contest. competing
groups sing in competition for a nil-
