Trip The Boy Scouts of Wes/t End returned from their educational and pleasure trip to Washington, D. C., on July third. The troop left Newberry on Friday, June 27 and went by Columbia and Cheraw over to Portsmouth, Va. They crossed over the Elizabeth River to Norfolk, then across the Hamp ton Roads Ferry to Newport News. This trip gave the scouts a great thrill as they saw many ships of various kinds and from many different countries. From Newport News they went to Yorktown and then to Williamsburg, where they spent several hours and took in most of the interesting places, includ ing the first church in this re stored Colonial Capital. Next to Jamestown where they saw the ferry and the historical points there. This ended the first part of the tour and they went from there to Richmond where they got back on U. S. highway No. 1, and then on in to Washington. While in the capital city they stayed at the Washington Tourist camp. In Washington the whole troop was taken through the capital build ing by Butler B. Hare and Lon nie Franklin, which the boys enjoyed very much. Other places visited while in the capital were the Zoological park, Washington cathedral, Congressional Library, Union station, the White House, Ar lington cemetery, and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, jmd witnessed the changing of the guard. The trip included a boat ride to and from Mout Vernon, the Washington monument, Lin coln and Jefferson memorials and much of their time was con sumed at the museums. The trip through the FBI building was one of the high lights for the Scouts as they had a tour personally planned by Mr. Edgar Hoover with a special trained guide for just such groups as' Boy Scouts. This guide was from Savannah, Ga., and took great delight in show ing the Scouts through the building and lecturing to them about various interesting things. He told them that he had been a Scout when a boy in Savan nah. He explained to the Scouts in many ways that crime does not pay and that the training Scout ing is a great help in our coun try. After leaving Washington the trip home included the ride over the skyland drive and the Shenandoah national park and valley. A trip over to New Market and the Endless caverns and down to the Natural bridge which the Scouts saw at night by electric lighting. There were twenty-five scouts and three leaders, including Scoutmaster Dewey Kinard; as sistant Scoutmaster Bob Davis, and Malcolm Kibler, who drove the bus. The boys showed that they greatly appreciated Mr. Kibler going with them, giving up his own vacation to drive them on their trip, by present ing him with a nice bed spread and rug. The Scouts were sorry that Allen Oxner, who had planned to be with them, could not go on account of illness. The Scouts wish to take this means to thank the Newberry Textile mills and other citizens including Z. F. Wright, W. W. Aultman, Eugene S. Blease, Layton Bros., Harry Dominick, Ronnie Templeton and the three churches of West End for making this trip possible. Contributed.
