VOL. 13—NO. 20 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA,FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1950 + $1.50 PER YEAR SCOUT TELLS OF TRIP WEST (By William Neville) Several years ago a great friend of Scouting, Waites Phil lips, gave his entire ranch, con sisting of approximately 130,000 acres, in New Mexico to the Boy Scouts of America to be known as Philmont Scout Ranch. As an endowment for such a tre mendous gift he gave a twenty- five story office building in Tul sa, Okla. also. Through th^ generosity of another man, Mr. H. Smith Richardson of North Carolina, it was possible for thirty-two boys from Region Six, which is com posed of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, to have the honor of being the third group to go through the Jr. Leaders Training Troop at Phil mont. It was also an honor for Region Six as this was the first group ever to complete 100% this training course. These boys were chosen by their councils, and I had the honof and privilege of representing the Blue Ridge Council. There were four other boys from South Carolina, one from each of the other four councils. Seventeen of us met in At lanta, Ga., and went by express bus to Raton, N. M. We were joined in Amarillo, Tex., by eight othero from Florida. The re mainder of the boys came by other means of transportation or flew from the National Jamboree at Valley Forge. After one night at headquaters, familiarising ourselves with the program, we left for Zastro, our first base camp. From here we visited Kit Carson’s old home which is on the ranch and has been restored by the Scouts into a museum. It is built like a quadrangle with the center open so that in case of Indian at tacks, horses and cattle could be driven into this open yard for safety. It was htre at Zastro that we killed and skinned a rattlesnake and a porcupine. Porcupine meat is good like all wild meat, but unless cooked for a long time, it is very tough. Upon leaving Zastro, we hik ed ten miles to Ajuilla Springs. Tbf next day, we continued our miles farther to Rayado. This hike was our first burro- pack hike, and by the time it was over with everyone was hop ing it would be our last. I was one of the burreros so when the pack would slip, I would have to tie it again. We packed one of those burros ten times in one morning. Here at Rayado is the best fishing on the ranch so most of our time was devoted to fly-fishing in beaver ponds. These beaver ponds proved very inter esting. The beavers make them with mud and logs and the only way you can tear one up is with dynamite. Some of these dams were over my head and others, Just knee-deep. There were well used “log slides” com ing down the sides of mountains where the beavers would skin the logs and then slide them down this chute. From Kayado we walked our usual ten miles to Clear Creek Trail Camp, where we spent the night. This ten miles was pro bably the most beautiful of all, since we walked through thick aspen forests and down across grassy valleys with many colored flowers growing everywhere. The next morning we were going to hike to the top of Clear Creek Mountain to see the sun rise. This mountain is 11,600 feet high and the guides say that there is nothing more beautiful than see ing the sun rise from Clear Creek Mountain. We got up at 3:30 A.M. to start taking down tents, cooking breakfast, and packing those burros; all in the dark. Some of the boys were late getting their burros packed and we didn’t get to see the sun rise, but when we did get to the top, the view was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. On one side, big, red, rock top ped mountains sixty miles away in Colorado; on the other, the plains stretching all the way to Newberry. This time we walked fifteen miles to our next camp, Cimar- roncito. It was here at this camp that I almost sat on a coiled rattlesnake waiting to make a meal of me. But instead, we ended his career with a shovel and then proceeded to skin, tie in a square knot, cook, and eat him. We had fried chicken for that day so we would take a bite of snake and then a bite- of chicken. Both were very good. It was here at Cimarroncito that we went on a two day survival hike with only a hat chet, a sheath knife and two pocket knives for each four of us. We ate grasses, wild animals that you ^ould kill with rocks. We slept on the ground by the fire, and cooked with white hot rocks in hollowed out logs. Our troop was congratulated on being the first Scout group ever to complete this survival course as a complete unit. We left Cimarroncito on a fifteen mile hike only to spend the night and go fifteen miles more the next day to our last camp, Ponil. Here at Ponil we had the only day of horseback riding while in the West We rode out to some Indian writings on rock cliffs, several miles away. These “writings” consist ed mostly of circles, tepees, and stick men; however some re- slembed stagecoaches and wag ons. Then we left headquarters after our buffalo steak banquet the last night, we had seen buffaloes, antelope, deer, beavers, porcu pines, snakes eagles, and many other wild animals. We had slept on the ground and cooked our own meals the entire forty days. Since most of the boys at Philmont were from the North, we were continually being hooted at because of our Southern ac cent, but we would just sing Dixie and keep right on saying «‘Ybuall.” (Ed.

Brown, Chairman of the New berry Agricultural and Commun ity Market Building Commission. The imposing brick structure on Marfin Street, across from the Junior High School, was design* ed by the late Willis Iryin of Aiken and is being constructed by W. Herbert Steifel, contractor of Aiken, at a cost of approxi mately $57,000. C. E. Nappier of North Augusta is superintendent of construction. The aluminum leters on the outside front wall. “Newberry Agricultural Building,” match the aluminum doors leading into tha lobby, which is all constructed of brick. The inside double doors leading into the building are of steel, and much of the building is fireproof. Steps lead from the lobby to the second floor. There is also a side entrance with stairs to the upper floor. Twenty-seven ofices and a large assembly room have been provided to house such agencies as the Farm Security Administra tion, the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, Home Demonstra tion Agent, County Agent, Forest- rv offices.

Natural finished doors and trim add to the beauty of the building. The offices are lighted with flourescent fixtures. On the first floor of the build ing are 14 offices, and a rest room trimmed in green tile with green tile floor. Thirteen of fices are on the upper floor, and a rest room trimmed in yellow tile.

Actual construction began in February and would have been finished, stated Dr. Brown, except for the unavailability of certain needed materials. Dr. Brown stated that the seeming lack of interest was re sponsible for the fact that no ef forts have been made toward the erection of a community market. He urges the citizens of the city and county, who are interested in having a community market, to express their views about this proposed project now.
