Note: The photograph re ferred to in this article may be seen on the second page of the special Scouting insert. Identi fication of those appearing in the picture is shown below the photo.) This is an unusual and signi ficant picture of Boy Scout Troop 69 made about the year 1939 and is being furnished as a contribution to Scouting dur ing its anniversary week. Scout ing in America is now 62 years old. Scouting in Newberry be gan just about a little over two years after it was organiz ed nation wide. In the early part of the year 1913 Scouting had its very first beginning in Newberry. The late Rev. Gobe Smith pastor of O’Neal Street Methodist Church was the first scoutmaster. He was followed bv a man affectionately known as ‘Pap’ Connelly, the grand father of our own ‘Buck’ Con nelly. Later the late Mr. J. Y. Jones was the scoutmaster dur ing World War I. The scouts of that time and during the war worked on what was known as Victory Gardens, helping to raise food They also sold many Liberty Bonds. There are still several men living in Newberry that was a member of that first troop, some of them being Mr. Johnny Wood, Alvin Danielson, Bob Da vis, John Lee ‘Fat’ Mack, Wil liam Johnson, Boyd Robertson. Dewey Kinard and perhaps some others. The troop on the picture is of special interest because of the fact that every scout on the picture became a member of the U.S. Armed Forces dur ing World War II. Two of them have remained in the service and are now among the highest ranking service men from New berry County, they are Colonel Bobby Corley who is Full Ad visor to General Westmoreland in Vietnam and the other is CRIMINAL COURT . . . (Continued from Uage 1) Also Joel W. Dominick, M. Herman Morris, Helen B. Mar tin. Edtih E. Workman, Virgil R. Dehart, John W. Davis, Phyllis S. Thomas, Bettie S. Livingston, Jimmie S. Pruitt, Dorothy M. Minick, and Cath erine M. Metts. Transferred from January term of court was William W. Bedenbaugh, Jr. U.S. Navy Captain Edward Vines stationed in Hawaii and is the Communication Special ist for the Pacific Fleet, he has also served on the Joint Chief of Staff for General Westmore land while in Vietnam and was awarded a medal by the Viet nam Government. It is of special interest that most of the scouts on the pic ture are wearing hats, since then caps are generally worn but the hats are becoming popular again. Troop 69 had 120 former scouts in the armed ser vices during World War II, four having lost their lives, nine wounded and many given spe cial awards. With the excep tion of the two deceased scouts these scouts pictured have made outstanding citizens and made great contribution to state and nation. Episcopalians plan Tuesday pancake supper Plans are being made at St. Luke’s Epsicopal Church for the annual Shrove Tuesday pan cake supper to be held at the Parish House on Tuesday, February 15. The congregation will begin serving pancakes, sausage, bacon, butter, syrup, and coffee or milk at 5:30 P.M. Shrove Tuesday precedes Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, and it was an ancient custom to go to the priest and confess one’s sins and “be shri ven”. Pardon and absolution of sins was received before the beginning of Lent. The day was also known as Pancake Tues day, because the people cooked pancakes to use all of the grease in the house and no meat was to be eaten during the forty days of Lent. In the early church, there was an arduous period of fasting and pentinence in preparation for Easter. WANT ADS HELP WANTED—Plumbers experienced in mobile home work. Apply Lexington Homes, Chapin, S.
