extensive tour of the southland has
been substituted Instead, and nil the
available innervations were quickly
rilled for this latter Journey, the
number who can be accommodated
with Rev. Murphree's trailer and
camping equipment being from six
teen to eighteen boys.
Two years ago, Rev. Murphrce took
his troep on a similar southern trip
and a most wonderful time was had.
v.3 the boys were royally ente.tained
all along the way.
The possibility of making this trip
again this year came about tnru Mr.
Murphree's deoire to take hi3 young
brothe. -in-law, Henry Horton, who
has been in Louisville attending
school, back home, and by combin
ing his own vacation with the trip,
he is able to offer the boys a trip of
nearly 4,000 miles, touching eirjht to
twelve states and lasting approxi
mately twenty claj-3 at a minimum
of expense. As Rev. Murphrce, him
self, was located for many yea.s in
Alabama, it will be a true home-coming
to him and one that he will also
enjoy greatly. He has arranged a
number of baseball game3 to be play
ed between ihe members of his Scout
party and pome of the southern troops
Includirs one near Birmingham over
which he presided as ScruHmaster be
fore coming to the Nebraska confer
ence three years ago and locating at
Louisville.
The party will leave Louisville
ecrly on the morning of July 11th,
going via St. Joe, Kansas City and
St. Louis, thence to Cairo, 111., into
the edge of Kentucky and Tennessee,
and on into Alabama. Neighboring
states will also be visited and the
return route will be in different ter
ritory, so the boys will have oppor
tunity cf viewing a large section of
the industrial and cotton-growing
scuth, as well as many historical spots
dating back to Civil war days.
It will be a great trip and every
one of the hoys privileged to make it,
is most cnthusiastieally bent on bav
in;; a real time.
Resides tho trip through the south
two ytars ago. Rev. Murphrce took
t ho members of his troop on a two
weeks' tour of the Clack Hills last
year, and the Yellowstone park trip
was planned for this year, but post
poned till later date on account of
general conditions and greater motor

Operation of a state-wide system
of citizen vigilantes, pledged to work

ding Nebraska highways of violators
of public safety laws is well under
way reports Friday showed.
To this end between 1,100 and
1,200 representative citizens, scat
tered thru ninety of the state's
ninety-three counties have been
drafted into service. Their names
are kept secret. Their acts, however.
are expected to give wide publicity
to persons who habitually violate
traffic regulations and to aid coun
ty and state authorities in curbing
of violations.
Each of the vigilantes committee
members is charged with the respon
sibility of reporting any violation of
traffic regulations witnessed. Reports
will be addressed to county officials
and to the Nebraska Motor club, Lin
coln, a unit of the American Auto
mobile association.
Violators will be notified of their
violation and of the fact that a per
manent record is kept of the offense.
Prosecutions will ba ordered where
the offense warrants.
Already tho effects of the opera
tion of tha vigilantes committees
have been witnessed, officials of the
Nebraska Motor club state. A num
ber of trucks which have been hab
itually operating on the highways
without clearance lights, presenting
a menace to life of other drivers,
have been notiGed of their offenso

Trucks left parked at the highway's
edge without proper danger lights
are m-aiked and thei drivers warned
against a second offense.
The Nebraska Motor club will act
as a clearing house for all collected
information and its records will be
cpen to tho public in instances
where drivers become involved in
