National Hey Scouts of America , of
which President William II. Taft is
honorary picMdent and Colin H. Liv
ingstone of Washington president. In
fact , orders have been received by lo
cal Scoutmaster A. O. Hnzcii from
headquarter ? In New York city to or
ganize a local council , which is first
necessary before the local scouts can
bo regularly Installed as members of
the national organization.
The Norfolk scouts have supported
themselves for the past year and what
printed instructions they have receiv
ed have been purchased by the local
boys themselves. More books are ne
cessary and the young scouts arc
badly in need of regulation uniforms
for which they have already made
application.
Mr. Ilazon Is preparing a list of
representative citizens to serve as
members of the local council. Differ
ent creeds and sects are to be recog
nized and all the organizations deal
ing with boyhood arc to bo represent
ed. Among the sources from which
Mr , Hazen will endeavor to select a
member of ( ho council will be civic
authorities , boys' clubs , charity asso
ciation , public schools , Sunday
schools , church clubs and associations ,
social workers , medical societies , bus
iness and professional men , police
force , fire department and military or
ganizations. Constitutions and by
laws are to be adopted by this comv
HI and forwarded to the national
headquarter ! ' . *
In the instructions received bj
Scoutmaster Hazen it is declared that
the public should bo made aware ol
the fact that the boy scout movement
is not antagonistic to any civic enter
prise , but rather seeks to co-operate
In all good movements in the interesl
of the boy. The movement is non
sectarian and plans to work with ov
cry sect and creed alike. It is non
military. It seeks to promote peace
scouting and educational charactei
building for good citizenship. It is
iionpartisan. It cannot favor one Interest
torest against another and canno
countenance interference in any debatable
batable questions , whether social o ' :
political. It seeks to make the boy :
more useful and appreciative son to hii
parents or to those to whom be owe :
his home comforts.

Clear , soft , warm water will be fu :
is nlshed the Y. M. C. A , swimming poc
free by the Norfolk Electric Light an
Power compnny. E. A. Bullock , pros
dent of the company , declares thr
30,000 gallons of this water is goin
to waste at the light plant hourly an
ho will allow the Y. M. C. A. to tak
It and use It for the swimming pool I
the now building , when that structur
IF completed. All that Is necessar
for the Y. M. C. A. executive commi
too to do is to make arrangements t
lay a plpo and lead the water to th
building. This will not cost nine
money. It Is said.
The executive committee favors ai
coptlng Mr. Hullock's offer and the
believe much money can be saved 1
this way.
A visit to the light plant shows tin
the water is clear , soft and warm-
about 100 degrees and If piped to th
e , Y. M. C. A. building would lese enl
about Z degrees of heat , it Is said. The
water Is cart led and pumped through
a private plpo from the Northfork
river to the- light plant. After its
work through the comlonser in the
plant , the water Is allowed to escape
into the sewers at the rate of 30,000
gallons hours. It Is estimated that
this water could be delivered Into the
swimming pool with the aid of a
small pump and pipes. This'would bo
much cheaper than heating the water
at the building.
