"We did not enter into formal
agreements at the meeting," said
Scout Executive G. M. Hoyt. "We
cannot do that until National Field

opinions."
Commissioner Cross has been
wired to come to Omaha by Scout
Executive Hoyt.
"We also must consult with the
Burlington Railway company," con
tinued Mr. Hoyt, "before any defi
nite steps can be taken. The tract
lies close to the railway and we
need the co-operation of the com
pany to put up flagstops in danger-

ings if a road should be built,

permanent paid camp director who
would have to live at the Point.
This constitutes one of the biggest
problems for it would have to be a
man who is well trained in scout
work and who would be a capable
instructor.
"The most wc can hope for for
this fall is a place for hikes. The
river washes logs along the shore
at the tract and the v boys could
make lumber out of these logs and
build their shacks which Would re
lieve the financial situation for the
present.
"We are almost positive that we
will take the tract and use it for
hikes this fall, but outside ofthat
our plans are still very hazy."
