Boy Scouts Organize
An organization of a troop of Boy Scouts of America was effected here
Monday evening of last week when executives of the Parkersburg area were
present and addressed a number of those interested in the movement.
The troop will be in charge of Harry A. Holliday, well known young oil
and gas operator, who has volunteered to act as Scoutmaster for the boys.
He is a first class young man in every respect and parents will be glad
to know that their boys are under his leadership.
Other officers for the organization are Hagan Johnson, president, J.A.
Jackson, vice-president, R.L. Hamilton, secretary-treasurer. The
executive committee is composed of Lynn S. Oles, chairman, H.W. Haught
activities, Frank H. Ferrell education, Jerome A. Francis secretary-treasurer,
Rev. C.C. Jarvis chaplain.
A finance committee has been appointed to raise the necessary funds
for the organization and another meeting will be held Monday, May 11th,
for the purposes of completing organization work. |
