CUB SCOUTS
Ninon Williams and Louise Pel
letier, den mothers of the on-base
Cub Scouts, were interviewed by
Chief Rich on a special TV pro
gram Monday evening, Feb. 4.
The purpose of this program was
to explain the aims, purpose activ
ities and projects, achievement
awards, and charter of the Cub
Scouts. Mrs. Pelletier stressed the
fact that the Cub Scout outings
were family affairs and also the
importance of the parent in the
Cub Scout program. Mrs. Williams
told how it took a den mother only
a few hours a week to have a suc
cessful pack.
Other facts mentioned were that
the pack meetings are held on the
3rd Wednesday of each month at
7:30 at the all-purpose room of the
on base school and that the posi
tions of den mothers, asst, eubmas
ters, secretary, treasurer, leaders,
and supervisors are yet to be filled
The next meeting, on Feb. 12, will
be held to discuss the charter with
the National Boy Scout headquar
ters, which will expire the last day
of February, for two reasons: num
ber one, to determine how many
scouts and potential scouts there
are on the base; and number two,
to get volunteers as the charter ap
plication requires a full roster of
adults without which the Cub
Scouts will have to disband.

Please Sign Your
Letters To Editor
Effective with next week’s issue,
all letters to the editor must bear
the signature of the writer.
We have at the office a very well
written letter explaining why the
school administration took certain
measures with the signature
“ KHS Student.” We will be most
happy to print it next week if the
author comes to the office and
signs the letter.
We are .publishing one in this
week’s edition because it is a vic
ious malicious attack on the paper
bordering on libel. However, no
more will be accepted without
signatures.
We welcome letters on various
subjects but please sign them if
you wish to express an opinion.
