SCOUTS INVADE CHILKOOT BARRACKS:
f
Cliilkoot Barracks were captured at 5:30 yesterday afternoon by a landing
parly of 26 boy scouts from Juneau, who sailed boldly into Mission Cove on the
MS* harbor Boat Fornance and landed in the face of a heavy barrage of welcome.
The boys immediately marched 'Go the Company F mess hall, where they
took possession by divine right of boyhood, and appropriated some three helpings
each of beef, spagetti, potatoes, coffee bread, and tomatoe soup which Hess 5gt.
nallett and Cook Price had provided as a peace offering*
Following dinner, the boy3 unloaded their baggage from the boat, and were
given a lesson in making up their army cots by Private First Class Archibald N.
McLeod of the Recreation Service of this post, After the bunks had been made to
satisfaction, with a neat stack of blankets under each pillow and not a wrinkle
showing, Bugler Nyberg, of Company F, played for them all the bugle calls they
would hear during the following day, and the Education and Recreation officer,
Captain R.C .Y/right, explained the meaning of each call. Hess call impressed itself
without much explanation. Scoutmaster H. L. Redlingsiiafer, who lead3 the scouts,
and Assistant Scoutmaster Harry Sperling, made it clear that the boys would be
expected to rise at the boom of the morning gun (6:3)0 a.m.) and that lights would
go out in the sleeping quarters promptly at tatfoo (9:30 p.m.) after which there
would be no noise permitted in the barracks and sleep would be the order of the
day — or rather night.
A short tour of the post followed, and Captain Y/right, on behalf of the
Commanding Officer, Major F, H. Maddox, offered the boys full use of the post
gymnasium, with its horses, climbing ropes, horizontal bars and other apparatus,
as well asthe post library, the privelege of making purchases at the post exchange
and the freedom of the post in general. The ball diamond proved of interest, as
the boys have organized two ball teams, as soon as the tour was completed, the
youngsters god out their ban gloves and the rest of the evening was spent aJ
baseball practice in front of the barracks. Lie first day*s program in-(next page)
