'WILL ' VISIT PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S, GRAVE
Kinloss $ode Sca��s To Have august.
Bins Trip To -Thi City E1� Washington
The decision to take a the Kinloss
Boy Scouts on a bus trip to 'Wash-
ington this August was ' taken at
a Parents' Meeting last Friday
at the. Scout Hall in Holyrood. The
idea of such ' an outing dates back
two years ago , when the Kinloss
boys visited Ottawa and Montreal.;
While . camping at the capitol city,
they became : friendly with . some
American Scouts camped nearby,
As the result of an American in-
vitation at that time. to visit Wash-
ington and an answer ' maybe"
by the Kinloss Scouters, the pre-
sently planned trip has developed.
It is expected about" 30 boys
from both the North and South
Troops will ,inakee ,the: trip. While
only ; boys , 13 and over will • be
going, there will be . a : special
camp in July for the ` younger
boys.
Departure ; time has been set
for Thursday, August 27 with . the
520 mile . trip spread over . two
days. ' This will allow three days
in Washington General touring
around the.' city is planned ' for
'Saturday with visits to the .Cap-
Cap-
itol, White House, President Ken-
nedy's grave and other Washing-
ton landmarks. Sunday `will' have
-- church paradeand visit to an
Atlantic Ocean swimming beach.
On Monday the boys will: visit
the F.B.I. building, the '.Smithson-
ian
Smithsonian Institute • and other museums,
Byr leaving on Tuesday morning
the touring " group. will " arrive
home • on Wednesday,; September
2 to complete a seven day tour
While . in Washington, the.' Kin
loss' group will be the guests of:.
Troop, 83. •of Emory Methodist
Church. It isplanned to camp on.;:
the rear; of the church,property.
The cost of this tri. will be
$20.00 per boy and 525.00 per
adult. As. well as the 30 'Scouts
there will be the '.8 Scout Leaders
and 2 Cub Leaders ' and perhaps
3 or. 4 wives of. ' the 'leaders, •It
is not known as yet just who will
be ' going . for sure but this and
other plans will ., be finalized in
the next two or three months.
This. trip to Washington is a
major . endeavor for the Kinloss
Scouts and should be ' a . very

The Village . Council is :currently
considering the problem posed by

north of the CNR at the • Village

The ,problem is:.practically as

chiefly by complete com the lete disregard

The municipality annuallyspends
varying , sums in bulldozing, ' fenc '

by residents of 'that,• area' to in :

•Therehave been several ideas.
One among them is to close the,
dump ` and secure another ; .loca-
tion, but this isn't , so simple. An •
