Sparetime mania is swapping — "That
snakeskin for nine patches and one necker-
chief slide" ... or what have you? Real
bargain turned out to be exposure to new
faces, accents, lingos, and friendships.

Water conservation was learned from this
working model of Boulder Dam. Experts
from 20 federal and state agencies with
several industries worked two years devel-
oping 30 demonstration stations to send
Scouts home conservation-minded.
"This one? This one means . . And so
we learned about Scouts the free world
over . . . face-to-face, firsthand, ripping
through language barriers . . . to discover
we are really more alike than we are
different.
Hey, how about that! It's done—on one
side. When 50,000 cooks take turns on
shifts in 5,000 patrol kitchens, some sur-
prises are bound to turn up.
A Scout is clean—or tries to be. Sometimes these
things take a peculiar twist, though. (If not the
twist, what is it? Oh, a 20-toed poncho washer!)
Laundry service was available, but this looks like
good clean fun.
What a thrill when the whole
patrol clambers across a
monkey bridge they built in
Scoutcraft competition. Med-
als went to top three patrols
in pioneering, personal fit-
ness, and campcraft.
Logistics, logistics! Eventually it came down
to a couple of guys lugging a case of milk.
But the total commissary operation ("Im-
possible" said experts) involved carloads,
truckloads, before the 30 section pennants
signaled that troop tote boxes are ready.
Breathtaking moment at closing arena show was the traditional
candlelighting ceremony. A dark world, suddenly made light, dem-
onstrated the effect of individual efforts made in concert. Shadows
of the mind and the night were vanquished with this act of faith.
