All types of badges will be awarded up to and included the Eagle, which is the most coveted badge in the boy scout work.

Earnest effort is being made by the members of the various troops as well as the scout committees to get out a large crowd for the event. Tickets are being given to the scouts' friends, these tickets to be presented at the gate and the troop that has the largest representation in the audience will receive recognition by the committee.

Exhibition by Anaheim Drum AMERICAN LEGION AGAIN TAKES UP PLANS FOR FETE ON NOVEMBER 11 Instructive Lecture on Finger Printing Enjoyed by Members At Monday Meeting The meeting of the Anaheim Post of the American Legion last Monday night proved very interesting to the members attending due to the fact they all learned what finger printing meant to all who had been in the army and thus identified. Sergeant Hildebrand of the Los Angeles police department was the speaker at the post and gave a very detailed and illustrated lecture on this mode of identification. He showed with slides the various types of indentures and lines which were absolutely individual and told by means of an actual story and with pictures how easily facial features might be nearly exactly the same while the finger prints were entirely different. He told of a man who had been arrested and the photographer asked if he had not been in jail before. The man, a negro, steadfastly maintained that he had never been in prison. The identification bureau searched the files and found photographs which the man admitted as being him, but when the finger prints were compared they were found diametrically opposite types. Sergeant Hildebrand also told of an identification of a man burned to death and beyond recognition whose family was located with the aid of the war department finger print records, the City Park Anaheim June 20, 1935 Lt.

He warned that the great danger is not. In numbers of communists in this country, but in their insidious propaganda.
