Jim writes, "By early 1944, the United States had been at war for over two years, a struggle with a still uncertain outcome. Nearly all consumer goods were regulated or rationed to some degree or another as the nation poured every available resource into the war effort. Against that backdrop, this mid-February ad for the (J.C.) Marshall Variety Store for ordinary household goods almost certainly generated more enthusiasm than could now be imagined."

Over the weekend while Troop 185 camped at Holmes Bend, they worked on their cooking merit badges. They cooked five delicious meals and two desserts. Even with all of the cooking, they still had time to pick up trash along Green River Lake on Saturday. Enough trash was gathered to fill the bed of a pickup truck. The boys thoroughly enjoyed their community service project! Left to right: Dave Campbell, Xander Makranszky, Jayden Campbell, Isaac Rexroat, Gabe Coleman, Connor Pryor, and Mark Coleman.
