A BOY SCOUT HIGHWAY
National Body Adopts Lincoln Highway.
Will organize Route and in One Day mark it from Atlantic to Pacific.
The Boy Scouts of America have adopted a National Highway and will now undertake'to educate the rising generation and assist the present day motorists in safe operation of our roads.
At the annual Scout convention, recently held in San Francisco, Scout leaders unanimously approved a plan submitted, whereby The Lincoln Highway would be used for this beneficial purpose. This verdict was later approved by the National Executive Council, meeting in the New York Headquarters, and the work delegated to the National Committee on safety, of which Col. Roosevelt is chairman.
Five boys, selected as the five finest Scouts in the United States, will form part of a caravan which will leave New York City on July 4th and, accompanied by proper department heads, will travel the Lincoln Highv/ay to its western end, at the Golden Gate.
The executives will use a seven passenger Hudson, loaned for that purpose by the Hudson Motor Car Co., through the interest of Mr. Roy D. Chapin, chairman of the Automobile Department of the Boy Scouts and a vice-president of the Lincoln Highway. The truck which will carry the boys and thoir demonstration material has been provided by the R. E. Olds Motor Co. who have kindly donated a 1-1/2 ton Reo Speedwagon.
