I am a 12-year old Boy Scout from Troop 97. I am writing to you from Camp Daniel Boone near Canton, N.C., for my Communications Merit Badge. I have read your paper and think you have a well-written paper.

Sincerely,

Michael Wilson Magaha

P.S. Happy Fourth of July

-------

I am a Boy Scout and I am not a very good speller, so sorry.

I am working on my Communications Merit Badge. I am from Anderson, and I am at Camp Daniel Boone summer camp. I am working up to my Eagle. I am now Second Class. I am working on five new merit badges at camp and they are: First Aid, Space, Citizenship of the World, Citizenship of the Nation and Communications.

For the Communications Merit Badge I have to read the newspaper five days in a row, so I will be reading your newspaper.

Your friend,

John Gautsch
