When Scoutmaster Rene Paquette read in his favorite morning newspaper yesterday that two Willimansett Boys were lost on a hunting trip near Blanford, he figured the circumstanced provided a timely opportunity to drill the scouts in Troop 138 in compass reading, when they met last night in St. Rose de Lima in Aldenville. "Pick a point on a compass and walk in that direction" Scoutmaster Paquette told his charges "and sooner or later you will reach a road or a stream. Follow down stream is a good rule." The scouts hearing the advise are from the left: Roland Boutin, Senior Leader Leslie Fournier, Explorer Scout Richard Viens, and Dan Parker.
