We waved the Springfield contingent off on one train and the boys of southern Indiana off on another.

Activities aboard the train on the return trip were much the some as those on the wsy out. Trading and swappplng of things accumulated at the Jamboree was a little more serious than before. Whittling, singing, card games of "Dirty Eight," war, cribbage, pUiochle, collecting autographs, contests and just visiting made the trip seem much shorter than it really was. The firm of Buckley, Shelton, Smith and Keck opened a barber shop, shoe-shine, and laundry service in one of the Pullman com- partments. The boys made most of their spending money on the tours from their booming business.

The Troop leader praised the Scouts for their spirit, co-operation, and activity at a meeting the last afternoon on the train. Frank Sampson and Earl Mathiu, leaders at the 1950 Jamboree, told the boys the former group couldnt compare with them. Bill Stubblefield, assistant director of the motor-pool at the Jamboree, was adopted as Troop 27's mascot on the way homo and raised the train's passenger total to 413 Scouts and leaders. In pre-jamborec information, they said the adventure would be "an experience of a life-time."
