scouts were Joe Bush, Walt Eyrich, Jim and Vernon Feicht, Joe Schaffer, George Bush, Wilbur Schaffer, Leland Seiple, Raymond Taylor, William Weikart and William Dressel. · During those war years, the boys collected and baled waste paper and collected scrap iron for the Grecnford Fire Department. They canvassed the town for books to send to the service men and women during a Victory Book Campaign and were bondaliers in the various War Loan Drives, selling stamps and bonds. As members of the Civilian Defense Corps, they received air raid training. David Roller, a troop member in later years and scoutmaster for 17, says that "living has changed; we would work long hours after school and weekends at jobs, so we didn't have th~ leisure Troop 81 Boy Scouts in 1935 (kneeling, from left) Robert Wentzel, Eugene Huffman, Lowell Cook, Rob~rt time kids today have.

Today we have the spring Paul Less. and fall camporee, Klondike Derby, a one-week summer ttip and one weekend a month at Coy Memorial Park. And every three or so years we take a 4-day early spring trip to Washington, D. C." Paul Stepuk remembers his scouting days in the early 1950s when the troop hiked and worked on merit badges during the meetings, but "high adventure" was one week at Dunn Eden Lake. That's a far cry from the opportunities the boys have now - they canoe and backpack on trails and rivers in their home state and three others. They've trekked the Hoist and Jordan River Trails in Michigan and experienced that state's Au Sable, Manistee, Pine and Pere Marquette Rivers. In Pen­ nsvlvania, thev've walked the Oak Opening, Black ForestJ and Susquehannoc.J k - Trailsi . waterea' along the Allegheny River; and in Kentucky, traversed the Cumberland Gap Trail and the Rock­ castle River. The Cuyahoga Valley, Mischa Mokva Trails and the Burr Oak Trails in Ohio are familiar to Troop 116. The prized trip, though, is the long journey to the 214-square-mile Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, a 20-day stay at the world's largest Boy Scout camp. The troop attended en rnasse in 1984 and 1988, and plan to go again in 1992 or 1993. Ste­ puk says that the Greenford troop is unique, because few councils send an entire group; the Troop 81 Boys Scouts at the 1935 Camp Stambaugh Camporee. Lee Buckman works on a rope knot at far Mahoning Valley Council sponsors only one or l~. . two boys a year, for example. All this travel is paid for by the troop which is self supporting - the 1988 Philmont trip, for instance, was a costly $475 Rer scout, but each boy only had to pay $50 of that because the rest of the money was earned. Between $2,500 and $3,000 is garnered every year through a variety of money­ making projects. They sell Boy Scout community activity calendars, park cars for the Whitehouse Fruit Farm every fa11, and serve suppers for their sponsoring dub, the Ruritans: A major letdown has been the. drop in proceeds fr~m the bi-monthly paper drive the boys have earned out for several years: a ton which brought $35 a few years ago only brings in $2 a ton today. The boys pay $12 a year to belong, and that cov­ ers the cost of their merit badges and a subscrip­ tion to the official scout magazine, Boys Life. Ed Burkey, assistant scoutmaster since 1977, has kept a memento of his scout years in the late 1950s: it's a reminder to his parents to send 50 cents dues and a $1 for insurance for their son for the year. Burkey attributes the troop's longevity to the people in town who spend hours of. their leisure time helping the scouts with their merit badge work - 100 careers are listed in the scout hana­ book. There are three classes of scouts, tenderfeet, second class and first class. In ranks, the Eagle is Members of Greenford's Boy Scout Troop 81, formed in 1934 by the late George McConnell, gather at the the highest, and Burkey says ::nly 2 percent of the McConnell home in Mount Vernon on July 19, 1987.

The community's Coy Memorial Park along Route 165 has been the beneficiary of many of the Eagle projects over the years. The scouts have erected several small pavilions, sandboxes, picnic tables, benches, a scoreboard, a bridge and a horse shoe pit. They've landscaped sections and designed and laid out two walking trails throughout the 50-acre recreational park where the troop holds meetings and camp outs and the site of Saturday's 50th anniversarv celebration.

Did W he drink? And just how honest was he? Thomas Schwartz says he doesn't have all the answers, but as Illinois' "Lincoln answer man" he'll try to find them. From his office in the basement of the Old State Capitol in Sprii:gfiel.d, Ill., the curat?r ?f th~ state's Lincoln Collect10n fmds much of his time is spent not on the collection but in responding to inquiries about the 16th president. It can be a caH from the Australian ambassador i on the accuracy of a quote, a Florida woman ask­ ing about the authenticity of a letter, or a mm1:ie researcher vranting to know all that has been writ­ ten on Lincoln's dialect. Sometimes it can even be a call from one of Pres­ ident Bush's speech writers, as was the case when the White House was preparing for a shift in Bush' no-new-taxes pledge. The speech writer said she wanted to verify a Lincoln quote that was one of Bush's favorites. Bush coufd recall only the phrase "to think anew." About an hour later Schwartz had tracked it down to Lincoln's second annual message to Con­ gress: /1 As our case is new so we must think anew and act anew." By Schwartz's calculation, the 36-year-old histo­ rian has only a 50-50 chance of answering ques­ tions posed to him. ''What's so difficult to do is to ever definitively say, 'No, that's not true,"' he said. "Lincoln was so reticent that you have to surmise, you have to draw a great deal from the very little he said."

By Lois Firestone NE OF HIS EARLY jobs was in his brother O Fred's butcher shop in downtown Cleveland in the early 1920s. Even there, among the dangling slabs of ham and dressed chickens, stage-struck Lesley Towne Hope's yearnings for the splashy, vulgar life of the footlights surfaced. On a stage suspended above the Center Market's vegetable, meat and fruit stalls, Hope, then 17, song-and-danced his way through many a slow afternoon, his amiable patter lightening the day for the other vendors. It was the same at his night job in the service department at the Chandler Motor Car Co. factory - discovering that their foreman was a baritone singer, Hope and two other men got the idea of the four of them forming the Chandler Motor Car Quartet - they recorded their singing on the day manager's dictaphone machine. Other workers, entertained by their renditions of "Apple Blossom Time" and other barbershop tunes, called them "The Crank Case Carusos." Dissatisfied with plucking chickens and taking stock orders, Hope decided to try professional box­ ing, a career which lured boys from poorer fami­ lies. The Cleveland Plain Dealer hosted a Golden Gloves tournament and Hope entered under the nom de guerre of Packey East. Young hopefuls admired Packey McFarland, an outstanding boxer of the time, and Hope's best pal, Whitey Jennings was promoting himself as Packey West. HoP.e won his first fight but lost the second, and his righting career folded before it started. The Hope family had migrated to the United States from England in March 1908. Les Hope was five years old when William Henry Hope and Avis Townes Hope brought their family of seven boys to Cleveland from Eltham, a small village near London's Charing Cross Station. Life hadn't been easy in England but wasn't much better for the Hopes in Cleveland, because William's expertise was as a stonecutter and they weren't much in demand. William's subsequent attempt to start a cut-stone company went under when he and his partner wrongly figured a bid for a Cleveland high school contract. Avis relieved the precarious Hope finances by moving the family into large houses and taking in boarders. _ The boys - Fred, Ivor, George,, Jack, Jim, Lester and Sidney - went to school at Fairmount Gram­ mar School, Fairmount Junior High and East High. All the siblings worked at a variety of jobs at an early age. Les pulled taffy at a taffy store along 105th and Euclid and sold two-cent newspapers at the intersection of 102nd and Euclid. Both he and Whitey were delivery boys for Heisey's Bakery and Lester Townes "Bob" Hope with his comedy and dancing partner George Byrne, a Columbus boy. The two Tum to next page ~ got together when they were traveling on the vaudeville circuit with Fred Hurley's tab show in the late 1920s and early 1930s. -

They garnered extra quarters when they wandered over to Pete Schmidt's Beer Garden and stood outside, singing and passing their caps. . Hope's sweetheart was Mildred Rosequist, a graceful blonde who loved to dance. The two worked up an act and performed in Cleveland vaudeville theaters, sometimes getting $8 a night. At the same hme, Hope was a contestant in the dozens of amateur shows held in and around the city - his parody of Charlie Chaplin which he per­ formed at Luna Park won him a new cooking stove for his mother. About that time Hope decided that a staid work­ ing life would never satisfy him - vaudeville was wnere he wanted to be. He left East High when he was in his sophomore year and, realizing he had to learn the coming-into-vogue theatrical danci~g, signed up for sott shoe, dog, and buck and wmg lessons with two local dancers, King Rastus Brown and Johnny Root. . Vaudeville, a descendant of the traveling variety shows in Europe, flourished in the United States for 30 years, beginning in the 1880s. The name was derived from a French phrase, "vaux-de Vire:" popular satirical songs were composed and per­ formed during the 15th century in valleys (or vaux) near the French town of Vire in the Normandy province. · Tony Pastor was the first entrepreneur to bring "clean" and inexpensive entertainment for the working class "to which a child could take his parents" when he opened his 14th Street house in Tammany Hall, New York on Oct. 24, 1881. Pas­ tor's song-and-dance acts and comic routines play­ ed to a double gallery comprised of both men and women, something that had never been done before in the United States. Before then, variety shows were produced in beer halls, "drop in places," wine rooms and bars for men only. The true pioneers, though, were Benjamin Frank­ lin Keith and Edward Franklin Albee. The part­ ners' s first house was a curio museum they opened on Jan. 8, 1883 in a 35 by 15-foot room along Bos­ ton's Washington Street, later known as the Adams House. The opening attraction in a long list of entertainers, freaks and exhibits to appear there was Baby Alice, a 3-month-old midget who weighed only 31h pounds. Seven years later, the men formed a circuit of traveling vaudeville performers which would eventualfy become the famed Keith-Albee Circuit. A scramble for places to put on the acts followed throughout the country, and any owner with enough space for a bar, hall and 150 folding chairs was approached - barns, shooting galleries, ware­ houses, livery stables and markets, even churches, housed the shows. Ironically, the quality of entertainment was high­ er than that of the legitimate theater.
