Three Boy Scouts, who carved the best totem poles in a nationwide contest among the members of the organization, were, on April 13, awarded prize trips to Alaska.

The winner of the first prize, which is to be a trip to Seward, Alaska, Mount McKinley National Park, and the town of Fairbanks, was won by Blanchard Kennedy, of Columbus, Mississippi. Blanchard is 17 years of age. All his expenses will be paid from Mississippi to Fairbanks, and return again to his home. The winner of the second prize was John Potsch, of Cicero, Illinois.
