The executive officers of the scoutorganization are using "Our Town"as a medium through which to enlistthe services of anyman in Narberthwho is willing to devote a few hoursof work a week intheinterest of theboys of the borough. This wil l bein the nature of supervisory work,under the direction of Ben. J. Cook,scoutmaster.

The place run under t he name ofNarberth Pool Room, at 10 5 Narberth avenue, was the scene of theraid, following many complaints byneighbors of nocturnal disturbances.A number of the steady cus
tomers, together with the proprietor, "Nick" Venditti, were takeninto custody, and Magistrate Fred\Valzer assessed fines of $10 andcosts against members of the groupunder the charge of disorderly conduct.Thursday' s r ai d came as the cul
