THE NEWS, Frederick, Maryland, January 8, 1941

* Robert Baden-Powell death
* Boy Scouts head
* Scouting movement


This 10 page newspaper has small one column photo near the bottom of the front page of Sir Robert Baden-Powell with caption: "Scout Leader Dies". I suspect the reason for such a small mention is because it's an early report the same day he died. Still nice to have on the front page.
Other news of the day. Irregular at the spine, otherwise in good condition.
