I’m interested in Wood Carving and Scouting and i thought neckerchief slides would be a good project theme
I found that Boy’s Life had the most articles on neckerchief slides, with Ben Hunt having the most articles, most under the Whittlin Jim name, and in the ‘Slide of the Month’ column
Ben Hunt did dozens of craft articles for Boy’s Life and I suspect he invented the Whittlin Jim and Lone Eagle names so there would not be too many Ben Hunt Articles
In the early days of Ben Hunt writing articles for Boy’s Life, he is listed as W Ben Hunt – His full name was Walter Bernard Hunt
I’ll be posting the Boy’s Life Pages of all the Neckerchief slides I can find in Boy’s Life, in date order, posting 7 articles a week until I have them all, and there are hundreds – After posting 7 Neckerchief slide a week for almost a year and posting up to 1983, I’m slowing down and hoping to post 1 article a week from now on (02/04/2023)

The Slide of the Month articles start to slow quite a bit toward the end of the 1960s, Slide of the Month articles were almost entirely written by Ben Hunt, and he passed away in 1970
The build articles also slowed down considerable in the mid 1960s, apparently the magazine decided to transition to a different format, it was still centered on your readers, the boy scouts in particular, but a lot less emphasis on self-reliant building and more on commercial solutions to scouting needs

With the Death of Ben Hunt, the number of Neckerchief slide articles published by Boy’s Life dropped dramatically
