It’s a treat to meet people who
read this column.
A recent opportunity to do so
was lg:en me by the Battle Creek
Enquirer and News when it in
vited four of its women columnists
to meet their readers. I think I
met all 68,000 of them.
Judging from the turnout, Bat
tle Creek was eager to meet its
Ladies of the Press—the crowd
swelled the XKellogg Auditorium
long before the meeting started,
hailed the talks of the girl column
ists, stayed to ask questions and
seek sutographs, °
You learn that most towns en
counter the same problems in re
spect to their young people. But
the true test is the interest they
take in trying to solve them.
Questions ran the gamut from
“how long do you think a couple
should steady date” to “how often
shold Junior be permitted to use |
the family car.” After the meeting‘
many of the parents—fans of the‘
column—stayed on to ask more
questions.
There were suggestions such as
Mrs. Donald Zinn’s that teen-agers
must learn to budget their time—
that it's just as important as budg
eting their pennies. “They like to
burn the candle at both ends, and
never stop to take a breath,” was
her plaint,
A farmer, Bob Newcomer, who |
postponed his poker date to be
on hand for the meeting, said that
in his estimation some teen-agers
could learn some manners. “Most
young boys today have so little re
spect for the girls they date, they
don’t even bother to comb their
hair or wash their faces before
they call for a girl,” he said. What |
has happened, he asked, to the
young man who came calling in a
well-pressed suit, clean shirt, and
a few Fennies in his jeans to take
his girl out for an ice cream soda
or movie?
Mr. “Speed” Harbert wondered
if it is religion that some young
people lack. It might be the rea
son for their lack of self-respect
and nrental respect, he reasoned.
But thought that maybe par
ents eould help by being a little
more attentive to church them
selves, and setting the example
for their offspring.
It would be wonderful if bigger
cities could divide themselves into
communities about the size of Bat
tle Creek, and develop the neigh
borliness and community spirit as
evidenced in this town. For a

community is just as important as |
its contribution to the state and
nation.
Teen-agers would be wise to
develop more interest in their own
community. In very large cities
people often are insular. They pass
their neighbors every day without
a sign of recognition. They. don't
participate in church or local ac
tivities and never even engage in
p{easantrles with their tradespeo
ple. - ‘
When you can Jeave a city after
just two days and remember with
pleasure every detail of what you
encountered, indeed it is a friendly
place, l
It is pleasant to recall . . .
The people who sprang to the
assistance of charming Mary Bar
ber and me when Mary’s car ran
out of gas on the busiest corner of
Battle Creek. The patience of the
traffic officer was amazing. Young
men dashed away for gas without
consulting us. Pretty soon there
was almest enough gas on hand to
il a B-29 ... :
Edith —the maid of gracious
jOlive Adams — who told us at
luncheon at the Adams house that
she “loved the meeting last night,‘
and golly am I thrilled to see you
80 soon again ~ .” ’
Sweet Shirley Lipscomb, who
when he found out that a rail
strike had us grounded, volunteer
ed to drive 85 miles to Indiana to
another railroad . . .
The simplicity of dairy farmer
Herman Strabbing and Mrs. Strab
bing when he dropped in practi
cally at a moment’s notice to ex
amine their beautiful antique col
lection, fine old glass in canary,
blue, cranberry, milk and ame
thyst colors—some of it Sandwich
— others in the daisy-and-button
pattérn, a particular favorite of
mine. Their pretty teen-ager is
an active member of her set—in
friendship groups and dramatic so
cieties . . .
There was the grocery man who
sold us a brand new delicacy dis
covered there by Food Editor
Edith Barber, who with me also
was staying at her sister Mary’s.
He could call us all by name be
cause he recognized us from “pic
tures in the newspaper . . .”
I am "home with pleasant
thoughts of Elizabeth Holmberg's
mother, an avid reader of Teen
Talk, and the Bob Millers and the
Hobart Chipmans and the Paul
Hallers. I have John Allen’s reci
pe for shrimp casserole tucked in
the back of my head along with
some of Mildred Genebach’s recol
lections of Europe, George Dolli
ver's comments on Broadway
night life, and a fond remembrance
of Mrs. A, L. Miller’s tea party,
where I .sat in a family chair that
had given comfort to Abraham
Lincoln.
What more can a city offer in
two days? It was lots of fun and
it is good to know there are so
many lucky teen-agers living
there.
“SEVEN SEAS"” A MYTH

phrase “seven seas” refers to all

is said to have its origin in Brah

Boy Scouts’ Nafional Jamboree
At Valley Forge May Be Largest
Encampment Ever Under Canvas
BY RICHARD EKLEINER
NEA Staff Correspondent
VALLEY FORGE, Pa, —(NEA)
—Not since the winter of 1777-78,
when George Washington’s Conti
nental Army shivered around
their fires on the banks of the
Schuylkill River has Valley
Forge seen such goings-on.
Now a Pennsylvania state park,
the historic site is getting ready
to play host to another uniformed
group. Only this time it's the Boy
Scouts who will camp where once
the tattered Revolutionaries built
rough huts.
And, instead of only 10,000
men, there will be 47,000. The oc
casion is the Boy Scouts’ second
National Jamboree, the first since
the 1937 encampment in Washing

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
ton, from June 30 to July 6. Boys
from every state in the union and
18 foreign countries are planning
to attend the Jamboree,
* * %
Scout officials believe this will
be the largest gathering of per
sons under canvas in the history
of the world. The 1937 affair at
tracted 27,232 persons camping on
at 480-acre site. This year, the 47,~
000 Scouts and leaders will oc
cupy 625 acres of the 2033-acre
park.
It costs s4o—plus travel expen
ses — for a boy to attend the
Jamboree, Some troops are send
ing one representative usually
chosen on & merit basis, and split
ting the cost up between the
trocp, its sponsoring agency and
————————————— A llrl——
the boy’s parents. Other enterpris
ing troops have long been work
ing to raise enough money so that
the whole trogp .can‘ attend. .
In some sections of the country,
Scout mothers are holding bridge
parties and raffles and bingo
§ames to send their sons to the
amboree. Boys will eome by bus
and train., Many are planning
sight-seeing side-trips to New
York and Washington. -
And all the boys will be taken
on an excursion to the historic
spot of Philadelphia as part of
the Jamboree program.
Making ready for a 47,000-per
son invasion is a big job. To give
adequare utilitles, six and a half
miles of water mains, four miles
of sewer lines and 12 miles of
electrie lines are being construct
ed. .
In true Scout tradition, the boys
will cook all their own meals over
open charcoal campfires. Among
other items they’ll consume will
be 40,000 dozen eggs, 400,000
quarts of milk 4 1-2 tons of salt,
48,000 cans of soup, 25 miles of
frankfurters and 5000 gallons of
ice cream. *
In case any one Scout eats too
much, each of the 35 sectional
camps is equipped with & health
lodge and three doctors. Hospital
facilities for serious cases are also
provided.
* & =
Police and fire protection, post
office facilities, commissaries and
other necessary anstallations are
being arranged.
1 While at Valley Forge, the
|Scouts will witness three huge
| spectacles, built avound the
| theme, “Strengthen th. Arm of
| Liberty.” They’ll be held in a
| natural amphitheatré larger than
i a football field. At the first one,
President Truman will speak.
