1 Scout Outing
By BILL COULTER'
The young woodsman stands in
the middle of the small clearing,
his keen eyes intently searching
the dense forest that surrounds
him. In the distance, high snow
covered mountains tower toward
the sky.
He quickly sets about the tasks
of finding water nearby and gath
ering wood for a fire. He hesitates
not a second as he starts the fire
and unpacks some of his scant ra
tions.
As dusk fades into darkness, he
confidently surveys his work.
Though at the mercy of the New
Mexico wilds, he’s not afraid. For
four weeks he’s been training for
this venture. = °
Such is the situation that will
soon face Edwin Tolnas, 15-year
old son of Col. and Mrs. Tolnas,
Rutherford Street.
Edwin, an Eagle Scout and
member of Explorer Post 1, spon
sored by the First Methodist
church,-is currently representing
the North-East Georgia Council,
Boy Scouts of America, at the
Junior Leaders Training Course at
Philmount Scout Ranch, Cimma
ron, N. M. L
This course, which trains boys
in all phases of Scouting, began
June 4th and will last through
July 15.
Last year, the North-East Coun
cil was represented in their Junior
Leaders Training Course by
Charles Scudder, Troop 1, and Ray
Nicholson, Troop 22.
The course, held on the 100
square mile game preserve—Phil
mount Scout Ranch—in the heart
of New Mexico, is divided into
i parts.
The first part offers tH& boy
a chance to study leadership meth
ods. patrol organization, troop or
ganization and meetings, and
camping skills.
Techniques of teaching these
subjects takes up the second part
of the program,
In the third phase, the trainees
actually have to live these meth
ods, using the skill they've
learned. Here, the boys go out
alone on a two-day survival hike.
During the fourth, and final
phase of the course, the boys study
projects in nature, emergency ser
vices, skills, special crafts, and
personal and group service.
Here they also learn rope work,
how to use the knife and axe, sign
and compass mapping, nature and
star lore, and first aid.
Special projects are offered in
forestry, geology, wild game man
agement, camp museums, trail
craft, observation, judging and
good turns.
Upon his return, Edwin will
teach the rest of the members of
Post 1 the skills and knowledge
he has gained-during the course.
Although it is not especially in
telligent, the squirrel monkey has
a brain which is larger in propor
tion than a man’s.

Traffic Toll Reaches
That Of All U. S. Wars
NEW YORK, June 26—The na-
tion’s military deaths in all wars
since 1775 had reached a total of
about 1,005,600 at the end of two
years of war in Korea, where ap
proximately 19,350 American com
bat deaths have .occured since the
invasion of South Korea on June
25, 1950, the Association of Cas
ualty and Surety Companies es
timated today.
The Association’s continuing
comparative study of war and
traffic deaths showed, however,
that the total of highway fatali
ties since the first automobile ac
cident victim was killed in New
York City 52 years and nine
months ago is now far ahead of
the all-time war total. Since Feb
ruary, when the total of lives lost
in highway accidents equalled
military fatalities for the first
High-Diving Priest Sefs New Record
Rev. Robert Simon, the high diving vicar of Saone,
France, has set a new record in his annual diving exhibi
tion which brings him funds for rehabilitation of his
church. Father Simon journeyed from Saone, on the
Swiss border, to make his latest, and highest, “financial”
plunge. He jumped from a 128-foot tower into waters of
the Marne River, at Nogent-Sur-Marne, near Paris. The
French priest has held a fund-raising water carnival an
nually since 1947.

Clad in his frock, and wearing

girls on other planets would think if they
knew that the ‘“Miss Universe’’ title was
being restricted strictly to women of this
world.— (NEA Telephoto.) s
time, the historic toll of 1,013,500
traffic deaths has surged 13,000
above the nation’s war fatality toll
of 1,005,600.
In the four months since the au
temobile outpaced war as a killer,
highway deaths have climbed
6,500, This is more than 10 times
greater than the increase of 600
in the number of American lives
lost in Korean fighting while the
truce talks were being held at
Panmunjom during the same per
iod.
Outpacing War
With the automobile now far
outpacing war as a mass killer of
Americans, the Association said,
there is little likelihood that mili
tary casualties will ever overtake
highway fatalities in the grim race
between the two killers, unless
military forces were to be de-

Already the traffic accident
toll’s lead equals the total of near
ly 13,000 combat deaths in the first
year of the Korean war, when the
average was 33 soldiers killed ev
ery day against 99 automobile
deaths daily on U. S. highways.
Owing te the comparative lull in
the fighting in Korea while truce
negotiations continued throughout
most of the second year of the war
the daily average of combat deaths
since last June 25 has dropped
from 33 to 19. On American high
ways, however, the average num
ber of deaths has risen from 99
to 102 a day, during the war’s
second year, according to the
study made by the Association’s
accident prevention department.

When the Korean war started,
the military death toll since 1775

Negro’s Fraud
Reaps Harvest
Warrants for the arrest of Lin
coln Faust, a 36-year-old Negro,
continued to come into Sheriff
Tommy Huff's office Wednesday.
To date, 12 -warrants have been
sworn out for- Faust, and Officer
Jimmy Williams, investigating of
ficer, predicts: more are on the
way. ‘
Faust, ~urrently lodged in the
Clarke county - stockade, is char
ged with two offenses — passing
bad checks and disposing of mort
gaged property. - -
Williams estimates that the Ne
ro issued worthless check totalling
$197, and disposێd of mortgaged
property valued at $192.70. -
“These ore all that have been
reported to us so far,” said Wil
liams. S L
- ‘Williams also’ stated that Faust
‘paid off soine ‘more bad checks
before he was apprehended.
As far as Williams can learn,
Faust’s spending spree lasted from
-about May 15 until last Saturday,
June 21.

DENVER. June 26. — (AP) —
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge (R.-

“It has been impossible for him
(Eisenhower) to meet all the dele

REA — Replacements joining thel
First Marine Division in Korea |
can eat their way from southern
Korea all the way north to the
front lineg on steak if they care to.
All that one nas to do is arrive
in the Pusan area on a day when
the menu calls for steak—then fol
low the menu north to the U, S.
Marines,
All chow for the American for
ces serving in Korea comes thro
ugh the Pusan area under Army
supervision. Fram there it moves
north in gradual stages, feeding
whole areas until it reaches the
First Marine Division.
The hitch, of course, lies in tra
veling north with the food, but a
real “chow hound” should be
able to figure that out.
Once attached to the food, the
Marine would move north, ar
riving at his unit well stocked with
steak, just five days after he left
Pusan. ’
The travel may be slow, but who
can beef?
There are 7567 miles of railroads
within the boundaries of Califor
nia.
Java has only seven per cent of
the area of the East Indies but 70

“THE HOME OF BETTER VALUES”
News From The
Veteran Corner
Here are authoritative answers
from the Veterans Administration
to three questions of interest to
former servicemen:
Q. I saw a house I would like
to buy with a GI loan. The seller
wants to charge me S2OO more
than the reasonable value which
has been determined by VA. Is
it all right if I pay him the extra
$200?
A. No. Under the law, the pur~
chase price not exceed the reason
able value determined by the VA.
Any side payment made to evade
this requirement of the law is
illegal.
Q. I am now training under the
GI Bill, and I just learned that &
might possibly be recalled to active
duty sometime in the fall. I plan
to take my regular summer vaca
tion. Should I continue with my
GI course this fall, even though
I may have to interrupt it to re
turn to military duty? Or may I
stay out of school and wait for my
orders? »
A. There are many uncertainties:
in a situation like yours. You can
not be sure of your return to ser
vice until you actually receive
orders and found physically quali
fied. So you should not interrupt
your training merely on the pro
bability that you may be recalled.
Such an interruption would not
be considered beyond your con
trol; however, receipt of orders re
quiring you to report for active
duty would be considered beyond
your control, and would enable
you to go ahead with your train
ing after you are discharged.
Q. I am drawing compensation
for a service-connected disability.
PAGE FIVE
Now that the rates have gone up,
will I have to reapply in order t=-y
get higher monthly payments?
A. No. You will receive the in
creased payments automatically.
They become effective July 1, and
will be reflected in the check you
receive at the end of that month.
(Veterans in this area who wish
further information concerning
their benefits should contact local
