Well, from weather reports,
It seems we will be "singing
in the rain” for sometime. How
ever, do not let this dampen
your spirits for just watch the
map on the TV News reports
and see how many are going to
have ice and snow storms across
the nation! "Oh which had you
rather have” as the old song
goes, "a grand baby or a baby
grand. . .a baby often squalls
and hollers, a baby grand costs
S6OO dollars”. Think of it cost
ing only $600.00!. .that shows
how old that song is! We’ll
settle for the rain. . . .and cer
tainly for the grand-baby. . .who
seldom squalls and hollers!
Our hearts go out to eighty
three families who have lost
members of their family in that
horrible air crash off the coast
of Jersey. . .destination Atlanta.
Only two Georgians have been
named so far. . .and they were
from Augusta.
We were sorry for the pilot
of another plane who was quizzed
about his thoughts and impres
sions when he saw the flash
of fire. . .seemingly in the air,
but certainly in the water, soon
after he passed it. Had you
been piloting a plane and seen

you could do nothing, and you
were getting ready to land your

Incidentally, the first Scout
Camp had been established at
Brownsea Island, England, only
4 year previously, by Lord Ro
bert S. S. Baden-Powell. While
a colonel in the British Army
during the Boer War in Africa,
he was appalled at the physical
and sometimes character weak
ness of many of the English re
cruits it fell his lot to train.
From his teaching these young
soldiers how to survive in the
wilderness, and rudiments of pa-
building in Athens. The associ
ation worked with the department
to develop uniform standards of
beef cattle grading and index
formula for improvement.
He stressed that cattlemen are
doing “a poor job of promoting
our product. We need a united
front of members to promote
fair prices.”
Mr. Greene reported that Se
cretary of Agriculture, Orville
Freeman had announced that 34
research stations would be clos
ed, and that 55 other locations
in 19 states will probably be
cutback. He belittled the re
port that beef and pork cause
heart trouble and early death.

join the Parent-Youth Council,
whether you are a parent or not.
All parents, not just those with
children in the sth through 12th
grades to which the Council
Guidelines are specifically appli
cable, should join the ranks of
Parents and Youth in stemming
the tide of immorality which
threatens our nation. If your
children are not yet teen age,
they soon will be; if they have
passed this age, then the benefit
of your experience will be bene
ficial.
We have a splendid opportunity,
through the Parent-Youth Coun
cil, to help our young people
mold a better world. So, when
one of the Membership Commit
tee contacts us, let’s stop whin
ing about deplorable conditions,
and start working on them, as
