Os Honor To Be
Held Here Nov. 7
By Aulton Smith
At the September meeting of
the Evans-Bryan Boy Scout dis
trict committee it was decided
to hold the Courts of Honor on
the first Thursday of September,
November, February and May.
The next meeting will be held
at Pembroke in the Baptist

parent is asked to be present
with his boy. The regular meet

with the Rev. R. L. O’Brien, pas
tor of the Claxton Baptist

The scouting interest in this
area is being backed by one of
the most enthusiastic commit

follows an increase in juvenile
delinquency, but this must not
be permitted among our boys—
the men of tomorrow.
Can you help in the Scouting
work? Each and everyone can
help, your help wlil cause you
and your neighbor’s boy to be
. ome a better boy—a man of
tomorrow, who will not have
hanging over him a crime which
would hinder him from becom
ing a Scouter. If the American
homes were worth fighting for,
it is Worth working for. The
ideals of the American home,
the church, the synagogue and
the school must be upheld dur
ing this time of great stress and
international strain, if our boys
can take our place in the world
as a good Scouter and an Amer
ican citizen.
