made Eagle--or almost made
it—you can be sure he once
had most of what you want
for a reporter or editor—and
that he probably still has it.”
Mr. Johnson says they tried
that test on beginning repor
ters, and it hasn’t failed yet.
“It takes initiative, perse
verance, curiosity, versat
ility, scholarship, and deter
mination for a boy to win an
Eagle badge,” Mr. Johnson
believes. “By the time he gets
it, he has the experience that
will help him develop good
Judgement, high character,
and probably personality—if
he doesn’t already have it.
The editor finds other ele
ments in Scouting of great
value.
"There’s cooperation and
tolerance in a Boy Scout tro
op,” he says. "The under
dog or the picked chicken soon
finds a defender, if he wants
one, to help him take it; but
there’s competition, too, and
pride and leadership.
“These Scouts still hold God
and country high. They still
snap to attention for the flag.
They still mean it when they
talk about doing a good turn
every day. They take serious
ly the Law that a Scout must
be trustworthy, loyal, helpful,
friendly, courteous, kind, obe
dient, cheerful, thrifty, brave,
clean, and reverent.
"They still stand erect and
swear to obey those laws and
to keep themselves’physically
strong, mentally awake, and
morally straight.’Their badge
still bears the motto-- ’Be
Prepared.’
“Now there may be some
who’ll call it corn and sneer
at him; but nobody has offered
anything to match it in making
a real American out of a boy.”
Time To Switch
If the government committee
report on smoking hazards dld
rit deter you then Gov. Sanders’
tax-upping, ngnt on top of it,
definitely should make you dis
dain the filthy weed, resolve
never to touch it again.
The only out this corner can
see for us, healthwise and econ
omywise, is to go back to the
days of our youth and revive
the ancient custom of (1) smok
ing rabbit tobacco or (2) smok
ing corn sllks-rolling our own,
as it were.
Between the two, this author
would prefer the rabbit brand,
much more satisfying than the
silks.
Only thing that might stop me
from switching back is that I
never could learn to roll the
darn things right, even though
I sat at the shrine of W\-
Ham S. Hart, the first of the
great and fearless Western he
roes who used to whip out a
package of victory and open
It up with his teeth and then
take the paper and roll it deft
ly — all with one hand. Some
i how I could never even master
: the two-handed operation.
But If you’re smoking more
and enjoying it less, or smok
ing less and not enjoying It at
all, then It’s time to switch...
but I wonder If they still sell
the materials for rollin’ your
own?
FROM JERRY TOMASELLO:
“I wouldn’t vote for you if you
were St. Peter,” piped a voter
to a candidate in the April 4
election.
"Yeah ” was the reply,
“well if I was St. Peter you
wouldn’t be in my precinct.”
