SCOUTING SPIRIT, SERVICE Never in the history of our country have w ; e needed the character building and citizen ship training influences of the Boy Scouts of America so urgent ly as we do today. Scouting in stills in our boys reverence for j- God, admiration for country, love for home and respect for their fellows. It is a genuine brother hood . During the 31 years the move ment has served America, more than nine million boys and men have been registered on its mem bership rolls. Today more than one million five hundred thous and are active participants in its program. And every day through out the land this vast brother hood individually and collectively is doing something worth while to “strengthen and invigorate our democracy.” Indeed, it is my conviction from personal observation in many hundreds of communities in every section of America over a period of twenty years that Scouting epitomizes all the at tributes of democracy. It is a great Movement charged with the responsibility of working cea •• lessly for our great country. Its idealism is practical; its accept ance is universal. It is free and voluntary. Its spirit is service, j PRINTING I And That Means - Originality - Craftsmanship - Quality Paper - Fair Prices - Courtesy - Gratitude Let us figure on your next job . . . no matter how big or how small.

Director Ted Reed needed a middle-aged man for a small part in “Those Were the Days (At Good Old Siwash).” “This is easy,” Reed explained to the extra. “You're a college professor. It’s night. You're asleep here on this bed. William Holden sneaks in and turns back all of your blocks an hour. You just lie there without moving. You’re asleep.” “Mr. Reed, I appreciate your interest, but I cannot accept the role. It isn't suited for me.” “Not suited?” "No, Mr. Reed. I cannot sleep, i suffer from insomnia."

Angelo stowed away on a ship bound for his native i Italy last November. Since arriving ! there he has bombarded officials and Omaha relatives with pleas for | aid in obtaining a passport, so he could return home and escape being drafted into the army. Represen tative McLaughlin (Dem.. Neb.) sent word that the American consul at Palermo, Italy, has been author ized to issue the passport.

It is still preserved I in the national library at Paris. PREVENT FOREST FIRES This is the season of the year when the number of forest fires that occur begin to increase greatly. There are more people in the forest for various reasons, such as cutting timber, cutting fuel wood, hunting and clearing land. Practically all forest fires S are man caused; therefore, it all people would practice preventa tive measures we could avoid nearly all forest fires that occur l annually. So long as fire is kept out, the thick, spongy layer of pine straw . woods moult pro tect the roots of the tree against the bad effects of drought and summer heat and also adds plant food to the soil that is available for tree growth. When this layer of mulch is destroyed by fire, the vitality and growing power of the tree is reduced and the result is slow growth of trees and frequent and severe attacks by insects and diseases. Every year fire kills many mil lions of young saplings, amount ing to a heavy financial drain upon the country. Open ragged stands of pine trees yield only a very small fraction of that yield ed by well stocked stands. The bulk of young pine forests in this section are only partially stocked as a result of repeated fires, and if these stands were well stocked we would be producing a much greater volume of timber pro ducts with a much higher quali ty on the same area. Fires kill desirable pine repro duction; encourage the sprouting of scrubby hardwoods; destroy the home of wildlife; keep tin soil poor, and kill carpet grass, lespedeza and other plants whici furnish foods for wildlife and control erosion. Forest fires have grown tosucl an alarming degree in Houston county that the County Commis sioners have taken steps to try to curb these fires. ORDINARY'S CITATIONS Georgia, Houston County. S. M.
