Entered at the Post Office in
Perry, Ga., as Mail Matter of
Second Class.
The 1941 Assembly will be
criticised more than once for en
actment of the Talmadge budget
plan. The bill is not perfect,but
the Assembly and the Governor
had no real choice in the matter.
The State’s credit is in bad
shape. Something had to be
done and time and political exi
gencies would not permit of a
complete revision of State gov
ernment. If the Legislature
years ago had had the courage to
make a budget within the exist
ing revenue or to raise taxes to
pay a bigger one, no emergency
as had as the present one would
have arisen.

"BE PREPARED'’ SCOUT MOTTO
To mark its 81st birthday, the :
Boy Scouts of America is con
tinuing an active program to pre
pare the youth of this country to
take its place in dealing with
world conditions.
Scouting officials have drawn
up an extensive emergency ser
vice program designed to make
the boys of the United States of
more value in times of crisis. Dr.
James E. West, Chief Scout Ex
ecutive, in announcing the plan (
said: “It is the responsibility of!
everyone identified with Scout
ing in normal times, and certain
ly in a period of national emer- (
gency, to be alert and vigilant
to meet every opportunity for 1
service, not only because of the
obligation but because of the
special training which the pro
gram of Scouting gives to boys
in Patrols an d Troops a n u
through th e development of
qualities of leadership on the
part of older boys and Sen ders.”
Giving new significance to the
Boy Scout Motto: “Be Prepar
ed,” the Scout Movement h a s
begun intensive training for tlu
boys in its membership in ah
things which will make them
more reliant an d capable in
emergency situations. Sc ou L s
are being trained in observation,
identification and memory thru
a thorough knowledge of theii
home communities.
The boys are being trained in
swimming, horsemanship, boat
ing, proper methods of running
messages, as well as how to
travel under adverse conditions
Stressing the necessity of clean
living, the program emphasize;
outdoor life, giving the Scouts
training in camping with and
without shelter, the preparation |
of food, and knowledge of wood |
craft lore.
Calling to mind the long list '
of Scout heroes who have re
ceived medals for saving life, lo j
cal Scoutmasters are teaching
their boys safety methods for
dealing with firearms, cutting
tools, anti tire, as well as instruc
lion in methods of water rescues
and first aid for the seriously in
jured.
Rural Scouts are playing an
important part in this emergency
service program through raising
garden truck for food, studying
the importance of food and it
conservation, raising birds an i
animals for food, as well as fis 1
hatching.
Although in no way advocat
ing military training for th e
forty-seven thousand Scout Units
throughout the country, the
Scout Movement lias recognized
the necessity of preparing the
youth of the United States for
efficient and valuable service to
the country in time of emergen
cy. Scout service in times of re
cent crisis, such as the hurricane
disasters of New England and
Florida, has shown the value of
the Boy Scout training in first
aid, signaling, pathfinding, safe
ty and use of knife and axe.
The Boy S •outs of America in
organizing this emurgency ser
vice program has joined with Id
other organizations of the Citi
zenship Educational Service in
issuing this statement: “While
recognizing the urgent necessity
for military preparedness,we are
deeply convinced that the. para
mount need in national defense
is the strengthening and invig
oration of democracy in the Unit
mi States. This we propose to do
t trough our respective programs
of activity and education.”
