Subscription, $1.50 per year. Entered at the Post Office in Perry, Ga., as Mail Matter of Second Class, BOY SCOUT WEEK The Hoy Scouts of America is celebrating it s thirty-second birthday Feb. 6-12. This is an anniversary that the whole Na tion could well celebrate-cele brate with thanks in its heart that such an organization exists. The aim and purpose of Scout-, ing—character and citizenship are the aim and purpose of every Democracy. Without these two ideal qualities Democracy be comes a sham a dictatorship. America was wrested from a wilderness by a determined people people who had fine character: people who under stood tne responsibilities as well as the privileges of citizenship. Therefore it was only natural that the ideals of the Scout Movement as expressed in the Scout Oath and Law,should meet with widespread approval in this country. Scouting builds men; it de velops citizenship. Scouting is American it is as American as Indian corn, as American as ice cream sodas. Americans accept Scouting because it is continually strengthening and invigorating democracy. Kept Her Word “But your wife said she’d forgive and forget.” "Yes.

Law of Gravity If a person were to take two round balls each five inches in diameter, with one heavier than the other, and dropped from the same elevation under favorable weather conditions, the two balls will strike the earth at the same time since conditions were fixed so the resistance was the same on each. The earth's pull on every small particle of like mass is equal. The force on the heavier ball is greater than on that of the lighter ball but since the mass of the heav ier ball is greater than that of the lighter ball in the same proportions, the accelerations on the two balls will be equal, conscqunetly their i relocities are equal.
