[BOY SCOUTS BEGIN
FINANCE CAMPAIGN
The simultaneous finance cam
paign for the Central Georgia
Council, Boy Scouts of America,
swung into action in the Peach
Belt district this week.
The executive campaign com
mittee for this district includes:
Campaign chairman, G. W.
Rhodes: special gift chairman,
John David Duke, Fort Valley;,
public education chairman, W.K. I
Whipple, Perry: and prospects:
chairman, T. M, Anthoine, Fort
Valley.
According to a charter receiv
ed from the Congress of t h e
United States, the Boy Scouts of
America is authorized to operate
Scouting in the 544 local councils
in the United States and its pos
essions. The Central Georgia
Council has supervision of Scout
jing in 24 middle Georgia counties.
I The two dozen counties which
combine to form the Central
Georgia Council have devised a
plan whereby the expenses of
the council may be shared by
them all. Council headquarters
is located in Macon, and most of
• the council budget needs come
; from the Macon Community Chest
1 and adult sustaining member
ships. . , ,
Field executives are employed
1 ] by the council to work in all
counties, and communities out
side of Macon conduct a simul
1 taneous campaign immediately
following Boy Scout Week in
• February in order to raise their
. share of the council budget.
The remarkable increase in
the number of new troops and
; Scouts in 1941 offers an opportu
: nity for a much larger number of
boys to receive Scout training,
! but it also imposes a responsibili
i ty ori the council to see that these
[additions are adequately serviced
I by the council personnel.
Scouts throughout the nation
'are being mobilized for service
in civilian defense. Scouts in
; the Central Georgia Council have
taken a great part in defense ac
tivities, and will play a bigger
i part. ,
i It is imperative that each dis-
I trict in the Central Georgia
, Council give full participation to
; the simultaneous finance cam
| paign, so that the service of the
' Scout organization may continue
( uninterrupted. !
I The special gifts campaign is
. scheduled for completion on Feb.
. 14, while the general drive re
' suits are to be reported by Feb.
-20. The campaign executive
committee is at present securing
team captains and workers.
First Vaccination
The first vaccination was per*
I formed in 1706.

i Bustle of Army ;
Irks Icelanders
Stolid Folks of Reykjavik
Resent Intrusion of
Military Rule.
REYKJAVIK, ICELAND.—
Reykjavik, a capital that has al
ways wanted to be alone; has a war
jammed down its throat like a hot
potato and doesn’t quite know how
to swallow it.
Many of its citizens, stepping into
the streets to avoid crowds of stroll
ing soldiers and jumping back to
dodge honking army trucks, wish
the old days would return, when
the only foreigners were an occa
sional crowd of cruise tourists and
there wasn’t a soldier in Iceland.
It is a strange mixture, the rein
i nants of a backwater Old World
j civilization overrun by the strident
i activity of the British and Ameri-
I can armies of occupation.
[ Sunday afternoon strollers listen'
1 with a touch of bewilderment to the
creak of winches and shouts of sol
diers unloading one ship after an
other in the little harbor. Long
bearded naval officers roam the
streets, waiting for the next convoy
to leave. American, English, New
Zealand, Norwegian and Scottish
men crowd the restaurants so Ice
landers frequently cannot even re
serve tables.
Military Rule Resented.
Iceland’s 120,000 residents lived
virtually cut off from the world
until the island suddenly became a
key spot in the Battle of the Atlan
tic. They are extremely proud that
their country was the world’s first,
democracy, started in 930 A. D.
with the founding of the Althing
(parliament), and they find natural
difficulty in accepting the necessary
rule that military authority super
sedes normal civil life in such a
front-line fortress.
Many of them, however, are prof
iting handsomely from their virtual
ly uninvited guests. Stores are do
ing rushing business, taxicab com
panies are reaping miniature for
tunes, tables must be reserved in
the best restaurants hours in ad
vance and getting a haircut often
requires an hour’s wait.
The city’s two motion picture
houses are operating entirely on a
( reserved-seat basis, and it is virtu
ally impossible to obtain tickets for
an evening performance after 1 p.
m. The theaters are known as
“Bio,” apparently a derivation of
the early Biograph days, and cur
rently are showing such American
j features as “Drums Along the Mo
| hawk” and “Dance, Girls, Dance. ,r
English Books Stocked.
Bookstores have stocked large
supplies of English books and
weeks-old London newspapers to
meet the heavy demand.
Postcard sales have been so
heavy that it is difficult to find views
of Reykjavik and famous land
marks. The supply now consists
largely of an Iceland pony standing
on a hill and James Cagney in a
cowboy suit.
A treeless, drab city of concrete
and corrugated iron buildings,
Reykjavik suddenly became an in
ternational host at an embarrass
ing moment, since many of its;
streets were torn up for the installa
tion of pipes to bring water frorra
a near-by hot springs into a city
wide steam heating project. The
pipes were a casualty of war,
however, and never left the dock in
Denmark.
The streets were filled up in the
best manner possible, but the inces
sant pounding of large British and'
American army trucks—augmented
by heavy rains—has made them
I muddy washboards.
Transportation demands are so
great that it is not an uncommon
sight to see American army majors.
hitchhiking rides to and from the
city.
Airplane Is Used to t
Tabulate Animal Herds
BELLE FOURCHE, S. D. Be
cause antelope can run between 60
and 70 miles an hour, the state
game and fish commission is using
an airplane to take an antelope cen
sus.
The flying game wardens rout the
antelope herds from protected gul
lies into the open where they have
little trouble tabulating the speedy
animals.
The game commission is taking
the census to determine the feasi
bility of an open season next fall.
Near Spearfish one aerial census
crew witnessed a head-on collision
between two fleeing herds of an
telopes.
“They met head-on at the top of
the ridge traveling about 60 miles
an hour,” Clyde Ice said.
“They crashed like a couple of
trains and nearly 100 antelope piled
together; but a minute later they
were gone and we couldn’t even-i
spot a cripple.” r
Rural Youth Put Movies
First in Entertainment
LAFAYETTE, IND.—Movies are
the biggest lure in the entertainment
program of rural youth, with danc
ing a weak second, according to a
survey made by Dr. Lynn Robert
son of Purdue university.
Dr. Robertson said that rural
young men see an average of 3&
motion pictures a year, and young
women about 34. He estimated that
the farm youths spend about $43 a
year on entertainments.
