FAMBROUGH, Scoutmaster, like to print everything that every- 1 —— body wants printed;-but with limit ed space, someone has to exercise his best judgment in the selection of matter, so the editor just does th<s best he can in selecting his own matter. ‘‘The Boy Scouts are just a bunch of kids,” the author above mentioned said, “Nobody cares about what they do|." But the editor has never seen a Buy Scout drunk or in jail. The only time we ever saw a Boy Scout in Police Court was when the boy gave testimony against a hit-and- run driver.

If he wanted to hire a boy for a responsible posi tion he would insist on his being a Boy Scout Scouting builds into a boy's make-up strong fibres of character. It makes him staunch of heart and strong of mind. It has proven itself to be a builder of true man hood. Every Boy Scout is an in fluence for good where he lives. Every Scrut organization helps to encourage and preserve the lessons of clean living, of manly courage, of industry and thrift, of tte obli gation of helpfulness to those need ing help, and of all the things that make for right living. Scouting makes real Americans out of thoughtless youths. If every boy in America were a member, our country soon would have the finest citizenship in the world. If every boy in the United States were a sccut there would be few, if any, gangsters and gun men at the end of twenty years. If all the boys wtie Scouts there would be no need for any newspaper to publish lengthy articles regarding the Nation’s Morals. But Scouts hsve other training beside moral development. They are tra'ncd in life saving. In the Florida disaster a few years ago the j Bo Scouts saved hundreds of lives. They arc active not only in time of disaster, but in every day life. They a’e taugh) first how to take csre of themselves. They are then taught hew to care for others. The Boy Scout motto: “BE PREPARED,” is, if applied to life generally, the greatest possible factor in success.
