AIM OF GEORGIA
LEGION IS 100
BOY SCOUT UNITS
A goal of 100 Boy Scout units
under sponsorship of American
Legion Posts by the end of 1953
has been announced by the De
partment (State) Americanism
Commission of the Legion. Ap
proximately 45 Scout units are
now being sponsored by Posts,
according to Judge A. M. “Phil”
Anderson, Perry, Department
Americanism chairman.
Posts of the veterans organi
zation will be urged to furnish
adult leaders, necessary operat
ing funds, and meeting places
for the units. Each Post which
indicates an interest in assum
ing responsibility for a unit may
sponsor one of each of the three
types, a Cub Pack, of boys 8 to 11
years; a Scout Troop, of boys
from 11 to 14 years; and an Ex
plorer Unit, of boys 14 years and
older. However, Judge Anderson
said, the chief objective will be
to get as many Posts as possible
to sponsor at least one unit, and
a Post may assume sponsorship
of either a Cub Pack, Scout
Troop, or Explorer Unit without
sponsoring all three types.
Approval of this Legion project
has been given by W. A. Dobson,
Atlanta, Scout Executive for
Region Six, which includes
Georgia, Florida, South Carolina
and North Carolina. Scout Ex
ecutives in the 12 Councils in
Georgia will cooperate with
Legion officers in their respec
tive areas, Dobson said.
J. P. Barnett, of Douglas, is
chairman of the Department
Boy Scout Committee of the
Legion, and the drive to organize
new units will be under his di
rection, according to Judge An
derson.
NO SALE
WITH THE MARINES IN KO
REA—It pays to advertise —
sometimes.
A loudspeaker aimed by the
Reds across the valley towards
the Marines, has switched from
melancholy musical programs to
a gift-sales promotion sugges
tion.
“Hello Marines. We give new
car and freedom for all married
men. Come on over to our side
and we will give it to you,” the
voice said.
An artillery observer of the
11th Marine Regiment who re
ported the incident, also summed
up the Marine feeling towards
the give-away.
“Their ‘Hooper Rating’ is zero.
We just cancelled their pro
gram.”
One out of every 35 families

from Red Cross Chapter Home
Service.
