Boy Scout Campaign Launched
at Enthusiastic Meeting Here
Sixty Prominent Augustans Gather to Map Out This
Work Here—lnspiring Talk By Rev. J. A. Schaad.
Have Already Had $2,000 Voluntarily
Subscribed
The campaign is on and in full
swing, not only for the mainte
nance of the Boy Scout organiza
tions in Augusta, but to make a
decidedly forward step in behalf
of this far-reaching and important
■work, this foundation-laying on
which to build a better citizenry
from the growing generation and
those to come after them.
The campaign for funds with
which to carry on the Boy Scout
work and to make outstanding im
petus in the subscriptions amount
ing to $2,000 already made, even
before the active campaign was
inaugurated today. Plans outlin
ed for the campaign include solic
iting pledges for the payment at
stated periods of definite sums of
money, these pledges to stand good
for at least one year and to con
tinue good thereafter until can
celled by the maker.
The pledge card being taken In
the campaign conducted Wednes
day and Thursday, reads as fol
lows:
“The undersigned endorses the
movement, and hereby pledges to
the officers of the Augusta Boy
Scout Council a supporting sub
scription of $ per month.
payable quarterly in advance; it
being understood that said sub
scription will be continued until
cancelled or changed by the un
dersigned with at least 90 days
notice in writing.”
This method, it is believed, will
place the organization in such po
sition that a budget can be laid
out on a definite basis that will
relieve the embarrassment of un
certainty. This plan was decided
on after due and careful consid
eration by the four civic clubs of
Augusta, the Lions, the Rotary, the
Exchange and the Kiwanis clubs.
These organizations are especially
active in their support and en
couragement of the Boy Scouts,
and it is under sucW auspices that
the campaign is launched in Au
gusta.

clubs was held at the Hotel Rich

POSTERS HAVE BEEN
WIDELY DISTRIBUTED.
Marion S. Symms, chairman of
the publicity committee, announc
ed Tuesday night that posters on
behalf of the campaign had been
largely distributed throughout the
city, and that about 20 were yet to
be placed. He also announced that
on Wedneiday and Thursday after
noons Boy Scout members will sig
nual messages from the top of the
Leonard building, the Confederateo
monument and the Masonic build
ing as to progress of the campaign;
also the numbed of congratula
tory and encouraging telegrams
that have been received by many
people away from Augusta who are
interested in the work here.
At the dinner Tuesday night the
following telegrams were receiv
ed:
“Please convey to the citizens of
Augusta my earnest hope that they
will stand behind their Boy Scouts
and that the campaign in their be
half will be successful in every way.
Certainly Augusta people realize
that Augusta boys are the best boys
on earth and that scouting means
much to them; not only now, lrut
for the great future. May God
bless you and the workers in this
great undertaking.
“R. M. SCHIELES?
From Howard O. Hunter, Macon:
“My wishes for big success in the
campaign. This is Augusta's big
opportunity for her boys, and wo
know she will score 100 per cent."
A. E. McFarlane, Jacksonville:
“Best wishes for success in your
campaign. Confident Augusta will
put it over big.”
A. Allen Jamieson, former phys
lica director Augusta “Y,” now Boy
Scout Execeutive, Atlanta: “Know
ing the Augusta spirit so well, I am
certain her citizens will contribute
abundantly to provide for the youth
the privileges of the Boy Scouts
movement with the most interest
ing program ever devised for the
boys.”
EXPECT CAMPAIGN TO
GO OVER 100 PER CENT.
The campaign teams will meet
at dinners at the Hotel Richmond
Friday afternoon at 6:30 at which
time will be announced results of
the campaign. "Assurance is felt
that this announcement will cer
tainly carry the good news that tho
Boy Scouts campaign has been put
over by more than 100 per cent,”
said Chairman Don Culley.
Chairman Culley, presiding at the
dinner Tuesday evening, before in
troducing the speaker of the occa
sion. Rev. J. A. Schaad. rector at
»t---Fsart ! s- efeueeh, in addition to
Outlining the plan of work ap
proaching those from whom pledges
were to be solicited and other mat
ters pertinent to the campaign. Ho
said: "You certainly have no apol
ogies to make, and you should not
attempt such, for the men you ap
proach will not like it. There is
nothing more important in Au
gusta than the success of this cam
paign."
Rev. J. A. Schaad, the newly ar
rived rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal
church, was then introduced and
spoke in part as follows:
"I am happy to have the oppor
tunity so soon after my arrival in
your city to be associated in this
movement.
"Knowing the importance of the
Boy Scout organization as I do, it
seems to us unnecessary to have to
go before the people to sell the Boy
Scout movement. But there arc
citizens who are not acquainted
with the organization, and these
have to be reached.
"A religion that does not go deep
enough to touch the pocketbook
isn’t very worth while, and an in
terest in a movement like this that
does not touch the pocketbook is
not worth having.
"Let's think for a few minutes
about the boy for whom we are do
ing this work. If we really ap
preciate the boy we will feel much
freer to do things for that boy. A
boy is a bundle of energies, ener
gies lead him to do either one of
two things; an energy that will
lead him to either do a lot of good
or a lot of harm. You can bottle
up a boy’s energies; he's going to
break out somewhere. We have
got too many ’don't’ signs up for
the boys; we curb his activities,
and wo must Bee what direction his
activities will lead him, whether he
is going to do something right or
something wrong. Tho boys in our
cities do not have the freedom that
those of us who were raised out in
the open, on the farm, had; and his
energies call him to active life, he
must have outlet. But in the cities
the boy is faced by ‘don’t’ if he
wants to ride on tho sidewalks; if
he wants to play ball in the streets:
if ho wants to do this or that. And,
In the name of heck, where is a
bo yto go; what can he do? There
are ‘don't’ signs everywhere for the
boy; where is the boy to go for
an outlet to his energy?
BOY FILLED WITH
THE “GANG SPIRIT
"We must think of these things.
We must think of the boy, not In
terms of surroundings of our boy
hood, but in terms of his boyhood
of today, his surroundings as they
ore now. Boys must have com
panions. A boy is filled with the
■gang’ spirit. Take this gang spirit
plus the boys energy and you have
got something that will keep your
chief of police awake at nights
unless there is provided a proper
outlet for the boys energies. Tho
records of our juvenile courts bear
out such a statement. The average
ngc of the criminal has been
brought lower and lower until now
that average age Is 9 years. This is
because the boy is a bundle of
energies that lead him to seek out
let for the 'gang’ spirit, and he is
going to seek the company of tho (
‘gang’ if we do not provide some
proper place for him to go, some
place for him to do something;
and provide the proper ‘gang’ for
him. Boys provided with something
to do like they find in Boy Scout
work are not near so likely to get
into the juvenile courts of our land.
“In my judgment, the Boy Scout
movement has in its elements that
go farther than any other agency
towards developing them constru
cively into good citizenship. Most
of us, if we had had the opportuni
ties afforded by the" Boy Scout
movement and spirit would have
been saved a lot* of the troubles we
have been through.
“Now, I would suggest that when
you go out on this mission, your
best selling proposition is to show
the man whom you approach what
the boy is and what he can be de
veloped into. I challenge you to
show me one single Boy Scout that
ever got into a juvenile court. Show
to your prospect that a boy has
rights that include something more
than bread and butter and breeches,
he has a right to opportunities, op
portunities for the proper outlet to
his energies. And it is up to us, the
adults of this commuuity, to give
the boy the opportunity to develop
and to broaden. I would not take
anything in all the world for the
fact that I was brought up on a
farm, out in the open with the trees
and the flowers and the birds, the
animals and nature. The hoys of
our cities do not know of such
things: they are shut-ins. Why, in
New' York they have placed a cow
in the zoo to let the children un
derstand the source of their milk
supply; to show them that it docs
not come out of tin cans. Every
boasted material thing in your city
cramps the life of the boy; and X
stand for the worth of the boy ns
being far above any railroads or
other enterprise that you may bring
into the towm. The boy is worth
more than all of this.
MEANS AN END TO
THE VARIOUS ISMS
“I look upon the Boy Scout move
ment as the biggestpossible agency
in the development of worthwhile
citizenship. Where you have Boy
Scoutism you will not have redism
or radicalism and the one hun
dred of more other cussisms that
threaten our country. Where you
have Boy Scoutism you will have
none of the menaces to the marital
life, for the Boy Scout is brought
up to honor the home and to honor
the stag of his country. As fathers
and citizens we owe to it to our
selves and to the generations to
come to do what we can to develop
good citizenship.
“I want to tell you: There is
something more important than
getting money in this campaign.
Some years ago, before I entered
the ministry, I was a traveling
salesman, and I failed in landing a
large contract for my house- Dis
couraged and disheartened, I sat
dow'n and wrote into the house my
resignation. Shortly X received a
telegram calling me in, and I na
turally expected that I was to be
fired. But, instead, the boss called
me into his office and had a talk
with me. He said: ‘I want to thank
you for losing that contract. There
is something more important to this
house than the mere making of
money; and if you had landed that
contract you would have had to
resort to methods that would not
have made friends for the house.
It is more important to make
friends than it is to make money.’
And he told me to take a vacation
and then get back to work. So. 1
say to you, maka.friends. Sell the
proposition whether’you collect or
not. Do not be too keen to get big
subscriptions, either. Small sub
scriptions give you a larger num
ber of contributors, and you have
a larger number of friends and of
people interested in the Boy Scout
movement.”
Doctor Shaad closed his splendid
and inspiring talk with the request
tliat the gathering "stand and sing
the first verse of America, that
land for which we are all working."
The company then dispersed to
reconvene on Friday evening when
reports from the various campaign
committees will be given out. There
were about sixty persons present.
_ NEW FISH STORY.
TACOMA, WaKh.—Another prize
fish story Is being told along the
waterfront. It concerns a tuna which
tied a knot in its own tall. The
crew of the Albert Jeffries hooked a
162-pound tuna while passing the Pa
cific portal of the Panama Canal,
and the large fish had straightened
out tho hook and was falling bark
into the sea when a flip of Its tail
near the log line caused a knot to be
formed.

Mr. Westmoreland has done to
make the big show possible, his
exhaustive efforts to have as many
breeds of dogs as possible repre
sented and his indefatigable energy
in bringing about the atm of tho
club in every respect.
No one discounts the work done
by Mr. Westmoreland but himself.
He says he could have done noth

officers of the club, the club mem
bers, the newspapers and the
splendid general co-operation of
the business men and people of
Augusta. Mr. Westmoreland was
deeply touched by the display of
appreciation on the part of the
club, and was unable to say more
than a word at the completion of
the mayor’s speech in tendering the
cup. 1

Big Zeppelin Arrives
Safe 'At Lakehurst
After 5,000-Mile Trip
(Continued from Page One.)
tors at this naval station Wednes
day for all eyes to be on the hori
zon at 7 a. m. in search of the ZR-3.
At that hour, it was believed, tho
big gas bag which last night found
itself off Nova Scotia after a home
stretch battle with the elements
over the Atlantic, might he ex
pected to heave into sight. She
would have been 7S hours in tho
air cn route from Frledrichshafen
on her voyage to the bunking place
at Lakehurst field, which she will
.jihare with tho Shenandoah.
The far-flown dirigible was ex
pected to show up at her future
home before noon.
Fair weather was promised
throughout the trip from Just off
Seal Island lighthouse, Nova Scotia,
where the navigators of tho airship
found themselves after hours of
driving up the Atlantic coast bat
tling the elements and dubious of
position.
At least six persons not on the
payroll of the nayal air station at
Lakehurst were jubilant when word
was flashed around that after last
midnight the air cruiser was headed
homeward again. They were the
wives of Capt. George W. Steele,
Commander J. H. Klein. Jr., and
Maj. F. M. Kennedy and the two
sisters of Lieut.-Commander S. M.
Krauss and tho little daughter for
whom Major Kennedy Is bringing
from Germany, a walking doll, al
most as big as herself.
It will he the first walking doll
ever brought from Germany to the
United States on a lighter-than-air
machine.
Police lines were closely drawn
around tho great field where the
Oerman-made craft will rest after
her long exertions. The roads which
even yesterday were dotted with au
tomobiles coming hither, were lined
before daybreak today. As nearly
as was possible with the personnel
of sailors and marines that re
mained after four hundred had
mustered for the landing crew, the
two miles of fir trimmed circum
ference of the field wan patrolled.
Main gates were rigidly guarded.
Admission was by credentials only.
Only a scattering few of the auto
mobiles that drove up to those
gates got past the little guard
house on the Inner side. It had
been determined that the public
should attend the arrival of tho
ZR-3 only at long range. For she
was filled with a highly inflamma
ble and disastrously explosive hy
drogen, 250,000 cubic feet of It.
