It is stated that the people along
this road are showing their patri
otism by assisting in hauling the
eiay used in claying the road. They
are furnishing their teams and
drivers as they can spare them. If
all the people would help in this
way it would not be many years
before Atkinsou county would
have good roads in every section
of the county. Let the people be
patient for a little while longer
and they will see our bad roads
gradually disappear
An Appeal.
To the men of Pearson:
The call of Pearson boys for the
Boy Scout program of Character
Buildiug and Citizenship Training
should not go unheeded by the
men of your little city. The forty
or more boys interested in scout
ing represent the greatest asset
you have, they are men in the
cocoon. The kiud and type of
men they become depends upon
the training they receive now,
they are worthy of equal advan
tages with the boys of Douglas,
Homerville, Blackshear, Jesup,
Waycross, Brunswick, Hazlehurst
and other towns in the Okefenoke
Council District now backing the
movement, there are many thiugs
worth while about this Scout pro
gram. It indicates right ideas of
Citizenship through service; it
teaches eo operative effort for com
munity uplift; it’iuspiresand stim
ulates boys to do their best and
arouses their ambition to do things
worth while.
Take time to look over the Scout
Oath and Law; investigate the pro
gram and you will uo doubt want
to see every boy in town a Boy
Scout. It is leading boys into
worthwhile activities, and giving
the “gang” a constructive program.
Some big-hearted, red blooded man
in Pearson should rise up and see
that those fine boys stumbling into
Citizenship have the opportunity
of becoming Boy Scouts.
Men of Pearson —What response
will you make to the continuous
call of your own boys?
The Okefenoke Council is ready
to help and 1 shall be glad to as
sist you in organizing, directing
and developing the work with your
co-operation.

Scout Executive.
