A WORD ABOUT SCOUTING
SCOUTING ON THE SCHOOL
BUS...Today, over America’s
Rural roads and highways,
6,000,000 school children will
ride 100,000 school buses for an
average of three hours.
Scouting’s skills, ideals, pr»-
gram and organizational pat
terns are being rapidly related
to the bus routes. The neighbor
hood group spirit, which de-
velopes while riding the bus, in
many instances becomes the
basis for the organization of ru
ral Cub Scout, Boy Scout and
Explorer Units.
Two to eight boys aged 8-11
can form a Cub Den;* the same
number of laoys aged 11-13 can
[anize a Scout Patrol, and
young" men 14 and up can de
velop an Explorer Crew. These
l^oups affiliate with existing
Cub Packs, Scout Troops or Ex
plorer Posts of the community,
or are organized separately with
their own leadership.
The Scoutmaster of a rural
Troop in a consolidated school
wisely organizes his Patrols on
T^bus roufe "basss. Bcoufs often
help to organize these bus route
Patrols and in so doing earn for
themselves the Organizer
Award of the Boy Scouts of
America. They take the lead in
initiating their buddies to the
fun and advantage of Scouting.
As they ride the bus each day,
boys find it easy to talk and do
Scouting. Advancement can be
'stimulated, requirements can be
practice, plans made, meetings
arranged, individual progress
checked, and the ideals of the
Scout Oath and Law put into
practice. The bus riding hours
also offer excellent opportuni
ties for Scouts to do their dally
Good Turns. Helping small
children across the road, assis
ting the driver In loading and
unloading, maintaining order on
the bus, and Instructing aU
children in first aid and safety
are some of these.
Cub Scouting has found the
bus a strong ally. Organized In
to a Den, Cub-age boys meet
once a week at the home of one
of the Cubs whose mother is
Den Mother. The bus driver has
only to deliver all the boys to

the same place. The other
mothers in the Den take turns
each week driving the boys
home after the meeting. In this
simple way, every family parti
cipates and every boy along the
bus route can enjoy the great
game of Cub Scouting. The Den
may belong to the Cub Pack
which meets once a month at
the school or community cen
ter. The Pack provides a rally
and getrto-gether of Cub Scouts
and parents, and its program Is
closely related to the rural home
and rural community Interests.
Rural Scouting Units are
finding excellent facilities avail
able in the modern rural school.
The National Congress of Color
ed Parents -^d Teachers, which
operate in most of the southern
states, ^as encouraged operation
of youth groups as a part of
their local PTA projects. Mrs.
Charles L. Williams of Miami,
Florida, the national president,
recently said: “This nation
needs, as never before, citizens
who are strong in body and
character. wholesome In
fluence that Scouting offers to
boys in character building and
citizenship training cannot be
measured. Local Scouting pro
grams should be encouraged and
PTA units are urged to co
operate in every possible way.
Certainly, we should see to It
that every boy in every com
munity in America has the op
portunity to be a Boy Scout.”
'A resolution passed at their
national conventaoti held in San
Antonio, Texas, in June, 1955,
urged every local PTA unit to
organize Cub Scout Packs as a
means of accomplishing their
objectives of better parents and
child relationships.
Other sponsors can be civic
groups, veteran groups, rural
churches and community citi-

Jury Hung
In Ohio
Bias Case
CANTON, OHIO
An all-white jury of 6 men
and 6 women failed to reach a
decision in the first of nine suits
against theater owner-manager
Ralph Bevington, who is char
ged with_ racial discrimination
in his Mohawk 'X heater.
33 year old -John Kelly of
Waynesburg, Ohio is suing for
$5,500—$500 for the disgrace,
shame and ridicule he claimed
resulted from Bevington’s anti
race tactics and $5,000 on his
contention that he was forc^ly
deprived of his civi^ rights.
Kelly described how on the
night of Feb. 23rd, 1^55, he seat
ed himself in the right section of
the theater and shortly after
ward was asked by the u?her
and Bevington to move to the
left section. Since he' made
neither comment nor motion to
move, Bevington called a police^
man who offered Kelly a chance
to move or leave the theater.
Bevington testified that it
had been the policy of his the
ater for 18 years to limit Ne
groes to the left side of the audi
torium and that it was printed
on the tickets that the manage
ment reserved the right to seat
patrons where it pleased. Judge
Graham told the jury that this
was not legal nor binding.
The all-white jury deliberated
for three hours but returned to
inform Common Pleas’ Judge
Graham that it was hopelessly
deadlocked. The other eight
cases involving Negroes who at
tended the theater the same day
Kelly did, are being held up
until Kelly’s case is disposed
with. \
Alaskan Editor
Throws Weight
Behind GOP
WASHINGTON, D. C.
From the column of Con
stance Daniel, D. C. writer,
comes the newts that editor
George C. Anderson of tlii
weekly “Alaska Spotlight,” has
thrown his hat into the ring as
a Republican candidate to the
House of Representatives of the
Alaskan Territorial Legislature.
“Whether I ani. successful or
not,” says Editor Anderson, edi
torially,” get one thing straight..
I shall campaign on a platform
of ‘improvement of the condi
tion of Negroes in every field!’
That does not mean that I ex
pect to neglect issues that affect
Alaska generally. We do have
special problems and until we
are fully accepted in every
field we shall always have
special problems which demand
attention,”
Good luck. Editor Anderson!

the real question of rights and
opportunities. It is fair to re
member that almost the total ol
race mixture in America has
come, not at Negro initiative,
but by the acu of those very
white men who talk loudest of
‘race purity.’ Negroes aren't ea
ger to marry white girls, and
they would like to have their
own girls left alone by both
white toughs and white aristo
crats.” *
Two for a Marriage: One for
Aggression
It still takes two to make a
marriage, but only one for ag
gression. “The South”—^where-
ever that is—cannot turn back
the clock after three centuries
of miscegenation under segrega
tion, by self-righteous alarms of
“mpngrelization” when equali
zing legislation steps in.
