The Occoneechee Council, Boy Scouts of America, has mobilized its entire membership of 12,800 boys and leaders at the request of President Eisenhower, Honorary President of the organization, “to perform a national conservation good turn” this year. Troops from Moore County, one of the 12 in the council, are cooperating. An eJctensive educational and technical conservation program during this spring, summer, and fall will engage the best'efforts of 414 Cub Packs, Boy Scout Troops, and Explorer Posts in the Occoneechee Council, according to Chris Hamlet who i^ camping chairman of the Council. Some 3,000 Scouts and leaders will kick off the Conservation Good Turn with a Conservation Campcree at Camp Durant on April 30, May 1, and 2. State and county Conservation and Wild Life officials will be on hand for the event. f Every Cub, Scout and Explorer will be expected to carry out a Conservation project during 1954 and most all will take the Wild Life pledge to conserve and pro tect all natural resources. Many projects are already un derway and by the end of 1954 an accounting will be made to the public. President's Message In his message to the Boy Scouts of America, President Eisenhower said: . “The wise and judicious use of our natural resources is of para mount concern to all Americans. The Boy Scouts of America, as heirs to the future, have much to lose or gain in the years ahead, depending on how those natural resources are managed today. “I believe that it would be par ticularly fitting if the Boy Scouts would undertake by concerted ac tion to arouse public recognition of the need for adequate protec tion and wise management of our soil, water, mineral, forest, grass land, and wildlife resources. I am confident that the Boy Scouts of America can make a very impor tant contribution in conservation educaltion.” The first step in the program is for each of the nation’s 3,400,000 Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explor ers, and adult leaders to agree to participate in the Conservation Good Turn and live up to the “Outdoor Code.” The acceptance of the Outdoor Code will lessen deliberate or careless vandalism in such plblic areas as state and national parks and forests. It will help stamp out the carelessness that leads to for est and grass fires and will pro mote courtesy and proper respect for the use of private land when camping, fishing, or hunting. Code Quoted The Outdoor Code that the members of the Boy Scouts of American are accepting reads: “As an American, I will do my best to: “Be clean in my outdoor man ners. I will treat the outdoors as a heritage to be improved for our greater enjoyment. I will keep my trash and garbage out of Ameri ca’s waters, fields, woods, and roadways. “Be careful with fire. I will pre vent wild fire. I will build my fire in a safe place, and be sure it is out before I leave. “Be considerate in the outdoors. I will treat public and private property with respect. I will rem ember that use of the outdoors is a privilege I can lose by abuse. “Be conservation-minded. I will learn how to practice good con servation of soil, waters, forests, minerals, grasslands, and wildlife; and I wull urge others to do the same. I will use sportsmanlike methods in all my outdoor activi ties.” Percy Gray of West Providence, R. I., and a Pinehurst visitor, was re-elected president of the Pine hurst Driving and Training Club in a recent meeting. H. Arnold Jackson, Pinehurst winter resi dent and harness horse owner, was elected chairman of the board. ' Named to the board of directors were: Octave Blake, Pinehurst winter resident, who is president of the Grand Circuit, George Reed and Wendel Wathen of Fort Fair- field, Maine, Ambrose D.

Training courses for Cub Leaders, Scout Leaders, Explorer Leaders, Commissioners and Troop Committeemen are go ing on in all of the 12 counties of the Council, including Moore.

Last year an intensive training program was conducted in the Council and now 48 per cent of the leaders have training certificates. Mr. Makepiece says that he hopes that this year at least 70 per cent of the Unit Leaders will have received train ing by the end of April.

RESORT MOTORS, Inc. A. R. McDonald Phone 2-7744 Southern Pines R. O. CARPENTER Two kinds of electricity WHICH DO YOU GET? Four out of five people get electricity from the more than 800 business-managed electric light and power companies. These com panies have tripled their supply of electricity in 15 years. And they have cut the average family price per kilowatt-hour by one-fourth. The other kind of electricity is produced by the federal government and distributed to several million families and businesses. The differences between the two are im portant. They affect you, your pocketbook and your future. Compare the differences: COMPANY ELECTRICITY GOVERNMENT ELECTRICITY 1. Its prices are strictly regulated by people chbsen to represent you. 2. It is available to everyone—without discrimination. 3. It comes from plants paid for by many thousands of investors. 4. It plays an important part in the free enter prise system of a free and strong America. 1. Its prices are exempt from normal regulation. 2. Certain favored groups have first call on it. 3. Its plants take tax money badly needed for other purposes. 4. It puts the federal government in business— it points to a government power monopoly —and socialism. When ypu hear talk of a new government power project, ask these two questions: Is it really necessary? Is it a job that can be done without tax money by America’s business-managed Electric Light and Power Companies? “YOU ARE THEBE"—CBS television—witness history’s (treat events C CAROLINA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY ) 0 MU A complete selection awaiting your choice in a distinctive variety of silhouettes, lines, fabrics and colors most flattering to you DRESSES for EASTER A wealth of beautiful numbers in your size ’s at your price —of— It’s not too soon to look at BATHING Robbins SUITS and we have ROBBINS, N.
