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,

board. '

Nearly 1,000 Boy Scout leaders
are taking training courses in the
Occoneechee Council this month,
according to Harold Makepeace of
Sanford, council chairman of lead
ership training. 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.
Men and women involved in the
courses will receive instruction in
all phases of their work. The fac
ulty is composed of volunteer
leaders who have shown they can
teach others to carry out Scout
work.
Two years ago only 16 per cent
of the leaders of boys had had a
formal training course, though
most of them had Had individual
instruction from field Scout exec
utives. 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.
Paul Butler of near Southern
Pines is the training chairman for
Mcore County.

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?
