James is a Life Scout, holding 29 1

proud of this Scout for qualifying as j
a mmber of the "Rangers", the best
tiained, toughest, fightingest, division
in the United States Army and at the

The character building program of

the main job of the organization to
keep up the regular program with
the addition of wartime activities

\ age collection. Boys from 12 to 15
years may become Scouts, and those

Pack for boys 9 to 12 years, will be
organized in this community soon.
"On my honor: I will do my best

and morally straight" ? that is the
program of Scouting as expressed in
the oath of each Scout.

One of the greatest adventures the
Eoy Scouts of America has brought
to the American boys, /says Elbert K.
IVetwell, Chief Scout Executive, has
been "the adventure ol' friendship, the
brotherhood that speaks around the
world." ' 1
In his message to the. Boy Scouts I
of America on their 35th anniversary
which will be observed from Feb. i
8 to 14, Dr. Fretwell believes that "the
'Scouts of the World ? 'Brothers To
gether' will do their part to build the
tiiumphant new world."
His message follows:
"For 35 years Souting has brought
to American boys a great adventure,
the adventure of the out-of-door^,
smoke rising from the camp fire, the
lure of unblazed trails. It has brought
the adventure of citizenship, serving
other people, the Good Turn Daily,
helping to win the war. These and
many other adventures have captured
the imagination of boys. Onfc of the
greatest of them all has been the ad
venture of friendship, the brother
hood that speaks around the world.
"In practically every civilized coun
try on the earth, Scouts are dedicated
to tolerance, good-will and friendli
ness. There are 1,800,000 of us here.
There are over 3,000,000 . brother
Scouts throughout the world. We like
al? of them as Tennyson put it, as "a
glorious company, the flower of men,
t serve as model for the mighty
world."
"The time, God willing, will come
soon, when the 'Scouts of the World ?
Brothel* Together' will do their part
to build the triumphant new world,
more gtorious because of their devo
tion {o Scouting's high ideals and ser
vice."
Army Seeks Seven Platoons
Of Women From N. C.
In a letter to Governor G. R.
Cherry, asking that he exercise his
leadership, Chief of Staff, George C.
? Marshall, General of the Army, urged
that seven platoons of women be re
cruited immediately from North Car
olina to be trained as members of
Women's Army Corps General Hos
pital Companies.
"With Army casualty lists steadily
mounting and because of the critical
shortage of doctors and nurses in
Army hospitals, the only final source
of potential aid is from women be
tween the ages of 20 and 49", said
Governor Cherry.
"It is North Carolina's sacred honor
and duty," continued the Governor,
"tc help restore the health of these
wounded heroes, many of them our
own Carolina boys, and I know our
women will never fail these men as
they are again called upon to fight
this time a difficult rehabilitation
struggle ? the Battle of America."

inclinations and preferences, would

for a particular type of training to
