At The Kiwanis Club
. Rev. Gray Temple, Episcopal sec
tor of Rocky Mount, whose church
has sponsored an active troop which
has numbered, at one thtae or another
during its history, 26 Eagle Scouts,
spoke to the Kiwanis dub Monday
night aboutSoouting and listed three
reasons why he believes the move
ment deserves the support of every
citizen. The minister, introduced by
Rev. E. W. Holmes of the Farmville
Baptist church, stated that Scouts
are taught how to get along with
others—and to give and take while
doing so, they are^given a certain
amount of idealism and they axe
taught skills.
Rev. Temple, who serves as vice
president of the East Carolina Scout
Council, .prefaced his talk about
Scouts with ,the observation that we
are living on the cage of ah abyBs,
and that probably never before in Hie
history of our country have we felt
as ^secure as we now do. He point
ed' out that the power-loving dicta
tors have used youth movements to
spear-head: their work, and cited the
organizations built iin Italy by Mus
solini and in Germany by Hitler. He
asked that the club members support
the East Carolina Council and the
local troop in the financial cam
paigns.
Special guests of the club were
Scouts Johnny Dixon and Jimmy Joy
ner.
Police Chief L. T.. Lucas was a
guest of the club. He made a few
remarks about the bicycle safety
contest held here this week.
President Charles Edwards re
