Friendship u Basis
For WorldPeace
Friendship among the youth of
the world is a Strong base for a
continuing world peace, according
to Bobby Matthews, .who recently
returned from a tour of Europe.
The 18-year-old Hertford Boy
Scout, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred T.
Matthews, was one of 18 Boy Scout
leaders, selected from Region III
to participate' in the Scout project
"World Friendship Exchange".
Upon his' return from' Europe
Bobby said; ' , ' ., , ' -:
"Once "you've made friends with
boys in! foreign countries you
wouldn't , any more' want to fight
them' than you'd want to-fight your
&ienda.here: It ihoijl4- certainly
help jtoward world peace for the"
votinfir DeoDle to Decome irienmy
with one another.'- We're, all pretty
much, alike' regardless of where we
live." .:.
' The trip was sponsored by the
World and National Scouting Or
ganization' and the U. S. govern-
.'.ment furnished transportation. The
civic clubs of Hertford also helped
make Bobby's tour possible.
.The boys and their leaders, who
sailed from New York on a Navy
transport ; on July , 12, landed in
Germany. There ' the party sep
arated irito two groups, one visiting
Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium-and
The Netherlands. Bob
by's' groqp toured Germany, The
Netherlands, England and Scot
land. ' '
The first thing he noticed, he re
called, was the "oldness and qualnt
ness of Europe." In Germany, he
admired the working spirit and the
comeback the people are making.
., English Traditions Impressive
The traditions, the 'castles and
the greait respect and love the peo
pie have .for Queen Elizabeth im
pressed him in England and Scot
land. ,;,.:,: i 1 ....

"If I happened to be where no
body spoke English," he remarked,
"I got along all right by using my
hands."
Everywhere he went he made

families. ' , -: ;
While in Scotland, he attended a

Atholl in the central highlands,
where 18 countries were repre
sented. '.' . ' : ' '
As a memento of his tour, he
