Wherever you may travel you will sooner or later see the familiar sight of the Boy Scout uniform, excepting countries dominated by dictators. The Boy Scout Move ment is the first organization in every dictator dominated country to bo disbanded, which in itself speaks well for Scout training. Scouts can be found from Pt. Barrow, Alaska, America’s north ermost outpost, to Key West; from Maine to California; in the Philip pines, and Hawaii; and yes, at the South Pole when Admiral Byrd makes an expedition. Yet, there are communities in East Carolina without Scout Troops! To remedy this situation the Boy Scout Council is making a concerted drive for funds to make Scouting available to more boys than ever before If you, Mr. Citizen, will do your part by contributing liberally to this program, America will be far safer for Democracy, and her youth will be far better trained to main tain that Democracy! and Mr. Barnes attended Chowan College.
