The Boy Scout movement is a bigger ele ment in American life than the ordinary person would think. In the 30 years of touting over 9,000,000 have been engag ed in the work and? today over 1,300,000 boys and men are enrolled in the organi zation. Commenting on Boy Scout Week, The Reldsville Review said: "Now as never before, American adults are griving their time, energies and finan cial support to time-tested boys and girls organizations that help mold their chil dren into types of citizens that will guar antee the continued existence of the Unit ed States along the pattern set by the na tion’s founders who gave America its dem ocratic form of government and its preci ous heritage, the constitution and its bill of rights. “Supplementing existing organizations such as the home, church and school, the Boy Scouts of America engages boys’ leisure-time energies in outdoor life and activities of culture and practical values which lead boys to become dependable men. "Blvery president of the United States since William Hownrd Taft has been an enthusiastic supporter of Scouting and every American who knows anything about Scouting’s beneficial program ac knowledges it as worthy of continued con- Udence and trust.’’ • Elvery public spirited citizen should lend his influence toward promoting Scouting and should render material assistance as opportunities arise. A Lesson In Americanism Communist Leader Earl Browder has been sentenced to prison for four years for traveling under forger passports. He will have time, therefore, to ponder the impor tant difference between the way things are done in the land of his origin—America— and the land he seems to think is so much better—Russia. If the Red chief is a thoughtful man, he might well begin by pondering what would have happened to him if he had been a Russian in Moscow and had advocated that the Soviet change over to a democratic form of government based on the Ameri can patterns. Granted he was given a trial at all, it would be a political show, in which he would be pro.secuted for his dem ocratic beliefs, and be “liquidated” within 24 hours. . . The trial at which he was convicted m New York Citv recently was of a far dif ferent order. The jury was not concerned with the point that the defendant was a Communist; the prosecutor stuck closely to proof of the fact that Browder had us ed American passports, illegally—ip other words, that he had abused his privilege of citizenship. This was the only grounds upon which the man was convicted, and he was allowed to speak at great length in his own defense. Compared wth Brow der’s oratorical flight and his claim of be ing “persecuted” for his political color, the summation of the case by the D strict At- tomev b an object lesson m real Ampean- ism and real justice. Here is what he had S sav about Browder: “He has made a mockery of everything we hold dear—the sacred right of pass port bv which the American citizen travels abroad with the protection of the ’^ited ^states government; the proof of citizen-.

Such unnaual weather oondltloos only cause an extra amount of And it isn’t merely German citizens who are affected. Recently warnings have been broadcast that aliens residing in the Reich must obey the same law, against listening to alien radio programs. Considerable foreign information is probably smuggled In. Even so, Germany as a whole seems pretty well safeguarded against the entrance of truth regarding what is being done and said and thought in the free world outside. The Russians are still more isolated. It is an almost incredible situation, at a time when the means of enlightment are far greater than ever before. And this is perhaps the worst of all the misfortunes of the German people. Their lives and mmds are darkened by masters who do not dare to let them know the truth. SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT (Shelby Daily Star) On a day when Wake Forest college was celebrating its 106th birthday by tak ing stock of plans for medical school h(«- pital expansion, there came news of still more extensions in North Carolina’s train ing and treatment facilities in connection with disease and suffering. Duke university will add a department of psychiatry and mental hygiene dedicat ed to the alleviation of mental disease; Duke will also build an addition to stately hospital, an institution already famed for its exemplary service in spite of its comparatively few years of existence. The addition will provide 117 more beds. The Duke announcements are particu larly significant in view of increased em phasis on the state of mind as a factor in physician disease. Doctors come more and more to link the science of the mind to medical science. Medicine stresses more and more in its diagnosis and treatment the matter of mental makeups. Significance of the Duke purpose in psychiatry and mental hygiene has already been recognized in the Rockenfeller foun dation’s grant of $175,000 to support a full range of activities. Like the forerunning Duke hospital and medical school, the psychiatry-mental hygiene department and related program will be in a position to render fine service both from the stand point of isti'dent training and phychiatric unit-out-patient service, admirably supple menting the now existent phychology and neurotic work. The past record of achievement of the Durham institution’s medical service au gurs well for the success of the latest en deavor. .Porgress in Tarheel institutions truly marches on—and marches firmly and serviceably. _________ BE COURTEOUS TO CENSUS-TAKERS (Mecklenburg Times) Cf isus-takers are beginning to get around—for the business census at this time and in the immediate future and for the population count a little later. The gathering of information is a de- decennial census is such a public service that probably few citizens think otherwise than of wishing to be helptful in the under taking. Yet the director of the census Wil liam L. Austin; has issued a memorandum pointing out that a person may be fined up' to $100 or sentenced to 60 days in jail for refusal to answer a census question, or may pay a still higher penalty for giving intentionally incorrect information. At the same time census employees are stricti ly required to keep such information confi dential. A fine of $1,000 or two years ini- prisonment or both might follow the di- vulgring of personal data to an outsider. Under these conditions it is not worth the price to try to keep a secret from the census taker. Better meet him or her courteously and answer all questions ask ed honestly and with no attempt to with hold the information desired.
