Thursday, October 27, 1949 Scout Campaign Now In Progress Funds are now being raised throughout the Old Hickory Boy Scout council to car ry on work for the coining year. Atten tion is being called to the fact that the campaign here also includes the excellent Girl Scout program. Scouting builds citizens by offering the boys and girls opportunity for training in leadership and achievement. Scouting also provides excellent training in accomplish ing many practical things. The activities for boys and girls are so varied that a multitude of merit badges may be earned. Naturally, it takes money to run scout ing programs. At the present time a trained and capable field executive is spending his full time in this area of the Old Hickory council and is adding much to the Boy Scout program with his work and leadership. Solicitors are now calling on the people to aid with their donations in keeping Scout work on the upgrade. Although scouting has made much progress, there are hundreds of boys in Wilkes county in need of scouting and who have not had scouting opportunities. If present plans materialize, scouting will be expanded to give opportunities for many more boys to participate. Professional Baseball Big Asset To Community All who were aware of the acute and desperate need for better recreational at tractions in this community and the en tire county only a few years ago will agree that professional baseball here has filled one great need for summer recreation. It has provided clean entertainment for all who like the national pastime. In addition to providing recreation, the coming of baseball has provided a number or other tangible assets, particularly at Memorial Park, which is used by every body, as participants or spectators. The baseball club erected the grandstand and placed a metal fence around the field, the fence alone costing about $1,000. The club also paid $2,000 on the total cost of about $3,500 for portable bleachers, and some other facilities were placed by the club, in exchange for rent of the park during the baseball season for three years. Now the club is faced with a desperate financial problem. The 1948 season was not successful financially. Class D base ball is rarely, if ever, a profitable propo sition from the standpoint of dollars and cents. But the 1948 season was excep tionally bad financially, and it has been carefully figured that with favorable con ditions a club here can break even. Twice as many games were rained out during the season as cduld be normally expected, and every rained out game represents a big loss. In August, when the team was draw ing top crowds, seven games were rained out, representing a cash loss of more than $4,000. The club is about $5,000 in the red, and bills must be paid if a baseball club keeps its franchise and operates. That is a law of baseball, just as much as that three strikes are out in the game. Two plans are offered for making of the deficit. One is sale of stock at $60 per share with proceeds of sale applying on the deficit. This stock is part of that now owned by Tal Pearson, club founder and president, who is donating it to help the club stay here and operate. The other plan is direct contribution from baseball fans and others who want to see baseball con tinue because they know it is good for the community. This is October and is the time to get ready for next year. The club must raise the money now in order to proceed with plans. Several moves are to be made to lessen the risk of a recurring deficit, and the club next year with an average break from the weather should be able to pay expenses. Few realise that it takes from $35,000 to $40,000 to operate a club for one season. In Elkin recently the club faced a situ ation almost identical with that here, and $5,000 was assured from baseball sup porters who declared that professional baseball was the greatest development in the recreational life of that community during its history. ? THE EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. When your thinking is bad, and you need something good to substitute for it, try these texts below. Substitute the good for the bad. "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Remember that bad thinking originates from Satan, while good thinking originates with God. The Bible says, "Resist the devil and he will flee from you." When evil starts to come, say in your mind vigorously and courageously, "Get thee behind me Sat an." This is step one. If you feel the need of forgiveness, memorize and repeat: "Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest "I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins . . . "Son, be of good cheer . . . Daughter, be of good comfort . . . Thy sins be for given thee." If you need strength, then memorize and repeat: "For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help three. . . . "For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his dis tress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the ter rible ones is as a storm against the wall. . . "So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him .... The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runneth into it, and is safe .... The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delighteth in his way . . . But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint." ~ - v?, - ? ? If you are afraid, memorize and repeat: "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be a fraid? When the wicked, even mine ene mies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell .... "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous foresak en, nor his seed begging bread .... "There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee . . . "And the Lord, He it is that doth go be fore thee; He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. "When thou passeth through the wat ers, I will be with thee .... "My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest." If you need guidance, memorize and re peat constantly: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understand-1 ing. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, | and He shall direct thy paths. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him ... "And thine ears shall bear a word be hind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and ye turn to the left ..." Rev. J. R. Bowman Preaching Dates Rev. J. R.
