DISTRICT NEWS Officials of the Transylvania dis trict Boy Scouts have been busy during the past several weeks with work clearing the way for different Scout units to function properly. The organization and extension committee, headed by Cecil Hill, has been besieged with requests for new Boy Scout troops in out lying districts. This year new troops have been organized at Pen rose Community club and at Glade Creek Baptist church. Among the communities anxious to start new troops are Cherryfield, Quebec and Cedar Mountain. There has been a good deal of work done on organiz ing an Explorer post, sponsored by the junior chamber* of commerce. Mr. Hill’s committee has visited with interested members of clubs and churches, showing film and ex plaining the organization necessary for starting new units in scouting. Before this year is over, Mr. Hill states that he should have at least five new units chartered and doing business with newly registered Scouts and Scouters. It is the duty of the organization committee to present renewed char ters each year to fully registered Scout units. Mr. Hill’s committee has had charter presentation cere monies to the following Boy Scout troops in the last few weeks: Tur key Creek Baptist church, Troop 9; First Baptist church, Troop 2; Ki wanis club, Troop 1; Oak Grove Methodist church, Troop 11; Shoal Creek Baptist church, Balsam Grove, Troop 16; Dunn’s Rock Com munity club, Troop 14; and Bethel A Baptist church, Troop 10. With these new charters, there are 13 Boy Scout troops and two Cub Scout packs in Brevard and outlying districts fully manned with leaders trained to do a service to boys. These units are meeting weekly with a registered member ship of approximately 275 boys. When the fall activities start it is expected that the membership will increase to at least 325. The wide j spread of Scout units in Transyl vania county offers to every boy BREVARD COLLEGE (From Front Pace Second 8m.) turning again to Rome. Italy today is rich in culture, his tory and tradition. When one walks in the magnificent and beautiful cathedrals, through art galleries and museums, along crumbling city walls that stand as relics of another age, he is seized by a sense of time lessness, and overwhelmed by the accomplishments of men and God. Economically, Italy is a poverty ridden nation. It happens not to be blessed with natural resources necessary to provide an adequate standard of living for its people. It is plagued with the age-old prob lems of over-population, wide spread unemployment, and pitifully little industry. One out of ten per sons is unemployed, and as many more have only seasonal employ ment, the annual average income per capita being only $350. Six hundred thousand families still live in caves, under stairways, within arches of Roman Aqueducts, or in improvised homes built with de bris of World War II. A country the size of California, Italy has 48 million inhabitants. The people in the north fare much better than the people in the south, but even their standard of living is extreme ly poor, judged by the standards found in America. However, in spite of stark pover ty, problems of all kinds, and hard ships, the Italian people are hap the opportunity of joining in and taking part in scouting. Another adult Scout committee has been busy recently organizing and training to give better service to boys. This is the commissioners, headed by Harry Kolman. Mr. Hol man has a number of neighborhood commissioners whose job is to keep in contact with different units of scouting, helping in program plan ning and other ways which will be of service to the units. When a Scout troop has a problem or wants an explanation in proper function, it is the commissioners who come to their assistance. COMMITTEE TO MEET There will be a meeting of the Transylvania district committee on Friday night of this week in the office of Duke Power company. District committee chairman, Charles Dunlop, urges all members to attend. Meeting time is 7:30 o’clock. Insurance Company Adopts New Name Carl W. Stephens, local agent, has announced a change in name of the Farm Bureau Insurance com pany, of Ohio, on September 1 to Nationwide Insurance. Mr. Stephens explained that the name is being changed because in a number of states there are al ready “farm bureau” companies, which resulted in confusion. Premium rates will remain the same, Mr. Stephens said, and the same benefits as in the past will apply. The Farm Bureau Insurance company, of Ohio, has more than 2,000,000 policy holders in 13 states. The change in name, according to Mr. Stephens, was approved by the company-wide Policyholder Advisory committee. pv, lovable people. It seems they have been accustomed to such hard ships and time has taught them a marvelous working philosophy of life. Marshall Plan aid has improv ed the economy of the country considerably, and the people as a whole are most appreciative. The economy of the country has almost completely recovered the damages of World War II and the people do enjoy higher standards and produc tivity than before the war. The Italian government is making great strides in improving the lot of the poor through land reforms and so cial legislation. However, it will take years to really solve the prob lems of this land. Communism is losing strength fast. In fact, Italian communism was never of the Marxist variety; the vast majority of persons who voted the Communist ticket in the last election were Roman Catholics who were dissatisfied with their poor economic condition and were crying for more bread. The Italian people like not only the American dollars; they like the American people as well. In a re cent popularity poll the United States was chosen first among all other nations by a wide margin. Our trip in France and through Italy has been most delightful and we have been treated with every courtesy and consideration. Our dis finguished American hostess in Italy was the American ambassa cor Mrs. Clara Booth Luce, who gave us an audience in the Ameri can Embassy.
