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

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.
