He is a very busy man, but he finds time to do his share In making this world a better place to live, by training better men tor the fu ture. He is a man who loves to work and play with boys, a man that believes in the Ideals of Scout ing. He knows that Scouting will help make your son a better 'citizen, a man of strong character and a man that is developed properly in body and mind. He is a man who seldom gets a word of thanks from the pa rents of his Scouts or any other citizen of the community, yet he attends meetings every week to train your son to be a better man. Most people think that Scouting for an adult is just a one night a week job. That my friend is wrong; there isn't a Scout leader in this county that doesn't average three nights a week working in some way for the boys of his unit Any man who gives this mucn time should have a 'big hand shake from the parents and citizens of his com- munity, because he is doing a great joo xor me yuum ui uur uuW.
