But we shouldn’t have been surprised. Rather, we should have expected it. The Boy Scouts would be the juiciest plum of all for in this organization, the Communists could reach the youth, and through the youth of today, they would assure themselves of success in the world of tomorrow. <• But the statement by Chief Scout Executive, Dr. Arthur A. Schuck was something new. Instead of trying to hide the fact that the Communists had been attempting to nibble away at the Scouting movement, he admitted it. It turned out that the Communist efforts had never really gotten Underway, and this failure on their part was due to the fact that Scout ing, in thfe thousands of towns and villages throughout Ameri ca, is a community affair. There is nothing secret about it. It is almost impossible, as Dr. Schuck pointed out, for a Communist to become a Scout of course^;'3jjgg entire community is composed of Communists. Each Scout unit (cub pack. Scout troop. Explorer Po^t, Ship, or Squadron) is sponsored by some reputable organiza tion, such as a church or civic club. This sponsoring group selects a unit committee from its membership, and this unit committee, in turn, selects the’unit leadership. The names of these leaders are approved by the local district organization, they are then scrutinized by the council orgaiiization, and fin ally, they are approved by the national organization. Some where along the line, it person of unsuitable character would get tripped up. “ . As a result of this close check, Commuhists have found the Scouting organization a hard nut to crack. Their efforts have been wasted the Scouting remains, just as it has been for 42 years, the greatest free youth movement in the world. No lead er, in all its thousands of local units containing over 2,000, .000 boys, may hold his position without first expressing faith in God. No boy may become a member without first subscrib ing to the Scout Oath, to do his duty to God and his country, and the Scout Law which states that “a Scout is reverent.” The local Boy Scout fund raising drive is being held this week to raise the largest budget in its history. A successful drive will mean that Scouting will grow even stronger during the year, and a strong Scout program will help keep America strong’ in the years which lie ahead. When a friend or neighbor knocks on your door, give gen erously to an organization that stands guard over the Amer^an heritage of freedom, of decency and justice.

The above may partially explain why your money is leaving town. In 1900, the local government re ceived 65 cents out of eadj tax dollar, the Statte government re ceived 15 cents, and the Federal Government, 20 cents. Today the local government re ceives only 13 cents, the State 14 cents, and the Federal Govern ment 73 cents out of each of yoifr tax dollars. That is why Powell Bills and other such pieces of legislation are necessary, and that is why the en tire tax structure must be reexam ined to the end that local govern ment can continue to function. Gther to induce men to follow hem. ' To the contrary, the call of self nterest urges man to run rough shod over others, completely ig noring their rights and interests md only considering his own. Al so, false standards of conduct which are found to be widely ac cepted in practice policy and pre cept today help increase the amount of evil trends active in the world. Therefore the resolve for right Living must be insistent, forceful and persistent. Daniel and his companions dared to stand against the lure of a false, corrupting so cial atmosphere. They recognized and resisted the dangers of bow ing (to evil fwces. Instead they chose to follow the dictates of their consciences and accept only the standards of right living. The greatest problem confront ing the church today is that of making “right living” attractive to those who do not feel any com pulsion to follow these principles. Often it appears the churches have grown a little complacent and are content to live within their sphere, ignoring the masses out sider Those who followed the Master brought outsiders into the Chris tian fellowship we need more of this spirit today. The practice of seeking out others and bringing them to Jesus might be the answ er to a difficult question.

There are more than five million Boy Scouts and leaders in the 52 nations using the Boy Scout pro gram Last week we discussed briefly the subject of permanent and win ter lawns Because there are situ ations where it is not practicable to grow grass or build a lawn it is timely to say something about “ground covers”. A ground cover is some low growing plant or vine which wfll cover areas where grass will not grow—such as heavily shaded spots, steep banks or stony areas. There are a number of plants that may be used as grounjd covers, namely: English ivy, vinca (peri winkle), Pachysandra (Japanese Spurge), ajunga (Bu^le wedl), end Ophiopogon japonicum (lily turf). All of these are evergreen and most of them are hardy throughout the state except pos sibly Ophiopogon which is hardy east of the mountains. Of the above named plants English ivy and periwinkle are well known to most gardeners and we will not discuss them. They are viny plants and are common ly used to cover Pachysandra (Japanese?^ an upright evergreeT^ tog about 4 6 in**® and spreading by mea*J rootstocks ft **ad« and is well adLffl cooler areas.
