Scouting - America’s Bulwark
Reports that efforts have been made to infiltrate the Boy_
Scouts of America with Communist agents caught millions of
Americans by surprise last summer. 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.

LEAVING TOWN . . . 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.
G<XP LEADER ... Republicans
don’t cut much of a swath in North
Carolina, but the blame does not
lie with those in Yadkin. For, in
the lovely, golden, halcyon days
of the New Deal, that spot, always
went Republican: State, national
ly, and locally, too, with one minor
exception which still rankles both
Republicans and Democrats, the
former because they kit it happen
and the latter because they could
not make it happen again.
Anyway, in this year when the
Republicans are looking up again,
Yadkin is in the middle of the
fray. The GOP candidate for State
Superintendent 6t Public Instruc
tion is Jeter 'Haynes, native of
Yadkin now school principal aft
Summerfield. He is a former mem. 1
ber of the State House of Repre
sentatives from Yadkin.
The Republicans have as their
candidate for Commissioner of La
bor W. E. Rutledge. Longtime
owner of the Yadkin Ripple,
widely regarrded as the voice of
Republicanism "“in Yadkin, Rut
ledge is also in the outdoor ad
vertising business.
ixicxi nidi* iu n«u ry
McMullan, the Republicans dip
ped again into talent-laden Yad
kin. This time they came up with
Avalon E. Hall, also of Yadfcin
ville, who for many years was the
only Republican Superior Court
solicitor. He was beaten in 1948 by
Republican ARle Hayes of North
Wilkesboro, distant relative of
Johnson J. Hayes,
Little Yadkin should feel proud
of the fact that it has three sons
running for State office, each of
whom could fill he position for
which he strives creditably. And
whether they make the grade or
not should make little difference.
INCIDENTALLY’ ... We see
by her column Incidentally in the
News and Observer that Nell Bat
tle Lewis one of the more influen
tial women of the State isn't say
ing -much about the Presidential
campaign. If as, and when she
does say much somebody is sure
to get a hotfoot. j,1 ,

DANIEL 8TANDS A8 THE
UNCORRUPTIBLE MAN
Much is being said these days
in many circles about corruption.
Apparently many people believe
corrupt influences have crept into
some of our high places where
the trust of ithe people is sacred.
There is a definite need at the
present time for a re-assertion of
the standards of right living. The
best example standing through the
ages is the prophet Daniel. He is
held up as an example of mormal
courage, a man with right-living
standards.
But it is one thing to asset and
iefine these standards and an
>ther 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.

nations using the Boy Scout pro

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
