February, a month of notable
birthdays, sees the celebration of
a "Birthday" in which all Ameri-
cans can properly join. BOY
SCOUT WEEK, February 6 to 12,
reminds us that one of America's
largest youth organizations has
reached another milestone.
The Boy Scouts of America has
reached its forty first anniversary.
Since February 8, 1910, more than
17,750,000 American boys and men
have been influenced by the Scout
Oath and Law. They have bene-
fitted by using their leisure time
energies in outdoor living and ac-
tivities of cultural and practical
values which lead boys to become
dependable men.
Today over 2.750,000 boys and
men are actively enrolled in over
75.000 different units. Fortunate
indeed are communities where
Scouting flourishes. The. Mt. Las-
se Area Council closed 1950
With a roster of 130 Units of Cub
Packs. Scout Troops and Exnlorer
Posts and served more boys than
ever before in its history. Over
4.000 awards were made which
included many Eagles. the highest
award. American- adults of good
character give enerously of his
time to give leadership. Others
help by raising funds and are
members of the Scout Council
which in turn provides trainlng
for leaders, camp facilities, worth-
while year-around activities, per-
sonal advancement and opportun-
ities for Scouts to render Com-
munity service.
In celebration of this birthday,
the Boy Scouts are engaged in
a nation-wide: recruitment, they
are collecting clothing to meet
emerbency needs abroad, and are
stepping up their training and get-
ting prepared to serve in Civilian
Defense.
May you have many more hap-
py birthdays, Boy Scouts!

NOTES
The so-called "Great Debate"
has been in progress now for sev-
eral weeks. The results, or lack
of results, have been reflected in
the mail received in this office.
The preponderance of letters ap-
pear tO reflect the bitterness, dis-
appointment and confusion of the
American people. A few examples
from my file may be of interest,
man writes in to say: "It is
a shame that there is not a sup-
reme power that could gather up
all you mangy politicos in the pre-
sent New al Government and
head the gang with the little
bankrupt letter writer witl the
bird brain . . . and put the entire
the-rear ranks of the re-
trouble with our country today
seems to he that the politicians
in Washington are afraid to do
anything they think miglt lose
a vote." €
One write says: "Since when has
it beconse the duty of our gov-
vernnent to prostitute our re-
sources, bankrupt our economy and
squander the lives of our Ameri-
can youh for the .so-called wel-
fare of our allies, who by their
pitiful lack of cooperation have
so forcefully shown us that we are
beng played for the world's prize
sucker."
