;v->'£ <1 •' wt because the romance uirf adventure of the Boy Scout Program appeals to nearly every boy, is not sufficient reason why every boy should have the benefits of Scouting. Boys like many activities; some of those activities are good for boys and some are not. Scouting has carefully selected a wide range of activities «, which boys like and which are good for boys. Also, these desirable and helpful activities of Scouting are enjoyed by the boys under the direction of the best available adult leaders in each community. After the careful selection of these leaders, they are trained not only in the technique of Scouting and Boy Nature, but in the proper ap plication of the former to the latter for the most successful results in the development of good character habits. So a boy joins not a Boy Scout Troop, but o^e of the Patrols in a Troop. This Patrol is the natural gang for a certain group of boys, (following boy nature) with a gang leader or Patrol Leader. While the boy satisfies His natural urge to belong to a "g»r«g." This gang has an added appeal cf a great National and World Organization with attractive uniform and ceremonies, and he "must seriously subscribe to Scouting's fine Code of Ethics, known as the Boy Scfp| Path andLaw as follows: The Scout Oath > ON MY HONOR I WILL Dd MY BEST: 1. To do my duty to God and . Iny country and to obey the Scout ' Law. 2. To help other people at all JteiesJ , T 8. To keep myself physically mentally awake, and nor- . ally straight. - ~ -- The Scout Law . ; A. SCOUT IS -- Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, l&iendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, Reverent. To help a boy, or anyone for that matter, successfully develop the good habit of courtesy, dependability, the spirit .of service, or any of the desirable character traits in the Scout Oath and Law, requires properly planned and executed activity with situations encouraging the expression of these good habits, to the satisfaction of the boy. the satisfacion of the individual so that he will tend to repeat the desired response in similar situations. The Scout Program provides activity based upon progression from rank to rank, with a plan for recognition of such achievement in a public Court'of Hynor. The ranks are Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Olass, Star, Life, and Eagle, including over 100 Merit Badges of prevocational subjects from .which the boy may select subjects for exploration into so many phases of the "World's Work." This is the big work of the man who serves as Seoul master of eachjw Troop.

Rowling, who was rushed to the hospital, following examination by an Antioch physician, suffered from a pelvis bone broken in two places. The fracture necessitated an operation. He is survived by his widow and several brothers and sisters. The Prehm hardware store at Lake Zurich is now under the management of a member of the third generation of this well known family. Herman Prehm, son of Walter H. Prehm, and August Knigge have taken over the business, and will operate under the firm name of Lake Zurich Hardware Co. The business was founded over 40 years ago by H. L. Prehm, and has been conducted for the past 20 years by his son, Walter H. Prehm. The latter has purchased a resort at Diamond Lake, and will give his attention to that business enterprise.

Kane, who is secretary of the Lake County Farm Bureau, and prominent in Lake County farming circles, was driving the bull into a pen when the animal suddenly turned on him and crushed him against the fence of the yard. The animal ceased its attack long enough for Kane to drag himBelf to safety under the yard fence. He cabled help from the nearby barn, who on determining the extent of his injuries, rushed him to the hospital, where he was attended by a physician. His injuries are not believed serious at this time, but he is expected to be confined to the hospital for several weeks. Belated reports of thefts may be better than none, but it doesn't give the Des Plaines police, much of an opportunity to make a solution of the case. Such was the case when Harry Toteberg on Tuesday of last week reported to Des Planes police a burglary that had occurred on March 1. Mr. Toteberg had heard that the police had apprehended some burglars and thought perhaps they were the ones that had taken his tools. He reported the theft of one set of drills, a plane, hammer and two saws.
