There were no extraordinary fevents scheduled; the usual program of* Scout instructions, songs, and gSmes was held, but it went off very smoothly, and with a great deal of fun for all. First we gave the salute to the Flag of the United States. At every meeting several boys are selected to be the Color Guard. They take the flag and march before the line of saluting Scouts.

This Congress is doing under the spur of the militant House Republicans and the real Democrats. The next course is to trim down the level of previous expenditures where such cuts will not throw "several millions" out of work. This can be done by squeezing the political racketeering out of relief, without hurting in any way those in genuine distress. It can be done by squeezing the waste out • of other spending. It can be done by ending the construction of bridges over "rivers" with no water in them; building canals that none wish; halting the millions of dollars spent annually on New Deal propaganda and publicity. Oh yes, it would Only be a few millions here and there, but those few millions when multiplied soon become billions.
