Going tbrougb ane Scout's bed-roll be was surprised ta find an umbrella tucked be- tween the blankets. The itemr was not listed as Scout equipmeni an.d the director asked the boy ta t explain.

If prices keep going up the way they ae, tbe aid saying "country! boy goes ta City ta make bis for- tune," will reverse and City people will flock ta backwood Commun- ities in order ta live within their, means. Security* ..Most people believe that in order ta bhave security one must own bis own home. This is in the democratic tradition, and a tl4ree deck heading in one paper reads "Home Ownership Develops Feeling of Independence."1 We would like ta refute this Idea. You can achieve full security, food, shelter, clothing, medical attention and other deairables without even awning a home. Se- curity is available ta any Can- adian-every jail provides it.

A Rich- mond., Va., housewife on the ad- vice of a local repairman, stuffed little pieces of cotton through the holes on ber sereen door. Word got around, others tried it, evi- dently with success. In Washington, the Agricultural Secretary refused to comment. His aide. however, offered a tentative explanation.
