Another high spot of Boy Scout Week celebration was the observance of Scout Sunday February 6th when Scouts attended church services in Scout uniform to gge visual evidence of their practice of the twelfth Law, "A ut is Reverent," and a personal greeting via radio by President Franklin D. Rooseâ€" velt, Honorary President of the Boy Scouts of America. _ _ The theme for the week, "Building a Stronger Generation" will be given meaning each day of Boy Scout Week as Scouts carry the story of the things thefi know and do to interest church, civic, and social groups in their home towns.

PAGE FOUZ _ Pioneers who came to this region found decaying remnants of a high wooden cross at a point near the south county line, in Highland Park. They replaced this with & new cross, established a cemetery near by, and built St. Mary‘s log church. This was about the year 1835, and Indians who were present stated that the old cross had been erected by the red men at the reâ€" quest of a "black gown," as they calleg a priest or missionary, and also declared that the cross put up by them replaced an older marker. It is to be inferred that Marquette or some of the French explorers had erected the first cross some time during the seventeenth century, A map that was drawn in 1783 shows a river somewhere in the secâ€" tion now occupied by the town of Newport, at the mouth of which is placed the inscription, "Little Fort." An English map, which was published in 1795, shows practically the same outline, with ‘Old Fort River,‘ as the name of the stream. The Hon. E. M. Haines, from his investigations, came to the concluâ€" sion that the Little Fort trading post was established by the French in 1695, while other students and writers fix the date as any where from 1721â€"1725. Early settlers told of a small earthwork, with decaying timbers that marked the rude inclosure that had been constructed for the proâ€" tection of traders. This was loâ€" cated at a point on the bluff at Wauâ€" kegan, about where Water street and Sheridan road intersect. Probâ€" ably this was a place where the traders bartered with the Indians TRAYELTALK. .

The killing of inâ€" nocent citizens by drunken drivers should not be~permitted. Gin and gas do not mix. Even if each is in a separate container, the two are bad company. But the question should not be when is a man drunk? A man who has had only one drink cannot have the same judgment or control that he would have without the liquor. I can see no plausible argument for his defense; it is dangerous to alâ€" low him to drive. It seems hard to get this lesson through people‘s heads, that drinking and ‘driving are two. very separate oponfiopl that have nothing in common. Again we ‘are confronted: with the hazard of slippery roads. For the next . fem: amazithouith o ; d emeressiaf What precautions are you taking? Do you drive along at your usual rate of speed and trust to" luck that you will not encounter anyâ€" thing that will call for a sudden stop? Many motorists doâ€"and laâ€" ter regretâ€"it. Applying your brakes when driving at a high rate of speed does not help. You merely slide along the icy pavement. The safe thing to do is this: drive slowly, approach intersections, stop signs, school zones, and traffic signals with cautions and care; think! s * For example: an item of furniture marked $50 Who cares about the rightâ€"ofâ€"way if an accident depends on it? Why worry about the rightâ€"ofâ€"way at nn‘ intersection, . crossroad, priv.te‘ driveway, or other road entrance when a few seconds‘ delay will elimâ€" inate the possibility of a smashâ€"up? Give the rightâ€"ofâ€"way to the other fellow and let him be on his way. In another two seconds you yourâ€" self will be on the safe side. That is courteous driving. It is the safest way. =© To drive openly and defiantly headlong into an intersection simply because you have the rightâ€"ofâ€"way is not an act of courtesy nor is it safe driving. Just ordinary good manners in driving an automobile will prevent as many accidents as reasongble care. The two go hand in hand and are inseparable.
