A; major activity of the Boy Scouts of. America's four-year ^program,v "Onward for God and j*jw) Country," will be nationwide • campaign to urge citizens to register and vote in the elections this fall. / Dr. Arthur A. Schuck, chief scout executive, said that a record membership of over 4,175,000 _Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers and adult leaders will take part in the 1956 get-out-the-vote campaign, jointly sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America and w>e Freedoms Foundation, Inc., of Valley Foipge. The campaign will be strictly non partisan in its concept and execution, the chief scout execu-. tive said. "As we make preparations for this participation," he said in a message to the nation's 538 local ) 3oy Scout councils, "we recall the outstanding successes we experienced in our last similar campaign. Many people have called it our most significant contribution to the nation." In 1952, Scouts distributed more than one million posters and thirty million Liberty Bell doorknob hangers to the homes of •America, which helped to bring a record turnout of 61,500,000 voters. - Calling the campaign an opportunity to serve the nation, . Dr. Schuck said it will have two major outcomes. Through participation of Scoutings* entire membership, a great influence, he feels, can be exerted among parents, relatives, neighbors and others to produce a record vote and thereby strengthen the nation. Every Scout taking part, he said, will better understand his > Responsibility as a citizen. He called on the nation's local Boy Scout councils to make every phase of the campaign dramatic, colorful and oustanding in order to capture the enthusiasm and imagination of every American citizen. The success of the campaign, he said, cannot be measured alone by the numbers of posters ^nd doorknob hangers distributed, but by a larger number of voters than ever before "having a better understanding and ap- . preciatjpn of their American heritage," and by the number of "individual Scouts who through their participation shall have a larger concept of citizenship." Since a principal reason for not voting is failure to register, the Ijioy Scouts' first activity will be get potential voters to regi- ,Ater„. .. ' ..... . Attractive four-color posters-- one and a quarter million of them--will encourage citizens to register and to vote. These posters bear the slogan, "Vote as you think, but vote Nov. 6." .Before registration dates these posters will be placed where they will be seen by many people in stores, hotels, transportation terminals, soda fountains, doctors' offices, factories, newsstands. social clubs, utility offices and other heavy traffic centers. Then, just before Nov. 6, the Scouts and leaders will begin the largest distribution job in America, except for the delivey of income tax blanks. They will call at 35,000,000 homes across America and place on doorknobs a ganger shaped like the Liberty ^3ell. These hangers bear the message, "Heed youth's call. Vote as you think, but vote Nov. , v ' 6,1956. Use your freedom' to vote." Householders will be asked to display these hangers in their windows indicating their intention to vote. "The Boy Scouts of America is happy to cooperate again with the Freedoms Foiindatipn in this significant nationwide campaign," said Dr. Schuck. "We will be responsible for the over-all execution of the campaign, while the Freedoms Foundation has undertaken the invaluable responsibility of financing the production and distribution of necessary materials of necessary materials to our. local councils." VISITORS FROM 34 STATES At MUSEUM IN HOUH Chicago's popularity with vacationists and other tourists from all over the country this summer is graphically reflected in a special study made a recent Sunday afternoon by the Chicago Museum of Sciertce and Industry. In a one hour period, between 1:45 and 2;45 p.m. automobiles from thiry-four of the forty-eight states, as well as one from Puerto Rico and) a couple from Canada, were checked in the Museum's parking area. Outside of the natural heavy predominance of visitors from downstate Illinois and other nearby midwestern states, the hundreds of cars lined up fender to fender in the parking lot came from such widely separated regions as the states of Washington and California on the Pacific coast; Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama in the Deep South; Texas' and Oklahoma in the Southwest; and Virginia^- Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut and New York on the Atlantic. One interesting fact brought out in the check up is that folks from* Florida and California seem to be the nation's heaviest travellers. At one period during thhe hour's study there were eight different aut<fs on the parking lines from Florida and seven from California. The Maryland licenses were only exceeded by cars hailing from Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin Michigan, Iowa and Ohio.

CHARLES F. CARPENTIER See r e t 3 ry of S t .1 to Many motorists are unaware of a recent ruling by the Illinois attorney general which dealt with motorists who cause or contribute.u to an accident but are not actually involved in the accident, According to the ruling, a motorist may be prosecuted if he fails to'Stop after his manner of driying has caused other cars to become, involved in an accident. fror an example, one car might stop on the highway a following car might also stop and then be struck by a third vehicle proceeding in the same direction. The driver of the first car would not actually be physically Involved In the accident. w The ruling also states that lack of actual knowledge of the accident and damages on the part of the defendant is no defense itself if the evidence establishes circumstances justifying application of the rule of law that he should have had knowledge of the accident and resulting damage caused by his conduct. Every motorist should know that he should stop after he himself has become involved in an accident. In many cases aid will be needed by the driver of the other vehicle. It may even be necessary to summon a physician or an ambulance. In addition, sometimes it will be necessary to make a report to the Division of Highways, and to fill out such a report correctly and in full. Some of the information required is obtainable only from the driver of the other vehicle.

Tidy Carpets and Rug£ HOME OF TIDY RUG CLEANERS 200 Washington St. f Junctions 120 and 14 WOODSTOCK, ILLINOIS BIBLE, ALMANACK AND PRAYER BOOK The following ingenious legend was first published as a half-penny broadsheet in England around the time of the American Revolution: "Richard Middleton. a soldier, attending divine service in Glasgow with his . ( regiment, I V instead oft ^ pulling out a B i b l e , l i k e t h e o t h e r s , spread a pack of cards be* fore him. This behaviour did not long pass unnoticed, both by the clergyman and the sergeant of the company; the latter requested him to put up the cards, end on his refusal, conducted him after church before the Mayor, to whom he preferred a formal complaint. 'Well, soldier! (said the Mayor) what excuse have you for this scandalous behaviour? It you can assign any reason for it, it's well; if you cannot, assure yourself that I will cause you to be severely punished for it.* 'Since ' your honour is so ,good,' replied Richard, 'I will inform you. I have been, eight days on march, with bare allowance of sixpence a day,, without Bible, Prayer Book or al»y other good book,* On saying this, Richard drew out his pack of cards, and presenting one of the Aces to the Mayor, continued: '"When I see an Ace, may it please your honour, it reminds me that there is only one God; and when I look upon a Two or . a Three, the former puts me In mind of the Father and Son, and the latter of the Father. Son. and Hdlv Ghost. A Four calls for remembrance the Four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. A Five, the five wise Virgins who were ordered to trim their larffes. A Six, that in six days God created heaven and earth. A Seven, that on the seventh day He rested from all that He had made. An Eight, of the eight righteous persons preserved from the. deluge. A Nine, of the nine lepers cleansed by Our Saviour: there were ten, but one only returned to offer thanks. And a Ten, of the Ten Commandments that God gave Moses on Mt. Sinai.' He took the Knave and set it aside. 'When I see the Queen, it puts me in mind of the Queen of Sheba; And when I see the King, it puts me in mind of the Great King of Heaven and Earth, which is God Almighty; and likewise. his Majesty King George the Fourth, to pray for him.' 'Well,' said the Mayor, "you have given a good description of all the cards except one, the knave, which is lacking.' " 'Well,' returned the soldier, 'the greatest knave that I know is the sergeant who brought me before you.' 'I don't know,' replied the Mayor, 'whether he be the greatest knave or no; but I am sure he is the greatest fool.' "The soldier then continued: 'When I count the number of dots in a pack of cards, there are 365. so many days as in a year. When I count how many cards are in a pack, I find 52, so many weeks are there in a year. So that this p^ck of cards is both, Bible, Almanack, and Prayer Book to me.' "The Mayor called his servants, ordered them to entertain the soldier well and said he was the cleverest fellow he ever heard in his life."
