* following the WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1919 11 7 YLIISSSS SIL < N BOY SCOUTS OF TODAY, AS FUTURE CITIZENS A FAITH RESTORATIVE So common is the sight of the _ Scout uniform, so far-reaching is the Scout service, and so deep is its im- pression on the American imagina- tion, that it is hard to think that Scouts have not always been. 'There are times when all of us despair of the future of the race, so rampant seems evil, so triumphant and arrogant seem vice and selfish- ness. We know nothing that can so swiftly restore faith for humanity as the sight of a troop of uniformed Scouts. Give the Scout movement its right- ful chance and when America's present boyhood shall become Am- erica's manhood, a bond of comrade- ship, a bond of brotherhood, shall have been forged which it will be impossible to break. "Then we shall have the brotherhood "of man, then we shall have true Am- ericanism.--Anonymous. LUMBERMEN, SCOUT DADDIES The president of the Lumbermen's Credit Bureau of Miami, Fla., came in to the Scout headquarters recently, and created quite a stir. Before he could get seated, he asserted that the lumbermen of Miami wanted to "daddy" a troop of Boy Scouts. How did they do it? Easy. First, they had a desire to do a good turn by some of the boyhood of their city. 'Second, they decided they could do it best through Scouting. Third, they started out in the lumberman's way to get things done, and in three weeks they had a scoutmaster with nine boys to start a troop. INJURED SOLDIERS GO HOME; RED CROSS THANKS SCOUTS RR -- The Boy Scouts who have so faith- fully aided their "big brothers" in United States General Hospital No. 1, in the Bronx, New York City, are happy over a letter to them from Field Director Francis P. Nash, in 'which he says: "This hospital is to close, and as the Red Cross brings its activities to an end at this post I wish to thank your organization for the splendid service you have rendered during the months of activity here. "It would have been indeed difficult, if not impossible, to handle the crowd of visitors without the assist- ance of the Boy Scouts. They have done valiant work, not only here, 'but in other parts of the country as well." : . SCOUT TROOPS iN MILL One of the most interesting letters 'that have ever come tb the National Headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America contained the applications of five troops of boys employed in cotton mills in Georgia. Southwest LaGrange is the post office center for the four com- munities where these great mills are located. There is one troop each in the Unity Cotton Mills, the Unity Spinning Mills and the Elm City Mills and two troops for the Hill- side Cotton Mills. These lads who would be scouts have a vision of the future good citizenship upon which America 'must rely. The Fuller FE. Gallaway company 'has provided an auditorium, to be ar- ranged in five separate compartments, one for each troop. About twenty of the men in the mills will give time to helping the boy scouts in their program. WHAT BOY SCOUTS DO The unsightly rains left after a big fire in Catskill, N. Y., were such an eyesore that the Boy Scouts of Troop No. 1 cleaned up the place as a "good turn" for their city. A wheel chair was bought for an invalid boy by the scout troop in Poughquag, N. Y.
