The story Eddie Cantor told was this; ,, There were three little ra2-amuffins, sharp kids, who had to be sharp to survive, playing around the dirty streets of the New York Bowery. They had to live, for they very tenacious life, these youngsters.And they lived the best they know how. One day a business man, well dressed chap, walked through their street. saw them and stopped. “How would you boys like to go to a camp the mountains for. ten days?”’ The boys declared they “Alright,’” said the man, ‘‘get what things tocan and I will back were of in be camp they went. new and heavenIn_the higher cold at night. got up in the night and stole two. blankets off sojourners in an adjoining tent.

When they grew up and haa a lot of money, they would send more boys to mountain camps in the summer time. In time they did grow up and in time they did make a lot of money. And, at an annual cost of $150,000 those three men are giving 8,000 boys every summer an outing in the mountains. Eddie Cantor, the “Shrimp”, told this story to the Sacramento business men. Sacramento is raising $30,000 for its boy scouts. It really looks as if the amount would be oversubscribed. Nevada is launching a drive to build a and better scout organization in this community, and to erect-in Pioneers park a big cabin which the Boy Scouts and the Campfire Girls can call their home. This not being started because , we want to give our young people a “ood time.’’ It is being done in order to build, through a constructive process of youth activity and education in citizenship, barriers for those boys and girls against delinquencies that lead, to crimé, and against false thinking that~ leads to communism. In the democracy of boyhood under enlightened leadership character is trained for -good American citizen-. ship. It is far cheaper, from a dollar and cents standpoint to contribute generously to the scout organization than it is to take the boys after they become delinquent or criminal, Of 18,000 convicts in California, it was found that only two had ever been Boy Scouts, and these two had never gone beyond the tenderfoot rank. City bigger is There are 225 boys in Nevada City eligible to; either the Scouts or Cub organizations. The total membership in both organizations today is 61, of these 19 are cubs and 42 are scouts.
