The rai Good Deed :
Perhaps one of the greatest human stories of our present
civilization, is that of the Boy Scouts. In all ages, under all
conditions, nature seems to counteract one influence with another. Whether it be in the realm of plant, animal or human
kind, she takes this method of establishing equilibrium.
In the plant world there is a constant battle between the
useful and the noxious growing things. The same is true in the
‘animal world. Every deer, every fish that swims, every useful animal that roams the hills and plains in search of food,
must be constantly on the alert to danger.So.in the realm of
things human, it is only natural that similar conditions should
govern our actions.
Cities began to grow larger. Social and moral conditions
in the cities became confused. Trouble began to brew among
the youngsters who had no place but the streets of tenement
sections to play and spend their idle time. To counteract this
influence an organization known as the Boy Scouts, grew up
and began to flourish. Today as the result of the efforts of this

We cannot tell yet, of course,
what repercussions this series of
events may have on the German
people, but without wishful thinking, it cannot be said to be anything but depressing. For us the
lesson of the first world war and
this one of today mean. simply
that the United States must tote
its fair share of the burden of
keeping the world at peace, or be
forever embroiled in war. For the
Germans, provided they are again
defeated, the lesson may be that
force is futile in a world so closely tied together as in our world of
today; and that the only justice to
be had, is that guaranteed — by
agreement among the community
of nations.

mend settlement. It can make reports public. Through the
pressure of an aroused public opinion only can it become effective.
The mediation board is a preliminary step toward control of employer and labor during the war emergency, and
possibly afterwards. If this form of strike preventive fails, the
congress will be forced to give the mediation board full authority to act. If that fails, the army will be forced to take military steps to enforce production in war industries. Threat of
the army to step in has already been noticeable in some strikes. .
Any employer or any group of employes who deliberately brings about a strike in any essential defense industry is
working against America and endangering the nation’s future
. } security. If mediation is resisted; if a fair settlement of the difference is rejected, if the trouble is prolonged without sound
reason or cause then the party, or parties, responsible is deliberately attempting to harm America and bring peril upon
130,000,000 people:
The people of this nation are willing to be fair-minded in
all matters and give every possible break to the manufacturer
‘and the worker. ‘But they will not tolerate profiteering by the
employers. They will not tolerate sabotage or other interference with industry acting in behalf of the employes. Mediation is peaceful settlement of differences. If it works satisfactorily no further steps will be required. If it fails to stem the
tide of strkies America will have to become hard-boiled for her
own protection. How far conscription of industry and of workers goes depends on employer and employe.
organization, our civilization has one chance of being preserved. It is not a military organization. It is not an organization of
conquest. It teaches young men the essentials of living that
they lost through conditions arising from too much city life.
Ed Williams, scout master, herewith tells one of the appealing human interest stories with which scouting abounds.
It has timely import, inasmuch as the Boy Scout drive for
funds is underway in this city. It shows the good accomplished by scout work and one of the reasons scouting deserves
your unstinted support.
About seven years ago a man looked out of his window
in the industrial section of New York. . What he saw in the
way of human misery, suffering, and pent up hunger on the
part of children who longed for a place to play, to live, and to
grow up in. caused him to make a decision that was to cost
hundreds of thousands of dollars and a great deal of personal
» attention over the years. :
This man chose to build a place for boys to play, to grow
up in. He hired the best physical educators money could buy,
even served a meal a day, provided entertainment, equipment,
summer camp, and in short everything that he thought a bov
need to. become a strong man,. mentally, morally and physically.
At the end of four years, however, he called upon the officers of the Boy Scouts of America. He told them he was
stumped; he needed help. He then went on to relate what
they had found in this great Boy’s Club; that while the boys
were inside of the building and under immediate supervision
that much good was done from the physical standpoint. How-],
ever, some of this made boys “‘bullies’’ and as soon as_ they : Soe ee
were on the streets again, many acts of anti-social nature were Orchids For The “‘Missus

of time as to what was needed to prevent this, the man was
amazed to earn that the boys themselves thought that the
Scouting Program was the best thing—not all of them wanted
to be scouts by any means; not all boys like supervision: a

Dowling, William Saroyan’s famous
Broadway prizewinner, The Time Of
Your Life, will be seen in Sacramento High School auditorium at a matinee and evening performance April,
9th. The play, laid on San Francisco’s
Embarcadero, is produced by the
Theatre Guild, and has won both the
Pulitzer Prize, and the New York
Drama Critics’ Circle prize when it
oened on Broadway last season.
Saroyan, whose home is in San
Francisco, wrote of persons and
places with which he is intimately
familiar. The people are the habitues
of, and visitors to, that part of the
California city once famous as the
Barbary Coast, They float in and out
of \Nick’s waterfront saloon and, observing them night after night, is a
tuxedo clad man, known simply as
Joe, who is possessed of an abundance of money, a weakness for liquor
and a philosophical outlook on life.
Mr, Dowling, as Joe, looks compassionately on their foibles and
failings as unfolded before him in 23

code of ethics and the things that scouts stand for.
The man was now inquiring as to how he could have
Scouting and how much it would cost. He was so advised and
found it easy to obtain and without an appreciable expense.
Since two years ago this club has had the Boy Scouts
Program. During that time much has been accomplished in the
‘Program that a boy takes home with him.’ The man was satisfied. His plan:was working—boys were becoming strong
men, physicaly, mentally and morally.
In 1940 Irving Berlin released the song ‘God Bless America.’ He stated that he did not want dollars for this publication and chose instead to have the royalties go to the further
development of the fundamental principles of American way
of living.
Berlin chose three men as trustees of this fund and asked them to select the medium. These men acted. They chose
Scouting and the program. The Boy Scouts of America were
so advised. A plan was worked out to help boys of less chance
area become scouts and to date much has been accomplished.
The man who built the Boy’s Club and used Scouting
was also a trustee of this Berlin Fund—his name—Gene Tunney, former heavyweight boxing champion of the world, now
volunteer physical education instructor at Pensecola Flying
Station for the United States Air Force.

headed by Dr. Clarence A. Dykstra to act as mediator in labor
disputes which interrupt production for national defense.
The board will step into controversies when the regular

at that one, however, need do so no longer. Not only is it true,
according to lengevity tables, that married'‘men do live longer,
but a recent insurance report credits the phenomenon, in large
part, to the fact that wives take such good care of the health of
their husbands. Bachelors on the other hand, with no one to
nag at them good-humoredly, about wearing their rubbers, eating their vegetables, or stopping just one drink short of too
many, die years before their time. This, gentlemen, seems to
be a case that calls for orchids!—Contributed.
A philosopher says there's nothing like adversity to make
a man think. Perhaps so. When Rodin’s ‘“‘Thinker’’ went into
such a heavy conference with himself he had run out of clothes and had nothing to sit on but a stump.
By the time a person thinks he’s about to make ends
meet, something busts loose in the middle.
