What Are You Doing For
The Boys?

The citizens Of Opelousas have
certainly been working together
and as a result you have a more
attractive city. You have right
to be proud Of the things you
have accomplished and now that
you are getting the streets in a
first class condition this will be a
great asset to Opelousas.
Now that you are improving
your city have you ever consid-
cred the question of improving
her citizenship? To be sure
Opelousas has been blessed and
today you have occasion to re-
joice. But what is Opelousas
doing for her boys? Why
not strengthen Opelousas by
showing an interest in your
greatest investment, her citizen
ship? What are you doing for
the boys?
Between the ages of twelve to
eighteen boys must have some
thing to do and the people OF
Opelousas should seek to have
something definite to do that will
strengthen them and make good
citizens for Opelousas, the state
and betterment of the world.
Boys at this age form habits that
usually make for good or evil.
Will your citizenship be strength
ened if you let these boys go un-
protected and uncared for? How

Southwestern Reflections
Contributed by Development Bureaul

All over the district the spirit
of farm diversification is rife.
This explains the interest the
people are manifesting in our
Potato Day. meetings.
One of the gratifying evidences
of the changes sentiment Of the
people is the change in the atti-
tude of the bankers and business
men towards farm Investigation.
Five years ago, the one-crop sys-
tenn was the key that unlocked
bank vaults and opened credit
accounts.
Bankers and merchants forced
the one-crop system on the
farmers. They paid dearly for
it when the crop failed; for with
cane, cotton, or rice the lean
years. are more than the fat
years.
But all that has changed. One
of the Invest bankers in South
west Louisiana told me three
weeks ago. "Our bank is
anxious to help the farmers, but
we will not advance one dollar to
finance the farmer who doesn't
diversity"
Another up-to-date banker told
me, Il am glad to help along
your Potato Day" campaign ]
wrote 124 letters to our farmer
clients urging them to attend
your meeting. We are going to
help them take up the work
Bankers and merchants forced
the one-crop system; now, re-
peating of their mistake, they
are helping the farmers to di-
yersify.
Are you pulling your part OF
the load? Pumpkin yarns for
the early market, constitute one
step in the direction of diversifi-
cation and prosperity; lespedeza
is another step.
"A gentleman living in another
state, the representative of one
of the greatest trade journals in
the United States wrote a few
days ago, Il want to attend one
of your Potato Day. meetings.
1t is an innovation which ought
to be encouraged"
And after all, the way to di-
versification is to diversity. Be
gin with sweet potatoes, lespe-
deza, and corn.

do you value these boys? Why
not make another investment
for the welfare of Opelousas!
In other words why not give the
boys something to do? Get a
clean, wide awake man to lead
these boys. Organize them into
the Boy Scouts of America.
Otherwise awake cities are DO
ing this. Yes they are realizing
Just how much a boy is worth
and they are not going to let
their citizenship be DESTROYED
but they are strengthening it by
developing the boys into clean
useful men. What is the matter
with Opelousas? Why not get
together and appoint a council
and organize the Boy, Scouts OF
America.
This organization is non-sec-
tartan and i~nterferres with no
ones religious beliefs. But
teaches a boy to be clean and
strong. The Scout is taught the
value of having a strong body
and .he Immediately recognizes
that in order to be proficient in
Scoutcraft he must not use to-
bacco and as a result any habit
of this nature discouraged.
The twelve points of the Scout
law will give you an idea as to
how your citizenship can be
strengthened:
1. A scout is trustworthy,
should he violate this law ne
would be directed to hand in his
badge.
2. A scout is loyal to his
home, the organization and to
his country.
8. A Scout is helpful, a good
Scout must do something good
for somebody every day. Have
you ever tried to do this?
A. Friendly. a crouch is not at
home with the Scouts.
S. Courteous, polite to every.
body and he is forbidden to re-
ceive tips for doing a kind act.
6. A Scout is kind to animals
and he is taught to protect al
harmless animals.
Z. He is taught to obey his
parents, Scout Master and others
in authority.
8. They are taught to face du'
ty and never to shirk hardships'
9. He is thrifty, being taught
to make the best use of his op'
portunity and is encouraged K
earn his own money to buy hi
uniform.
10. Brave, jears and threats
Of enemies he is not afraid t.
face.
II. He is clean in thought,
speech and sports.
IL. Reverend toward God, faith
full in his religious duties and he il
taught to respect the conviction:
of others in matters Of religion
Do you not think an organiza,
ton like this would strengthen
Opelousas? Nc social distinctions
are made in this organization
and for this reason the Scout!

taught to be neat, and the poor
