Editor the Missourian: Here is a
real job for somebody. A man is
wanted to help make twenty Columbia
small boys happy.
Last winter the boys between the
ages of 10 and ~ organized into a
band called the Pioneers" This or
ganiZatiOn was formed to give the
younger boys the same opportunities
as the Boy Scout movement. since on
ly boys II years and older can be
Scouts The Pioneers were first or
ganized by Daniel Beard in the East
even before Scouting began. and there
are many pioneers in Missouri. But
the movement has been let run down
here in Columbia until now the boys
have no one to make hikes with them
or get them out in the open where a
boy can really enjoy things.
This summer Mervin Black. has of
his own accord taken these Pioneers
and given them his time just the same
as the Scouts: they have hiked it.
camped out and gone swimming just
as the Scouts do. But now when Mr..
Black laves, the movement will surely
die out unless some good fellow"
come along and takes the boys in
charge.
In many cities a business man often
takes the opportunity of going out
with the boys just for the fun in it;
it not only gives him pleasure but
gives him a chance to do good work
among the boys. and 1t keeps him
young"
The man who undertakes the work
need not know lot about it at first:
that will come later But the bows
need a leader. and they want one bad

Editor the Missourian: Columbia

\ postcard day is a day when every
body in town mails at least one pic
teure postal of Columbia to someone
else, thus giving the town valuable
advertising.
II has come TO a place where cities
compete wit hone another for new res
idents and for the location of new
business in the same way that two
contracting firms bid for a job.
If the city of today is to grow. it
must advertise inself and keep con-
stantly on the alert for new bust
ness" The scheme of postcard ad-
vertising is efficient and practical. II

that it will scarcely be felt. Of course
citizen is not confined to mailing
only ono card. but may mail dozen
