Scouts of America worked, including
the fact that there was no time for
adequate preparation, and the up-
fortunate delay in the delivery of
the June issue of Scouting, and the
delay in the receipt of the mate
rial from the Government Printing
Office. this is a record in which all
of us can we'll be proud. In pre-
pairing for the second loan, how
ever. there will be no excuse for an;
of these handicaps. 1t is now the
privilege of every troop of scouts 10
command the time and cooperation
of the very best banking talent IN
their community for the purpose Of
giving detailed instructions to the
boys in practical talks on salesman

1t is urgently recommended that
every troop plan two or more spe-
cial meetings devoted largely to the
consideration of ways and means of
making their work count for thc
greatest possible service to our
country in connection with Liberty
Loan Number Two.
Now is the time to prepare. Let

IS local council a very definite reg
ulation be prescribed covering this
subject and that in all places where
there are no local councils the scout
masters should definitely instruct
their boys as to the proper uniform
and how to wear it, according to the
official handbook.
AS a further aid in raising the
standards of the Boy Scouts ofAmer-
ica and Improving the appearance of
scouts wearing the uniform, it is
recommended that a system of fire.
quent inspection of every troop DC
developed and that no boy be per-
mitted TO successfully pass an ex-
animation unless his uniform IS
properly put on and thoroughly
clean. Soap and water will not in
jure the Boy Scout uniform if used
in accordance with the directions
in our various publications.. The
practice of allowing boys to appear
at a troop meeting or on the public
thoroughfare or even in camp In a
uniform which shows evidence of
uncleanliness is not conducive to the
best training of the boy or helpful
to the reputation of the Boy Scouts
of America and is a direct violation
of the Scout Law with reference 70
cleanliness.
