"A GOOD TURN DAILY. ;

One of the small bits Of routine
in daily life of an active and 10y
al boy scout is the doing of a
good turn" Anyone who is fa-
miliar with the habits of a genu-
inc boy scout will probably admit
that most of the lads do not stop
with single good turn, ont
cheerfully perform little services
and helpfumess or courtesy when.
ever the opportunity offers
Next February. the American
organization of boy scouts will
celebrate its tenth anniversary. In
honor of this occasion the 100000
lads identified with the movement
are asking all other Americans,
men. women and children, to
adopt for one week the scout s
practice, and to do at least one
good turn for somebody else

PARKS FOR CHICKAsHA.

The report that the attorney
general has approved the park
bonds is good news for Chickasha
While the legal proceedings have
taken more time then the average
layman would likely think nee
essary, the matter has really been
handled with more expedition
than is often the case. For in
stance, an Enid bond issue re-
Gently required seven months to
go through the mill. The fact
that the legal department Of the
state has put the seal of approval
upon the Chickasha proceedings
reflects credit upon Mayor Dur
bin and the other city officials
who were in charge of the matter
To steer clear of errors in the
midst Of the vast mass Of red
tape which the law requires was
feat well worthy of commenda-
ton.
With the approval Of the bond
issue, the next step in establish
ing a park and boulevard system
III Chickasha is up to the park
board. The members Of this
board have a very delicate and
difficult piece Of business on
their hands. First of all will
come the selection Of sites and in
solving this problem they might
as well make up their minds now
to be subjected to adverse criti-
cism whatever their decisions may
be. We believe, however, that
they will be actuated solely by
desire to serve the best interests
of the city as a whole and will act
accordingly despite any pressure
that may be brought to bear to
swerve from the path of duty.
Conscious that they have been
entrusted with a piece of work Of
the highest Importance and that
the results of their labors will
stand for generations as a monu-
ment to their wisdom or re-
minder Of their mistakes, we feel
sure that Messrs. Carmichael, |
Bingham and Cralle, who consti-
tute the board, will leave nothing
undone to make their work com
mand public approval and to give
Chickasha the best park and bou-
levard system that the money |
available will buy.
