Boy Scouts are active citizens.
They are constantly prepared" for
any kind OF community call for ac-
ton. They stand ready to help in
time of emergency such as during
town disaster and the Salem fire.
They participate In City Clean Up,
City Beautiful and Walk-Rite cam
| paigns. They aid the police in traf-
nc direction, cooperate with Fish and
Game Commissions in protecting
wild life and with Forestry and
Park Commissions in planting and
protecting trees. They fight fires,
I gypsy moths and germs. They build
bird houses. maintain public drink
ing fountains and swimming pools,
take charge of community flags. and
care for public squares. Indeed
there is scarcely any end to
the services for community
betterment and welfare that
Scouts can and do perform all
over the country. In sc serving they
become initiated into civic RESPONSE
bilities and are made to feel them
selves a vital element in the great
stream of American life.
Scouting and the Scout law are
producing a splendid brand of young
America and it is safe to assume that
when these lads step yer the border

One of the most patent factors
contributing today to a virile. loyal
md responsible citizenship is the
Boy Scouts of America. which with
is membership of over $50. 000 men
and boys, is engaged in active SER
vice in the cause of better America,
pledged to the following striking
oath.
On my honor / will do my best
To do my duty to God and my
country, and to obey the scout law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally
straight.
Among the boys of foreign born
narsntage Scouting is a veritable
rnelting pot. In New York's crowd
ID East side district. for instance,
since 1912, when the first scout troop
was started, over $4,000 boys have
passed through the "Americaniza-

Americans OF vigor and vision.
Among the rs troops row operating
In this district are over 500 boys and
syery Scoutmaster and assistant in
charge is an ~ex-scout. These troops
aid specially noteworthy service dur
ing the war selling bonds, distribu-
ing patriotic literature, furnishing
music and giving demonstrations at
recruiting stations, etc. 1t is said in
iced that these Boy Scouts were the
greatest single agency for interpre-
ling the war to our alien population.
In their hikes and camping expedi-
tons outside Manhattan these boys
are learning that there is more to
america than crowded streets and
tenements and are taking home
valuable lessons in health and hy-
giene and good citizenship which
spread among the grown ups to
GOOD effect.
In his recent speech at the Ma

100000 Boy Scouts we would no

1t is not only among aliens that
characterization forces are needed in
these days of general unrest and up

CARTERET REPUBLICANS

CARTERET, Dec. 27.-The regu-
lar meeting of the borough council
slated for last night was again ad-
journed until next Thursday night,
owing to the fact that the three Re-
publican members were not present.
The failure of the Republican
members to present themselves at
the meetings has been the reason
for the adjjournments ever since
election.
1t was rumored, however, about
the borough that the reason for the
Republican members failing to be
present was that they feared the ap-
pointment of two new motorcycle
policemen by the Democrats. This
is not so, according to the Demo-
Gratis themselves as they say that the
appointment could be made without

bers of the council.
