PARENTS AID BOY SCOUTS

One Of the greatest tributes to the boy scout program of character build ing and citizenship training is the in- creasing interest of mothers and fathers in the work of their scout sons. Scouting is creating a bond of com radeShip between thousands of sons and fathers who fin increasing num- bers are spending week-ends together at scout camps, relaxing in the out of doors, skating, skiing, hiking and sled ding together. Father and son hikes, banQuets and get-togethers are held in practically every community. Con- tests between lads and dads create to get out with son in the open more and more
 One big-hearted father who, as an incentive to his own boy, joined the ranks of the tenderfoot scouts recent ly with his son reached the very top of the ladder together-Eagle rank.
 And motherl You may be sure she Is very proud of sons manliness. his scout bearing, his practice of the scouts daily good turn, of being ready at all times to help others. his cour- tesy to the old, the weak. the sick, his deference to those older than himself, his growing strength from his outdoors life. These things with their ultimate bearing on character building, mothers are keen to appreciate. To further the work, scouts mothers clubs, com mittees, and associations are being constantly formed. Mother and son hikes and even mothers week at camp are evidence that the scout son knows ''the best pal of all" Is right behind him in his advance In scourcraft.
 Scouting does not supplant the home training. It supplements it and for tifies It. Scouting's best supporters are the mothers and fathers who from daily observation see with gratifica- ton sons who are living every inch as scouts.

Good Old Minnesota.

Iowa is south of Minnesota. When
we went to school we were taught
that as you went north, away from
the equator, it became colder and
snow and billiards met YOU during
the short days of the year. We be-
lieved and have for many years, but
this winter discredits these teachings.
While Iowa was shoveling snow and
facing blizzards we here IN Minnesota
have been riding around in cars on
pretty fair roads and very little cold
weather. In fact the only severe days
we have had this winter were shortly
after the first of the year and they
did not total IL days. We read of
foots of snow in Iowa and complete
bIockading of traffic. ON railroad and
bus lines. And yet you have heard
all Iowans say, Il like Minnesota all
right but the winters are too darned
severe. Verndale Sun.
