Long Distance Traffic Grows

III traffic OF this year will be the
heaviest in history. That statement
car confidently be made as the traffic
each year has broken all previous
records. The increased traffic is
bringing about, naturally
enough, better accommodation for the
tourists, more and more adequate

and campsites. Roadside filling sta

PROTECTING HOLLYWOOD

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce IS plan

them escape parents and civic authorities in their
communities and arrive in Hollywood without money
Of any sort and sadly true, without the
gift for the they have imagined themselves pos
film city.
The plan of the Hollywood chamber is to establish
branches in several cities east of the Mississippi river
The first is to be opened in Cleveland In these
branches they will try to get in touch with the ambi
tous bat misguided boys and girls who are about to
dash for the western studios They will do their best
to change the minds Of these youngsters, and send
them back to their homes and the jobs they fit
ted for.
Perhaps local chambers of commerce are not
interested keeping their wayward youth at home
as Hollywood is in keeping it out. Nevertheless there
is here for much cooperation and good, sound
prevention work.

All of which is it should be. Few of US stop to
realize what potent factor music plays in our life
unless the subject is brought home forciby to An
entire week devoted to music, out of the 52 weeks Of
the year, little enough when stops to consider
the worth while returns.
Never before in the history of the world has good
music been made available for the By

broadcast to millions of eager listeners all this

other noted stars simply by hearing their sweet voices

Without music in our lives our pilgrimage on this
old planet would be very dull affair indeed and the
happiest homes will be found to be the ones where
music prevails.
So let US all join in the spirit of National Music
Week and pay due homage to the Goddess of Harmony
with the aim Of bringing and more music into

NOTES OF BOY
SCOUT DOINCS


Members of troop of the Boy
Scouts camped last Friday night at
"Camp Win-a-ha-ha, on New Riv-
en- The following account of their
trip was written by their troop re-
porter:
THE boys of Troop 7 went to
New River for an overnight camp
ing trip. We moved our camp away
from the little creek where we
quitoes, which were getting little
bit too familiar.
We held our regular business meet
ing as usual. While it was in pro-
gress, two boys who had hiked out
joined camp. We sang Il few songs
and hit the hay.
Next morning we ate breakfast
and then each patrol built Il shack
to keep our duffel in. We cleaned
camp and then hiked around to the
other camps to see how they were
getting along. AS soon as we fin
ished that. we hiked down to New
River and went swimming. About
ten bows from our troop and other
troops went about n mile upstream
and swan back. BY the time we
reached the starting point, it was
time to get out. So we got dressed
and cut some trees and carried them
to camp to use in building our
Shacks.
After that we packed up and
came home. Some of the boys were
pretty tired and went to bed as
soon as they got home. Though tir-
cd, they pronounced the trip sue
cess, and hope to have many more. y

OF steering the ship of state through the most turbulent
waters-never flinching, and always with the single
purpose of doing the thing that will benefit the great
