Suddenly the Wolf locked toward

FOX: "Why, there S Uncle Wiggily

THE BOY SCOUTS

Today marks the start of the cam
paign in Ell Centre for funds to conduct
Boy Scout work here during the coming
year.
Business leaders of this community
are giving their time to solicit the neces-
sary funds and have met, in some in
stances, with an appalling lack of inter
est in the Boy Scout movement, despite
the fact that it is a recognized curb on
Juvenile delinquency.
Official reports show a total of 723
cases of juvenile delinquency handled by
the probation office of Imperial county
during the last fiscal year Of these $40
were court cases and 35 were handled by
the office without requiring action by the
court
We will always have juvenile cases
with which to contend, but there is no
need for community to have such
large number of them. The fault lies,
not with the youngsters, even with those
who are brought into court, but with
adults for taking absolutely no interest
in the youngsters and in failing to pro-
vide them with proper means for pass
ing their spare time.
A strong, flourishing Boy Scout organ
ization is one of the finest bulwarks to
guard young boys from getting into trOu-
BILE. 1t trains the boy to take care of
himself physically and mentally, instills
in him the fundamentals of a good citi-
zen and makes him an asset to COM
munity instead of liability
We owe it to our boys to give them the
advantages which the Boy Scouts can
offer them. If we cannot figure it in
this way we owe it to ourselves as tax

down the cost of juvenile delinquency
There is no argument AGAINST the
Boy Scout movement Those who refuse
to support it have no logical excuse to
offer and must be charged with down
right Indifference to the welfare of the
youngsters around them.

Game Warden Ends Plans For
Profitable Industry In Sussex Co.

Prospects of building up a profit
able industry through the market
ing of turtles and terrapin caught
in the marsh areas around Lewes
and Rehoboth, seemed bright to the
boys of CCC Company l24, located
at Lewes, Delaware, and working at
mosquito control ditching.
Since the announcement last week
that a number of turtles and ter
rapin were found in the marshes,
where drainage bitches are being
dug, the matter has excited con-
siderable interest among out-of-town
prospective buyers; inquiries have
been received from large hotel and
an exclusive club in Philadelphia
while a prominent club in Whining
ton promptly placed large weekly
order.
As the Delaware diamond back
terrapin and the turtle are consid-
cred table delicacies. good profit
was expected by the boys. for they
can easily catch them in great
abundance in the course Of their
witching activities.
But, unfortunately, every dream
must have its painful awakening,
and every bubble its pin prick; and,
