Dr. Lorne w. Barclay, national di- rector of Boy Scout activities said that the scout movement is great be- cause it is a movement of the peo- pie, and that unless leaders are trained from boyhood, leadership will arise in an oppisite direction from the ideal of democracy. MT. Barclay spoke at the annual dinner meeting of Mattatuck council, Bay Scouts of American, attended by 150 persons at The Elton last night.
 Fundamental Ideal
 Scouting develops the fundamen- tai idea of unselfishness so necessary to world civilization" Dr. Barclay said. He placed particular emphasis on the responsibility of scout lead- CTS in training the boys who are to lead this country oul of its semi chaotic condition.
 Three boys, Arthur Charboneau and Joseph Ippolito of Troop 13, and Albert Sherwood, of Woodbury, were presented Eagle badges, and Eagle palms were awarded to Walter Angle, Jr., and Arol Charboneau. Walter Green of the scout advance ment committee and Scout Commis- sioner Martin L. Martus made the awards.
