New Training Emphasis
While Scout training has always
been aimed at preparing Scouts to
be participating citizens equipped
for effective service to their home
community and the nation. what
ever the occasion may be, new
emphasis is being placed on the
Emergency Service Corps These
are primarily groups of Senior
Scouts in every part OF the ma
ton, trained and equipped for
emergency service calls. They
will in turn assist in training their
younger brother Scouts in the
emergency service program so that
ultimately every Scout will be pre-
pared
In the 80 years the movement
has -flearished- iR-Ameriea,~ Scouts
have rendered effective aid in
earthquakes. tornadoes. floods and
other catastrophies. Scout training
has enabled boys to display re-
sourcefulness and leadership.
The program of action" calls
for an intensive application OF the
normal training a boy receives as
Scout, with emphasis on certain
skills in the vigorous out-of-door
programs OF camping and hiking
Camping is considered most
effective method of overcoming
"softness', and developing those
physical qualities essential for a
happy, effective and efficient life.

The program. according to
Ernest Chapelle, the president OF

ganized. enabling more boys to be-

the number of those trained for

from father, mother, each child and
in-laws
In short, a lot of ordinarily law
abiding folks we're encouraged to
finagle around to evade the act.
1t is safe to say that unless the
law is repealed or amended, the
political folk will have devised still
more detours around it before the
next campaign.
incidentally, we may note the
flop of the straw polls. They cut
a figure in the story. Whenever
they showed a favorable trend for
one party. that party cited them as
evidence that its candidate was in
the ascendent. Whenever they
showed contrary trend, they were
dismissed as inaccurate and value
less. Let us see how good they
really are. The most popular one
hedged. 1t lodged making any real
prophecy on the ground that the
election was too close to venture
a definite prediction, with the usual
trimmings of probable error and
other pseudo scientific fire escapes.
The election was next to the big
gest landslide in modern history.
The Dunn poll and the Hurja poll
had Mr.. Willkie elected until the
vote was counted.
We felt outraged at the off-side
snowstorm of SANDER and false
hood and wrinkled our brows as we
speculated how to meet this anony-
nous blizzard-all of which seem-
so trivial after the election. l am
wondering now If all our anxiety
about the millions of dollars the
other fellows were spending, and
the f1are-ups in the West, the de-
fections in the East and the doubts
about Illinois, and more than all the
question of how strong the political
enemy was in upstate New York,
was not wasted woe.
In short, would not destiny have
worked to the same result without
all the sound and fury on our side
and on the other side?
Willkie Nomination Called Blunder.
This story has nothing to do with
the campaign issues that were de-
cided in the November 5 election.
1t is merely a critique by a publicity
engineer of the technique and STRAIT
egy of those who conducted the
battle for Mr.. Willkie.
In the first place, in my opinion,
his selection as a candidate was a
colossal political blunder. He may
be all that those who know him tell
me: A fine, outstanding, dynamic,
resolute, patriotic, two-f1sted chap.
But the president of a utility hold
ing company was bound to start
with handicap. in a Nation still
smarting from the blow at public
confidence from the insult collapse.
and rather in revolt against the
whole merger system.
I do not know that anybody could
have beaten such a popular idol
as Franklin D. Roosevelt, but 1 have
in mind the type that would have
had a much better chance than Mr..
Willkie He should have been a
bland person. with some wealth,
inherited possibly, and a record of
public service-Governor of State,
perhaps. or a judge. or even the
head of a conspicuous philanthropic
organization, with a war record to
