American people must become bond

We are making plans for civilian

for Victory clubs are being organ

Don't let anyone tell you that pre-

forces had been prepared the story
would have been different already
We are sure of ultimate victory, of
course. Scouts learn to be prepared
for emergencies, although the need to
use the preparation may never come.
A number are attending the first aid
course to prepare themselves. The
knowledge will be useful, even if
never called upon to exercise it.
Knowing what to do in case of an
air raid is not going to hurt anyone.

DAYLIGHT Saving

Why do the American people need
a law to break a habit? Daylight
saving time causes a lot of confusion,
is mwanted by the farm people, and
a needless effort. Why doesn't indus
try decree that instead of people
working from to 5, that they work
from 7 to 4; or whatever the usual
hours are, making the starting time
one hour earlier.
That would not make any change
for those farm people who work from
daylight to dark anyway, and would
serve the same purpose of giving in
dustrial and business workers an hour
more of daylight work.
