Roosevelt Lauds Scouts
In Anniversary Message

The Boy Scouts Of America have
justified the confidence placed in
them and much more will be asked
as we 60 forward with our program
to preserve our liberty" President
Roosevelt said by proxy last night
as the 32d anniversary of the found
ing of the Scouts in the United
States was observed.
Mr.. Roosevelt's message was read
by Vice President Wallace in a
broadcast over Station WRC and an
N. B. C. network. DR.. James E.
West, chief Scout executive, and
Walter w. Head, president of the
National Council of the Scout or
ganization, also took part.
Il have full confidence that the
Bow Scouts will effectively meet
every request made of them," said
the President. Each and every
Scout has reason to feel proud Of
the part he has as member OF
Uncle Sans team to help us win the
war.
AS one who has been interested
in scouting over many years. it has
been most heartening to have so
many evidences of the practical
values of Scout training as we or
ganize our armed forces for the task
ahead of us. We must remember
that next to active military service
itself, there is no higher opportunity
for serving our country than helping
youth to carry on in their efforts to
make themselves physically strong,
mentally awake and morally
straight, and prepare to help their
country to the full in time of war, as
we'll as in time of peace -
