meetings during the summer.
Thousands of Scouts were in
camps and others were on vaca-
ton trips with parents. Many
adult leaders were busy In de-
tense jobs or were away with
their families.
AIDING DEFENSE GROUPS
Despite all the handicaps, be-
cause of sound organization and
previous experiences In nation
wide projects gratifying reports
came from every section Of the
country. The instructions moved
from the National Office with
despatch, were complete In every
detail. Many Scout Executives
reported that the information re-
leased by the Boy Scouts Of
America was the first received
in their cities and that local de-
tense groups got into action upon
receipt of the Boy Scout materi-
al. In many cases adult Scout
leaders were placed in key posi-
tionS.
And when the campaign was
concluded, Mr.. La Guardia prais-
ed the part. the Scouts played
in it in this fashion:
II want you to know how
much / appreciate the fine serv-

peratio n of the Executives
Scout Leaders and Troops In col
lecting aluminium for defense
purposes have been major con-
tribution to the success Of the
campaign. Their generous sup
port of this program Is another
evidence Of the fine principles
and high standards which iden-
tify the Boy Scouts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 66(R
-Congressmen already are dis
putting among themselves over
whether they want the two
week-old law providing pensions
for retired senators and repre-
sentatives.
Several members Of the SEN
ate say the law is q blunder and
ought to be repealed. In the
House there was both support
and criticism of the measure
which has become the butt Of
bundles for Congress ridicule.
Chairman Ramspeck (D-Ga)
Of the House Civil Service Com
mittee said he wrote the provi-
sion into the Civil Service bill
which the President signed Jan.
20 at the request of numerous
members" and had no apologies
to make.
The law opens federal retire
ment benefits to members Of
Congress. Ramspeck d e clared
there was no reason legislators
should not be allowed pensions
the same as other government
employees. ~
Senator Capper (R-Kan), who
n rs years old and has been Z
congressman for 26 years, said
he would never ask nor accept
q government pension. Capper
would be among those eligible to
retire next January /, un der

The memory Of the service was

Waste Paper Collection
Hishliehts Early Scout Activities

such as the Boy Scouts which
fosters the principles Of demo-
cracy in the fearts of our youth,
an (Which Il always prepared to
help in the defense Of our coun-
try"
In some places newspapers
frankly stated that bu. for the
S c gu IS the collection would
have been q flop" DR.. West
received reports indicating that
Scouts did q very creditable job
in a very splendid manner, and
in many communities all on
their own because no other
agency took the initiative.
In announcing the call for
Scout participation, DR.. West
cautioned:
"In no case should this be
merely q Boy Scout campaign.
I am sure that do not need to
emphasize reducing to q mini
mum a competitive attitude, but
making paramount the success
Of the enterprise on the part Of
the community as q whole, even
though the net results attribut-
able to Scouts may be affected.
Our primary object is service to
the Government and the accom-
plishment, In the quickest and
most effective way possible, Of
the task assigned to US on q CO.
operative basis.
HAS HUMOROUS SIDE
The intensity of the campaign
would suggest q serious under
taking and the Scouts were in
dead earnest about getting in as
much as they could in the allot-
ted time. But many humorous
situations arose which gave 4
light touch to this project.
In one town boys calling for
old pots and pans had pan Of
water poured over them from an
upper window. Did this discour-
age them? Not at all. Onward
trudged the wet Scouts to the
next call where the man Of the
house asked them to wait until
he finished his coffee. This done,
he handed his aluminium perco-
lator, grounds and ell, to the de-
lighted boys.
The hottest two days Of the
summer indirectly slowed up the
aluminium collection in Detroit
and ! guess the Boy Scouts did
their job more slowly. People
kept insisting on treating the
boys to cold lemonade and ice
cream. Some of the Scouts are
said to have collected almost
equal quantities of aluminium
and refreshments. Despite this
the Boy Scouts collected 20 tons
Of the sorely-needed metal in
this city.
DO OUTSTANDING WORK
From every side came stories
Of the outstanding work the Boy
Scouts did in collecting alumni
mum. They definitely established
themselves in the eyes Of the
Government and the people a
dependable In an emergency.
This dependability brought TO
the Boy Scouts their latest i'm.
portant Job for defense. "A short
age In waste materials going into
the manufacture Of paper boxes
and containers used in defense
caused Mr.. Leon Henderson, Ad-
ministrator Of APAC to immedi-
ately appeal for aid to the Boy
Scouts Of America. The Boy
Scouts have accepted the as
signment and throughout the ma
ton they redoUbled their ef.
