TOUGHEN UP AND
BUCKLE DOWN!
By DR.. James E. West


Yes, is we appreciate the value
of democracy, if we appreciate
our privileges, if we appreciate
all OF the splendid progress of our
country, we have just got to put
everything we have, regardless
of sacrifice, into a cooperative ef-
fort to win the war. We in scout
ing have a very definite share in
this effort. .
Ambassador Grew who served
for many years in Japan tells US
that the Japanese people have
fdr some time sized up America
and particularly our youth. on
the basis of our activities as be.
ing. soft, acking in those funda-
menta essentials that are necessa-
ry for successful warfare. Reluc-
family | must admit there is some
basis for truth in their belief.
though do believe that since
Pearl Harbor we have been
awake. But thGre is need for us
to go further.
We need to tougher up" and
buckle down.. You have prob
ably read of the marvellous record
that our Scouts now in the Ar
med Forces have made. These
ycurS men are outstanding bv
reason of their skills. their abili-
ties. and leadership qualifications
and their attitude of mind. In
the honor roll of those who have
received Distinguished Service
Awards from the United States
Government, there is a high per-
centage of former scouts.
The scout program was origin
ally developed to tougher ur
those who were needed bv theiN.
country. Most of you know that
the task that Baden-Powell. the
founder OF scouting. had before
him when he was in charge of
large army of unframed men in
South Africa. was to help re-.
cruits acquire the fundamental
qualities of solder or a man.
resoutrcefulness. self-reliance.
initiative. He devised series OF
what he called stunts in scout
ing. Ultimately, out of these acti-
vities he developed the Scout
program for boys.
Why shouldn't we give scouts
an opportunity to develop them
selves physically, to climb, to get
through difficult places. On your
scout hikes, don't travel on roads.
Go through the woods, cross the
streams. Do the things men are
now doing in Commando service.
Every boy and indeed every
girl should feel the Importance
of knowing how to take care of
himself or herself so that they
can be better insured against
disaster should an emergency re-
qulre skill in maneuvering, or in
avoiding danger, knowledge OF
proper living.
We have been leading a pretty
soft life for a good many years
past | say this not to censurc
the splendid youth of America.
What glorious accounting they
are giving of themselves in the
foN-holes of Bataan and across
the African sands!
No, i do not think we can call
these young men soft, but I do
believe that right now we here
in scouting, carrying on to the
best of our ability on the home
front, should tougher up and pEe-
pare ourselves to give them the
kind of support back home that
they deserve to have. In a few
years, some of the boys now serv-
ing in our scout troops may be in
the front line of battle. Now,
through the vigorous program of
scouting, is the time to prepare
OURSELVES for service, to our coun-
try. Tougher up and buckle

ture and Mr.. Aherne thought il
amusing that Mr. Roosevelt should
have seen the film while he, who
had PLAYED in it. still was trying
to catch up with the finished
product.
The English accents, slightly
hlunted--or whatever happens to
them in contact with the semi
realities Of Hollywood-were going
at a great rate, and informally all
around the room in which RKO was
playing host at luncheon.
That of Sir Cedric. for instance,
was devoted not only to the Jays,
and difficulties, of making For
ever and Day" but branched out
to deal with The Moon Is Down. -
Still wearing the mustache of the
Nazi Colonel he played in that pic
ture, he thought it fitting and a
bit funny that the movie will prove
the theater critics right. The thea
ter critics, you may not remember
were bit captious about the drama.
They had inherited it from the book
critics who had said rather haught-
lily that it would make good play.
So, in their turn, they said it did
not make a good play but undoubt-
edly would make a good movie.
Il think it has" said Sir Cedric,
an actor who grievously violates that
rule which says actors shall be
careful about giving credit to writer's.
Il think" he went on, that
world of credit belongs to Nunnally
johnson, who adapted the script.
He has given beautiful point to
Steinbecks thesis which was that
while the Nazis walked into Norway
full of confidence. they became the
prey OF fear when the Norwegians
refused to be conquered. The ex-
change of emotions, from arrogance
to desperation on the part of the
Germans. and from desperation to
confidence on the part of the Nor
wegians. is much better brought out
In the movie than in the stage YER
sion"
Mr.. Ahernes accent was being de-
voted to a discussion of the mistakes
in Judgment an actor makes-the
actor q fellow named Aherne.
Specifically he recalled picture
named Captain Blood" The prin-
Clpal role was offered to him at a
time when he was feeling Aherne-

they cast the part with a young
actor named Enrol Flynn. It made
all the difference in the world in his
career"
Don't think there was any regret
IN MI. Aherne's voice. He has done
well enough, of course, that he has
no need to sigh at having passed
up the Captain Blood" role
Much more sighable, from his
standpoint. is the chance he once
had to participate in a radio pro-
gram, which still is netting his sub
Stitute around $4,000 weekly for
virtually no work-just his name on
the program.
Mr.. Aherne had the offer first.
1t was made over cocktails one after
noon, He remembers it was on
afternoon when he was thinking of
the delights of occasional travel and
how a radio program would restrict
a man terribly.
He said no a few days later. by
which time the rude people had
decided they wanted some one else
anyhow.
Miss Warwick's accent we didn't
hear very long. Just long enough
to hear her say in connection with
Orson Welles' Citizen Kane" in
which she played the wife that she
thought good controversial pic
ture was good thing once in
while.
Mr.. Young the master of several
dialects, forgot his English accent
long enough to tell Scotch ioke
that you never will see in a news
paper. Not this one at any rate
1t was very good joke, however.
And very pleasant party.

If Our Name Was Joe

If we, like Herr Joseph Goebbels, were saddled with the job of trying to main- tain some Semblance of morale in Ger many today, we should get down onto our knees at frequent intervals and thank God for John LleWellyn Lewis, boss of the Miners union. Nor should we stop there. The beetle-browed egomaniac would be both first and last in our pray CTS of gratitude, but we should not for get the hundreds of thousands of min CTS who have permitted Lewis to lead them into strike against the life of every man who wears the uniform of the United States, Britain, China, Russia or Free France - against the peace and security of the whole civilized world against the permanency of those demo- cratic institutions which alone have made American trades unionism possible. While we were on our knees, if we were Joe Goebbels, we should pray for the astif- rnatism of the more than 50,000 United Rubber Workers, who walked out in Ohio ct time when the arsenal of democracy faces a crisis in transporting war work srs to their jobs. And if we overlooked the 27,OOO United Automobile Workers who stopped working in Chrysler war rlants, without a doube Herr Hitler would remind us of that oversight.
 About the merits of the disputes which led to these strikes we express no opinion. For the moment tets waive that point, and concede that if this nation were not engaged in total war, with the fate of the enti-axis world depending upon our ln- dustrial output, strike might be war ranted in any or all of these cases. What is important now is that, regardless of the provocation, if any, men who leave such jobs are worth more to Hitler than an equivalent number of soldiers fighting for him on the front lines of the world AS Americans, we feel that President Roosevelt was undertaking when he said that "in the midst of a war calling for the supreme sacrifice of many in the ranks of our armed forces, it is shocking to the nation to discover that any group within our citZenry would impede, for single moment, the production of ma terials of war needed for our war effort"
 But if we were Germans, shocked by re- verses in Russia, by utter defeat in North Africa, by the demonstrated impotency of our Italian ally, by the obvious pesSl- rnism of our Balkan satellites, by terrific bombing of our industrial centerS - If we were Germans, anxiously wondering where fateful invasionS of the European continent would come, and how long we could resist them - If we were Germans, the news that Lewis miners are getting away with sabotagng American produc- tion at it's taproot, while rubber workers, automobile workers and others sap the life out of it's branches, would give us new life, new hope, new courage to resist to the bitter end, to kill and maim few more hundreds of thousands of allied fighting men.

Save Puerto Rico

There is a bill before Congress to grant independence to the island of Puerto Rico. Anything that suggests independence for any country today has an appeal, and therein lies one of the dangers of this proposal. The people of the United States are totally unfamiliar with Puerto Rico and what it means to this nation. They do not realize it is a territory of the United States and can be the 49th state. It is, therefore, of the utmost inn portance that the widest possible under Standing of this issue be gained imme- diately
 Puerto Rico is one of our most import ant island bases It guards the Panama Canal and provides point from which we could intercept an enemy attacking our eastern coast There are foreign powers that would like to see Pureto Rico given so-called independence on the chance they could gobble it up.
 Talk about freeing" our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico, 99 per cent of whom are citizens of the United States, and 50 per cent of whom are natural born citizens Of this country, is fantastic The repre- sentative of Puerto Rico in our Congress recommends statehood for the island. It would be costly folly to cast our island possessions adrift. They are fortified ring around our nation. They have real freedom and protection under our gov ernment.
 Instead of throwing Puerto Rico away under false banner of independence we would better give it statehood, as advo- cated in both the Republican and Demo- cratic national platforms of 1940, and add new star to our flag. The danger of allowing any island outpost of the American continent to fali into the hands of another power is illustrated by our loss of Kiska and Attu.

Cleanliness Is Next to Godliness

Next to the question of food one of the most vital things today is the ques- tion of laundry The American people have become so accustomed to all the food they want and unlimitable laundry services that the sight of clothes and linens piling up Is a major catastrophe. At home the average family has a wash ing machine and until quite recently had by-the-day laundress. Those that could not afford the once-a-week laundreSS managed to do for themselves, or send weekly or every-other weekly supply to convenient and speedy laundry.
 Now with laundrieS closing for lack of help the question of keeping ones belongings clean is a problem As whole we are clean people and nothing pleases the average American more than clean linen often, on himself or on his, bed. And the meticulouS houSekeeper likes to put away neat piles of laundry often.
 Many houSekeepers are now doing their own laundry work, who never did before. That is one solution - do your own washing. But in many cases it is physl- cal imposSibility to get it done with the many other pressing duties, such as go- ing to business and doing plenty of house. work besides. Deprived of laundry serV- ice we certainly are up against it. The manpOWer shortage is felt here as well as in many other businesses, and it takes longer to get the laundry back than it once did.
 Cleanliness it is said, is next to godli- ness. So let's hope the laundry situation does not become too acute, lest our morale be completely undermined.

THE MORE BETTER" BOYS
CNeW York Herald Tribune)

(NeW York Herald Tribune)
 As might have been expected, the appeal for a foster home for the four photogenic boys, Arthur George, Billy and Francis, has met a huge response. Those lads, sons of an i'll mother and soldier, tear fully recommended by a foster mother who must give them up romped their way via candid cam eras into literally thousands of hearts and opened the door to doz- ems of homes. It took several per- sons to answer local and long-diS- tance calls from people who wanted to take the boys in, Miss Sophie Van s. Theis, executive secretary Of the New York City committee on child welfare of the State Charities Aid society, reports. Miss Theis finds this most gratifying, but the success of. the four who felt that it was more better" that they stay together serves to remind her, a practical woman, of the 5000 or 4,0OO more children in this city who need foster homes.
 Now, whether those boys whose pictures have so delighted the pub- lie this week go to New Orleans or to some home in their own neigh borhood, there will be some disap- pointed would-be parents who want ed and could not have them. These could assuage their disappointment and do some other child or children a very great service by considering substitutes. Indeed, some prospec- tive parents who responded, perhaps rashly, to the quadruple charms of Arthur, George ct al, may congratu- late themselves later when they have chosen a modest one or two youngsters to rear. A note to Eos ter Homes for Children, 105 East Twenty second street. will bring to any one interested more informa- ton on the other thousands of homeless children.
