VICTIMS PERSONALITY

Then, while considering big
things, consider the character of
the man murdered. Sir Harry
evidently had a personality so
strong that it is only fitting that
his end should be enshrouded in
one of the greatest Of modern
mystery cases.
/ understand from close per-
sonal friends, that Sir Harry de-
lighted in climbing aboard huge
tractor or bulldozer. setting a
compass course straight across his
vast holdings, and smashing his
way through dense jungle-like
tropical growth.
Sir Harry was, in every way
big man who had big dreams. big
holdings and great wealth. II is
impossible TO convey adequately
the impression Of how Nassau
mourns the passing of this out
standing personality.

Washington, D. c., as major accomplishment OF

congressman to land such an important committee
BERTH 1t is committee that has strong bearing on

$50 OF Selectees Former Boy Scouts

In 1913, the Boy Scout movement in America was
only eight years old. Today-and this is Boy Scout
Week-it is 33
The important difference to the Nation at War
is apparent when one realizes that in Uncle Sam $
great Army 25 per cent of the selectees are former
Boy Scouts.
The percentage is still higher in the enlisted
brackets-and more than two-thirds Of the profes-
sional military leaders who attended West Point or
Annapolis We're Scouts in their boyhood years.
The Boy Scouts of America is not military or
ganization The ideals for which it stands are the
antithesis Of mtarisn But Scout training produces
men-men of character and decency, men who cooper
ate for the common good, men who have known Free
dom in the fields and on the waters Discipline and
devotion are not to them and initiative is at the
core Of their being.
Colin Kelly was a Scout So were John James
Powers, John Bulkeley and "Butch" O. Hare. Scout
ng's roll Of honor lists countless more "Be Prepar-
ed!' was their motto, when they were Scouts. We
honor them, and their example, when we share with
todays Boy Scouts another birthday of their organi-
zation May it live long and wax nightly, for the
good of us all!

Suppose YOU got only

in a coal mine

REFORE you judge the right and ,vrong Of
~ this coal mining 1pqge controversy 1ve ask
you to go through one day in the life of
coal miner 11tb us: Here it is:
Do you know that coal miners who are paid
for "seven hour day" actually spend an
average of at least eight and half hours
below ground?
Do you know that for the most arduous,
often the most dangerous, part of their days
work, coal miners do not get one red cent?
Only in the coal Industry!
In no other industry in the world does a
man report for work, stand in line to get
his tools and equipment, check in, take his
turn on the cage to 60 down into the deep
recesses of the mine, then walk long dis
tances to his working place before his pay
starts. It's the same thing coming out. The
minute the man leaves the "Jace" where he
actually digs his pay stops and he risks the dam
gers of underground travel on his own time
With these facts in mind, it should not be
difficult for you to jud &c wbo is right and 1ubo
is 1Vrmg in the coal mining wage controversy.

LaFournaise, who was home this

had resulted in an order from
Washington for him to secure a
patent on it.
LaFournaise made sketches of his
idea during his spare time in army
service. He submitted it to a ma

all such ideas.
Within a short time, he said, he
received a letter from the council
urging him to go ahead with his
suggestion and secure a patent on it.
While here, he has been visiting
his brother Alex and his niece,
Audrey.
