These charities are countless
and their Woodworking,
seldom publicized champions de-
serve reward that mortal
hands cannot bestow.
This is about a man we know
and most of you know
who dedicated his adult life to
public service not on any
flag -draped platform, or in a
press statement (because press
statements were things he didn't
care for) but in his heart.
Particularly did he pledge
himself to the cause of boys,
mainly Boy Scouts. His
wide and varying interests, in
which he spent much of his per-
sonal time and money
ranged all the way from war
board and war relief services
during World War / 10
work for the Salvation Army,
Crippled Children, Boy Scouts
and other groups currently &C
tive. In his capacity as an
willing worker, he attend
ed thousands of meetings, ate as
many dinners good and bad, lis
tened to ten thousand speeches
yet seldom, If ever, spoke
himself and usually got
home late to bed several nights
a week. =.
He served his fellow men
and did il because he en-
joyed helping.

riod of Ill health and has
had TO retire from the scores of
posts he held. He's patient
in ST. Joseph Hospital, building
up his strength for the day when
he'll return 10 his home and re-
ceive our visits.
In the meantime let's
assure him we haven't forgotten
what he meant TO all of us, our
institutions and our lives.
He did a lot. Every Boy
Scout, and every member of the
organizations he helped, should
remember him with cheerful
greeting card on Christmas Day.
Let's swamp him with
