ganization OF their Scout program"
He reported that Scout Associa-
tions OF other lands are already
helping to rebuild Scouting. Cana
da, he said, has printed Scout Hand
books in foreign languages through
their "Chins Up Fund" and al
though many British Scouts lost
their own homes they raise a fund
to help brother Scouts in liberated
lands.
Parents whose son was a former
Boy Scout and who has given his
life in the war may wish to con.
tribute to the World Friendship
Fund in his name SO that the Move
ment he enjoyed may continue to
flourish and help promote peace
throughout the world.
Scout Troops and Cub Packs may
contribute from their units treas
ury or money earned. such as
through the collection and sale of
waste paper, still sorely needed In
the war effort. Some units plan
special Scout entertainments to
donate the proceeds. No sum has
been suggested as a contribution.
The World Friendship Fund will
be a continuous project as long as
the need exists.

Boy Scouts to Participate
in World Friendship Fund

Boy members and adult leaders
of the Washtenaw Livingston Coun-
ell, Boy Scouts Of America living in
Washtenaw and Livingston coun-
ties, will contribute to a World
Friendship Fund" to help reorgan-
lie Scouting in Allied countries
devastated by the war, 1t was an
nounced today by Paul Uber, presi-
dent of the Council.
Each Cub. Scout and leader who
believes in the ideal of world Scout
brotherhood will be given an op-
portunity to contribute personally
whatever he wishes. In addition,
troops and Cub packs win decide
the method and extent of their par
ticipation.
The World Friendship Fund was
launched by the National Council
Of the Boy Scouts OF America
which has underwritten the cost Of
its promotion and administration.

have gone out OF business and Main
Street is now lined on both sides
by chain stores, the managers OF
which are here today and gone
tomorrow" believe that the chain
system has come TO stay and has
even greater possibilities OF de.
velopment; but the chains must
learn to take a greater interest in
community development.
Another change that returning
boys notice is in connection with
the nationality of the people. There
always were a considerable number
OF Portuguese and Italians in Glou-
cester; but they lived in a small
district and were not a factor in
the community. During the past 80
years, however, this so-called for
eign" element has been having six
or eight children, whole the native
population has been having only
one or two, or perhaps none. More
over, these Italians and others are
very hard workers and thrifty.
while the descendants OF the native
population prefer TO take life easy
and buy whatever they wish. AS a
result. the Italians are taking over
the best localities in the city and
are constantly becoming a more i'm
portant factor | fear 1t is largely
another illustration of the old say
ing: only three generations from
shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves.
Many Vacant Stores
While there is shortage OF
houses, Inotice many vacant stores
and vacant Offices as go through
the city streets. These have been
vacated by men who have gone
into the Service and will probably
again he in demand after World
War II is over. Readers having va
cant stores or Offices to rent should
not sacrifice them at this time.
The Law OF Action and Reaction
is always in force. Property which
is now in tremendous demand -
like small housewife some day
again be a drag on the market.
Small stores and Offices which are
now vacant will some day again be
in brisk demand. Therefore, IL you
are a tenant renting such, try to
make as long a lease as you can;
but IL you are a property-owner,
make as short lease as you can
on empty stores and Offices.
Postwar Rents
Different forms of real estate will
have different postwar rent exper-
fences. Some farm land will go up
in price. and other such land will
60 down. There should be a good
demand for suburban real estate;
while city property-especially in
districts enjoying wartime booms-
will decline. l. however, see little
possibility OF reduction In rents.
Except in the wartime boom dis
tricts, tenants may pay higher
rents after the rent ceilings" have
been removed. OF all parties. the
landlords of rented properties have
been treated most roughly by the
OPA. Both from lack of funds
and an inability to secure carpen-
tiers, plumbers and material, main
tenance has been neglected. To
get the funds to make these need
ed improvements, landlords must
charge higher rents.
This brings me to the final
change which I have noticed this
summer, namely, the way old
