All Of us have responsibilities to

parents-actually or constructively
and responsible, and ought above
everything else to make the fullest
contribution possible to the develop

April 81 to May 4 is National
Boys and Girls Week." Serving
on the national committee this year
are the officers of many national
and international organizations
which devote themselves to work
for and with boys and girls. 1t is
impossible to tell just how many
communities celebrated the week
last year, but literally thousands
did. The observances varied from
individual school assembly and SER
vice club programs to elaborate
full-scale community celebrations
carrying through the entire week.
This year there will be nature
shows and contests, athletic events
and field meets, father-and-son and
mother-and-daughter b anque s.
There will be first aid and safety
demonstrations and hundreds of
scout circuses. There will be essay
contests and parades.
The important thing for your
community and mine is to be in
touch with the National Committee.
Attractive literature has been pre-
pared and there is not a spot in
America where some attractive pro-
gram cannot be arranged. You
should be able to get the address of
the National Boys and Girls Week
Committee from your local YMCA
or YWCA, Boy or Girl Scout Execu-
tive. II they do not have the in

best chance and mine to do some
thing about that future is to have
a vital interest in this particular
week.

story: A rich man dies and three
brothers in a far away city go to
New York to invest a portion Of
their inheritance in merchandise
for their fine department store in
