crowded into my room to ask
about America. One of them, anX-

that the Win the Peace Commit

American cities against keeping
troops in China. This boy knew

badges, wooden shoes. post cards
and German Iron Cross. But Eddie
has also brought home ideas gained
on the six-week trip.
There were almost 10000 boys
there" says Eddie. ''It was really
fun to talk to boys from other parts
of the world and find out what they
do in their countries. Most of them
spoke English, so 1t wasn't hard
talking with them.
"We really got along together fine,
at our meetings, hikes and picnics.
The jamboree theme, you know, was
world peace. Most of us didn't see
any reason why grownups could not
get together and talk things over
like we did"
A high spot of the trip, although
not included in the official itinerary,
was a visit to the French "Follies." !"
Eddie admits the "Follies" were as
interesting" as anything he saw on
the trip.
Eddie, who was born in st. Joseph,
Mo-, has lived in the Washington
area for five years, and has served
The Star for four. An Eagle Scout,
he is a Junior at Western High
School.
After he finishes high school he
hopes to get an appointment to
Annapolis or West Point-he is not
sure which he prefers.

A typical example OF how British

many autos as she did before the
war, but she is exporting PAP percent

Her target for 1913 is to make 400, 900
cars, and to export so percent of
them. which will mean that more than
1000 cars will be sent abroad every
working day to help Britain pay her
way.
The soaring production figures are
reflected in the latest export. returns.
