sstence Of the Boy Scouts Of Am
erica. This thriving Movement has
affected the lives of more than
15,5o0.0OO boys and men who have
in turn, contributed TO the gen

The theme of this years Boy
Scout Week is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Scouting but it's much more
than that. Boy Scouts get the sat
fsfaction Of learning by doing
exciting things, to help other
people at all times" and enjoying
outdoor activities.
No yardstick can measure the
harvest OF advantage Boy Scouts
bring TO the nation and the COM
munity But the Scouts depend on
the active support Of each one Of
us TO increase and extend these
benefits.
Lets help them grow-a n d
thereby reap for ourselves a larg-
or crop of healthier, happier
young men.

Tomlinson's complaint, filed by

Williams, requests the Federal

Argument was heard before
Judge Ganey on January II on
Federal Attorney E. A. Kallick's
motion to dismiss on grounds that
General Lewis b, Hershey. Dir

Court. Kallicks motion further
asserted that the question of is
