Scout Ideals
Strengthens
Liberty S Arm
(By Francis X. Guardipee)

(By Francis X. Guardipee)
STRENGTHENING t h e Arm of
Liberty" which is the slogan of
the Boy Scouts 10th anniversary
crusade ends with the Rational
Jamboree to be h e | d at Valley
Forge, Penn. from ] une 80 to
July 6.
To fully understand this slogan
one must go back a few years to
the beginning of the Boy Scout
movement in the United States.
Starting with the idea of giving
the teen-age boy something to do
as well as to keep i'm out of
mischief, it has been expanded
to the colossal extent of training
the boy and his leaders in t h e
ways of a better understanding
of his duty to God, his country
and his fellow man. as indicated
in the Scout oath. From a small
beginning it has expanded to in
clude 565, 900 Scouters, laymen
to you. and at present approx
mately 1890, 600 Scouts in a | |
classes-Cube, Scouts, Explorers,
etc. The expansion has taken in
boys from every walk of life and
every nationality. Men from
everywhere have volunteered to
take part in the movement.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1950-05-12

From an idea to help a boy en-
joy the companionship of other
boys, it has grown to the extent
that a boy, who has earned his
various ranks and classes can go
forward to any height h a he
aspires, as he has had the train
ing essential to the successful use

acquired knowledge that would

practice of the Scout oath and
law, he has learned good citizen

The Fabulous Hour

Before this fireplace rici-toned piols sound
Through the midnight stiffness In this

Flutes from the past an old refrain hare

And dance 1t through the Goals where
dreams are drought.
Time naoUes its measured tloto on to the
deep,
And aDonder teams Nth the splendor of
the moon,
While through the room the cautious
SHADOWS creep, 80
And day so soon tpil come, ,DiH come so
Opening the door, / look into the night,
And then return to ,ohere the hearth

And settle doaon, to repel In the sight

As the minds fuel kindles into flame

Donkey In Wonderland

Inc reports OF the meeting of "loyal''
Democrats down in Raleigh, N. c.. read
ike something from Alice In Wonderland
The measure of the loyalty of the Raleigh
Democrats is their support of President
lrumans Fair Deal program. They say
they are for it. That is, they are for it
provided nobody mentions the Civil Rights
program. They are not for that.
Yet it was the Civil Rights program
which brought about the split in the
democratic Party in 1948. The States
Rlgnts, or "disloyal," Democrats are against
'ne ClVll Rights program. Perhaps they are
also opposed to other aspects of the Fair
Deal, as are good many of the 'loval"
democrats. 1t is the Civil Rights program
however, and especially the FEPC PROPOSAL
that has split the South wide open,
so when Jonathan Daniels summons the
loyal Democrats to Raleigh to whoop it
up Tor the Presidents program, but with
the understanding that there will be no
mention of Civil Rights the impression
is one OF men moving in world of make
believe.
certainly the whole thing has been a
farce II one assumes that the loyal Demo-
crats are acting in behalf of the Southern
voters. For with these voters the over
riding issue is the Civil Rights program.
Inc pro-Truman Democrats could not
muster corporaps guard of support
among the rank-and-f1le if they came out
openly In favor of Civil Rights They know
this, and that is why there was no men
ton OF Civil Rights at Raleigh, either bv
the native Democrats or by any of the
olg-name Democrats imported from Wash
1ngton for the occasion.
1t is quite possible, however, that the
wishes OF the Southern voters are not the
immediate concern of either faction. There
Is suspicion, strong suspicion, that
Wnat Is going on down in Dixie is struggle
between two groups of politicians for con-
troll OF the election machinery of the
Southern States If the pro-Truman fac
tlon can take control there will be little
danger OF defections from the party in
1852, and for this there will be rewards in
the form of Federal patronage. If the
States Fighters can hang on, they will
retain their local control even though thev
have lost their former patronage.
What will finally emerge remains to be
seen. But the position of the Truman
Democrats is not strong one, and it is
not apt to become strong as long as they
are afraid to permit even a mention of the
issue which split the South in 1s4s, and
which continues to be the biggest single
obstacle to real unity.
