 Tuesday his luck was no bet ter. the distance travelled no greater before his tortured feet gave up and he went back to the cabin.
 The third day he knew there could be no turning back. He wrapped his feet in parts of a parachute, cutting his boots So he could get them on. From a refrigerator in the cabin he took two small shelves and fastened them Ito his feet with parts of his parachute. Then he struck out again.
 All afternoon and night he foundered along, but the shel- ve-snowshoes helped him and he sank only 18 inches instead of two or three feet with each step. An ice cold rain soaked him to the skin but he couldn' t

No War Yet

Last Sunday marked the beginning
of one of the biggest movements this
country, yes, even this world, has
ever seen.
Feb. 6 marked the birth of the Boy
Scouts, Forty-five years ago, man
was given an official charter by the
President of the United States, and
the first official Boy Scout troops were
formed.
Since that time, As years ago, hun
dreds, thousands, maybe even mil
lions of boys have been directed on
the right road to a useful manhood
through the training they received in
their Scout troops.
The Boy Scouts were begun by a
man with an ideal. He believed that
boys were good, that boys could be
directed while they were still boys,
that boys could be taught by showing
instead of beating.
l don't know that mans name. And
1t l could call it to mind, you would
not remember it for long. He was a
great man in that he had foresight
and courage. He was one of our great
est men.
His work has spread out all over
the face of the globe. There are Bow

sorrow, disappointment and
Illustration. The men wore rea-
dymade suits, but to Myrtle
Beach's warm sun, they made
the concession of leaving off
their vests.
This meant that it was their
first trip TO the Sunny South.
The sports shirts and sun-back
dresses, they would come later.
They would know to wear light
er clothing on the next trip.
One of the women, tall and
homely, but with a certain beau
ty in her face because we were
happy and showed it, whisper
ed to another one of the party.
AT first she looked almost shock
ed, but then her face too Lit up
with excitement and she blurt-
ed out
Edith wants us to wade in the
ocean," she called to the rest.
Laughter and giggles followed
the announcement and one OF
the men took up the jibe.
Go ahead -, you're not
game"
"Well," the woman called
Edith. az for one, am not going
back home until I've wet a foot
in the ocean. I want to tell the
WSCS that I went wading in the
sun here while they had frost
on their windows"
So. urged on by the men, the
women-all Of them in their
late forties or middle fifties,
took off their shoes and stock
ings, and giggling like a bunch
OF school girls, they advanced on
the ocean.
One Of them squeeled with the
chill of the water as the sea
threw bit of froth against her
calls. But Edith urged them on,
and soon the women were knee
deep in the surging cream of the
Oceans edge.
The mon stood on the beach,
laughing, calling encouragement
and holding the shoes and stock
ings. Their faces were lighted
up too with the genuineness OF
the high moment.
You knew, if you could have
watched with me, that this story
would be told over and over

There are either some fire bugs
being overly active or people are
being entirely too careless. Fire is
great destroyer of lives and property
and realization of the danger can
make us all cautious enough to avert
at least part of the flames.
1t might do us all good to look over
our homes and other property occas-
ionally with an eye to greater fire
protection and practice little safety
before our troubles start.

Stitch In Time

Did you ever stop to think about
the unusual number of bad fires that
have ragged in Columbus and Horny
Counties in recent months?
There's the Green Sea gym, the
school building here, the Ritz Theatre,
super market, and half-dozen or
30 homes. Fair Bluff has had several
fires, and last week Whiteville had a
major disaster. Conway had a bust
ness district fire that destroyed sew
eral business location. There have
been entirely too many and the dol
lars and cents loss is astronomical.

Scouts in Britain, China, Africa, India,
Japan. South America, Canada.
And their faces are yellow, red,
white, black, brown.
And though different in color, they
are all alike in mind when they be-
Geve and repeat, Con my honor, |
will do my duty to God and my
country. :"
They speak different languages and
they salute different flags and in diff
ferent flags and in different ways.
But they are united when they pledge
ito obey the Scout Laws at all times"
Some dress in kits, some in shorts
and puttees, some in leather pants and
feather headdresses. But their eyes
all shine alike when they promise to
keep myself physically strong, men,
tally awake, and morally straight"
There are more Boy Scout Troops
than there are religious denomina-
tons. There are more Boy Scouts than
there are men. There are millions and
millions of Boy Scouts.
And they have met together and
eaten together and learned together
for 45 years and not one troop has
declared war on any other troop.
1t sort of makes a man feel small.

So his Is New York
By NORTH CALLAHAN

At a well-known store here
which deals in antique furniture,
Jewelry etc. an elderly man was
seen looking anXiously through
the show cases. Now and then
he would pause before some
trinket and gaze intently at il,
then slowly shake his head and
move on to the next. Once or
twice he stopped to rub the
moisture off his spectacles, con-
tinuing his search as if his life
depended on it. A clerk who ap-
preached him and asked il he
could help was politely turned
away with thanks. The old man
said he was lust looking''-and
there could be no doubt Of that.
Finally, he gave little cry, and
the clerk rushed over to him.
The man was pointing at small
gold bracelet, his hand shaking
a little. "Oh there it is" he cried
In a voice choked with emotion.
I've been looking for it for
years. You see, it belonged to
my good wife-I gave it to her
and we had to sell it during the
depression. Now it's my best re-
membrane Of her"
Walter Scott Shinn, the fam
Gus children's photographer, told
me the other day Of a man who
had a sign up, Fresh Fish for
Sale" A friend stopping by re-
minded him that the fish were
assumed to be fresh" so why
not leave that word out Of the
sign? AS a matter of fact, eve
lryone knows they are for sale, "
the friend went on, so why not
omit those words too. And on
second thought, this perhaps
well-meaning fellow stated, you
can even leave out the word
'fish"-for folks can smell them
a mile away.

There were two cars from
Ohio that pulled up to the small
palm matched picnic hut near
Myrtle Beach last September
The drivers parked, and the oc-
'cupants sat there looking.
Uninterrupted rollers were
breaking far out from the beach
The gathering ground swells
seemed to rise enormously be-
fore they. too. broke out their
white crests and crashed into the
sands, rolling along in a smoth-
ering Turbulence that Kissed and
muttered over the wet beach.
1t is solumnly beautiful sight
because there is something OF
eternity in it. 1t has some of the
great secret in its never-endins
ebb and flow, in its constant
pounding and its ceaseless ham,
mering.
There is an uneasy sense oil
some invisible presence. Some
thing from far away back the
ancient path man has followed
seems to knock at the door OF
the present.
AT last the spell is broken by
the sun-browned hand of the
man behind the wheel as he puts
forth his hand to open the door
Let's get out" he said.
Doors opened, and there was
the movement of ten persons
getting out of the two cars, of q
conversation beginning. They
walked down to the solpine
sands halfway to the rolling
flood.
They stood there, silent again
They were plain people Of nc
obvious distinction. Solidness
and conservation were clearly
written across their bronzed
faces. Hard work and a stub
born will had engraved theiI
records on their faces.
Character was there, and sc
ices to restore the Old North
Church in Boston that was top
pied by hurricane Carol, may
have to put up some of the tall
steeple by helicopter. The job
will get underway this spring
and such of the money used has
already been donated by school
children and others all over the
