natural conditions. They have
been graded and patched
periodically and as often as
limited funds have permitted.
However, it is contemplate

where the two new plants were
opened, citizens were eager tc
have the new plants locate in
their community and helped raise
money for the building, on a loan
basis, and took a great interest
in the business enterprise. They
were happy, contented, good
workers and had the interest OF
the business at heart.
Labor relations in such a plant,
and in a community which appre-
ciates the location of such a
plant, are the best
These are the reasons, in brief,
why SO many big corporations
are building plants in the nations

for the nation and produces good
management = labor relations, and
for that reason the trend will

ON WEEKS AND ONTHS


Promoters have done a pretty
thorough job on the fifty-twC
weeks in the year, and the twelve
months. For example, in addition
to the charity drives and major
celebrations and events during the
month of January, the month was
also Golden Rule Month and Su-
permarket Month.
In January, certain weeks were
Odorless Decoration Week, Take
Tea and See Week, Idaho Potato
and Onion Week, and so on. A
national Potato Chip Week was
also thrown in.
February is the Apple for
Teacher Month, which we are not
able to explain, and includes such
weeks a. National Weight Watch
ers Week and National Pimento
Week.
In March comes Return of Bor-
rowed Books Week, as well as
National Peanut Week. There is
also National Smile Week and a
lay.
That about brings us up to
date for the immediate future,
although we know our readers
will want to start preparing now
for National Domestic Rabbit
Week, which falls in May.
Another period to look forward
to is National Dents Out of Fen
.ers Month. which comes in June.
In fact, June has a lot of stun
ming celebrations for. the feeble
minded, such as American Fresh
Water Pearl, Dairy, Portable Ra-
.io and National Ragweed Con-
troll celebrations. Thinking that
list over, we can hardly wait for
June to come.@Selected.

FEBRUARY
The trees stand wistful in the
square
With a half expectant air.
The sky is a slender silver bel
That waits to sound the
knell
OF Winter.
Anne Mary Lawler
1t seems that no sooner has the
new year arrived than February
is knocking on the doorstep. The
arrival of the second month In
the year signifies that one-twelfth
of 1857 is at an end.
February is a deep winter
month, and it is cold throughout
in most parts of the country and
is perhaps the bitterest month of
winter. Only January usually
rivals il seriously for this honor.
February in 1857 has twenty
eight days, whereas February in
1856 was a Leap Year February,
with twenty-nine days. That
means that 1857 will be over a
day earlier than 1856.
The first quarter of the moon
will appear on February 7th and
will reach the full stage on the
l4th. The last quarter will be
observed on the 21st. If you are
interested, the moon will be full
at exactly eleven hours and thirty
minutes A. M, on the 14th when,
of course, it will not be visible.
Morning stars in February will
be Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and
Saturn. The evening star will be
Mars.
Days will continue to get long
er during February, the first day
of the month being exactly ten
hours long, while the last on the
18th, will be over eleven hours
long - eleven hours and eleven
minutes to be exact. ;
The major holidays in Febru-
airy are, as all Americans know,

FEBRUARY


During February, America OBJ
serves the birthdays of several
of its illustrious sons - Wash
ington, Lincoln, and Thomas Edi-
son. Another birthday celebration
of national proportions in which
all America can properly join is
that of the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca.
Scouting in the United States
reaches its 47th anniversary dur
ing Boy Scout Week, February
6 to IL. 1t is difficult to recall
when our nation did not have this
character-building, leisure time
program for its boys and young
men.
Since February 8, 1910, more
than $4,000, 900 American boys
and men have been influenced by
the Scout Oath and Law. They
have had the benefits of Scouting
training, fellowship, handicraft
skills, and high adventure.
America is all the richer for it.
Many men in high places in
American affairs today proudly
credit Scouting's influence in their
lives .
Today over $500, 900 boys and
men r actively enrolled in $40
local councils with a membership
of ILL., 900 units. Fortunate indeed
are communities where Scouting
flourishes.
American adults Of good char
acter give generously of their
time in giving leadership. Others
help by raising funds, or in SER
wing as members of local Boy
Scout councils which in turn pro-
vide training for leaders, camp
facilities, worthwhile y~ear-round
activities, personal advancement,
and opportunities for Scouts to
render community service.
This summer there will be a
mountain peak" experience for
more than $4,000 Boy Scouts, Ex-
plorers, and their leaders when
they gather at historic Valley
Forge in Pennsylvania for their
Fourth National Jamboree. We
earnestly hope our community
will be well represented when
Scouts from all over the nation
camp together.
1t will be a gathering of youth
who will be among the nations
top leaders a few decades hence.
