Boy Scouts Council
Of Women S Reserve

e. fE=N .l
Women are to be allowed to
join the Boy Scouts. No, they
won't be known as Girl Scouts"
They will be called the "Women's
Reserve of the Boy Scouts Of
America" according to Andres
Salas, Scout Executive of the
Puerto Rico-Virgin Islands Coun-
Gil, The Puerto Rico-Virgin Is
lands GG~oaaHzfeeii announced.
Before the change-the only
women formally connected with
the Scouting program were the
registered den mothers for Cub
Scout units. Other women, said
Salas, Are also playing a silent
but important, part in making the
Scouting program available to
boys of Cub Scout, Boy Scout and
Explorer age. Our national execu-
tive board voted to provide an
opportunity for those women who
so desire to become officially af-
filiated with the movement in
other than den mother capacity"
To be eligible for a member
ship card in the new group, a wo-
man must be at least II years of
age and an American citizen or
have declared her intention of be-
coming a citizen. She will be re-
gistered only on a local Council
basis but will receive the national
magazine, Scouting"
The reservists may serve as
faculty members in Cub Scout
training courses, assist in other
Cub training activities, aid in
Finance and public relations CAM
paigns. They also can serve in
mothers clubs, parents clubs and
other auxiliary groups. When men
can not be found, they will serve
as merit badge counselors.
The change, Salas asserted, will
not change scoutings emphasis as
a boys movement under the ac-
tive leadership of boys and men"

Wide-awake towns everywhere

with great success.
G. Reynolds Stevenson purch-
ased a 20 horse power auto
mobile runabout and expects it
down shortly.
The concensus of opinion is
that the order was better in
Smyrna Saturday night than it
has been for months. Answer
ing the appeals of some citi-
zens on North Main Street,
Council at an adjourned ses-
sion, summoned Alderman Crow
and Policeman Turner before
them to take over this situation
as we'll as the automobile law
Saturday night Alderman Crow
put on two extra police who
under the direction of Chief-of-
police Benjamin w. Turner kept
a close vigilance. Council had
ordinances printed defining the
law against loafing and loiter-
ring on street corner and pub
lie places with the result that
good behavior was reported
everywhere. Resident on North
Main Street as we'll as those
residing in other parts of the
town are delighted over the ac-
tivity displayed by our police
department and hope their eff
forts will continue until drunk
enness and rodyism on our
streets are entirely broken up.

"The figures point to the need
to use more caution in doing
the normal things that people
do in the warm months-swim-
ming, boating, travelling, pic
nicking and other recreational
activities of all kinds" said Mr..
Kinnamon. These activities are
fun. 1t only takes a little extra
caution to enjoy them in safe
ty."
On weekend trips and on
longer vacation trips it is inn
portant to leave early enough
to make your driving unhurried,
MIR. Kinnamon continued. Many
of the highway accidents that
happen in the summer months
are caused by people in hurry.
Don't be one of those. Take
time to be safe"
Avoiding other accidents is
also largely matter of taking
the simple precautions that are
dictated by common sense. Not
overlooking the boat sounds
like a reasonable rule, but too
many fun-seeking fisherman and
other boatmen seem to ignore
it too often"
Another point that may be

Much improvement has been
made at the corner of Main and
Mt. Vernon streets, adjoining
the residence of L. Irving Han
dy, by the removal of the little
one-story shop. The building,
long an eyesore to the residents
of that part of the town as well
as the "Dr. Daniels property"
has been moved by John c.
Stockley to his lot corner of
Main and North streets. Years
ago, this shop was the business
stand of Billy Horner, a well
known character in his day. In
later years it has been tenanted
by colored people and was used
as a store and ice cream saloon.
Mr.. Stockly will grade the place
vacated by the building and
convert it into a grass plot as
part of the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Handy. The iron fence in
front of the Handy residence
will be used to enclose the plot
with the idea in view of MAX
ing it an attractive corner.
Councilman James H. Roberts
has purchased a Buick touring
car and Mrs. Margaret Bailey
and Mr.. Daniel c. Daley have
purchased a four passenger

Falling in line with other
towns of the State, w. G. Roe,
one of our hustling merchants,
has started the ball rolling for
the establishing of what will be
termed a Bargain Day" in
Smyrna, one day in a week
when goods are sold at special
ly low, rock bottom prices. He
has set aside Wednesday as will
be seen in his advertisement
of special prices in another col
umn. Other merchants will
probably adopt the same day
and if generally INDUCED in,
will work to the advantage of
the whole town. The Bargain
Day" is no new innovation.

Shirer Writes:
Hitler Would
Have Vented Hare
On US. NEGRO

New York, Dec. If the United
States had been defeated in World
War II, American Negroes would
have received brutal treatment at
the hands Of the Nazis, William l..
Shirer believes.
Shirer, author Of THE Rise and
Fall of the Third Reich" says
Adolf Hitler would have turned on
the American Negro with venge-
ance after he had exterminated
millions of Jews.
In an historical fantasy in the
current issue Of Look Magazine,
Shirer gives this description of
how history might have been
written at the time if Hitler tri-
umphed:
Hitler decreed complete segre-
cation for Negroes and forbade
them on the pain of death from
leaving the territories of the states
in which they live. He also made
it a capital crime for a Negro to
have sex relations with a non
Negro woman.
Negroes were deprived of the
right to practice law, medicine,
dentistry or journalism Their
rations are fixed at two thirds of
the hunger rations of the rest of
the people They are forbidden
to ride airplanes or railroad trains
or to own automobiles Negro
parents bearing children out of
wedlock are subject to the death
penalty.
by his harsh treatment of the
colored people, Hitler apparently
expects to win support from
Southern whites. But they, too,
are revolted by his barbarism."

Birmingham (ANP) - Birming-

Police said it has long been a
local custom fer unemployed Ne
groes to congregate at certain
points hoping to get work from
truckers and contractors.
But officers said motorists have
objected to Negroes opening up
their car doors, asking for work
and then leaving the car doors
open.
About 80 Negroes went on trial
last week charged with vagrancy
for such job hunting. The vagran-
cy charge carries a $500 fine and

By Hazel Underwood
10! The LIGHT!

Above the manger stood a star,
A star all wondrous white;
And all about His lowly bed
There welled flood of light
1t bathed the stable in its glow,
1t shone round Mary's head;
And on the kneeling shepherds cloalxs
Its radiant beams were she'd
Star of the World Through time and spac,
1t flames in glory bright
To make mans pathway through the year
A pilgrimage of light.
1t shines for us; that light still shines
No cloud can dim its spark
Its radiance blossoms bright with joy,
A beacon in the dark.
The path leads on, the path leads up;
We walk it mile by mile,
And To- the light His love has Lit
Grows brighter all the while.
Oh, never doubt it shines for you!
Though skies seem dark and low,
Keep looking up, keep lifted up;
Somewhere a star will show!
Let not your heart be trouble-filled;
The darkest night must clear
And life be glad and life be sweet;
For 10! the light is here!
