Rappahannock News, April 1, 1954

SOME OBSERVATIONS PRO ... and CON For opening dayers this week end will be a gala one in Culpeper for Barron’s Tire Service is havtheir opening celebration' with free gifts at 2 P.M. Friday; and Newberry’s is celebrating the opening of the addition to their store today April 1 (and this is not an April Fool either), o o o o —4— How many of us ever stop to * think ;how fortunate we are in having the Bloodmobile and X-ray clinic visit our county. The bloodmobile visited SperryviVc last week and afforded the people of Rappahannock an opportunity to supply the blood bank with plasma to be used in case anyone from this county should need blood. Today the x-ray truck will be at Washington for chest x-rays for the citizens of Rappahannock. The hours for this clinic and x-ray are 10 am. to 4 p.m. today, April 1, at the County Health Dept, ' '.O-OOO' Next Wednesday at the Courthouse should be an eventful occasion for that is the time set for , .anyone having something to say about the proposed budget to let his views be aired—not frait until after the budget has been approved and then start griping. So be at the meeting in the Courthouse next Wednesday morning and see how your money will be spent for the next-year. . . o o © o 'Friday night attffiFCotirthouae at 8 o’clock there will be a meeting to discuss the proposed home for the aged for this area. — __ This is a‘very important subject and the meeting should be well attended. At the present time the proposal is for a home for the aged, chronically illr and convalescent to be established at Warwick, near Newport News. Let’s attend the proposal discussed. o o o o The Question last week was answered by Mrs. Daniel Jacobs of Woodville—the answer was: Oliver Goldsmith. For a free year's subscription to the News be the first to let us know who was nominated to run as ’Vice-President with ‘‘Teddy” Roosevelt at the Republican Convention in Chicago in 1912. Rappahannock Meets To Discuss Home Recently much publicity has been , givfcn to a nursing home in the southern part of our country where - the old people were starved and cruelly treated. One would guess that there are homes of this type in most states. Usually the patients in these homes have small incomes or are public assistance cases, because the homes charge less. The home just •mentioned aroused considerable public indignation, yet we here in Rappahannock County do not give much thought to what happens to our homeless and ill old people. This county now has a chance to prevent such a tragedy here. The home for the aged and chronically ill proposed for this area of this State will be an institution of which we can all be proud. Rappahannock County can have a share in this, but we have to want it enough to appropriate our share of the building fund. Come to the Court House tomorrow night at 8 p.m. and hear more about it . AUXILIARY MEETING The Woman's Auxiliary of the Trinity Episcopal, church will meet Wednesday. April 7 in the church at 3:30 p.m. Spittlebug Control Demonstrations To Be Held April 6 Dr, J. O. Rowell, Extension Entomologist of V.P.I., will conduct method demonstrations on Spittlebug ■Control on Tuesday, April 6, as follows: 9:00 a.m.—I. L. Parrish farm near Estes. . 10:00 a.m.—Woodrow Coughlin farm near Castleton. 11:00 a.m.—C. E. Johnson farm at Sperryville. The meadow spittlebug is a small insect which can severely damage Alfalfa and clover. The yellowish „ young insects occur in masses of spittle-like secretions on the plants. Most of the damage is done by the immature insects while in these spittle-like masses by sucking the sap i from the plants. Not only does this reduce hay* yields but also may kill some plants. While most of the , damage is to the first hay crop frequently second growth is seriously 3 affected. . This insect is beecoming of greatest economic concern annually in Rappahannock. Last year farmers reported getting wet to my knees while . walking across hay fields in mid after noon well after all dew had evaporated. Results of control methods have frequently meant i to % ton increased yields elsewhere in Virginia and it is felt such could well be expected here in our. county, For this reason the above demonstrations on How To Do The Job has been arranged. “A check or untreated area will be left in each field so farmers in their respective communities will have opportunity to see the effectiveness of the treatment themselves. Dr. Rowell will use 150 pounds of 2% heptachlor granulated material per acre which in addition to controlling the spittlebug is also effective against the clover root curculio. S.V.F.D. Halts Blaze At Atkins Home A fire of undetermined origin swept through the home of W. C. Atkins in Sperryville, Thursday night causing extensive smoke and heat damage. The fire starting in the kitchen, burned through the walls, into the dining room nearby and into the bedroom above. The Sperryville Volunteer Fire Company was alerted when a citizen saw the smoke billowing through a window. They rushed to the scene and soon had the fire under control. The Washington and Culpeper Companies attended the fire, but before their arrival, the Sperryville company had conquered the flames. Mr. Atkins and his sister, who were watching television at the time of the alert, were not aware of the fire until it had gained some headway. Although there was considerable “damage throughout the 8-room house the Atkinses are able to make their home there while repairs are under way.

Department Considers Closing Post Office At Estes j-'. “Contemplates the discontinuance” is the polite phrase which the Post Office Department employed recently when notifying Representative Burr P. Harrison that the post office at Estes, Rappahannock County may be closed. No proposed date for the closing Was given in the official communication received by Mr. Har- rison from Assistant Postmaster General N. R. Abrams. The letter follows: Dear Congressman Harrison: This is to advise you that an in, vestigation has disclosed * that the fourth class post office at Este§, Rappahannock County, Virginia, may properly be discontinued. The salary for the postmaster is $574.46 per annum, including longevity compensation. He receives an allowance of $86.17 for rent, light •and fuel. The receipts of the office for the calendar year 1952 were $144.34. Eighteen families receive and dispatch mail through this post office and they could receive adequate service by a rural carrier operating from Castleton, Virginia. To provide service to all patrons it is proposed to extend the rural route approximately 4.30 miles. This extension was discussed with the postmaster and rural carrier at Castleton and Iboth agreed that the extension was ^practicable and could be easily haitdlThe postmaster stated that some of the patrons of the office had approached him and suggested that the route be extended as now proposed. In order that you may be properly informed, you are advised that the Department contemplates the discontinuance of the post office at Estes....- • — Sincerely yours, _ ' N. R. Abrams Ass’t. Postmaster General Mr. Harrison has sent a copy of the letter to the postmaster at Estes, Thomas H. Utz, and has assured him that he will seek fair and nonpartisan consideration of any facts which, might “tend to contradict the claim of the Post Office Department that equal service could be provided the patrons at an appreciable saving."

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE.. Publisher Entered as second -class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) $2.00 a year The Peoples9 Postal Service Speech of Hon. Burr P. Harrison of Virginia in the House of Representatives, Tuesday, March 9, 1954: Mr. Crosser. Mr, Chairman, I yield 12 minutes to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Harrison). Mr. Harrison of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous concent to speak out of order. The Chairman. Is there any objection to the request of the gentleman from Virginia? There was no objection. (Mr. Harrison of Virginia asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. • Harrison of Virginia. Mr. Chairmari, I want to address myself to a matter that is of very grave concern to the rural people of our country, a matter of great injustice to them, being carried on by the administrators of the Post Office Department. The postal deficit for the fiscal year 1953 was $662,851,000. A very small part of that—about 31 percent of it—might be traced directly to the operation of rural post offices, fourth class, throughout the United States. If all of those post offices were discontinued,4 every one of them closed down, and the people now receiving service therefrom were given no service whatsoever, the postal deficit this past fiscal year would still have been approximately $640 million. Now, I favor, and I think the rural people all over the United States favor, any measures, however small, which result in economy in the operation of the postal department and which will not incur interruption of service. I do not think the administrators of the Post Office Department would find any objection from any rural area to the discontinuance of any post office where such discontinuance would result in economies without impairment of service.When this matter first came up, I sought and obtained from the Postmaster General personal assurances that, in the making of these decisions on rural postal service, there would be no political consideration whatsoever; that the matter would be determined in each individual case on the outcome of nonpartisan investigations made by the field officials of the Post Office Department, and that no consideration would be given what ever to &ny partisan advantage. Now, I was not satisfied with that, Mr. Chairman. 1 wrote and asked tor written assurances, and I received a letter from our distinguished former colleague, the Honorable Ben Guill— executive assistant to the Postmaster General—-in which he said, first, “that the decision in regard to fourthclass post offices will be entirely nonpolitical’’ ; second, “they will be based primarily on the objective reports of inspectors in the field;” third, they— “will be made only dftefr consultation with the Members, of Congress involved;” fourth, “ih' sfi6i*t,” he said, ‘‘any investigation -and action under - taken will be done so with the full understanding that the postal service is the possession of all the people of the United States and not of any one political party.” Now, I have no doubt that Mr. Guill meant what he said and intended to be entirely truthful, but he reckoned not on the effect of the political pressure from patronagehungry local political organizations on his superiors. . Despite the assurance referred to as No 3 that the decisons “will be made only after consultation with the Congressman involved,” I was amazed to read in the newspaper an announcement from the State chairman of a political party of the projected discontinuance of post offices m my district of which I had no previous knowledge. The chairman referred to was the chairman of the Republican Party. But that is beside the point. It would be just as improper for these decisions to be tunneled through the chairman of any other political party. Postal service is in the language of Mr. Guill “the possession of all the people of the United States and not of any one party.” / I immediately wrote a letter of protest to the Postmaster General, and although I have never received any answer to that I was answered in the public press by the State chairman referred to. In this statement, he made no contention that the decisions were nonpolitical or that they were not being funneled through him. He said: I admit I am not infallible, but I refuse to admit that I haven’t done my best to serve all the people in these matters. He further said: I have never had any suggestions, as I remember, from Representative Harrison about any of these matters. If I had, I would certainly have appreciated them. Now, Mr. Chairman, that is a pretty- how-do-you-do. After being assured by the Postmaster General that no decision would be based on the recommendation of a political committee, and that, as a Representative of the people, I would be informed of all contemplated decisions, I am criticized because I did not appeal to the political committee. In his letter, Mr. Guill said that the decisions would be based on the objecive reports of the inspectors in the field. Apparently, the local politicians have learned how to produce an objective report from the inspector in the field. I hold in my hand a satement from the chairman of the Virginia Seventh District Repuibican Committee made to the public press. With reference to one small community, he says: “I am happy to be able to assure the citizens” that the office will not be discontinued. How can he assure them? _He tells us in a public statement: Both the postal inspector for this area and I are in complete agreement that the office is needed. The inspecor and I. That is a nonpolitical decision. That is the way to get an objective report. That is showing full understanding that the postal service belongs to all the people and not to one political party. In another county, the original announcement called for the discontinuance of 7 post offices. Later, this number was reduced to 5, and this same political chairman announced in the public press that “This decision to continue the 2 post offices is keeping with the recommendations” of the local Republican committee. Mr. Chairman, again I say that I would have no criticism of a policy to discontinue an office where nonpartisan investigation shows that such action would result in economy without impairment of service. But these political committees are “not deciding this public question on the basis of economy to the taxpayer. Neither are they deciding them on the basis of efficieht service to the public. % They are saving a few in communities where the public protest is such that it becomes politically expedient so to do. In other communities, the decision seems to be based on the question 9f where a postmaster of one political party cap be. replaced by a rural carrier of another, and these decisions are made without regard to economy or efficiency but solely with regard to whether or not it is of benefit to patronage-hungry political organizations. ; '■ I wcnjld like simply to ask what we are heading into in the administration of the Post Office Department We have at the present time by and 5— HARRISON—Pag* 3 BUILDING FUND NEEDED On Wednesday, April 7 the Rap•pahannock County Board of Supervisors will meet to adopt a tenative budget for the year 1954-55. One of the basic fundamentals of sound budgeting is to allow depreciation for County buildings that will have to be replaced and to set aside each year-as these buildings depreciate a replacement fund. Rappahannock may take pride in * having provided for its. citizens a remodeled# Courthouse and also adequate offices for its County officials. A new jail has been built recently. Several years before the Courthouse was renovated the Board of Supervisors very wisely laid aside funds for the purpose. * Now the County and the Board of Supervisors are faced with <a more difficult and serious building problem. Our schools are both wearing out and inadequate. An inspection of either the Flint Hill, Washington, or Sperryville Schools should be sufficient evidence of this. Unfortunately no depreciation of the County Schools has been taken into account in the county budgeting and there has been no building fund set aside. But luckily Rappahannock had a windfall several years ago. During Governor Battle’s administration, state funds were allocated to Rappahannock for school building purposes. The County has not seen fit to take advantage of this fund of approximately $100,000.00. To do so It will have to raise money locally. Sound business as well as sound accounting practices seem to demand that we make a start at least toward raising money for a building fund if for ho other reason than to keep the Battle Fund. No one knows, but it is a good guess that if Rappahannock does not take advantage of this Battle Fund, the next General Assembly will find a use for it. Each succeeding year the State’s institutional requirements become greater. Therefore, let us act now. Let’s start to set aside each year a fund to use with the Battle money for capital improvements. —■ nmt—tti 4 RAPP - ©HATS j j i | By: W. H.

HARRISON—From Page 2 large a loyal army of postal employees appointed under civil-service regulations after civil-service examinations. Under the Hatch Act they are not engaged in any politics whatsoever and may not engage in politics under penalty of violation of the law. - I was very much surprised the other day to read a statement by our distinguished majority leader made in the atmosphere of the chicken dinner at a local arena on Lincoln’s birthday. He is quoted in the Washington Star as saying: . Representative Halleck said he personally would like to remove civ^service protection from all postmasters so that those appointed during Democratic administrations could be replaced by Republicans. He said present civil-service protection was phony. ‘ Mr. Brownson. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield? Mr. Harrison of Virginia. I yield to the gentleman from Indiana. Mr. Brownson. In my area it is rather the opposite. Every fourthclass post office that has been consolidated has placed one of the few Republican postmasters on the unemployed list. Would it be possible that it might be because any consolidation in the gentleman’s district would naturally place Democratic postmasters on the unemployed list? , Mr. Harrison of Virginia. That is not correct. In one county they do eliminate 16 post offices, but you get 4 rural carriers in place of them. I maintain that this service should be considered only from the public viewpoint and not from the political viewpoint. Mrs. St. George. Mr. Chairman, will the gentlemap yield? Mr. Harrison of Virginia. I yield to the gentlewoman from New York. Mrs. St. George. I have great sympathy for the gentleman, but I would like to tell him that I also represent 7 S rural area in the great State of New York and that many of my fourth-class post offices have been eliminated. They have been consolidated in most instances under Democratic postmasters who are still in office. My complaint is that quite a few whom I consider very worthy Republicans are being thrown out of jobs, and these little offices are being consolidated under a Democratic postmaster. So you see we all have the same complaint, depending on whose ox is being gored. Mr. Harrison of Virginia. May I ask the distinguished gentlewoman a question? Does she agreee with the majority leader that ffiecivil-servTce laws should be repealed and that all present postmasters should be discharged? Mrs. St. George. I do not think the distinguished majority leader made KENT UCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON 86 PROOF $045 4/5 Qt $015 “ Pint GLENMORE IS DISTILLED AMD BOTTLED BY USI GLINMORi DISTILLERIES COMPANY • LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY that statement Mr. Harrison of Virginia.

I think the statement of the gentlewoman from New York points up the fact that the Democratic administration evidently must have adhered to civil service if so many Re publicans have been put out of jobs by consolidation. - Mr. Harrison of Virginia. I have here an article which apparently shows what we may expect. This is an article by that budding leader, Clarence Budington Kelland, appearing in the American Magazine, and printed fully as policy in thte U. S. News & World Report. It is headed “A Republican's Advice to Ike.” This article purports to set forth the policy that must be followed by the Eisenhower adminisration to “save its own neck.” This is an illuminating article, and I recommend its study by the Congress. Mr. Kelland says, and I quote him: The unhappy fact is that the rank and file of party worl^ers are discontented and disgruntled. What are they discontented and disgruntled about t Mr. Kelland proceeds to tell us that they are disgruntled because of: This threat to the very life of a republican form of government as guaranteed to us by the Constitution, the octopus of civil service. He says further: Civil service is the Old Man of the Sea riding the shoulders and shooting off the breath of this Eisenhower administration. Mr. Kelland summarizes that: Our form of government is being threatened iby an entrenched civil service. 1 So, Mr. Chairman, we sum it up. Since the days of Grover Cleveland down through the administration of Woodrow Wilson, our country has made enormous progress in eliminating the spoils system in the operation of our Government. But now we see the postal service to our rural citizens throughout the country being determined, not through nonpartisan decisions of the duly constituted civil-service officials, but by political committees whose members, not public officials, are able, nevertheless, to manipulate postal service to all the people in the interest of jobs tinder the spoils system. And, then, we have the open threa from responsible leaders to do awa; with the civil-service system through with the spoils system. Mr. Halleck, in his statement which I referred to earlier, is also quoted by the Washington Star as saying that, while he advocated a change in the law to remove the civil service protection of postmasters, he had to face up to the fact that there were not enough votes in Congress to enact such a law now.

Garden Club Plans “Unique” Show “My Rappahannock Story Book,” the title of Miss Mary Elizabeth Hite’s account of early Rappahannock County will be the theme of a Spring Flower Show to be staged by the Rappahannock Garden Club, April 22, at the Washington Baptist Church Educational Building. In her book, Miss Hite describes the mountains* and its folk from the early settlers up to the present and she focuses attention upon homes and other buildings which still < stand proudly lending dignity and grace to the lives of these inhabitants as faithfully as they did many generations ago. Men and children, whether they are enthusiastic flower lovers or not, should still share an interest in the folklore depicted in the artistic classes. Inspiration for the show came from the chapters in Miss Hite’s book which describes such events as Court Day, Auction Sales, A Festive Ball, and A Fox Hunt. Most of these are being featured as flower arrangements or composition!*. Rappahannock is justly proud of Miss Dolily and the Garden Club will pay homage with one arrangement clasJ entitled “The Miss Dolly’’ which is an invitation class for neighboring garden clubs. One class of the flower show which is expected to draw particularly interest is a class FOR MEN ONLY entitled “Early Rappahannock Court Days.” A few men have already expressed a yen to try their hands at this art and it is hoped that many men will participate. (Can’t you just picture *he finely grown country gentlemen of old with silk hats and dashing mustaches, waxing eloquently inside the Courthouse while otlhers of the masculine population waxed . eloquently to their chewing, spitting and whittling companions on the benches outside?)

Can they be well fed and poorly nourished? Yes, they may fill up on desserts or in between snacks, and not get the needed proteins, minerals, vitamins required for body growth and maontenance. A high percentage of our teen-age boys and girls even from high income . bracket are undernourished. This statement comes as result of a 10 year study by Dr. Pauline Mack. It was found in this study that the average teen-ager betweeen 13 and 20 years of age is very often underfed and undernourished. Statistics prove that their health and future well being is being harmed by poor eating habits. 1. Only about % of group were getting enough energy food to keep the body running effeciently. Energy food, comes from protein, fat and carbohydrates. Proteins are in meat, eggs, milk, dairy products. Carbohydrates is found in vegetables, fruits, and cereals. Fats are found in nuts, salad oils, butter and cream. 2. Nearly half failed to get enouglf protein foods to build and repair body tissues. 3. There was a shortage of calcium and phosphorus needed for good teeth and bones which is found in dairy products, green leafy vegetables and eggs. 4. Poor growth, no resistance to fatigue and poor complexions were found where diets were short in butter, cooking fats and oils. 5. Vitamin shortage caused unsatisfactory growth, nervous condi1 tion and skin conditions. Best sources wre pork, beef, whole grain cereals, green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, tomatoes, etc: Changes needed were in proper food sldfction and proper cooking rather than highly expensive foods. The Prayer of Intercession John 17 By Rev. G. M. Profit! The scriptures speak of Jesus praying upon various occasions, but here iA His intecessory prayer we have a special place of honor. We are privileged to listen in upon the conversation between Jesus and the Father, while Jesus is in 'the very shadow of the cross. He is not asking for favors here, but is in communion with the Father expressing the desires of His heart. In expressing these desires and determination to the Father we are admitted into the heart, the mind will of Jesus. He lays His heart bare to the Father. The movement of this communion is 3 fold: verses 1-5 concern Himself ; verses 6-19 He is praying for those about Him and 20 on, He is praying for the whole church, that is down through the ages. His Desires were that He might Glorify the Father above every other desire. Even the saving of me is for the glory of God. He expresses' his desire to return to the Father and His „ former Glory, but also states that it must be by way of the cross, verse 5. He is here praying for the cross because it is by the cross He will put life at the disposal of humanity according to the Fathers purpose and will. Now may we look at His prayer for those about Him. He expressed 3 desires for them: First verse 11 “Keep them in Thy name, that they 1946—PLYMOUTH 4-door 1948*—PLYMOUTH 2-door 1951— DODGE 4-door 1952— PLYMOUTH 4-door 1946— BUICK 2-door 1947— CHEVROLET Club Coupe RUSSELL BROS., INC. CHRYSLER Sales Service PLYMOUTH CALL WASHINGTON 2575 Flint Hill, V*.' Route 522 may be one as we are one.” Second, “Keep them from the evil” and third, “Sanctify than in the truth,” verses 15 and 17 respectively. “As we are one.” Oneness among His followers is just as vital and necessary as oneness between Him and the Father. That is there must be oneness in life, oneness in light and onenes§ in love. They were to be kept through His name. Now what is the name of God, and what does it mean? God is not a name, it is a designation, neither is Lord it is a title, but His. name is Yahweh we speak of it as Jehovah; This is the name Jesus was referring to and it means the name of the one true and living God. who is above everything else in the Universe. In Him there is security and none arelost except Jud’s Iscarot. While Jesus was here “with them He had been their keeper but now that He is going away He commits them into the Fathers care and safe keeping. “Keep them from the evil.” Their business is in the world and He is praying for their protection against falling while carrying on the work of the Kingdom under the Father direction. How were they to be kept from the evil? By sanctifying them through His word. Separate them from the world through His Word, prayer and fellowship. Then He added, lest someone mistake this process of Sanctifying process, these words, “Thy word is truth.“ Sanctification is a process which begins the moment you believe and accept Him and runs on till death as a process of separation. Separating you from the sins of the world through the work of the Holy Spirit, His word, by prayer and fellowship one with another. - In His prayer for all who will believe through their word His first desire was that they be one, this is essential as their oneness of witness will make a. greater effect upon the worlds Then He speaks of the process of this oneness going on to perfection. That is it begins here and runs on until He returns to perfect the work. 1 After looking back through the years we ask ourselves was this prayer answered? The answer is Yes. He went to the cross as He desired and then returned to the Father thereby glorifying Him, concerning he disciples yes, except Judas Iscarot and they were kept^through His name an:! sanctified through His word. F.vil is everywhere and we can be kept from it only by the power of God which is greater power than the evil and is able to overcome the evil. Unless_our_consecration is unto Christ we will find ourselves in all kinds of trouble and wondering how we got there. Woodville News Notes William A.

Washington as viewed by YOUR SENATOR A. WILLIS ROBERTSON BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT HAS VALUE TO NATION The pressure of my Senate duties makes it difficult for me to accept many speaking engagements away from Washington, specially at this period of the year when our Appropriations Committee is- handling the big money bills. But two invitations I could not resist were those to adRobert E. Lee Area Boy Scout dress meetings sponsored by the Council in Richmond last month and 'by the Stonewall Jackson Area Boy Scout Council in Staunton this week. Since the Boy Scout movement was not organized in the United States until after I had graduated from college I 1iad no opportunity to engage' in formal scouting as .a boy but 41 had an early introduction to hunting and fishing and in connection with those recreations enjoyed many ! of the wholesome outdoor experences jr which are part of the Boy Scout program today. * I also became more intimately ac| quainted with the scout movement l when my own boys reached the age t to participate and I was proud when 1 my older son achieved the rank of | Eagle Scout. I have continued to keep I up with scouting since that time and j; feel privileged to be a member of the f Stonewall Jackson ^rea Council. This year’s special scouting project, which emphasizes an educational campaign to promote protection and wise management of our soil, water, mineral, forest, grassland and wildlife resources, has particular appeal for me because conservation of our renewable natural resources has been one of my major interests as a member of the Virginia General Assembly as Virginia Commissioner of Game and Inland Fisheries and as a member of Congress.— -——~ I have believed in this program not merely because of its economic value and because of the enjoyable “recreational opportunities affordedbut also because of the value which communing with nature has in the development of character. This was realized by the British Army Officer, Robert Baden-Powell, who founded the Boy Scout- movement to encourage the development of the heroic qualities which must be possessed by every nation which has to conquer a frontier. These qualities involve love of nature, fellowship of man and respect for God. They are summarized m the oath in which every Boy Scout promises : “On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout law; *to help other people at-all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.” * I agree with the National Scout Executive who recently told me in a letter: “How will the young men of tomorrow will meet the challenge of the times will depend upon the training that they receive today in character development, participating citizenship and peronal fitness.” Because I believe so strongly in this program I felt there was nothing I could do during a day in Washington that would be more important than to lend my presence to a gathering for the purpose of expressing the thanks of the people of an area of Virginia to the dedicated men and women who have given their time as vounteer scout leaders. They are weaving their unselfish devotion into the stuff of other men’s lives and Are building from the youth of our generation the only effective bulwark we can have against future aggressions which may threaten our democratic way of life.
