TWELVE YEARS. OF In ‘a-recent issue of the Survey, Chiet. Stout Executive West writes of his.twelye years'-experience as a lead- er of boys. Among other things, he mentioned the'fact’ that what Seems most remarkable :in scouting Is the re- sponsiveness of* the’ boys: ‘themselves, their power and‘willingness to assume: responsibility ‘ and- to:live up. to the . obligations of: the &cout oath and law, “When we':sald‘;that 'a first-class scout must'knew what to do in"case of fire,” he:writes; “probably none of us remotely “imagined: that. during ‘one year 5,778 scouts would qualify in fire- manship ; -that. in_fifty-or- more-cities scout’ troops would be regularly;:au- thorized eides to: the local fire depart- ments; that in_one.state aloné—Penn- sylvania—scouts: would: :be +clted - for having in less than a year saved-from destruction by fire pyer a-million dol lars’ worth-of-valuablé--timber.. .Nor could wé in ‘any: way have-visualized the largenumber instances ‘where ‘Bcouts or groups' of scouts have: risen. veluntarily to meet| the emergency of thié-hour in -fighting fire, reseulngpersons:from~burning buildings, rendering-first aid ‘to per- sons oyercoma by finjes of smoke, be- sides their signal ‘services in helping prevent ‘fire ‘by--conducting -city clean- ups, distributing fire-prevention litera- ture and. reporting fire hazards and violations of fire laws. “] want®particilarly to*stress that word co‘operative; for, contrary to the ideas of those who do not fully com- prehend scouting and its motiveg, the movement is dedicated to co-operation with all other forces working for pub- lic betterment. It has no wish to'su. persedle the work of church, or school, or home, or of any .soclal service agency,~ It merely places its splendid boy program,. its organized . .and trained power for service/its large and enthuslastic actlve membership, at the disposal of the community «and the natlon, to help wherever help is"need- ed_or desired. - . ; +:40-inch: ryow Crepe doA Chines and i Georgettes assortéd:colors 36-inch -~ Satins Messalines all colors;: PER YARD Sizes 36 to 52 2 for .
