ABUSE OF CONFESSIONAL IS CHARGED TO PRIEST Fined 500 Marks for Dissuading Woman From Sending Son to Nazi Camp. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, August 22.—Father Horoba, a war veteran with medals, was fined 500 marks at Gleiwitz yesterday for *“abuse of the confessional chair.” The state attorney, acting upon in- structions from Franz Guertner, said Father Horoba dissuaded a woman from sending her son into Nazi labor service and “the action was held a *clear case of political Catholicism.” The priest insisted he is a supporter of the regime and that he was guided in his advice to the woman by a wish to see that the son's religious training was not neglected. The state held that “the belief of the Catholic mother in government labor measures must have been rudely #haken.” She reported the confessional inci- dent to her husband, who denounced Father Horoba, Magis- | President Roosevelt, surrounded by Boy Scouts, as he delivered & | Nation-wide greeting to them from | BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. RESIDENT ROOSEVELT last night told young Americans | the success of the Constitution is dependent on the atti- nd and the degree of the | spirit of unselfish co-operation that can be developed in individuals. The Chief Executive spoke for about six minutes by radio from the White House to Boy Scouts assembled iin encampments all over the country. The talk was a substitute for the one he would have delivered had the jamboree planned for this week not been canceled because of the threat of infantile paralysis. The President made it plain he wants the spirit of the American | Constitution to serve as an inspiration | for their future citizenship. He re- ‘ren'td several times to the Constitu- | tion, even to the extent of quoting a portion of the preamble. His remarks may be interpreted by some as a partial answer to some of his critics. Urges Preparation. The President, who is honorary president of the Scouts, urged his | youthful listeners to be prepared for | the service they will be called upon to perform in the future in their re- spective communities. In this con- nection he declared that the individual who always says “I can't” or “I won't,” and the individual who by inaction or opposition slows up honest, practical, far-seeing community effort is the “fellow who is holding back civili- zation and holding back the objectives of the Constitution of the United States.” | In the opinion of the President the boy, even before voting age, actually Store Hours, 9 to 6 Saturday, 9 to 2 You Are Missing the Big If you don’t attend these Annual Clearance.

The text of the President's address follows: For more than a year I have been looking forward to taking part in a great National Scout Jamboree to be held in Washington. The best laid plans sometimes go awry. A splendid program and a wonder- ful camp had been prepared for the reception of 30,000 Boy Scouts and Scouters in the National Capi- tal. You were coming here from every point of the compass and, in addition ‘to the American Scouts, our brother Scouts from 27 other nations had accepted invitations to send delegations. But, alas, a rather serious epi- demic of infantile paralysis arose in the vicinity of Washington and, on August 8, thé United States Public Hcalth Service and the health officers of the District and the nearby States concluded that to hold the jamboree would be a hazard. With great reluctance, therefore, we had to call it off. But for this unfortunate hap- pening I would have reviewed this day the thousands of Scouts lined up the length of Constitution ave- nue, and later we would all have had a party on the White House lawn. want you, in your own home towns, to know how sorry I am that I cannot be with you myself. I am in spirit with each and every one of your gatherings tonight. Nation Bound Together. You boys, old and young, in every part of this broad land— present Scouts and former Scouts— your numbers running into the millions—constitute a very real part of our American citizenship. We are bound together in a de- mocracy operating under a Consti- tution whose purpose was and is “to form a more perfect union, establish - justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the com- mon defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The success of that Constitution is dependent on the attitude of mind and the degree of the spirit of unselfish co-operation that can be developed in individuals. Scout- ing is escentially and clearly a program for the development of that unselfish, co-operative atti- tude of mind. Scouting revolves around, not the theory of service to others, but the habit of service to others. Scouting makes the in- dividual boy conscious of his obli- gation to his patrol, to his troop, to his community, to his State and to his Nation. Even before you become of voting age you actually have a part in civic affairs and you bear responsi- bilities in your home communities.

D. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 19 of the many contributions that individual Scouts and Scout or- ganizations have made to the re- lief of suffering, to the mainte- nance of good order and good health, and to the furtherance of good citizenship and good govern- ment. You who are active Scouts are, in addition, learning many useful things—knowledge which will stay with you all your lives. You are having opportunities to fall in love with and understand the great outdoors. Do not ever fall out with Nature and her wide-open breath- ing spaces. Love them. They will sustain and strengthen you in later years when confining circumstances of life may tend to narrow the spirit of soul that is within you. Keep Euthusiasm, Energy. 1 do not have to tell you to throw yourselves, with all the enthusiasm and energy that you have, into your Scout work, into the programs of your patrols and troops and councils. But I do want to express to you the very deep hope that when you grow older and get out into the stream of life you will retain that same enthusiasm and energy and that you will apply it through every day and every year ot your lives. The Scout motto, “Be prepared,” applies just as much to the wider service which is your opportunity when your full civie responsibilities are attained. Just as you are individually a necessary part of your patrol or your troop today, so will you be- come necessary parts of the citi- zenship of your communities. I do not have to remind you that one individual who lags behind slows up the whole troop. In the Navy we have an old saying—that the speed of the fleet is no greater than the speed of the slowest ship. When you go out into life you will come to understand that the indi- vidual in your community always says “I can't” or “I won" —the individual who by inaction or opposition slows up honest, practical, far-seeing community effort, is the fellow who is helding back civilization and holding back tne objectives of the Constitution of the United States. We need more Scouts—the more the better—for the record shows that, taking it by and large, boys trained as Scouts make good citizens. I hope a jamboree, in place of the one we missed this year, will be planned for some time in the future. In the meantime, I send you my warm greetings, personally, and as the honorary president of the Boy Sccuts of America. Good luck to you and carry on! | | | | Want to Keep Subsidy.
