One of the scheduled events on that In Key West and thousands of other churches of every denomination Boy Scouts will be among those attending Divine services. It must;be remembered that more than half Boy Scout Troops and Serior Scout Groups are sponsored by churches and synagogues of the United States. At these Sunday services special em- | | phasis is to be laid on the twelfth point of | Scout Law. It reads as follows: “A Scout is Reverent. He is reverent toward God. He is faithful to his reli- | gious duties, and respects the convictions of others in matters of custom and religion.” If a boy lived up to that precept he would be a real Christian and an American gentleman. A boy would realize that he has a right to his own belief and convic- tions, and that all other boys have similar Under the American system, the democratic system of constitutional gov- | ernment, all boys are created equal. They are fro. to worship God as they wish. There is no special American God, as there ‘is a special Nazi God or a godless worship of an all-powerful fanatic, as .in Russia. | American boys are taught to worship God —the God of their fathers. Boy Scouts have other precepts that are important in fitting boys for member- ship in human society. They must re- spect all the rights of others, to be decent and upright in their dealings with others, to be constructive rather than destructive, to be helpful, kind and good. Much of the mischief, nearly all of ‘© Brown and Bigelow (AINTAINING that no boy can become the best kind of citizen without recognizing his obligation to God, the Boy Scouts of America, in this new Norman Rockwell painting, symbolizes the spirit and meaning of its Twelfth Scout Law: “‘A Scout is reverent. He is reverent toward God. He. is faithful in his religious duties and respects the convictions of others in matters of custom and religion.” KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just Five.

Sweden does not want war under any imstance; it is there the Nobel peace prize is awarded. Don’t criticize a writer’s lack of orig- inality too harshly. Second-hand sense is better than original nonsense. Once there was a merchant who did not believe in advertising, and he lived in Key West. Now you go on with the story. Key West’s climate is unequalled and that is what the tourist is seeking. Unless you let folks know, they will seek it else- where. The Birmingham Post says elephants lo not mind an ocean voyage if they are kept slightly inebriated. A lot of humans like to travel that, way,’ too. Saluting the American Flag is not a rclivious ceremony‘but only a form of re- pect what it stands—Americanism, the | only “ism” to which we, the people of Am- erica, subscribe. Referring to former Governor Scholtz’s desire to be a United States senator, Friday Night, a Miami tabloid, says: “His was the work that brought the Overseas Highway into being an actuality.” Oh, my gosh! Doctors during the Civil War were | not such good guessers. ° Every once in a} whiie we read of applicants for military | service having been refused as “physically | unfit”, reaching old age in splendid health. | Recently, George W. Nisley, of Columbia, | Pa., celebrated his 99th birthday. President Roosevelt said this week | that he is getting weary of third term talk —se is the public, who even his good iriends admit, has a right to know con- cerning his intentions, and the public also has a right to think that he is withholding | the information for his own personal ag- g-ana.zement. The people gave Mr. Roose- velt their greatest gift of which they are capable and common courtesy requires he satisfy their interest now. It is good sportsmanship on his part to let the cat out of the bag. j | newed diplomatic relations the destruction of public and private prop- erty in Key West can be traced to boys— or men who have never lost their boyhood traits in the refining mill of ‘co-operative community life. Flowers are destroyed, young trees are uprooted, . recreational facilities for tourists and servicemen are ruined or stolen—largely by boys. The Citizen doubts if a Boy Scout | would destroy, uproot, ruin or steal any- thing. They are taught the difference be- tween right and wrong, between good and bad, if they haven’t absorbed those facts in their homes. The Boy Scout movement is Americanism at its best. It must always be supported, encouraged, fostered. Our citizens should participate to the limit of their resources in the Boy Scout program this week. THUMBS DOWN ON RUSSIA Congressman Dies and his committee have completely exposed the schemes of the Russians to build up Communism in our country. That is the reason why the House of Representatives will continue this Com- mittee. Recent personal attacks upon Mr. Dies have not hurt him ir the least, inas- much as the House cf Representatives has full confidence in his honesty and ability. The conviction of Earl Browder meets with full approval in the official circles of Washington. Browder never has -well in the Capital. The attacks of Mr. Dewey, New York Republican candidate for the Presidency upon President Roosevelt for having re- with Russia have no Washington challengers. Many persons think that even President Roose- velt may be sorry by this time that he re- sumed diplomatic relations with the Soviet Government. Anyhow, everything that can possibly | be done to show sympathy and support to Finland meets with unanimous approval in Washington, UNSATISFACTORY LABOR LAWS Everyone has known all along that the National Labor Relations Act and the Wage-Hour Law have not given satisfac- tory results to either workmen or their em- plpyers. Notwithstanding this fact every attempt to amend either law has. been held | up by power of National Administration. The blame is now placed on alleged | ; ae } = . | | fauity administrators and clumsy methods |yesterday and only eight chil-; Charles H. Dennis, editor em- of procedure. It is said that an effort is being made to postpone amendments to the laws in question, until five new adminis- trators can be named and given an oppor- tunity to see whether they can make im- provements on the present labor law ma- chine. This latest scheme may serve to postpone the matter until after another election. |Keys were discussed at the meet- | ing of the Board of County Com- missioners last night.
