Boy Seoats Stress God In Program “The Boy Scouts of America maintain that no boy can Stow into the best kind of citizenship without recognizing his obligation | to God.” The Boy Scout Movement stress- jes the importance of the Scout's | religious training and recognizes that this training is the responsi- bility of the Church and the home. “The Protestant Committee on Scouting, in cooperation with the major Protestant denominations, has developed this Church-center- ed program fof Boy Scouts. affi- liated with Protestant Churches and makes available the God and Country Award to Boy Scouts who have fulfilled specific standards involving their active participa- tion in the total program of their respective church. Any Boy Scout, may with the approval of his pas- tor or Scoutmaster, participate in |this program whether his Troop is connected with his own Church | or some other institution. Each | Scout carries on his Scout Pro-j| gram in his Troop, and he car-/| ries on the religious program in| his own Church under the direc- tion of his Pastor. The God and Country Award may be presented to a Scout under 21 years of age of First Class Rank (or higher), or with a tenure of one year in Senior Scouting who has fulfilled the min- imum standards outlined in the Service Record. In keeping with the twelfth part of the 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.” The protestant Church Leaders have set up the requirements for the God and Country Award. For this award a Scout must must follow these steps; (1) se- cure a Service Record Book from | his Scoutmaster; (2) enroll in the program with his minister; (33) | fulfill requirements as directed 'by his minister; (4) examination } by his Church Board and Minister; }(5) interview with the Church | Awards Committee in this Dis- | trict; (6) after approval of the National Protestant Committee on Scouting, the award will be pre- sented to the Scout at a worship service in his own Church.

Res father nodded shortly William Neubaver as she walked into the office | F across the hall from the kitchen, It was obvious that he’d been wrestling with his nomination ac- ceptance speech, and it was ob- vious that he’d lost the match. “The trouble is,” he grumbled, “that I know what I want to say, but can’t say it.” “Too bad.” There was no sympathy in her voice, no interest im her snapping brown eyes. He growled low in his throat. “That's a fine, helpful attitude. I like my children. They always come to the help of the old man when he’s in a jam” “Just say you'll run. Or, better still, say you'll not run.” This was 4 switch. Earlier in the year Ruth had been the one who'd urged him to seek the of- fice. Annoyed with Mayor Lu- chetti, she'd come storming into the living-room one evening to declare: “You're running for mayor, Dad!” He'd tried to laugh it off. But she’é worked. She'd gotten hold of some of the Civic Betterment people and convinced them the time had come for a new mayor to be elected. And pres- ently his name had come to the fore. Then last night he’a been named. Because of her, actually! I And ‘now there she was changing her mind at.this late date! Words failed him. He got up from his desk and rushed to the service porch door. “I'm packing my duds and leaving. Ellen and I are taking a trip. You run the ho- tel. You run for mayor if you want | to. I've had enough.” Light, casual, airy, the contralto voice asked: “And do you think} I care where you go or what you do?” % It was effective. He came bok to his chair.

In Monroe County we have three Justices of the Peace and three Constables, at $300.00 each. The total cost to the Tax Payers will be $21,600 per year. That a- mounts to more than one mil ad-; ditional taxes for the taxpayers. Now, what I want to know is this! Why doesn’t some active, energetic organization like the Junior Chamber of Commerce or some other civic organization ask the legislature to pass a bill at this session of the legislature calling for a referendum on the ballot at the next election to a-} bolish these offices. Other pro- gressive counties in Florida have abolished them, and are much better off. The Sheriff is the} chief law enforcement officer of the county and the constables are absolutely unnecessary. These offices aren't needed and that By FRANK BRUTTO ROME # — Jesus Christ was more than 6 feet, long-limbed and finely muscled. | This is the conclusion of Roman sculptor-artist Lorenzo Ferri after 21 years of study of the Sancta! Sindone, the shroud believed by | many scholars to be the white linen cloth Joseph of Arimathea wrapped around Jesus’ body after it was taken down from the cross. | Ferri is convinced that the shroud—preserved in a cathedral at Turin and long the property of the former royal house of Italy— is the. cloth of which both St. Luke and St. John wrote, St. Luke, describing Jesus’ pas- sion and death, wrote that a man named Joseph went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. “And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen and laid it in a sepurcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.” (Luke Chap. 23, V. 53) Like Veronica’s veil, with which the holy woman wiped the sweat- ing bleeding face of Jesus as he labored under the cross on the way to Calvary, the shroud bears an imprint. The imprint is of an en- tire body, both front and back. Its history has been well known for ages. In the past it was the center of frequent and sometimes hot debate over its authenticity, It rersained for the discovery of modern photography to bring about new intensive study of the shroud, The first international study group of the Sancta Sindone was money could be saved.

When the shroud was exhibited publicly in 1898 a photograph of it was permitted. There was a sen- sation when it was discovered that the photographic negative held a positive image. This proy- ed that the image on the shroud, in effect, itself was’a negative. Ferri, in his stwihes; uses life. sized copies of ‘the most reeent photographs of the shroud made in 1933. Meticulous study of these photo- graphs finally led to Ferri’s belief Jesus Christ was considerably tall- er than first thought from prelim- inary examinations of the shroud. These had conceived of the figure as having been straight and flat on the cloth. Ferri noted that its folded hands came to a point on the thighs they could not normally reach if the figure were erect or lying flat. From this he deduced that Jesus’ body was curved slightly in the shape of the letter “5.” Then, using :iving models and placing them on a sheet that re- produced the measurements of the shroud, he arrived at his computa tion of Christ's height. This, he discovered could not be less than 6 feet 1 mor more than 6 feet 2.
