When the com- I munity chest makes its appeal, meet |it as you do the request for a raise on the part of a tried and frusted | | employer who has delivered the | goods. | “Scouting is big business. Do you | know that in 1926 more than $6,- (00,000 was contributed in cam- paigns for scouting? This reveals a story of public belief in the scout- | ing program and its contribution to | our boy life. | scen scouting produce the goods and |the support will grow rather than diminish. The scout program has a | valuable contribution to make in de- { veloping a whole life, if I may use {that phrasing rather than ‘develop- ing the hoy." | “Dr. Edwin Starbuck of Towa uni- versity said once; realize more and more that the real | stuft out of which a human being s made centers in what he has doue, is now doing and is about to do." You men who have built up a busi- ness organization which has a fine | reputation take nafural pride in | your handiwork. We have scen men d and look lovingly at a ma- chine which is of their creation. It represents a purposeful accomplish- {ment, a product of brain. “We are seriously concerned what lour boys of 12 are doing. We | know that we can account for them 50 many hours cach day in school, 50 many at home, 80 many at play, | £0 many at church or Sunday school | during the week, ofe. We recognize that all have their share in motivat- | ing the life of the bhoy. ‘This mo- tivation is fo turn out a real per- sonality with good Instincts and de- sires, purposeful, clear thinking, [and with all that goes to make life | attractive and of serviee, | Parents Delegate Influence | nts re more and more re.

And this is to be expected where the average American dad is 80 pressed and harassed with his many dutics Inot only those connected with busi- | ness. but social and fraternal obli- | gations. He has neither the time nor the patience to be a real father. Mother's influence is good up to & certain period when a man is needed. “The schools upon which millions | of dollars are expended yearly, can- not command the whole interest of | the hoy. Take in our own case for | |example, how many times when in class sesion’ while we were recit- ing, 8x9 equals 72 our thoughts were far away. We were thinking enly of how many more minutes before we could get out of the old school |and get down with the gang to play |a game of ball or go swimming. “It is our restless muscles crav- ling action. However, schools have improved vastly now making provi- sion for physical and vocational lines of action, which is going to malke a hoy think with pleasure in {later lite of his school years. But it |is & fact that our school does not |command the whole interest of the boy & church is improving in mak- |ing its contact on the life of the boy. ‘That contact can be improved |when the real leaders in every com- munity will be more willing to be- come active ‘ clements in the| churches of thelr faith. The more | such men there are, the larger the number of hoys who will be attract- led and led into cventual church membership. The church of-today has a real challenge to the boys of today, and that challenge must be |interpreted by a real he man, if it is to meet with response on the part of our boys, and men also. And I can say from actual observation, that the spiritual challenge finds a readier response on the part of boys |who have been or are scouts and through the scouting program have {1rarned to feel the presence of a di- vine power manifested in nature. “And now a word as to scouting’s |share in developing the whole life of the hoy. There is not a dad who | [has not heard his boy of 8, 9, 10 and | |11 may ‘Gee, dad, T wish T was old {enoligh to be & =cout.” And many a | wother uses this longing and desire, lin her guidance and discipline Mtht-; lad. And when he gefs into scout- ing and he puts on that uniform, and he takes the oath and law, and |receives his tenderfoot badge, you hardly recognize him. He seems to | have changed so. There is another personality there. A personality And his dally & kick he gets rt doing that. And pretty soon ft is c he is doing his little ess without a second And so four or five years' scouting is making its contri- bution in developing the whole life of the boy in cooperation with the church, the home and the school. After Effect of Scouting “And what was said of the need of real men in the church is true in scouting. Scouting will carry over into life and help make for a whole life only as our scout leaders can carry on the boy's interest so that he acquires knowledge and insight in the world in which he lives. This man contact is a vital necessity, and we as a council must have your help in securing that type of leadership so that our scouts in greater num- bers become an active forc for good in our business and civic struc- ture. “Scouting is doing its job well. It has an efficient organization, a very small budget demand, because it has no large building to maintain, but functions through a small office and with a smal paid staff. Its volun- teer leadership is improving in qual- ity. It has a boys' program which is attractive to practically every boy. However, there are some men who, despite this soundness and at tractiveness of scouting,! have re- mained doubting Thomases. If there are any such here may T quote Dr. Hart of the national council staff who said: ‘The man who is not up on a thing is likdly to be down on it,’ and then has very nicely said: ‘When in doubt—be generous.” That attitude we have a right to expect of every business and professional man in the country, hecause scouting has sold itself to our country in the brief space of 18 years through its record of accomplishment.” President A.

Connor, jr., of New Haven, recefPer of the holdings of George Ratner, bank- rupt. The property has been trans-’ ferred and quit-claimed by Ratner in a final settlement of his bank- rupt estate. It is valued at between $250,000 and. $300,000. Mr, Connor now has the property and it is his purpgse to make it pay, he satd said. The property is listed as consist- ing of the Rialto building at 20 to 36 Broad street and 197-201 Wash- ington street and the large resi- dence on Washington street which {includes the numbers 187 to 189, A quarter of a million of dollars is given as the estimate of the Broad street property’s worth while the smaller plece is valued at $25,000.
