j cess in business seem dis
honorable. Wordy wars
against “coupon clippers”
frightened investors, large
and small, and choked the
flow of capital into busi

It is not possible in any
country to provide abun
dant lives for the masses
• by raiding the rich, but the
idea was hatched and
spread around in America.
Armies of idle people were
trained to rely on govern
ment instead of on them
selves. Even in schools
supported by the state,
boys and girls learned to
question the value of indi
vidual opportunity, a car
dinal liberty.
I Government Control
War came, and it was
two years old before vic

certain. Government right

ufacturing plants, and pres

ca’s bread winners were in
• war work drawing the
highest pay they had ever
heard of; Uncle Sam going
in debt 150 million dollars
a day. Things to buy be
came scarce, and loose
money rattled in every
pocket.

SCOUTS FISH. SWIM. EAT
AND SWAT MOSQUITOES
It’s a toss-up whether the Boy
Scouts of Troop 666, encamped at
Dexter, spend more of their time
at fishing, swimming, eating, or
swatting mosquitoes. One thing
is certain, however, and that is
that more time is spent on any
Quite naturally people
gave government the cred
it when, after four years of
government management
they had more money than
they could spend. Actual
ly the facts are not related.

things to buy.
of these foregoing activities than
on sleeping. But, up till now, no
one seems to be any the worse
for wear except the cook or the
leaders.
A little time is spent on pass
ing tests which permit advance
ment from one rank to another.
As proof of this statement it may
be cited that Elmer Bonovsky
and Herbert Kagoona have passed
! all of their tenderfoot tests. Some
of the fellows seem to like hiking
because they have passed their
fourteen-mile hike test, and were
still so full of energy that they
played baseball after returning
to camp.
If any visitors had come around
Friday night they would have
seen an unusual sight: four pairs
of boys’ pants flying from the
flag pole—where real flags or
dinarily fly.

Anyone seeing Curtis Jacobs,
Jr., might be surprised at the ans
wer he gives, when asked why
he was so long returning to camp
: from Sunday afternoon swim.
