AX Russell, president, Village of Glencoei "There can be no more. worthy miovement than that whichi engages thc intercst ofour boys dur- ing, their formative yéars in .the dlean and hcalthful activities of: the Boy Scouts of America. No mfatter what his former station, his' associations better fit him jor the important duty of citizen-ship which he must some day unidertake." Hari6ldOý. Mohr, commander,- Wil- mette- Pot 46, American Legion: "This camp and Maintenan~ce Fund campaign of the North Shore Area -council of thc Boy Scouts of America 9 is an' opportunity for every red- blooded -American citizen to 'do his bit for the United States of the fu- ture. - Thé, Scout training teaches *boys thet essential virtues, how to work and play together, nature's les- sons and mnakes thcmn strong in mind *and body."' Arthur B. Roweli, superintendent Glemico Public schools: "I know from miany years' observation that Scouting help's boys to become hon- est, self-reliant, and courageous. lis. teaching is niost effective in summer camps, where boys can 'have the ad- venture whidh they need and devclop manliness, ini a natural enivirolrneiit." Rev. Harold C. Case, pastor, North Shore, Metiodist Episcopal church: 'Tewords, 'Boy Scout' have corne to symbolize the best type of. Ameni- can, boylxod.ý This is not an accident.ý Aý movement challenging enough to enlist the interest of leading men of this country, and important enough to have, boys everywhcere striving for greater and finer self* expression tive Mvyron C. IRybolt exempliiiv- ing the truc spirit of the "Scout Good Turn." "Dear Sir: "Last Sunday morning when 1 was mired with my car ini a bog, Ïn ' the, Glen View forest -preserve, Scout-of Troop - of Wil-ý mette' came to my rescue. After working ,for one* half hour, with a tow line. and shovel, we were Ûnable to move My. car. Scout thén drove out. of his way to the Glen View Chicago Motor club station and had the service truck corne out to. help me. "ýTruc to the ins*tinct of a Scout, he. would accept nothing for. his service. I would flot feel hîappy, to allow, this pleasant incident' to pass wýithout expressing my ap- preciatiol." Very truly yours, (Name Withheld) the boys who have been privileged to take' part in the Scout prog ram. If my .convictions were based on a few scattered cases, they would be worth- less, but when over a period of twenty years, and am - ong a group of boysî whose number runs into the thou- sands, 1 find that the outstanding students have been largely Scouts and ex-Scouts, and when, I realize also that many of these have been 50 inipressed with their own progress that they have returned to the work in later years as Scoutmasters and executives, I have no doubt whatever of the great worthi and necessity of the Boy 'Scout Piovemnent." S. R. Logan,' assistant sup.rintend- eut off achools, Winnetka: "In my opinion the Scout movement lias great promis e; first, as a - mutual benefit through association in socially, purposeful' activities to. both 'the youniger and the older elemenits of the« population; second, as. a stimulation to avocational activities and whole- some use of leisure; third, as a means of practice i varied community op- portunities 'and responsibilities."

Our North Shore Area organization is extremeiy necessary if we are to. maintain a high standard ofservice to assist the boy i'n Scouting." W. L. Bripwii, acting .uperintend- ont, New Trier High schoc>b. "In the many contacts 1 bave had with Boy Scout -work here 'on the north s hore, I have always been favorably impressed with thie quality of work being donc, with the intéest that it was vcry, evident the boyshdi thework, and with thé carful super- vision that. wascxerciscd over these boys' troops by-mature men. Tp nme the Boy Scout work seems vcry valu- able for the growing boy, because its prozram of enmnetitiv eédcuation is 9tarted by B. S. A. The Boy Scouts of America just last year started on altogether new programs, for boys',9, 10 and Il years old, known as Cubbing. This 1pro- gramn was the resuit of' years of re- search of. activities and, training for boys of this ýage. *The boys have en- tirely'different uniforms and. badges and are organized on a different basis thanl:Scouting. 'The boys are knowà as Cubs, their groups as packs. *The' llrst pack, to be organized in the. North Shore Area counicil- was in Kenilworth school under, Robert Townley; the second- was in the North' Shore: Methodist. church, in Glencoe under the Rev. Harold Case.
