NEW PATTERNS FOR AMERICA?
A soldier writes: “What do they mean,
fussing around about what kind of an
America we servicemen want when we
get home? Do they value America as
something that can be changed with the
seasons, the same as wofnen’s hats and
clothes?
“We can’t escape the notion here that
some people back home are trying to I
fashion new patterns for America—run
ning around with tape-measures, shears,
cr , '.u things, and quarreling among
1 - e’i=elves as to what style of a tailor
made country will please us after the
war.
“You tell these self-appointed design
ers to let Uncle Sam alone. When we get
back, we .want to see his swallow-tail
coat still there, and his boot-straps, tall
hat and everything else that’s familiar.
His way of dressing has been all right
for a ong time. It’s what we’re fighting
• 1p *eep all right for a long time to come,
leave him be. Just have him there to
say ‘Hello’ when we return—dressed the
way we know him.
“It’s swell that our first few months in
mwies are getting some forethought in
stead of the hindthought—or no thought
—of the last time.
“When that period is over all that we
want is to be free to work at what we
can do best—with an employer who is
free to expand—all of us managed by
someone who knows how to weld us into
a going business to the end that our work
and risk, in a fair, open market, will
bring reasonable returns that we’ll be
free to use for building family and coun
try intpa still more wondrous future.”
Doesnst it make sense?—(Juneau Em
pire).
A GOLDEN RULE TODAY?
Rules for preservation in time of war:
Use (It) to its fullest extent;
Wear (It) till it’s threadbare;
Make (It) do its full intent;
Or, do without your share!
ALL MUST COOPERATE!
Perhaps you are one of many who have
more money today.
And perhaps you have strong desires
to spend it on things you’ve always
wanted, and couldn’t because of pinched
circumstances heretofore.
Well, yesterday, all the money you had
vou could spend as you wished. But,
today, there is much less to buy, much
more money in the hands of the public.
In order to curb price-jv-mping, all
must cooperate to the fullest, because
we can’t spend today as we would like.
If everybody would make a mad
^ramble for the present supplies which
ar eextremely low, high prices, black
markets, etc., would be the order of the
day.
So we may as well say the money we
have today is really net all ours to do
with as we choose. But we must, in order
to assist in the main problems today, buy
War Bonds; give to the Red Cross; buy
insurance; put in a saving bank; but don’t
spend it!
That is the only way we can pay for
+his war.
COMMUNICATIONS
(Editor's note—With the Boy
Scouts movement again taking
form jn Nome, the following arti
cle, written by one well-yersed in
Scouting, appears timely for the
benefit of our readers.)
* f (
, SCOUTING—A WAY OF
LIVING!
If we are going to guide* the
boy, we must know to what goals
we want to guide him
Someono has asked: “How4 much
can the boy be changed?” Who
would want to change him—the
tousled-headed, noisy, fun-loving,:
vigorous follower of out foot-'
steps? Would we, if we could,
have him quiet, subdued. ser.ouS9
Never! How much can he grow?
That is different.
Scouting’s aim for boys’ growth
and boys’ development has been
repeatedly stated as character
building and citizenship training.’
Let us get these aims clearly in
mind for there are still plenty of
us who, while we seem to accept
them, conduct Scouting as if the
actual objectives were the teach
ing of subject matter, the award
ing of badges, the making of
Eagle Scouts, the development of
well-drilled troop organization*
The perfection of craftwork—ex
perts We must continually re
mind ourselves that such things
are only tools, only MEANS TO
THE END of helping the develop
ment of character.
Our job is to get the boy to
build HABITS; to practice those
traits so nobly set forth in the
Scout Laws that they will become
traits of his conduct as a boy and
so form his character as a man.
We must get him to have the
right attitudes inside himself to
w&Tri helpfulness, courtesy and
others—attitudes favorable to
wards those things which society
has found right and attitudes un
favorable towards those things
society has Hound wrong
.
The only way we can help him
to develop' this conduct, these at
titudes, iS by ACTUAL PRAC
TICE IN LIFE’S SITUATIONS
By giving him opportunity for
vigorous social living under wise
guidance. Let us not think of
1 Scouting as a program of activities
biC las a way of living.
Let us-always remember that
while the Scout may see the bad
ges. the awards, the camping and
hiking as his objectives, OUR OB
JECTIVES must always be the
FULFILLMENT of the Scout
