Scouting Is a
Lifetime Challenge
By a Noma Cltisen
Having lived with Scouting
from Bobcat Cub through Silver
Palm Eagle, I feel justified in
recommending this way of life for
the boys of today. A great many
at the current problems can be
traced back to the inability of
the average man to stand on his
own two feet and take care of
himself and self development, haB
enabled those to its earnest ap
peal, to become better equipped
to master life’s complex problems.
The most important job a par
ent has in today’s atmosphere of
conflicting interests, is to create
an ideal of self assurance and in
dependence in their children. The
better equipped a child is to fend
for himself, the better he will
be to face the many problems
presented to young people and
adults today.
Tying a square knot or apply
ing a speedy tournequej may not
be ever required in the atomic
and automatic age, but the char
acter these techniques produce
and the thorough applications of
sound principles that must be
mastered can’t help but turn out
a better boy, happy in the know
ledge he can take care of himself,
and others in need. Good citizen
ship can only come from chil
dren grounded in the Ideals of
fair play, honesty, and respect
for the rights of others. The laws
and rules binding Cubs and Scouts
together can help your boy to be
a better man. Give your dollars
and your boy to the Scouts. It
will be a double-barreled invest
ment.
SHOOTING CLUB
MEETING POSTPONED
Due to the death of Shooting
Club president Art Johnson and
to the continued difficulty in ob
taining use of the old National
Guard range bulding, die Thurs
day scheduled meeting will be
postponed till the first Thursday
of the New Year.
An urgent need for a shooting
facility is recognised by the club
directors. Every effort will be
made to obtain the right to use
the old Guard gallery. The range
building, no longer in the control
of the National Guard, is being
sold toy the General Services Ad
ministration, a federal agency.
PORTER LOCKARD
TO TAKE VACATION
Porter Lockard, bush pilot for
Wiens, has gone to Fairbanks to
bring back a Cessna 180 which
will replace the plane that was
wrecked last week. Pilot Lock
ard is leaving soon on an extend
ed vacation which will take him
through Europe, South America
and other places which interest
him. South America will not be
new to him as he had been flying
in that country before coming
to Alaska.
Mr. and Mrs. Bert LaRue of
Bethel are in town to attend the
funeral of their friend Art John
son. Mr. LaRue, a long time Al
askan, is in the contracting busi
ness.
