Box 1391, Juneau. The rules are
rather strict, and the prospector’s

closely as possible. It is not in

prospected, nor on prospects he
has already held, nor on well-de
veloped prospects, unless he can
give a satisfactory reason for
doing so. He may not do assess
ment work under the program. He
will be required to write a daily
diary-type of report which he
must turn in to the TDM at the

“Stock brokers are following
with keen interest the progress of
Tall Timbers, Inc., of Texas. The
company is reported to be buying
fantastically large numbers of
well logs. Informed sources say
these- will be cut into planks to
be used in shoring up the Texas
ego which has sagged so badly
since Alaska was accepted as the
49th and largest state.”

49th Milestone In Scouting
THE FOURTH POINT of the Boy Scout Law reads:
“A Scout is Friendly.’ He is a friend.to all and a
brother to every other Scout.”
Now, as the Boy Scouts of America celebrate their
49th Anniversary during Boy Scout Week, February
7 to 13, let us see how this friendliness is fostered.
Friendships form readily in the Cub Scout Pack,
Boy Scout Troop and Explorer Unit, as their programs
promote democratic ways of living together.
The weekly neighborhood Den meeting of the Cub
Scouts, which is formed of youngsters 8, 9 and 10 years
of age, are full of fun, as they take on themes of Amer
ican history, geography, natural science, and safety.
At monthly Pack meetings, where they put on inter
esting demonstrations and program features, the Cub
Scouts meet and come to know the parents of members
of the other neighboring dens.
The Boy Scouts, groups of boys 11 and older, make
friends as they form patrols in the Troop, elect their
own boy leaders, and plan their programs. These
friendships are strengthened as they camp and hike
together.
The new Exploring program, for high school age
young men, provides a series of social experiences that
helps Explorers increase their skill in working and
living with others.
America’s Scouts make friends with those of other
lands at the World Scout Jamboree, usually held every
four years. Several hundred American lads will camp
together with about 12,000 others from all parts of the
world, at the Tenth World Jamboree in the Philippines
next July 17 to 26.
Through the World Friendship fund of voluntary
contributions, since 1944, Boy Scouts of America have
helped less fortunate brother Scouts of other lands.
We congratulate the Boy Scouts on their -49th
milestone.
