Soldiers Visit , Home Tdwn Malheur County Boys in Service Vis it Home Folks on Furloughs Good Words For Companions Vale was visited by three soldiers this week, two of whom, Lieut, John O. Vines and Corporal Walter J. Tay lor, were formerly residents of this city, and the other, Lieut. Neil Mor fitt, being a Malheur county boy who lived at Malheur City prior to his en listment over a year ago. Likes Aviation Service Lieut. John O. Vines, of American Lake, is here visiting friends lind rel atives, and will leave soon for Aus tin, Texas, where he will enter the aviation service, having transferred to that branch at Camp Lewis.' Mr. Vines will still retain his commission in this servce. "You can see lots of Malheur county boys at Camp Lews," stated Mr. Vines," and the otfier two officers from this city, Lieut. Wheeler and Capt. Duncan, arc also very busy men these days. I thought the air plane work would be more intcrest fng and suitable to me, which was my reason for transferring. Neil Morfitt Visits ' Lieut. Neil Morfitt is a real air plane pilot. He has actually con rtolled one of the big government ma chines by himself, and draws'a hand some salary from Uncle Sam for his work in that line. Mr. Morfitt was lucky in being given the actual pilot ing of a machine in his first year, and more than onco while in Vale was ho compelled to describe his. experiences while in the air. He comes from Aus tin, Texas, where Lieut Vines is to report. At present he is visiting rel atives in Malheur City. Fort Ward Boys Make Good Corporal Walter J.

CAMPAIGN FOR BOY SCOUTS Program in High School Saturday Evening War Work Demands Expansion of Organization Tho Boy Scouts of America has a present membership of 295.71G boys properly registered in J3.784 troups, with 78,873 men council members and troop committeemen and Scout mas ters. To carry on the war work of the Boy Scouts of America, as urged by President Wilson, a campaign for men to lead the Boy Scouts and for money to carry on tho work has been in augurated. February 8th to 12th is set for a vigorous nation-wide campaign for $200,000 a year for three years and a Scoutleader's Reserve Corps of 100, 000 men. The service value of tho Boy Scouts of America has been demonstrated. Tho Department of Agriculture, the Treasury Department and even the President himself counts the Boy Scouts of America as one of the great national assets. As Theodore Roosevelt says, "these Boy Scouts have mado Uuclo Sam's team." Already they have rendered the Governmpnt a signal service in three arduous campaigns war gardens, food conservation and Liberty Loan. We should be able to offer not alone the services of 300,000 boys to the Government, but at least 500,000 and possibly 1,000,000, Such nn ac complishment would make the sum wo aro asking appear paltry and in significant. Our Responsibility to Boyhood But there is a greater reason for organizing this work at this time. The boyhood of this nation should be given tho advantages of tho Boy Scout program at any cost. Our ob ligation to tho boyhood of America is greater now that we are at war than ever before, No nation can af ford to neglect its boys even In times of war. Look for the program elsewhere jn this issue, arranged by Scout Master Rev. Wm. J. Luscombc. The world is so full of good things to cat, we really can spare the meat and the wheat.
