The Week will be observed from Feb. 7 to 13. The theme is ’’Streng then A m erica's Heritage” and we feel a better one oould not have been chosen. All manner of activities will chai acterize the Week. Churches of every denomination will give and develop the theme in their se r v ic e s . News papers, radio and television will give the Week the notice it so riohly d e ser v e s. Schools and civic groups will participate. P atriotic organizations will play their important part. The goal is to bring home to every American principles and ideals which the Soouts are pledged to sustain. The Soout Oath and Law is worth re-reading and remembering; ” On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Soout law. To help other people at all tim es, and to keepm yself physically string, men tally awake, and m orally straight. " Every Scout thus gains a philosophy to live by all hi, thus gains a philosophy to live by all his life . The Week will mark the 55th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of A m erica. Some 5 .5 m illion boys are now m em bers. May their tribe increase, and may the movement last for centuries to com e. *«• We had the pleasure of meeting Charles Hoo ver this week. It was interesting to alk to the gentleman since we have heard so much about him, his donations of tr e e s, and tips on caring for our feathered friends. It may be of interest to out of town readers to m eet Mr. Hoover through this m edia. He is a well known man in this area for his philanthropy in giving trees to school children and various civic organizations. Over the past years he has donated over 700,000 trees and has se t a figure of one m illion as his goal. Mr. Hoover also is a lover of birds and is very willing to give helpful advise on how to care for our feathered friends. One tip he gave us this week was to offer feed at night which will encour age the sm all song birds who arise in the morn ing., early, before the starlings and English spar rows are on the scene waiting for a handout. As Mr. Hoover told u s, "They (starlings and English sparrows) are lazy. The little birds arise ea rli er than they do, so if you want the little birds to get the food, put it out at night." Wonderful idea, Mr. Hoover! **« Cheerful events? ? ? It all depends upon your point of view . Changing Tim es takes a different look at things and forecasts that the following cheerful events will happen in 1965: About 7,23 3 ,0 0 0 children will stop outgrowing their shoes every couple of months. About 194^ 100,127 Am ericans will not be hurt or killed in an auto accident. Nearly 13,199,999 g irls will outgrow the B eatles. About 750,000,000 acres of forestland w illnotburn up. About 44,503,000 couples will stay m arried. About 5,5 0 3 ,0 0 0 c iti zens will file tax returns on which the arithmetic is absolutely co rrect. About 11,000,000 teen-ng- e r s will not drop out of high school, and over 600, 000 of those who go on to college in 1965 will stay there 4 y ea rs. One out of every 4 .3 golf balls hooked or siloed into a tree will bounce back onto the fairway. Over 20 billion dollars worth of au to loans will be paid off. And all year long there w ill be only one Friday the thirteenth! New oars are in the news once again, as the 1965 m odels step out to m eet the public. Maybe that's why we got an extra ohuokly out of a tidbit in the Dally Citizen of Beaver Dam, W is. It read: An advertisem ent in a rural newspaper: For Sale- one Holstein oow, base price $100.
