A WORD OF APrRI CIATION
Words fail me at a time like this,

derstanding in my hour of sorrow.
It is an ' occasion of this .kind that
makes one realize the value of
friends. Knowledge of this fact will
aid and comfort me in the trying'
days ahead.
There were several floral tributes
which did not bear the names of the

thanksat this time.
It is not going to be easy for me
to carry on the business, but your
continued loyalty and friendship
will lighten my burden. It will be
my purpose to extend the same
courtesies and kindly treatment
that always characterizsd Mr. Mc
Namer's business dealings and won
for him the respect of the commu
nity. 'He lived in his house."

Scouting Builds
Self-Rel lance
Self-reliance of the individual is the
thing that strengthens a democracy.
That's why the training given our youth
by the Boy Scout movement has a dis
tinct bearing upon the future of our
nation. If we back the youth in their
training now we will have less to worry
about in the future management of
governmental affairs. Let's be liberal
wfth our money when the campaign for
Boy Scout funds opens next Monday.

One Good Turn Deserves Another
A Boy Scout is taught that he should do at least one good deed each day. He
is taught to be thoughtful of others, his elders in particular. This is but one
phase of the training a Scout receives, yet that alone is worth far more than it
costs to give a boy the entire Scout program. We can do something toward this
splendid youth training program by giving of our means to the annual Blue
Mountain Scout Council fund. We can do no less than show our appreciation
for what the Scouts are accomplishing in training themselves for good citizens
