Boyhood ol America to benefit as U A. Lewis (left), bead at
B.P.O.E and Or. E. K. FretweU. bead of Scouts, lay plans.
the 1.47S lodges of Elkdom, rep
resenting some 900,000 members,
have adopted for the coming year
an aggressive plan to sponsor and
assist financially the promotion of
th Boy Scout program. Senior
Scouting and Cub Scouting, espe
cially in less privileged districts
and neighborhoods, according to
an announcement by Lafayette A.
Lewis, of Los Angeles, newly
elected Grand Exalted Ruler of
the B.P.O.E In this connection
Colonel Charles Spencer Hart,
Past Grand Exalted Ruler, has
been appointed to represent the
Elks on the National (Jivic Rela
tionships Committee of tht Boy
Scouts of America.
On a special trip to New York,
Mr Lewjs conferred with Dr.
Elbert K. Fretwell, chief Scout
executive for the United States:
Colonel Hart and Commander
Thomas J Keane, U.S.N.R., Na
tional Director of Civic Relations
of the Boy Scouts of America, and
ueveiopea plans tor luc paruci'
nation.
"Already we have 300 lodges of
Elks sponsoring Boy Scout troops
and Cub Packs," Lewis declared,
"but our goal is to have every
one of our 1,475 lodges cooperate
with from one to thre local Scout
units. More than one niillio.i beys
nearly 1,100.000 reach twelve
years of age each vear and 700.000
of them indicate they want to be
come Boy Scouts. Yet only 400,000
can be accepted because of in
sufficient sponsorship. We want to
help provide Scouting facilities
for the 300.000 left-overs and we
mean to furnish funds and offer
many of our war veteran Elks as
Scout leaders and committeemen.
"The 68,000 Boy Scout troops
for nearly two million Scout mem- t
bers are not enough. We have
seen militant minorities working
for some revolution or other: wny
not the militant minority .of Scout
trained citizens sponsored by Elks
who stand for our best institutions
and traditions?"
Mr. Lewis Quoted with pride
the figures of Admiral Chester
Nimitz that 40 per cent of his men
had been Boy Scouts and that 60
per cent of his decorated heroes
had been Scouts.
The new Elks' chieftain has ar
ranged itineraries totaling 150,000
miles of travel to subordinate
lodges this year. On his visita
tions ht plans to pledge more vig
orously than ever the Elks' cam
paign against Internal enemies of
America. The particular targets oi
the Elks are the Ku Kluz Klan,
Communism, Fascism and other
subversive elements.
In its 79-year history tht
B.P.O.E. has donated to worthy
causes more than $72,000,000,
reading a total of $5,000,000 dur
ing the past year alone in addi
tion to other sums given by local
lodges. Lewis expects basic con
tributions this year will total more
than $12,000,000. Much of this will
go for care of war veterans in 152
hospitals in 41 states, for the
benefit of crippled children and
toward college scholarships to
outstanding secondary school students.
Dec. 12, 1919: 'The first sleigh
of the season was seen on our
streets last Monday. Since then
they are a very common sight."
