A Scout is considerate and recognizes merit THE Boy Scouts of a certain community recently pinned a medal on this Company. Well, maybe it wasn't a medal. In form, it was a paperweight, designed to grace a desk in stead of someone's chest. But like a medal, it was presented for something the Scouts con sidered merit. The memento expressed ap preciation of this particular Scout Council for the many years of interest this Company has shown in its activities by support of its work. The Scouts indicated that, so far as they were concerned, we had won title to a mark of distinguished service. Now, for many years in their city and many another we've tried to do those simple things which add up to good citizenship. Wherever we have been part of any community living and doing business there this Company has done its best to forward welfare and character-building projects of every type. We're proud that these Scouts should feel our efforts in theif behalf entitle us to something which we like to construe as a badge of fellowship. The way we feel about it is that so long as we live up to their standards of citizenship we'll be doing all right.
