Theme of the observance, which marks the 36th anniversary of the founding of the movement in America, is "Scouts of the World Building Together."

Aid to Fost-War World Many Boy Scout troops, Cub packs, and Senior units will mark Boy Scout Week by con tributing to the fund through local Boy Scout councils. The national executive board of the movement authorized the World Friendship Fund, believing it can make a definite contribution to the post-war world, since boys dedicated to the Scout ideals of tolerance, friendliness, and democracy, may be the lead ers of the world tomorrow.

The fund will continue as long as Scouting overseas needs aid for rebuilding.

Every ply is made stronger to make your tire last longer and provide protection against separation, bruises, and blow-outs.
