'Scouts of the World Build
ing Together,' Theme of
Feb. 8 to Feb. 14
Nearly two million Boy Scouts,
Cub Scouts, Senior Scouts and
adult leaders throughout the
United States will commemorate
Boy Scout Week, which begins
Friday, Feb. 8, and continues
through Feb. 14. Theme of the
observance, which marks the
36th anniversary of the founding
of the movement in America, is
"Scouts of the World Building
Together."
The Boy Scouts of America
have created a "World Friend
ship Fund" and nearly two mil
lion members have been invited
and urged to contribute volun
tarily to it. Through the fund,
Scout associations in lands rav
aged during World War II are
being helped to rebuild their or
ganizations. At. the outbreak of
the war in 1939 there were more
than three million Scouts and
leaders in 70 different lands.
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.
Many troops have contributed
from the money earned by sal
vaging waste paper, while others
have given the proceeds of spe
cial Scout entertainments. To
make certain the greatest good
is done with each dollar spent.
the Boy Scouts of America se
cures the advice of the Interna
tional Scout Bureau in London
and has arranged with agencies
of the federal government at
Washington to see that the Scout
organizations actually get . the
help in the manner intended.
The fund will continue as long
as Scouting overseas needs aid
for rebuilding.
The Boy Scouts of the Philip
pines, for many years a part of
,the Boy Scouts of America, ana
now an independent association,
has received a shipment of Scout
supplies and $12,500. Ten thou-

40 million Riverside Tires have been sold

every single one of these Riversides was
deliberately chosen, in preference to all
other makes of tires. (For Riversides

Americans who choose their tires care
fully have learned that Riversides mean
more miles per dollar, more miles of
safety. Today, Riversides are actually
stronger than our prewar tires ! Every

500 to 1,000 tons of used but
clean and serviceable Scout uni
