He stated that the biggest prob

leadership. The home, church,
school and community must
work together in rearing our
young people today. Scouting is
a leader in this field, Mayfield
said.
He also stated that studies
made recently indicate it is not
necessarily true that wealthy
communties are good ones in
which to rear children,, or poor
communities bad places to rear
them. It is dependent upon the
volunteer leadership given to
the activities of the youth. Med

better communities in this re
