Scouting's Golden Jubilee Year will be a jour-long celebration, marked by several great national events and countless local cere monies. There are now more than five million men and boys in ac tive Scouting. Boy Scout Week has been set of ficially from February 7 to 13. The major observance of the week will take part in Washington, D.C., where Boy Scouts of America was oi iginally incorporated. The Boy Stouts organization was founded by William D. Boycc, a Chicago publisher. Ho was in London, England, on a business trip in 1009. A cour teous, unidentified Boy Scout led Mr. Boyce to his destination and politely refused a tip, explaining this "good turn" was all a part oi the Boy Scout movement. The publisher was so impressed with the boy's enthusiasm and help fulness that he asked him to wait until he had completed his errand fo he could micstion him about! the program. The British Scout led Mr. Boycc to the oflice of Sir Robert Baden- Powell, founder of the British Boy Scouts. Laden with literature and full of enthusiasm. Mr. Boyce re turned to the United Slates and was instrumental in incorporating the organization here. Shortly after the Boy Scouts of America was founded, two earlier groups, the Woodcraft Indians, which had been organized in 1D02 by Ernest Thompson Scton, and the Sons of Daniel Boone, found ed in 1105 by Daniel C. Beard, united with the Boy Scouts and the movement was underway. In 1910, Dan Beard was elected to serve as National Scout Commis sioner. He was active in Scouting until his death in 1941 at the age ol 90 years. The Boy Scouts have been an Invaluable aid to conservation o( the nation's wild life. The move ment has been considered one of the greatest deterrents to juvenile delinquency and has inculcated a love of nalure and a sense of air play not only in the millions of boys directly involved, but in the even greater millions with whom the members have been in contact .through the years. If we could, by our hospitality keep our out-of-state visitors a few more days, and, if we could in terest more Oregon people to know and enjoy their state bet lor than they do at present, the great increase in revenue would make a tremendous boost to our economy. John Amachcr of Roscburg, a member of the Oregon Game Commission, is a native of Switzerland. Tourism is one of Switzerland's primary sources of revenue. The country has little in the way of natural resources. But it has unexcelled scenery and has provided facilities for recreation. But the training of the smallest child, says Amachcr, is to keep the country clean and attractive and to be kind and courteous to tourists. Training in tourist cour tesy is given in the schools and in the homes. Children in Switzer land, says Amacher, wouldn't think of littering their land with debris as occurs here in the United States. Here in Oregon we need a simi lar course of training. We will get nothing as extensive as is found in Switzerland. Nor will we be as courteous, thoughtful, help ful and hospitable as the people mentioned by .Miss Olson. But the Oregon Highway Com mission, through the advertising agency employed by its Travel and Information Committee, is making extensive preparations for school in all pails of Oregon during I'M. ft is hoped that in this school people who will be thrown in contact with out-of-state visitors will learn how to keep tourists in Oregon one or two days more. Each year we can add to our training and our schooling un til in Oregon we can begin to measure up to some of our for eign neighbors in attracting and keeping the tourist and the tourist dollar. strictly held in check to tailor it to actual demand. Its capacity was about three times that amount, when and if needed. The Soviet Union says its na tional income went up eight per cent in 1959. Ours gained by about per cent. The Soviet national income is put at 1" trillion rubles. The ruble at the Soviet-fixed rate is worth 25 cents. In exchange circles 10 cents is considered a more realistic figure. That puts Soviet national Income at 125 billion dollars, while ours is more than 404 billion dollars. Or, if the Russians mean by na tional income what we call gross national product the total value ol all goods and services then ours is 485 billion dollars. All along the line it's hard to tell just what the Soviet Union in eludes in its figures, and just what it compares them with. And al ways there is the problem of start ing with scarcity and straining to build up to adequacy, while we start with adequacy and build up to even higher standards of living or to meet increased needs of a growing population. But the challenge is definitely there. ll.sNaliy Vnxs By CHARLES V. STANTON Editor Roscburg News-Review If a tourist came to 'you and asked you to toll him about your county, its industries, its churches, schools, sources of revenue, busi ness, industry, recreation, places to see, history, and other such pertinent facts, what could you tell him? How well are you acquainted with the place where you live? Could you direct the tourist how to spend an interesting week in ycur area? Could you designate scenic tours that would carry him to points of interest? Could you tell him where he could find mo. tels, camp grounds, hotels and other such facilities? I question that many of us arc trained and qualified to answer the questions that a curious tour ist would ask. Furthermore question that many of us would So out of the way to be pleasant and helpful to a tourist. We would accept his presence as a matter of course and let him go his way, paying him not the slightest at tcntion. It isn't that way in Europe, ac cording to a letter from Laura Olson, who was a member of our news department for a time. Now she is a secretary in the Wash ington office of Cong. Porter. Dur ing the summer she made a tour ol Europe, accompanied by friend. One of the things that impressed her most in her contact with the people of various countries was the extreme courtesy and helpful ness shown to her. People volunteered to carry her bass. They helped her compose telegrams in the language of the countries visited. They assisted in overcoming the language barrier wren she wanted opera tickets. They hospitably wanted to share food and cigarcts. They helped in terpret menus. They guided t h c girls to spots of particular inter est. For one thing, they just plain wanted to talk to be sociable How many of us go out of our way to see that tourists have a good time when they visit us? I Here in Oregon tourism is our third largest "industry." Our out-of-state visitors bring in more money than comes from any ource oiner man tne woods in dustry and agriculture. People who live in Oregon spend approxi mately as much money louring within the state as do people who come from neighboring states. Snvi TliiM'.'ifs By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP) - Soviet Premier N I k 1 1 a Khrushchev's boasts of great industrial cains in the last 12 months are impres sive only in the light of the Soviet Union s avowed aim of giving the United Stales a run for its money sometime in (he future. The Soviet Union Is still wav behind on almost every industrial score except population on which to draw. And even with its an nounced plan of releasing 1.200.000 men from the military forces to do factory and farming work, it's a question how many of these nave the skill that modern indus trial technology requires. The Soviet Premier's recital of great percentage gains in produc tion must be viewed in the licht oi wnere the Soviet Union started and what he is comparing today wun. ti you begin with very little as the Russians did after the war any gain looks good in percent ages. If you start from fairly ado quale industrial capacity, as the united Mates did after the war. percentage gains are impressive because they reflect the glowing neeos ot an expanding economy.

Yet by studying the budget, no one can say with certainly at this rrtoment whether Eisenhower is one of the wisest of our presidents or whether he was far out of date in his own lifetime and didn't un derstand his problems. There are a couple of reasons: 1. More than a week ago he revealed the spending budget bis estimate of the cost of running tne government another year would be $79,800,000,000. It was a record for peactime. But it was far less than some ot his critics think necessary. Trouble is, his estimate and their complaint are both matters of opinion. It will be years before his ideas on spending can be proved right or wrong and then only by the results as they show up. 2. Eisenhower look over the presidency as a new age was dawning an age of missiles, space travel, competition with a surging Soviet economy, and a military competition with rockets undreamed of a few years ago. It's because we are still in the infant years of this new age that no one can say for sure either that Eisenhower kept his balance or that he underestimated the nation al problem and the American needs in terms of spending. In his 1952 presidential cam paign Eisenhower criticized the Democrats for spending too much. He promised to "cut the fat out of the budget." He was in the Army all his lile and may have had an oversimplified idea of gov ernment costs. There was a drop in spending alter the Korean war, briefly. Steadily, in the past five years the budget he offered Congress has been going up, although ac companied by a warning from him to keep spending down. In other words, his budgets mav have been setting peacetime rec ords but each time he considered his figures a minimum necessity. He can argue he tried to make good on his promise to trim the fat. But his critics complain that he cut bone and sinew, too. by not making provisions for a num ber of programs they think the nation needs or not spending on others, such as defense and government aid to education. Earlier this month Leon Kev- serling, who headed President Truman's Council of Economic Advisers, said the government next year should be spending about 10 billion dollars more than Eisenhower is calling for. He urged further stcpups to a total of 102 billion by 1964. His theory is that the expanding American economy requires that kind of thinking and that such spending would help the expan sion. All this happens at a time when Premier . Nikita Khrushchev is confidently predicting that Soviet communism in sheer prosperity will sail past the American capita list system in a few years. Thus the economic competition with the Soviets, hardly a prob lem in the 1940s, is very real, is being watched by the rest of the world, and in the end may change history. All this had to be in the minds of Eisenhower and his advisers when they decided $79,800,000,000 would see the United States through another year. Were they right? All the rest of us can do is wait and see. SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal IKimI VjiIih' By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) - Things a columnist might never know if he didn't open his mail: How much do you value your bed? After his dreary, wintry re treat from Moscow in 1812, Na poleon gave this opinion of a com fortable bed: "I would not ex change it for all the thrones in the world." We aren't the most talkative people in the world. The average Canadian uses the telephone 511 times a year, in Iceland the aver age is 480 and the United States ranks third with an average of 472 calls. Did you know the Union Jack is incorporated in Hawaii's state flag? It symbolizes the fact that Hawaii briefly was under British rule. Many people believe a check has to be written in ink. Actually, a check written with a pencil is just as legal but you're a fool to write one unless you use aH indelible pencil. . , -, When Orville Wright made' the first powered flight in an airplane in 1903. he flew a distance of only 120 feet.

The moon is approaching its last quarter. The morning stars are Mais, Jupiter and Venus. On this day in history: In 1782. statesman and U.S. Sen Daniel Webster was born.

A thought tor today: The states man Daniel Webster said. "God giants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it." WASHINGTON (AP) - Nike Hercules antiaircraft missiles with nuclear warheads are des lined for South Korea. The plans probably will be made public with in Ihe next few weeks. Nikes have an 80-mile range. The U.S. 8th Army and the United Nations Command in Ko ea have emphasized the need for missile defense against hundreds of Red jet warplancs believed to be based in Communist North Ko rea and adjacent Red China. U.S. forces in South Korea al- cady have several types of artil lery and rockets adapted for use of atomic ammunition. They in clude 8-inch guns, 280-millimeter uns and the Honest John battle- icld rocket. Presumably nuclear warheads also are stored there. The United States began intro ducing atomic-capable weapons into the South Korean defenses fter the North Korean Commu nists built a network of new air fields and imported modern jets. The 'Reds were told this meant Pays To Be Wed At Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (AP)-It pays to be married at the University of Pittsburgh. To induce joint participation In evening classes, the university has scheduled two fees one for the individual and a reduced rate for man and wife. U.S. defenders were no longer bound by treaty provisions for bidding introduction of new weapons. Missiles for both battlefield and air defense are now in position in most Far East Allied nations- except Japan. Japan, the only nation ever to be hit by atomic attack, dislikes atomic weapons. In the minds of many Japanese, all missiles, whether possessing nuclear capa bility or not, are classed as nu clear weapons. For this reason, no mention of missile bases may be included in the U.S.-Japan base treaty due to be signed here soon. If the Japanese decide later that Her cules missile bases are desired, that can be arranged. witnin recent months, some nonatomic sidewinder missiles for launching from planes have been brought into Japan's defense. Nike Hercules missiles are in position in Okinawa, the Uncon trolled island south of Japan On Formosa, one Hercules bat talion is manned by troops of the Chinese Nationalist army. Her cules weapons launched from For mosa could blast Red bombers almost as soon as they rose from their bases along the mainland. Planes on carriers of the U.S. 7th Fleet which roams along the Asian coast are capable of using both defensive and offensive atom ic weapons. The Air Force also has at least one Matador guided missile unit in the Far East. This plane-like missile has a range of several hundred miles. So far the Philippines has been cool to any idea of missile bases of any kind there.
