Council President Heads Area Scouting
HERALD AND NEWS, KUmaHl Fall!. Oregon
Charles F. B;tne of Klamath
Falls heads up the adult organi
zation behind some 3.200 scouts in
the Modoc Area Council.
The trucking firm vice president
knows what it's like to devote
time to the scouting movement.
But he's the first man to speak
up for the satisfaction and feeling
of accomplishment it has given
him.
Bane's bailiwick extends through
central and southeast Oregon and
part of Northern California. Need
less to say, he spends a great
deal of time on the road, just
tending to Scout Council busi
ness.
Bane says his job and those ot
other volunteers is without pay.
He estimates he, spends about f0
hours a month and drives some
11,000 miles in scout work. .
"Our payment is the pride we
have in helping today's youths who
will be tomorrow's leaders." he
said. "There is a great deal of
self satisfaction in this type ofi
work."
The council president sees the
scouting movement as a major
force against the communists.
who in all countries are trying to
influence the young people.
"Scouting is the most dynamic
program I have ever participated
in," Bane said. ,
As president of the council, the
Klamath Falls man has striven
to put the council in the best
possible financial condition and to
subject the largest number of
boys possible to scouting.
"I was born hi a town of 200
and knew what it was like to,
lack an organization like t h e
scouts," he said. "There were
some organization activities, but
when they were over, we were on
our own."
"Honor" is a key word so far
as Bane is concerned. "If we
teach a boy nothing more than
honor, I feci that the organiza
tion has done a really tremen
dous job."
What is scout ing's greatest
needs? Despite the rewards Bane
mentioned, it is adult leadership.
"But we also need more boys,"
he smiled. "We need all we can
get."
Financial assistance is also
needed on a sustaining basis. Im-
provements are needed at the
scout camp on Crescent Lake.
Adults interested in scout work
need only call the local office or
adult Ieadere in council area
towns to get the information they
seek.

Question: I am building sev
eral cabinets and want to make
the doors of the same kind of
striated plywood that is on the
walls. of my den. However, this
striated plywood is only one
eighth of an inch thick and ob
viously much too fragile for use
as a door: I have tried tw'o lum
ber yards and can not get the
striated wood any thicker than
one-quarter of an inch. If I glue
the eighth-inch wood to some
three-quarter inch plywood, will it
hold permanently in a door which
will be opened and closed quite
often? '
Answer: If it is glued proper
ly with a good quality glue, it
will hold "permanently." That's
how three-quarter-inch plywood is.
made in the first place, by gluing
together sheets of thin wood. The
striations in the type of wood
you will use as a facing very ef
fectively conceal brads or small
nails. That makes it possible to
glue the two pieces of wood to
gether, then brad them at a few
strategic points to give added
pressure to the bonding while the
glue is setting. Incidentally, if you
want something a little extra
special, buy squares of the striat
ed plywood instead of a single
large, sheet. Glue these squares
onto the three-quarter-inch ply
wood, placing them so that the
grains of adjacent squares run in
opposition directions. You will get
a pleasing light and dark effect,
depending on where you are
standing when viewing the result.
The squares can be finished ex
actly the same as you would have
finished a single sheet.

WASHINGTON (UPI Does ra
tional life exist in other parts
of the universe?
That question has intrigued sci
ence fiction writers for many
years. Since the advent of the
Space Age. it has attracted grow
ing attention from theologians.
The latest religious scholar to
express a view on it is the Rev.
L. C. Mcilugh. S J., associate edi
tor of the distinguished Catholic
magazine America.
Father McHugh believes that
intelligent life not only exists be
yond earth, but that it is quite a
"common" phenomenon in the
vast reaches of space.
He acknowledges, in a recent
article for America, that "at this

"Why should these things not

"God made the universe for His
glory, not as something to lie

in sharing His happiness with ra

strange to say that His power,
immensity, beauty and eternity
are displayed with lavish gener
